Has anyone skated the Alien/Habitat twin tail? I just got one and it's actually a twin nose- same exact nose shape as my BBs generic 8.38. The tail is a 1/4" longer, which makes the deck longer than my 8.38/14.5 Anti Hero.
So on paper I'm not stoked, but how does it skate? Tail just hit faster?
Yeah they sure are a long kick board.
I got a used one from a friend, had a go of it and put it in the "used boards to pass on to others" lot, mainly because it was a bit too steep for what works for me, but it skated ok once I got the hang of it.
When compared to a DLX twin that I also got from the same guy, which felt too short all round for me, the AWS twin nose was the opposite, but it was easier for me to skate longer kicks than shorter kicks.
Alien Workshop boards in general are longer, with very long squared off kicks, when compared to some other more normal boards, so some people really like them and others are not so keen, regardless of whether they are the twin or regular shapes. I had quite a few pass through my hands when someone I know was wanting them, so I got as many as I could find. Supply was easier to get with with DLX boards so he is riding those ones now.
