fun shape, i like the 14.5 WB, but i'm a little thrown off by the longer tapered nose, especially in the shovel nose era. not sure of its intended function, i guess.
I really want the white dipped version as my smaller wheel, mini-ramp/flatground easy rider. w/ some Ace 55s and 53mm wheels. Any more thoughts on the shape, what works with it, and what doesnt?
i've got the white dip sitting around too, looks better imo. i'm probably not the best guy to ask honestly, i have been mostly seshing my main popsicle board in the park. if you've ever skated an egg/football, then you kind of have an idea. they scoop and flip easier, with a little less pop as the downside. the things unique about this one are the longer wheelbase, mid to steep concave/kicks, rounded tail with a longer, pointy nose.
overall i dig the shape and think it would be good for what you wanna do with it, i have it set up similar to your description. only thing that throws me off is the tapered nose, i'm so used to seeing boards that taper the opposite way. maybe it makes it a little more nimble, at the expense of noseslides?
