Does anyone have an opinion on these Ishod twins (apart from the fact that the graphic is hideous)? They’re on sale here and the shape looks comparable to the Foy I am currently riding safe for a slightly longer wheelbase. Any input would be appreciated.
I thought you had some of them before, or I might be thinking of Roisto who had them and liked them.
They are a good sized bigger board, super big rounded kicks, but the one I have just scared me, so I never set it up.
8.5 with 14.5 wb and 6.75 kicks if I recall correctly.
Cheers, yes it‘s the 8.5. I had a series of Neen twin noses which were longer than the Ishod, now I have a Foy (plus one on ice) which are presumably a hair shorter. The Ishod could be the sweet spot in between…
Do you still have the Ishod and could provide exact dims? Also, how steep are the concave and the kicks? The Neen was quite flat, the Foy has a bit more concave.
I have an unskated Ishod 8.5” twin here. Number III in the press. I loved the one I skated a good while ago.
Width: 8.4375”
Width middle of the truck holes: 8.4375”
Length (straight across): 31.875”
Wheelbase: 14.5”
Kicks: 6.75”
Kick angles: 22.0°
Concave feels normal to me. I skate mostly DLX boards. It’s definitely not flat but nothing crazy either. It’s a good well balanced, sized and shaped board IMO. Get one and see for yourself.
Glad Roisto has all those details.
I had been a bit busy and the one I still have is in a box somewhere.
And yes at least they are the same shape again and again, so if you do like the two you have bought, it is then just down to which graphic and then which stamped number you prefer, if shops you deal with get a few at least you can choose.
There is a noticeable difference in concave between I and IV, but I shouldn't get into that too much.
See for yourself and go from there.
