Thinking about trying one. Most likely Real Ishod. Anyone skating a twin tail? Do you like it? Anything you miss about having a bigger nose?

Get a twin with a bigger nose?

The only thing I've noticed useing twin tails (that are on the shorter end) is the angle for krooks, it's just a bit steeper (also depends on what truck/pinch you have going on, WB, etc.). The longer the kick/WB the mellower the angle for krooks.

Baker twins coming soon?

Baker twins coming soon?

All aboard the Twin Tip bandwagon, if Baker did the B2 shape in a twin that would be interesting.

BBoys just need to make some more Foy twins...I keep trying other brands but the DW foy twin shape is just sooo good (so good I had to jump right back after trying the habitat 8.5).

[Frank and Fred]

Feeling a need for another Ishod twin. Might wait for the new 8.75" coming out soon.

Real 8.75” Twin Tail coming? Where did you find/see this? Thanks!

[Frank and Fred]

Spring 2024 catalog. Looks like 8 5/8" wheel base and slightly longer tails than the 8.5"

[badger.]

Spring 2024 catalog? They've only just released the Fall 2023 Holiday catalog, right?

I don't know that I've seen a Real twin above 8.5" (I hope you're right, though!).

i wish someone would make a wide (8.75 or 9) twin popsicle without a long wheelbase. real and welcome both get over 14.5"  in wider sizes (the welcome 8.75 has a 14.75 wheelbase, geez). heroin seems to be about the only company making wide twins with short wbs, but just on eggs. but i would very happy if someone told me i'm wrong!

There are a lot of shop people and other "associates" on here, who have access to see / order product, so the insider info is out well in advance, compared to what any other person would see once any brand puts up a new catalog online.

You could say there is always a fair bit of inside info floating around too, but in general it is usually kept under wraps until things come out, or at least until someone posts something about it and then everyone else knows too.


And yes that twin 8.75 shape looks pretty good, sizing up and decent dimensions that would work nicely for people who want a larger board with slightly longer wb / kicks.

[Frank and Fred]

Also if you are an internet sleuth you can find upcoming catalogs online, easy enough.

And Cal Skate has it up for pre-order already,

Ha yeah, superior sleuthing skills???


But that's interesting Cal Sk8 is really trying to get a handle on the early market for product.  At least if it is out there, it is not a worry to provide all the specs and details.

Not a new shape but I'm liking McCrank's new Twin Tip graphic, I've swore off Crailtap decks but this could lure me back.

Also it's McCrank!

Saw this today, really tempted but I just know the 14" won't work for me, regardless of truck =(

Anybody skated this shape on Indy's? I'm really curious but it feels like these kind of shapes are designed to work better on Thunders.

Skated a couple G096 (8.5 model) on Indy 149s. WB certainly felt small, but I wouldn't say cramped (i'm a short wheelbase lover tho so keep that in mind). I just kinda went wide stance and kept my feet closer to over the bolts for most tricks

Honestly, that set-up is one of my favorite in the recent past. Something about it just felt "right". Beautiful dims, strong wood that broke into a nice flexi-ness, super middle of the road concave.

FUCK i gotta buy another one now....

[Xen]

Bought a Worrest twin slick today instead...the 14.4 WB is more my stance...a bit bummed it's not an 8.5+ but you gotta do what you gotta do; hoping 159s on it won't be to crazy.

[Xen]

Coming off the Foy, the DLX 8.3 twin is an easy jump, probably should have been skating these more.

Was able to see/step on the crail G096 today, wow, what a kick! the shape look amazing (and kinda big even for an 8.25...but that WB).

Those that have ridden the DLX 8.3 or even the foy, which is probably no one, how does the G096 really feel? The kicks are long compared to the foy and seemingly the DLX...is the 14" WB on it that noticeable? FWIW, the 8.25" primitives I usually skate have long kicks (tail being comparable to the G096's) and the 14" WB works just fine.

I can tell you the following:
Dlx 8.3 (III, I think) with thunder titanium lights and 51mm wheels pops exactly like the crail twin with venture lights and 54mm wheels. I tried everything else on the crail and nothing felt even slightly fine because the pop felt way too light for me.

I set up 5.8 ventures cast hollows on the Worrest (it's a IV, thankfully). but unsure on wheels (52/53/54); it fucking poured last night so no skate today to try it out.

Probably should have bitten with those recent 30% off sales...hell even got the worrest after the sales were over.../sigh

Is the 96 twin tail and the 69 twin nose?  I've skated a few 69's and they are my favorite shape I can remember by far.  I had commented on a crail post on the gram if they made a twin McCrank it would be all I'd buy and I really like that graphic but I need to look into the difference.  I didn't know crail had two different twins.  Also pissed it dropped right after I spent $$$ on the pop secret 69

Ive actually ridden those 3 Xen and my thoughts are this..

Ive found i prefer mellow kicks but still steep concave, it just helps my flip tricks more, so the ishod/worrest decks are my fav. The foy was still mellowish kicks and slightly less concave, so it was pretty close actually behind the dlx ones. The girl twin i had definitely felt steeper with bigger kicks and mellow concave which is like the polar opposite of what i like so i struggled on it. But again thats just me. I actually pulled a Neen and tried to flatten the kicks out with my car wheel but it still didnt work for me lol.
