I can make the crail twin work and am committing to making the switch (due to regular availability) for sure but there are a few 'wish it was...'
WB with those forged 6.5" V-lites wasn't an issue, like the 8.125"/8.25" primitives, the longer kicks+ventures sort of nulls out the tight board feel in terms of 'perceived' WB...i.e., it feels longer because the trucks are pushing it out and my back foot can can go further back (compared to a short WB on a shorter board or a long nose/short tail 14" WB deck...duh). My ollies were very snappy/powerful and controlled feeling. So good.
I wish the kicks were a bit more full at [just] the tips, they remind me of the old 8.25" DSM/Enjoi Impact Light bloard's noses, totally usable tho
I wish there was an 8.3 (they could call it the G0Ɛ3
) but might try the 8.5 after I skate 1 more of the 8.25s (or just jump straight to it after this one) as I've been on 8.5s for the last 2 months. Dropping down to an 8.2" might as well feel like an 8".
Not board related, but I wish there were V3 x99s - I might throw on my stf v3s for a bit more hanger room/swap to 5.8 hollow hangers but am reluctant given how well I was skating (even tho I felt ever so slight cramped coming off a longer deck/wb and wider board with wider tindies, that is oddly LIGHTER).
