Finally I could put together my big boy setup.

Baker 9" Kader Popsicle, stated as 9x33 WB: 15 but my measurements gave me 8.75x33.125 WB: 15
Local brand griptape called Jigsaw, pretty decent and the graphic doesn't bother me at all.
Venture 6.1 Kader ones.
Bones STF 99 V4 54mm with big balls.
Tomorrow I'll try it, looking forward to try it.

i like this. It doesnt taper over the trucks to 8.75”? Straight 8.75” ? You like 15” wb? I’ve never tried but wanting to for some reason

[close]

I checked again and is straight 8.875.
Regarding wb tomorrow I'll be able to tell you, board is still virgin.

[close]

fat and fun

Tried it today, I hated it. Flip tricks are a bitch on 15" WB. If you take all flip tricks out of the equation so yes, this is a fun but heavy af board.

Its crazy what a difference 1/4 - 1/2" makes on a wheelbase. And how much heavier the board feels. I really wanted to like my Lance Mountain Black Label with a 15". I can handle up to 14.75. But never again will I try anything bigger.

So true. I think I could flip a 10" board with a 14.25" WB easier than I could an 8.5" with a 15" WB.

This, I could flip a 9.125 Polar Boserio board with relative ease but this one was a nightmare.

Finally snagged some 215s, now to decide what monster board to get

I nominate the Dogtown Big Foot II Rider Deck 11.875" X 30.75" with 15.5" wheelbase, mainly because I want to see how ridiculous it is (especially if you choose to put small wheels on it)

Been eyeing them off, and have some old 54mm soft Spitfire Classics i'm probably going to chuck on it but trying to figure out what wheels I actually wanna run on this sucker.

Also eyeing off the GGI Skates board I posted earlier, but that'll be like $220 Australian... 

And the AH Ol' Yeller that has been posted in here.

Decisions, decisions.

[lysdexia]

king size curb crusher would be my current pick for a 10" + board

OCD have them for $129 AUD at the moment

The new Black Label Lucero 10". It's perfect for 215s, BBS wood, and hell'a comfy to ride.

Just came out, still hard to find.

Has anyone skated this shape before? I've had my eye on it for a while but I don't want it to end up being yet another board I get sick of after a few weeks.



Black Label 10.25" x 31.5" with 14.5"-15" WB

[close]

Yes fucking SICK board

[close]

What did you like/dislike about it? I'm probably just gonna stick Ace 66 and Spitfire 58mm 99a Classics on it.

Also found a pic of the board from way back then

[close]

It’s a perfect mix of transition and street board, adjustable wheelbase is actually useful on this board rather than all the other huge ones

Kickflips feel great on it, lots of meat behind the front bolts and the tail is fanned but not too flat

[close]

Thanks, now I just need to find a shop that actually has it in stock. I'd get it from Black Label's site directly but shipping+tax is another $20 or so and it doesn't come with grip

[close]

Fuck it, just spend the extra $20 and buy it directly from Label. Last I heard, Lucero was running that shit out of his house and his best bud just died. Throw an OG a bone!

[close]

Did it, requested for extra accessories to help offset the extra costs. Hopefully he fulfills it.

[close]

I can’t figure out if I should hate you or hate hate you.

[close]

I mean it doesn't hurt to ask

[close]

Yeah man, post some pics of that shit here when you get it set up. Can't wait to see. I've already got a 10' Black Label, but I might need another!

Well here it is, and it's such a beast seeing it in person.



Thing is, I'm forcing myself to not set it up (or at least not put trucks on it) until my current board is through so I'm not stuck with a stack of used but good boards. I'm most certain that I'm going to ignore this principle after a week.

Also here's why it never hurts to ask politely for free stuff. It also came with a 9" sheet of Jessup (If you're reading this, thank you John!!)



Anyways, here's the deck measurements for anyone interested.

It actually measures just barely at 10.18" instead of 10.25" at its widest point (but I really doubt that's a big difference for a deck this size).

Length is 31.5".

Wheelbase is adjustable, 14.5" and 15".

Tail is 6.875" x 8.75".

Nose measured from the 14.5" WB is 6" x ~7.5".

Nose measured from the 15" WB is 5.5" x ~7.5".

The width across the middle of the back mounting holes is 8.875".

The width across the middle of the front mounting holes with the 14.5" WB is barely 9.75".

The width across the middle of the front mounting holes with the 15" WB is barely 9.5".

Dude, that's so fucking cool. Lucero is one of that last truly good dudes out there. Did he sign that poster for you or is that a print? Either way, makes me want to order that 10" I posted above direct from him, just for respect.

He signed it! I was really surprised with all that came in the box as I was just expecting the deck and several stickers.

Got this one shortly before the quarantine and have been relentlessly bashing it against (and sometimes up and onto?) a nearby curb.




Krooked Dan Drehobl  9.25 x 31.85

Wheelbite is definitely happening on occasion, but it's mostly ok. These wheels should wear down any day now...

To be totally honest, I haven't studied up on wheel base and truck dimensions too much. It did feel really stable on the pre-quarantine transition I had a chance to skate, but it's also really surfy just cruising around and turning into curbs. Might just be the overall Ace effect?

The only semi weak point of this thing is the pop. My ollies are a bit sluggish and nollies are ghosty. On my other setup (an 8.75 Polar popsicle with 6.1 Hi Ventures), my ollies and nollies feel way snappier and more consistent.

That might be the way to go. Nollies are pretty much not happening for me using the longer wheelbase holes. I mean they didn't happen all that much for me to begin with, but it's a noticeable miss. Like an airballing it in 8th grade PE class miss.

Hi, first post here. I got this set up w/ my stimulus check. It's a bit more of a cruiser board now but I have some other wheels I could put on it if I really wanna try and "skate" it.

im not sure what was possessing me to try that shape as a main setup. that top view is screaming at me that it wouldnt work

Yeah, I'm not loving them but they do haul ass and smooth out the ride. I've never really skated any soft wheels before so I'm not sure if I just don't like soft wheels... I have some 56mm F4 conical fulls that I'll probably try out at some point, but probably not until my main set up is worn out. I'll keep cruisin

[munchbox]

those spits will surprise you if you ever go out to cruise on em

the 99a 53mm conical fulls have convinced me to avoid buying softies for a long time. would rather just get a bigger size conical full(56+), roll over everything, and not have to worry about having too much grip for slides. those wheels are fast as hell
