I've missed wide shaped decks.





Black Label John Lucero Street Thing 9.88" x 32.25" with 14.5"- 15" adjustable wheelbase (set at 14.5")
Independent Stage 4 161
Spitfire F4 Radial Full 58mm 97a
Bones Super Reds Ceramics
MOB
1" hardware

This is the third time I've gotten this shape, and every time it's been different trucks and wheels. Hopefully this combo makes the board go!

Any chance you can measure width at the trucks? Been wanting to try this shape!

Front truck: 9.625"

Back truck: 8.75"

In the past, I've used Thunder 161s and Indy 159s, and I found they both worked well. 8.75" trucks will have an easier turn at the cost of higher wheel bite chance, while the 9" trucks will be more stable and have less wheel bite chance.

Thanks! I have a spare set of 159s lying around so maybe I’ll give them a shot!

This is gonna be my first time skating the Sweatpants shape, so I'm very curious to see how it performs compared to the Heroin Mutants I've been skating lately. Seems like a toned down version of that shape, especially near the tail.

I've had the Zogger for a while, but I wanted to save it for when the weather got better. It's sunny outside right now so I'll use this setup to dick around in the local parking lot spot.

So, I am still healing from an injury but should be able to cruise around in the near future. I have this warped shaped Blast deck but no fitting trucks and wheels for the purpose.

I am tempted to get some Aces but which size? The deck is 9.5" over the front truck and 8.5" over the back truck. Also, what wheels? I have been thinking about something around 60mm in 97 duro, Spits or some of those new Dragons or X Formula Bones?

Let me know your thoughts, pls!

Edit: I just ordered Ace 55s and 58mm 97 Spits. Can’t wait for Monday!

Seriously. I’m on the 9.5 Razor Egg and love it. Might sell off some popsicles in my stack to fund that Space Egg and Dressen Egg.

It’s great. It’s a heavy beast though. Which kind of makes it a great curb board.

The live isn't up, can we get a quick run down?
Looks like another mutant(hoping for a good graphic I need a new one), like a 9.5 egg, and something

Was feeling a bit bored of my regular popsicle. Looking forward to trying this. Wanted to cop 161s but the 151s seem to fit well enough. Not sure how I’ll go with the symmetrical given trucks are quite broken in.

thanks I missed that

Same here. Thanks

Anyone know the wheelbase of the Pink Mutant?

Love the DD shape mut sometimes I feel I could have a slightly longer WB (15") and toned down width. I have "only" size US 9 shoe, 9.5" deck would still be plenty enough. Pink Mutant looks pretty good...or maybe that Streetballer shape? (15" WB if I remember right?)  edit: both of those shapes would still go nice with Ace AF-77s, which I really like

Hey, so I tried to repost that “Live” from the other day and it crashed sadly. I’ve picked up all the new boards from Baker Boys now, so I’m measuring em now and I’ll post soon. The pink mutant is 9.5 wide and double drilled so you can have a 14” or a 14.625” WB. The Dead Dave actually came back on a 9.75 mutant this time. Dressen’s egg is 9.75 symmetrical. Space Egg 2 is our 9.4 non symmetrical award winning egg shape.
Official release date for our catalog is July 13th. Baker Boys are starting to ship out to stores from tomorrow though, so I imagine they will be popping up early next week.

Wait, the Mutant is smaller this time? The 10.1 Mutant is my favorite shape I've skated so far, you guys changing the specs on it?

Nah, that's the pink version. I mean the Dead Dave Mutant, Fos said it measured out at 9.75 this drop so that'd mean that the shape is different this time.

Interesting! Thank you very much...9.75" mutant actually sounds quite nice

'Twas a glitch, Dead Dave will be back to 10.1 next catalog. Also, all the previous Dead Dave models for the past couple of years are that 10.1 shape.
WB on the Dressen is 14.25.

Good to hear! I was contemplating panic buying them but in that case I guess I just have to wait 1 drop.

been contemplating this shape with 6.1s and radial fulls
looks like things will fit perfectly
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Yep 8.75 trucks and wider wheels should be perfect, especially if you prefer a touch of magic carpet.
