The Zero is 1/4" shorter in length and it's wb is 14.25, I think it says 13.75 on the SMA. I wish it had the same sub 14" wb because I plan on pairing it with 6.1 Ventures (at this moment) Haha

Nice, I want to try the 6.1’s on a few decks I have laying around that didn’t feel quite right on Ace’s and Indy’s. Polar Dane 1 I have seems like it would go nice with those. That sub 14’ wheelbase really interests me as I’ve ridden a bunch of 14’ popsicles and they felt great and would like to try a wider shaped deck with something like that

[close]

If that works out for you please let me know. This will be by far the widest setup I have used in like 20 or more years, so I will be a mess for a while. If I just cant get used to the 14.25 wheelbase with the wide shape (and the nostalgia wheres off), I will on the prowl for the same thing  you described.

For sure!

just went from 169 w risers to 6.1 with no risers on the dane 1. it rode nice, hot rod up front as expected. Was with 54mm conicals (not full). also keyframes but didn't really ride it. i liked it better on my 8.75" popsicle bc longer wb and length deck was more comfortable for me with my height.

I gotcha, I was riding Indy 159 with 1/4 risers on the Dane 1 and they felt good. Felt like it could use trucks to push the wb out a bit so O figured aventures would be the way to go. I had some Venture 5.6 on a 14’ wb popsicle a month ago and was surprised at how nice the Ventures turn (put some Bones soft in top bushing and left bottoms stock)

I see a few of you guys on here are running 159s or 6.1s on the Dane 1 and liking it. Thats a 1" difference correct? The deck I just ordered is 9.5 so I wonder if I should try the 5.8 Ventures I already own on it before I buy the 6.1s.. Although the two decks are slightly different shapes, any thoughts?

I think 159 and 6.1 are both 8.75 axle, so same width and the Dane 1 tapers so the 8.75 axles are nice on that shape.  One inch might feel weird on a deck that doesn’t taper, though plenty of folks ride set ups like that and don’t mind.

Might as well try the 5.8’s if you already have them to see how they feel

I think I will try them, Looking at the shape again the rear truck might be pretty flush. The front truck will definitely be magic carpet but I think thats how alot of us ran them back then. I just found a brand new set of 54 mm 97a slimeballs in my box of shame too

Eh... the 5.8 are 8.5” and Dane 1 tapers to just under 9” in the rear like 7/8” I think if I remember. Those trucks will be too small imo.

Crosspost from the considering buying thread, but i'm looking for board options to put Indy 215s on.  I'm keen to get a set now they're around again, and want to see what 10"+ boards are out there.  Seen the GGIs and the Dogtown Bigfoots, but keen for some other insanity. 

Anyone running 215s on anything?

[close]

In my opinion you can ride them on much more than most people do. 9.5” and up and in general everything with a wide tail.
All kinds of scrams, sc winkowski, even. or heroin eyeballer (very similar shape with modern concave)
A lot of the prime and new deal reissues work for sure.

You just want to ride them as loose as possible because they turn pretty, pretty poorly.

[close]

Good to know, thanks. 

Turn bad? I just imagined they'd feel like bigger 169s.  Chuck em on a riser and get busy but that's a shame.  You know if the wide Aces or Thunders do any better?

The super wide hanger gives you less lean/angle before you get wheelbite.
Ace 66 might be the carviest, wider option? 9.35", shorter wb than Indy's, but lower too.

If you're serious about 215's you should get them quick, I'm pretty sure they sold out again in the States.


What's that big Dogtown shape called? A pig? Off the top of my head that's the only shaped style that really needs 215's. Alva has some thing similar. And Pool Kings? Socal skateshop and sk8supply might help with options.

Did you get that Zero board? I've been eyeing it but didn't wanna give Lamie money. I've wanted something with a wide nose and shorter wb so I almost got the one with the eyes graphic.
Is the Liberty graphic BBS wood? I'm worried that the newer ones would be Dwindle.

The dressen that I posted up there is a real similar shape to the zero, 14.25 wb too. There’s a slick version out now. Might fit the nostalgia perfectly?

I had a Dane 1 with 151 thunders a while back, do t think I have a pic but they fit well with wide wheels on the back truck, very slightly magic carpet on the front but not so you’d notice.

The deck I bought is 9.5 at the widest and looks to have a similar taper to the Dane 1. So that might put my rear truck flush. Hope in one hand, shit in the other at this point

Didn’t put much time in with 6.1 on the Dane, and changed the wheels too when I did, but it was kind of easy to see the diff. After riding 169 the 6.1 felt real narrow up front with the wide 9.75” deck.

I really like that Dressen shape too. I think there's a Creature board with the same shape. Also a wider Creature that's double drilled. Maybe 14.5" and 14"? Thought about getting one of those but if I'm being picky I'd prefer BBS for a shaped board, the flexiness fits th old school feel. And I really like how I can feel the "spoontail" in the concave. Dwindle wood is really crisp, I like it but not my preference. And I've given nhs enough money this year.
