noticed i have a few boards in better shape than my current one, so i set up one of the old ones and then also did a bearing cleaning and all. it happens to be a 917 that measures 8.38 with a 14 inch wheelbase, but still probably almost 32 inches? so pretty long tail and nose. i remember this skating pretty good. i just pushed around on it and did a few ollies and it pops way easier than my old baker og 8.25 with a 14.25 wheelbase on ventures 5.6. no idea what that 917 board is even called or where it was made, i just assumed it was bbs back when i bought it but didn't do all the checks.
edit: i forgot, i also found an old lurkville 8.5 that measured a 14.1 wheelbase, doesn't seem to be warped. i remember keeping this to shape it into a cruiser, but maybe i just set up a second board with the 149 indys i have laying around in parts.
