So since coming back to skating a year ago I have only skater death wish and tactics shop decks. Both the same wood, so I wanted to try a ps stix deck and picked a quasi deck because it was 8.125 and over 14 wheel base. Anyone got experience with them? I’m praying the Oregon weather does not make it go to mush! At least for a month or more.
-
They niiiice bro! I got the 8.25 davis baptism and I really love the mellow kicks and squarish shape
-
That’s a good point, I did not even think of how steep the kicks might be! Are they all pretty mellow? I’m riding indys so I prefer mellow.
-
Best shape out.

Oh yeah they all pretty mellow from what I have seen, and hell yeah indy is def my preferred truck with Quasi. Shit is explosive!
-
Go for it homie. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one of those 8.5x33 boards. Currently have a wknd (ps stix) and it hit different for sure. I think I like it better
-
I’m glad to get positive feedback! Now I don’t have to spend the two days for it to get here from tactics going what am I doing buying a non bareback board!
-
I haven’t had a quasi in a few years but it was mellow and one of the better decks I had around that time. I think it’s a pretty safe bet
-
Be sure to know if you want the rounded or the square/band-aid shape (band-aid/square is amazing).
-
Just skated 2 Quasi decks back to back, they’re great and hold up well in all sorts of weather. Always love riding a ps stix board. I find they can be a bit fragile sometimes but it doesn’t bother me.

that’s a good point! The shape of the one I ordered looks like a standard popsicle to me, and that’s what the website has it listed as. It’s the crocket wiz deck

I wish more sites would do what Slam City does:

THAT'S how you show product.

totally agree. Should be the standard. Top view + Width length and wheelbase.

Anyone know if the Proto Two is a special shape? When Quasi first came out I reckon I skated 5 or 6 in a row... obviously loved them. Took a pretty big break to skate BBS wood for a while and bought a Proto Two not that long ago and hated it for some reason. Very very flat all round, not how I remember it.
Dumb question but what trucks are people preferring on Quasi's square-er shapes? Aces feel like shit and have Thunder Indy and ventures at my disposal

When I skated thunders I loved Quasi decks. Once I swapped to aces, they just didn’t work for me at all.
I second the notion of shops putting up wheelbase / length when they list decks online. I suggested this to the owner of my local (a friend of mine), and he told me if I wanted to know the wheelbase I should just come in and measure it myself haha
-
I rode indy 149s on all mine 8.25-8.5 with 56mm conical fulls. it was the best. I liked manuals with the aces but didn't really like anything else with them.
-
Personally I like the shape of their 8.0s much better. They fit Thunders/Ventures way more. The 8.125 I'd have to run Aces/Indies on since there is like no flat between the kicks and bolts. Also I like a full kick but a square insanely short one gets kind of old after a while. Plus it's PS so it feels shorter than what it actually lists.
My favorite Quasi shapes are their 8.0 x 32.375s, 8.25 x 32.375s and 8.375 x 32.25s. I'd fuck with the 8.5 x 33 shape since it's similar (full bandaid style not FA no tail square kick shape) but it's a little bit too long for me.

I really like the fact that their photos actually showcase the shapes properly vs what Socal or SW does.
I skated a bunch of the proto ones w/147 ti thunders and loved them. Great combo. Didn't like them with any other trucks.
Not sure of the I or II are different? They've a bunch of different models that are One or Two / I or II and seem to be based on size? II = bigger?

Quasi Time One
Quasi Time Two
For Protos: Twos are 8.5, ones are 2.5. Ones taper from 8.25 to 8.0. Twos don’t taper.
Time one is just a standard 8.0. They only have one 8.0 shape and it’s nothing like the protos. It’s my favorite shape (see my comment above) by Quasi. Time Two is a Proto One shape but I believe it might not taper (but I could be wrong about the taper thing).
I recommend trying Indy 144s with forged base plates with the Proto One if you’re haven’t... they sit perfectly and are lower than Indy Standards.

if so, get it. fucking lovely.

Where I live (Finland) ps boards are like 15euros more than bbs boards. I’ve had three quasis, everyone of them snapped in half in like 5 sessions. Do you think that I’ve had bad luck only or that ps wood and it’s nanotubes jus’t don’t like to travel across the pond? Should I try them one more time or stick with bbs?

i mean if you can afford it sure. i snapped only one out of five of my bbs decks and dlx sent me a free replacement. im not sure how good ps stix customer service is, but that always keeps me coming back
-
great boards, great shapes. go for it. the dudes that work there are hella helpful too, so if you got questions, hit em up.

From my experience American companies do not like to answer if I try to contact them, being from EU (especially warrant stuff) . Only one has ever answered to me was indy years ago when baseplates snapped in half (stage 10?), they told me to contact european distro and there they said that shit happens, that they’re not gonna replace it😄 These days I don’t even bother to try, I just suck it up and put hand on my pocket and get new shit. The reason why I asked is that has any european pals notice same thing on ps wood? I mean new Quasi would cost me 88USD, I can afford that for sure but should I🤔 Those shapes are on point tho.

I just got the 8.25 x 32.375 shape. The wb and width are accurate (8.25 and 32.375), but the length is more like a 32, 31.95 ish and nowhere near actually 32.375
-
I've only skated ps stix wood the last year and a half. Mainly 8.25s with 14.25wb and the 8.5x33 with 14.5wb. Quasi, Wknd, and FA, I wouldn't pay extra for them, but definitely prefer the shapes and wood because I keep buying them. Had a polar that was bbs a little over a year ago that I really liked though, so if ps was more I'd probably buy polar or something else instead.

Did you put the length in the WB spot when typing? 32.23 is a long fucking wheelbase :P
That defiantly jibes with the other thread/comment about PSTIX measuring with a soft measuring tape accounting for the concave; truth be told the 'long' measurements have kept me off quasi (AW/Habitat) because I don't like long boards. But that also begs the question of if they're marked 'shorter' boards are, in fact, shorter than what they cite.
Makes me wonder if the FA measurements are done tip to tip even tho they are PStix.

The few Hockey decks I've had (and the one WKND 8.3) definitely have steeper kicks and a bit more concave than any Quasi deck I've had. But the overall shape is very similar.

yeah I have to concur on FA boards also having way more concave/steep kicks in the same shape/dimensions as a quasi board

I would say it's not worth it, maybe once in a while not all the time, damn that is $$$ for a deck.

Oops my bad lol. Yeah, I remember I had an 8.5 x 33 quasi a few years back and I didn't know at the time but in hindsight it was long ish but almost definitely wasn't 33. I can't say for sure for the other shapes, but this particular one, as confirmed by someone else in one of the gear threads is for sure a 32 not 32.375

Yeah, I agree. Especially since ps boards are super crisp and poppy for the first few weeks, but seem to lose their pop quicker than most.
I’ve actually been skating several Quasi’s in a row because, as a lot of people have said, they’ve got great shapes (at least the 8.25” 14.25 wb’s I skate). But would I still skate them all the time if they cost me $88? No.

they did, from the research I could find on the internet.. but I’m not sure it’s top quality bbs wood. My tactics deck had the weird white looking bumps that turned to little chips and cracks on the edges, might have been something up with the epoxy when pressing the deck. And it went soggy after a month. My death wish board lasted four months and never went soggy, I just finally retired it when it was razor tailed to the point of looking like a shaped kick tail, but since I only payed 35 for the tactics board it was no big loss. If hurting for cash I would give it another shot, I might just have got a bad board.

I guess I stick my bbs then unless I get one from discount. Polar/AH has been good to me always.

My last PS Stix got really soggy really quickly l, maybe I got a bad one or they save their better boards for their more popular brands like quasi and hockey. Either way, I’m on south central wood at the moment and it’s like night and day...

Every PS I've ridden, except Quasi and one Habitat all sogged out in about two weeks (seems like the max life for most pros if not just one week); the habitat actually felt very different, very thin and cripsy compared to anything I've ridden out PS.

Literally can't measure pre-press, shape hasn't been cut yet!
If you watch the vids it's pretty obvious the cutters are cutting to length and width, they cannot "see" height or kicks/concave. This is the way CNC cutters work and these cutters are just moving in 2 axis.
If shops didn't cut shapes by length/width it'd be really tough for FA or Alien to use 2 woodshops for 1 shape/size. They probably just send the CAD file to the other shop.
PS Stix might measure flat across the deck with a soft tape.

Love Quasi! For awhile I was riding the steeper squared shape, generally used for the Gilbert or Jake Decks, but I have since switched to the Bledsoe shape that's more Popsicle and mellow.

There is no physical template with CNC. Drafting file, cutting path, cutting speed...
CAD drawing could give you length along the top and/or bottom of the deck, even straight thru the centerline for a "truer" length. But those lengths will vary thru the pressed stack.. see my last comment..
Template stuff is old school. And the templates are scale models, like 1/2 or 1/4 size. I've heard the stories about the old World riders working with Mullen on their shape and how it was art/science watching him make masters for shapes. Seen vids of the Professor doing this too. I'm assuming he has a cutter that uses templates at his Costa Mesa shop for small runs as it wouldn't make sense to have a CNC cutter sitting idle. Those things are probably $100k+.
To transfer this to CNC I'm pretty sure you could use a touch probe scanner, wouldn't need something crazy like laser scanning. Make a CAD file, email it to TJ..
Also
If you measure flat along a deck then steeper kickers will give you longer lengths. Flatter kick, shorter length. Would make it tough to give a listed length unless you said middle of the stack for measurements, some average length wonkiness.

I’ve been skating Quasi and AH pretty exclusively for like 4 years now. Can’t bring myself to try any other boards at this point but I really want to try a dollar lave. Anyone got a quick review on those?
-
Love Quasi! For awhile I was riding the steeper squared shape, generally used for the Gilbert or Jake Decks, but I have since switched to the Bledsoe shape that's more Popsicle and mellow.
bledsoe shape is my favorite, but i miss the JJ shape that was slightly mellower. Or maybe i got one that was further down the stack.

That JJ Shape was amazing. Noticed it more during the Mother days.

For some reason I really liked when they were called Mother, once they had to change for Quasi I stop caring at all for whatever dumb reason.

I wish more sites would do what Slam City does:
https://www.slamcity.com/collections/50-60/quasi-skateboards (https://www.slamcity.com/collections/50-60/quasi-skateboards)
THAT'S how you show product.
Then you should check out skatewarehouse site then. They actually show the side view of the concave. I know concave varies due to stack but they give you 3 views of the decks.

Just to highlight this a little bit and how much it can vary

These are the same model, same size, same mold. PS stix 8.25"... The one with the green ply almost felt like a different shape because of how much steeper everything was. I was kind of shocked by this so I checked it with boards from other wood shops and it seemed like the mellower concaves (DOA Flat as fuck/SC "E" mold, Pennswood Kiddie Pool) had less difference but the PW ones I had were a 1 and 3 respectively so not that far apart. BBS Antihero boards were almost as bad as the PS ones but I'm not ripping my grip off to check where they were in the stack.

ps measures with the tape flat so all their length measurements are off in my book. does the quasi 8.5/proto 2 shape thats listed at 32.125 really come out at 31.75?
-
Currently riding an 8.5. Love the square nose. Just recently swooped up the 8.75 because I wanted to try out wide, and hot damn that feels long just standing on the deck.
-
how long is the 8.5 tip to tip? the 8.75 is definitely on my list to try once the venture drought is over
-
Their 8.5 x 32.125 shape with 14.25 wheelbase and square kicks is my shit. Maybe the last 15-20 of my popsicles have been this shape. I just bought my third in a row of the same graphic because it's all i can find locally.
There's a lot of hate for ps stix on slap, in favour of bbs, but I think they're great. I love their "pop feel", I find the quality more consistent, they don't chip as easily, and because they're pressed in smaller stacks, there's much less variation in concave / flatness.
-

Quasi has 2 8.5 shapes. One is listed as 32.125 with 14.25 wb and the other is 33 with 14.5. Although multiple people including one in this thread says the measurements are overshot a bit cause they press the measurer into the concave.

Yup. I think it's the difference between measuring flat across the top, or across the bottom. If you're used to a bbs 8.5, a ps 8.5 will probably feel like 8.625

True! Good observation! Perhaps why my bbs feel more flicky and ps feel like they flip slower.

Anyone run Quasi on Ace 44?
Spefically the 8.38 or 8.25 shape.
-
I have- I actually liked the Proto on them didn’t like the 8.38 shape and gave it away.
There are 2 8.38 shapes one was used for Gilbert, which I didn’t like, but I really liked Al Davis’ shape. Now that he is cancelled not sure what else I would get from them.

I second this as well. I did notice though the blessed shape works well for me with 44s
Mostly hit or miss for the other stuff tho

I should clarify I rode the AL shape on Thunder and it was great. I tried the Rizzo shape recently and didn’t like it at all on Thunder or Indy, didn’t keep it long enough to try Ventures

I emailed Quasi about this (admittedly a few years ago now, so possible outdated info), cause I was wondering about the 8.38's. Reply directly from Chad said 8.38's were all the same shape, same wheelbase, and that any difference in concave/steepness was on account of woodshop variations. I had a Bledsoe 8.38 (Drip graphic I think) that I loved, on the steeper side. Got that Claire graphic 8.38 last winter and it was DOA flat, retired that one early.

Dunno about the 8.75 but all the 8.5 and 8.25 quasi's I've had actually measured slightly bigger.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Quasi makes any decks with a wheelbase over 14.25. My JJ 8.5 is 14.25 and not a hair over

My first Quasi – the Bobby Dekeyzer pro – was 8.5 x 14.25 WB. Loved it.
Then I learned some of their 8.5's have a 14.5 wheelbase. I ordered a mono and a proto deck thinking they were the same sizing, but nope, you can see the size difference. And right now, I'm on their 8.75 which has a pretty long wheelbase – 14.75 I believe.
Anyways, once I get through that, I'm gonna try to stack protos and the JH models when I can find them.

The Quasi Mono 8.5 has a 14.5 WB I believe, a friend of mine had one and it was a lot longer than the other 8.5 Quasi I had, almost felt like a twin nose, the tail was quite long.

Yup, they do two 8.5 shapes. If you're looking at an online shop and they list the length but not the wheelbase, the 32.125 is 14.25 wb, the 33 is 14.5 wb.

Glad I got the 8.5 version, that shapes cool but not what I’m after. Although, I just asked my local to hold me a Pool man board and that ones similar, but 9” with a 13.875 WB. Going to be a good cruiser.

I had the Josh Wilson 8.25 x 32.375 x 14.375 WB, skated it with Venture 5.6 hollows and hated it. Switched them to Ace 44s and it was a total game changer. If they had an 8.25 with 14” WB, Venture 5.6 would be perfect

Howdy,
just held it in my hands today, a nice PS Stix Mexican made Pro Model “GILBERT CROCKETT - DREAM CYCLE”. 8.25, with 14.25 wb, it looked really pro to me, nice feel and by watching it from all sides, you realized the mellow-ness, the (I’d call it) almost flat blending from the truck holes to the edge of the nose and tail, where I couldn’t really recognize a difference in size though, so it’s equal to me.
Please, hit the link and check out the horizontal picture to have an idea about the shape.

I couldn’t take pictures of the deck, while the salesman was watching me :o
So instead I asked him to reserve one for me for pick up on Monday (wanted to finalize my research during the weekend first, fair enough…).
However, I’d say, take it, you might get used to it, and if not, maybe adjust your setup… and yourself, so why not!

the initial Dick Rizzo "Run" board was great, but I remember it feeling wider than 8.25. Still a fantastic shape

Board arrived yesterday. Matte/rough finish on the purple top ply. Terrible sanding job on the rails (super rough all the way around, but not a big deal) and tail; sanding on the tail (top edge of the rail) looks like someone fucked up, then decided to uncuck it by balancing it out. I'm sure once griped and skated it will be fine. Definitely sub par quality out of PS Stix.
Measurements:
Listed / Actual
8.125 / 8.06 (actually 8.125 over rear trucks, 8.06ish over the front trucks)
31.75 / 31.5
14.125WB
I was hoping it was actually 31.75, 31.5 is short for me.

Dude actually said 'REAlity' a few time during the latter part of the cast, wtf...then went back to crazy.

I’m pretty sure they’re pulling out of PS and moving to Generator on the next batch. Prob why the team is skating all the boards that say “Prototype” on them. PS quality has been super inconsistent for a minute
-
Guys, you’re right, once you hold the deck in your hands, you notice (I wouldn’t call it lack of quality) the (wo)man made manufacturing which makes each board not feel the same but an unique item with “personallity” and (of course that’s why) inconsistency.
I don’t think it’s an argument against to exclude Quasi from your list. Well, you can see however other issues… but shouldn’t be a big deal, right? What do you guys think about those holes?

You're not wrong in your feelings. I have Quasi/GX runs where the same two boards are almost completely different depending on their concave and width therein, etc. Annoying if you're looking for consistency, but not bad if your can appreciate the one-off-ness, which at times I do. Otherwise, hearing Quas moving to BBS... SHEESH! Literally just mentioned yearning for this earlier today. Glad I have a grip of PS to go back to, cause I'm sure I don't want one feel from now until I die.

Rumor most likely, especially on here.
I prefer DSM/NHS wood but their shapes aren't all that...sadly the square NHS 'wide-tip' shape didn't sell at all so it's discontinued.

Gilbert's been riding a prototype board and I think that's all the evidence there is to the woodshop switch rumor.

Prototype graphics always grabbed my attention, back in the day.
PS is always all over the place, and I wouldn’t recommend them for some. Xen being one (not a sneak diss at all, but if someone wants something accurate/consistent, ps is NOT the answer). I’m a broken record: best and worst boards have been ps. The good ones are really fucking good tho.
I personally do not dig dwindle/nhs, as they feel harsh/fake/overly stiff/chemical/dead, in comparison.
bbs used to be the best. I still like baker boards. I’ve never had a real board that I skated well. Loved Krooked, was my fave, now all their stuff is too long. Anti-Hero was always good, but I had a few during covid and they were very meh.
I like boards that are light, and lively. I do not care about breaking boards. Always taking recs.
I’ve bought too many quasi lately, just based off of ps and dimensions available at the shop. My last 3 have been….ok. But I’m still skating one from December and it’s the shit. Can’t call it.

You are right. PS' inconsistency is "killing" it positively AND negatively. It should not be your first take. However, if you're fine and you like to adapt, just get a Professor board and judge yourself. Is probably the best... Go practical! I recommend to go to the skateshop and watch the shapes PS brands offer.

I never lost pics of my stuff, just lazy.
Ps boards that I’ve bought lately/still skate: glue 8.5 (best board), quasi 8.125 short, strangelove from 2018 that I still skate, quasi pool skater face, and an 8.25 that has a 14.38 wb that I don’t really like, in that order of preference. I skate boards 8-8.5, usually.
Just, temporarily probably, passed thru some heavy madness and have my shit figured out: deck 8-825, shorter, 147s, classic 52s.
Annnnyways, ps will probably always be my favorite, but I get why some don’t like it. When it’s good, it’s so much better than anything I’ve found: lively, the best shapes that are subtle/flatter….
Want to try hlc at some point.
Pretty over bbs boards rn
-
Quasi moving to BBS is the best thing ever.
-
Is it confirmed they’re actually moving BBS? Since PS measures with concave I can see BBS quasi riding a bit bigger which may feel weird at first. I had a proto 8.25 with a ton of concave for some reason vs usual quasi boards, felt like an FA with stubbier tail and I loved it.
-
Not sure if the Prototype boards were BBS. I saw Chad Bowers posted on his instagram story a pic of one the boards with "14 WB" written on it so they were probably just trying out new shapes with the shorter wheelbase. Personally hope they still keep the 14.5" 8.5 shape though.

Terrible sanding job on the rails (super rough all the way around, but not a big deal) and tail; sanding on the tail (top edge of the rail) looks like someone fucked up, then decided to uncuck it by balancing it out. I'm sure once griped and skated it will be fine. Definitely sub par quality out of PS Stix.
Measurements:
Listed / Actual
8.125 / 8.06 (actually 8.125 over rear trucks, 8.06ish over the front trucks)
31.75 / 31.5
14.125WB
I was hoping it was actually 31.75, 31.5 is short for me.

After putting some hours on this deck, something feels off every time I ride the board backwards.
First thoughts were truck tightness (obviously) and/or kick steepness but after a quick swap of hangers and bushings (front to back) and at a different tightness it still felt off. Swapped to indy from thunder, exact same 'off' feeling riding it backwards...and it really doesn't feel like a truck tightness 'off' feeling because I kept adjusting them/swapping them with the same result.
Riding it normally it feels fine. It's not warped from what I can tell but it does feel like it dips in the middle as if it had a rocker to it...so the only thing I can think of is the board is drilled incorrectly, but if the mounting holes are off why does it feel fine when riding it normally?
I'm shelving it due to bad backwards vibes and the crappy visuals looking down at the wonky tail sanding job.

The last deck I had was the Justin Henry 8.25 and I just got the BDK reissue in the same shape. I loved the Henry, but the BDK feels soggy as fuck. 5 sessions in and everything else is the same but it’s got zero pop. Is this part of the PS inconsistency y’all are talking about?

anyone know if the new quasi drop tomorrow is gonna still be PS or they finally moving to BBS?
also, and i am going into gear head territory here, does anyone have any board recs for something that is essentially a quasi 8.5 that has a slightly bigger tail? I am trying to get a snazzy tailslide but the quasi 8.5 shape just has a tail that is a little too stubby for comfort. I love the squared offness of it though.

As much as I’ve loved PS over the years, Quasi switching to BBS would be a total game changer.
-
if they do end up switching my only hope is that theres no change to the shape at all. i love their 8.5
-
i did a bunch of searching last night on sites that already dropped them and it looks like they're still PSfir this drop at least
-
Looks like it’s still PS and they did away with the shorter 8.25 shape (32.125 X 8.25). :(
-

They still have 8.25 protos in the original 8.25 shape I believe. But the other 8.25 are longer with longer WB it appears
-
The next drop will be BBS and the original 8.25 shape will be there with a slightly longer tail. It felt real nice
-
Just dropping in to say that I'm loving skating both the 8.38 and 8.5 shapes with the 14.25 wheelbases. Kicks are perfectly mellow.
-

i hope this does not comes across as rude in any way and my apologies if it does, but can i ask your source on this? only asking because i'm willing to hold out on a new deck if this is true. any time frame on that next drop?

There are 3 8.25 shapes I’ve emailed them about this before:
1. 14.38 WB and a bit bigger tail.
2. Proto shape that tapers near the tail. This has a flatter nose and is often on the team decks.
3. Square 14.25 WB.

Have they changed to BBS woodshop yet? Wanna size down to 8.75 from 9 eventually but didnt like the PS wood feel.

Personally I like the shape of their 8.0s much better. They fit Thunders/Ventures way more. The 8.125 I'd have to run Aces/Indies on since there is like no flat between the kicks and bolts. Also I like a full kick but a square insanely short one gets kind of old after a while. Plus it's PS so it feels shorter than what it actually lists.
My favorite Quasi shapes are their 8.0 x 32.375s, 8.25 x 32.375s and 8.375 x 32.25s. I'd fuck with the 8.5 x 33 shape since it's similar (full bandaid style not FA no tail square kick shape) but it's a little bit too long for me.
I just got the 8.25 x 32.375 shape. The wb and width are accurate (8.25 and 32.375 ???), but the length is more like a 32, 31.95 ish and nowhere near actually 32.375
Did you put the length in the WB spot when typing? 32.23 is a long fucking wheelbase :P
That defiantly jibes with the other thread/comment about PSTIX measuring with a soft measuring tape accounting for the concave; truth be told the 'long' measurements have kept me off quasi (AW/Habitat) because I don't like long boards. But that also begs the question of if they're marked 'shorter' boards are, in fact, shorter than what they cite.
Makes me wonder if the FA measurements are done tip to tip even tho they are PStix.
Measured my Quasi Justin Henry 8.25 board and tip to tip it's 31.625. Honestly, I hate that they measure along the concave. Makes these decks seem so much longer than they actually are.
That said, This might be one of my favorite decks in recent memory with a square shape and medium concave. Paired with Ace classics (with 1/8" riders) it's my perfect set up. Now, I'm in wheel madness mode. Currently running 56mm Speedlab conical wheel but looking for something lighter and smaller. I'm between Spitfire tablets, OJ nomads, and Bones v2 Lock-ins. Any advice for me?

Came here to ask if the latest drop is BBS yet, but since no one answered you yet I'd sSuggest radial slims or maybe Loophole teardrops? Both lighter and slimmer, and both pretty easily available in 52-54 mm range.
So... Anyone know if the latest drop is BBS?
-
So... Anyone know if the latest drop is BBS?
Just got the Rizzo Sabbath from the latest drop and its PS Stix.
-
If they switch to BBS I’m never skating anything else
-
Pretty sure they’re not switching and it’s all hype.
-
They probably signed a contract of some sort with ps and get a better deal than they would with bbs.
-
I just wanted to say, I’ve been riding Quasi decks for a bit and this last reissue magiq 8.5 just didn’t feel right. Compared to all others I’ve ridden recently.
-
The second to last i bought felt a bit off at first then was fine, but my most recent from them is the best board I've had in a few years.
-
Got the new Quasi proto 2 and it said it was the same dimensions as my last deck, a Jake Johnson Time Chamber 8.5 x 32.25 x 14.25
The proto is 8.5 with a more aggressive taper to the real bolts, 14.125 wheelbase and under 32 in length
Kinda bummed it wasnt exactly the same as described but its working great for me. Kind of just wish I had that extra length

That was one of the few decks, I couldn't make anything work on. Tail felt way too short, overall length also felt too short and mine broke after 2 sessions. And I wasn't mad about it. But I am sure others could enjoy it.

Based on some IG posts looks like there's gonna be a new drop any moment...

Snapped it backseating a kickflip second session. Felt almost too easy to flip due to how short it is. Couldn’t get used to it and went back to standard 8.25 square proto shape right after.
-

I skated a bunch of the one with the red face graphic and really liked the shape. I have another waiting to be set up. I'm short tho so I appreciate the shorter board length. I skated the 8.0 Quasi boards for a long time but I've come to like the shorter length of the 8.125 shape.

this was my same sentiment. Was happy it broke so I could set up something a little steeper with a fuller tail

Is it just me or do some of their shapes, like the Proto, have a flatter nose?

Does anyone know about the sizes of the new release? Some of the 8.5 boards are listed at 33”. This seems kind of long, but maybe I’m crazy. Thanks!

They always run two different dimension 8.5 decks. Short one w/ around a 32" length and 14.25wb, and a longer one like you mentioned with a longer wheelbase.
-
Dane Barker’s board is manufactured by bbs so anyone who grabs one will have the first quasi boards pressed by them.

damn this is good to hear. would love an 8" , 14" wb quasi from BBS with square kicks and steep concave

are the shapes changing with the woodshop? ps boards usually taper towards the back trucks, havent seen bbs boards that have that feature

Haven't seen them in person yet but when they arrive I'll let you know.

I seem to recall seeing one that had around 15" wheelbase, which was probably the 33 long version.
At the time I thought it was a weird one, seeing as everything else was on the shorter side, but I guess someone liked it enough to keep it around.

No one told me how FLAT these goddamn boards are

The Quasi boards I have seen, stood on and skated have all felt at least medium but usually steeper than average.
Are you meaning the concave across the board, or the angle of the kicks or both?
Which board was it on too?

Maybe I’m just over analyzing it but…. Both? Idk. The last Quasi I skated was a couple years ago (right after the name change actually so there’s no way I can recall what that shape was like) but I went out and got Dane Barker’s pro deck because that had one in the dimensions I like (8.375 14.25 wb)

Did it have info on the top that you could see before it was gripped?
Just re reading above it might be BBS wood, or could still be PS Stix, both of which have very mellow molds, as well as very steep molds and lots in between.
Sorry I ask too many questions!
Not a worry either way though.
I haven't seen any of the new ones at all.

The new Dane Barker decks are BBS. Since PS Stix measures with concave and BBS measures straight across, someone should measure a PS Stix and BBS quasi side by side to see if the PS Stix measures slightly smaller straight across. I had a PS Stix 8.25 proto with decent concave last year and it was clearly smaller measured straight across than an FA 8.25 I also had.
Assuming shape is same would be interesting if an 8.25 BBS quasi feels slightly bigger due to woodshop measuring differences.

Quasi BBS 8.5 with a longer wheelbase would be amazing
Just a heads up that there are 8.5 Uma landsleds out in the wild that are 14.75 WB and I think 32.5" long. Maybe they'll make more because I loved the sizing, just not the lack of a large nose like Quasi. Currently just switched over to an 8.62 quasi that has the long WB and I'm digging it.

Their 8.62 is my new fave. 8.5 seem to bow out in the center a little more than I'd like. I do do 159's on it too.

Anybody pick up a Quasi hoodie from one of their recent drops? They say they use a new blank - Heavyweight 14oz Jersey Fleece with an Updated Athletic Fit. Does anybody know what brand and/or model they might be using now? I wanna pick one up, but I'm a little weary about "Athletic Fit".
I have a couple of their pullovers from older drops and those are printed on Independent Trading Co Heavyweight Hoodies (IND4000), but they're definitely using a new blank based on photos and that new description.
Some of their recent hoods:

Steeper than PS stix for sure. Seems similar to FA overall. The 8.25 is the wall board and seemed way too steep for me but the 8.38 seemed more manageable(size I normally skate). Not sure if that's where they were in the mold or just not being used to the smaller size.
Not sure how I feel about the move to BBS since I've grown to love PS stix boards again despite the quality control issues in the past. Last several PS stix Quasi boards have actually been really good to me.

8.25 says 32.125 but is actually 31.625 measuring straight across
8.38 says 32.25 but is actually 31.75
Both have the correct WB of 14.25
So the 8.38 is the same exact length and wb as the 8.38 PS stix Quasi I have.

Just got an 8.38 and 8.25 Dane pro model. They are BBS and the measure true to size with no visible taper. They measure 8.38 and 8.25 all the way nose to tail. The 8.38 PS Stix Quasi I have is 8.38 in the center but tapers off towards the ends. They seem like standard BBS shapes.
is it steep?
Steeper than PS stix for sure. Seems similar to FA overall. The 8.25 is the wall board and seemed way too steep for me but the 8.38 seemed more manageable(size I normally skate). Not sure if that's where they were in the mold or just not being used to the smaller size.
Not sure how I feel about the move to BBS since I've grown to love PS stix boards again despite the quality control issues in the past. Last several PS stix Quasi boards have actually been really good to me.
thanks dawg. gonna cop the 8.5 asap once it gets to canada

The new Dane Barker decks are BBS. Since PS Stix measures with concave and BBS measures straight across, someone should measure a PS Stix and BBS quasi side by side to see if the PS Stix measures slightly smaller straight across.

Do you know th measured length/wb please?
8.25 says 32.125 but is actually 31.625 measuring straight across
8.38 says 32.25 but is actually 31.75
Both have the correct WB of 14.25
So the 8.38 is the same exact length and wb as the 8.38 PS stix Quasi I have.
Spot on like is the bbs the same as ps stix? Nah, like i said earlier the PS stix has a slight taper on the 8.38 and the bbs is straight. BBS has steeper concave and steeper kicks. I think Quasi has two different 8.38 models that very slightly if I remember correctly so I'm just comparing to the one I got now. Overall measurements (ignoring the slight taper at the ends) seems to be about the same except that both sets of holes are drilled a 1/16 lower on the BBS than the PS Stix for some reason.
-
Really bummed if they will all be BBS from now on. Quasi have been pretty popular and easy to get around here but after this the only available PS Stix will be GX1000.
I liked the shape of FA except for the nose being way too steep but it also felt too stiff and hard to me which is why I prefer PSs
-
Also prefer ps, over bbs.
-
I was hoping to try out the Quasi BBS shape during the summer. PS decks go soft during the summer for me from grabbing the nose/tail with sweaty hands. Might need to grab the Dane board for “research purposes”
-
I don’t think they’re moving all to BBS but no idea how the logistics of that will work. Think the prototype boards Gilbert/henry have been skating on IG are just the BBS version of the PS proto shape. Like the graphic a lot on those so will be picking up an 8.25 once the BBS protos hit shops and will nerd out on WB/length vs PS as I have an unskated J Henry 8.25 PS to compare dimensions to.
-
Someone post a top pic of the Dane BBS if they can. Love to see how close the nose/tail shape is to the original PS Quasi's.

Ha yeah totally!
FA / Hockey must have the steepest boards (dedicated presses) in BBS and I don't think I have seen or stood on anything quite as steep, although quite a few come close.
Most normal BBS boards are about half that, PS Stix a little more mellow again, but can sometimes be steeper than others in the Quasi lineup I have had a stand on.
It is a different feel and concave, PS Stix having a flat face of kick after the upturn angle, compared to BBS which is much more spoon like overall, concave both across the kick and up from the upturn angle.

^Nice spot on description on the differences between the FA/quasi concaves. For FA/Hockey, I've been using mbrimson/woodshops' advice of parking my car's tire over deck's nose overnight. Has made a sugnificant difference. But I've been on a quasi spell for the last couple months so I'm sticking to their pstix formula for the time being.

Wknd also use ps stix. Not sure where you’re located but Snack is also ps stix and they use the same 8.5 square shaped board as quasi

Doesn't look as squarish as FA. Pretty rounded and similar to the PS Quasi.

How does the proto 2 skate? Was thinking of getting the 8.5, I read this whole thread and it seems some people say it’s really flat and others don’t. Never skated a quasi before. I’ve really never skated a square-ish tail before and I’m worried I’ll hate it but wanna try

Are you able to go into a shop to look at it and stand on it first?
That would be the main thing I would think of to help, but really they are a pretty standard size and shape, going by the pics and info from places I looked up. Seems pretty nomal PS Stix type of board, so if you have had a PS Stix in the last five years, it would be pretty much the same as that, most common other brands being WKND, GX1000 and older Plan B boards.
Woodshop thread here, if you hadn't checked the full list:
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=120409.0
These were the dimensions on that listing too:
• Width 8.5”
• Length 31.75”
• Wheelbase 14.25”
• Concave Medium

I’ve skated 3 8.25 protos and I found them flatter than normal Quasis. That shape tapered slightly to 8” at the rear and has a pretty short tail.

I feel like PS Stix in general has the slightly more mellow, tapered shape and short tails, but I know some of the PS Stix boards I have had a skate or stand on were the opposite, but that is only a few and most were the usual shapes and feels as noted.
Did you have any bigger than 8.25 though?
At least if you have had a few of any size, you would know so it is good that you are able to assist with info. :)
-
In case it hadn't been mentioned earlier, PS Stix is often measured with the concave, so when their official listing shows it as 32.25 long it is actually more like 31.75 long.
That is why the listing I put up above had those dimensions, rather than the listings on Skate Warehouse or similar sites that just go by what they are given on the spec sheet.
At least you can see top, bottom and side views here too:

Been skating it for 2 months now and I also had the Jake Johnson 8.5 just before this deck
Proto 2 is a flatter shape with a fuller tail it seems. I prefer the nose on the regular Quasi 8.5 and the tail on the Proto 2 8.5. The Proto 2 has less of a taper down the deck which I prefer. The measurements are the same but Proto 2 is slightly shorter in length and wheelbase

Hold up... Quasi switched to BBS? This makes me want to try 'em again. Love the graphics, have found the shapes to be slightly odd, but more importantly have found them to get soggy faster than a BBS stick

Not for all graphics right now only the Dane Barker and in March they will do a few more BBS decks

Re PS Stix to BBS
Definitely check the tops first, as there will probably be some period of change over and if anyone is still sitting on or holding old stock, I am thinking things are going to get a bit confusing for a while.
Easiest way to see is that PS Stix always has the serial number on top between the front bolts, whereas BBS does not, regardless of the other laser imaging or text.

Does anyone know if the Acid Ply decks have the same shape as the Proto decks?
Tactics.com categorizes the Proto decks as "Shaped Decks", and Acid Ply as "Popsicle". Could easily just be some bad database stuff, but just want to make sure.
I want to get the 8.375 Acid Ply deck but not if its a standard popsicle shape.

I thought they were all about the same standard popsicle shape really, given PS Stix do have more of a blunt kick to them, but from looking up pics of the Proto and the Acid Ply, they appear to be the same shapes for the same size decks.
They are the same dimensions listed, but PS Stix boards are always shorter.
Does this one appeal to your taste for a shaped board?

I think I really dig the nose shape, and possibly the tail shape too? However, the thing that is letting me down is the way mellow concave in the middle of the board.
I'm starting to lean towards grabbing a Hopps board, but not sure yet. Seems to be a bit mellow in the middle too, but I really like the dip between the bolts and the ends. I stood on both at the skate shop, and I was intrigued by both.

Between BBS concave, which is a mix of mellow to medium concave and is a lot more spoon like in the kicks, compared to PS Stix, which is often more mellow all round, but fairly flat faced kicks, different people find different things work for them.
Even between two boards from the same brand, same size, etc, one could be from the top of the press which is steeper and one could be from the bottom of the press which is more mellow as well.
Definitely helps going in to a shop and being able to stand on boards though, which is what I always recommended with anyone in any shop I have worked in or been in.

For what it's worth, last year I skated the Quasi PLY 8.62, Snack 8.62, AH 8.62, and Alltimers 8.6
Quasi was mellow. Snack was more square than the quasi with longer wb and kinda mellow. AH was the thickest/stiffest. Alltimers was the most tapered. All skated great; the Quasi/Snack thinner and more bendy/springy; the AH/Alltimers more stiff/snappy.

That definitely sounds true to what I have heard and seen too.
I guess that is also why some people prefer PS Stix and some prefer BBS or other woodshops.
Just a curious thing if they are changing everything to BBS in future runs though.

I’ve had one session on my new Bledsoe 8.5. I wanted to try the longer wheelbase 8.5 after skating the JJ 8.5 and the Proto 2 8.5, both which had 14.25 (or slightly shorter) wheelbases
The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that my previous 2 Quasi 8.5s were tapered from nose to tail, with 8.5 on the nose and 8.38 at the tail. This new one is also about an inch longer and with symmetrical nose and tail lengths (not steepness)
This new 8.5 is 8.38 at both nose and tail and 8.5 in the middle, with a slight football shape going on
Anyone else ever get the 8.5x33x14.5?

Haha, you nailed it - everyone’s rality is different. I just think that BBS is so ubiquitous at this point, it’s just nice to have a top brand that is sticking with PS (and yes, I’m a big PS fan - thinner plys, mellow concave, and color ply top/middle/bottom ie the proper way ;D). Of course BBS is a great product with mass production, that’s why they’ve taken over the market, including shop boards/blanks. And that’s also why I like PS and I’m so glad quasi is sticking with them. Quasi is the last of the AWS brands (Alien/Habitat, FA/Hockey) to stay with PS, and that’s a bit of history that I hope doesn’t go away anytime soon. Just set up a 8.75 quasi for fun, with 5.8 standards and 54s - and it’s kinda magic, loving it.

I like the current wood at Crailtap but they would be the perfect brand for PS Stix. Mellow shapes and light.

Wow the 8.125 dimensions sound amazing! May need to cop if I see one in person, but I probably wouldn't skate it like a twin tail lol

The new drop has an 8.25 Gilbert Crockett shape that’s 31.8 with 14 wb. New shape?

I don’t know but it’s pressed by BBS, I love the graphic and the dimensions. I think I found my next board.

Looks like there is a mix of ps stix and bbs… interesting.

The primitive 8.25 has almost the same dimensions. Having 31.875 length instead…

I’ve been told it’s the same shape as the Primitive shape and all the newer BBS shapes are.
The PS twin tail dimensions look interesting does any other company have those?

I think this one? The specs sound really good. And it doesn't look as square as other Quasi decks I saw.
What's the tail and nose length like?

I've been googling like crazy trying to find a top view of this shape. Anybody?

Go to the Primitive site it’s the same shape.

The primitive 8.25 is one of the best.

Can someone confirm if the crockett BBS deck is same exact dims/woodshop as a primitive 8.25? Currently riding the new Crockett deck on 5.6 cast ventures and it’s godly. Looking for confirmation of any other brand that uses BBS and this exact same shape.

Really wanting to try this shape out on 5.6 v hollows. Think it will help me learn flatground better. I believe April does the same shape as well

I just went on their site after reading your comment and I not only agree with that but think it’s so epic that they’re offering what veneer color you want on items that it matters on like: https://upriseskateshop.com/products/proto-deck-8-25
I personally hate Color veneers so getting to choose the black is beyond what any other shop is doing! Big respect to them and if I was in the US they would be taking all my money. More shops need to follow suit.

Don't forget SPoT for sorting by dimensions ;)
https://skateparkoftampa.com/spot/cz.aspx?ID=1
I routinely start at SPoT for dims (say 8.3x14.3x), then check Slam/SkateDLX/Uprise for shape, THEN SW or SoCal for dimension confirmation, which oddly enough, are usually identically incorrect lol.

Sometimes I wonder how many places actually measure their products in store, or just list from a spec sheet they are provided, but even when someone measures a board, they can still enter it in the system or listing incorrectly - one I saw recently had tail as 6.25 when it was 6.625 from other places for the same board.
The joys of being human and making mistakes.
At least to check multiple sources, you can usually get a better idea with what it actually is. Usually.

I just happened to pick the Mariano model, all April 8.3s are either31.12 or 32 from site to site.
-
From the April site:
31.12" x 8.38"
Nose - 6.857"
Tail - 6.617"
WB - 14.395"
So then we add in 4.25 for the trucks and we get 32.119. Case closed. Oh and this is the generic BBS 8.38 measurements.
-
Ha yeah, so they forgot the 2 in 32 it looks?
32.12 is about normal for a board with 14.3 to 14.4 wb and "reasonable" kicks.
Either way it is a bit funny, as I thought that some of those boards were shorter, but if that one has that wheelbase, it is definitely longer.

Adding this here, Quasi normal 8.25 on BBS:

I know this thread doesn't consider 8.25" to be wide, but what are my options for a BBS deck with an 8.25" width and a 14" wheelbase? Preferably something close to the dimensions of a WKND CT deck, only not made by PS.
April, primitive, and now quasi have the same bbs 8.25 with a 14 wb. Never skated it myself but only heard great things. Way too small for this thread though, be gone
They asked for BBS decks. While Quasi fits the sizing requirments, they are PS Stix.
https://quasiskateboards.com/collections/decks/products/crockett-cowboy8-25
They are still using PS Stix, but have started using BBS for some boards.

Anyone ever skate the 8.25 shape with the 14.38 and Ave any comments any which way?

I like PS boards. I’ve had that shape, and was into it. PS boards are smaller than BBS boards, per listed size, as the two companies measure differently. PS boards tend to taper towards the tail. I like/am used to those differences. I find stix decks to be flexy/whippy and I like that.
-

I think the one I have had those listed dims. Despite that, the wheelbase on mine actually measures 14.25, and it measures right around 32 with the tape pulled flat. Long, steep nose and a short, mellow tail with little to no spoon. Kicks are pretty classic, a little bit blunt, not really full or pointy. Concave through the middle is pretty chill, too.
It’s one of my favorite rides for more technical skating. That’s rare for me these days, but I’ve been riding it with 5.6 V-Hollows (new stock Indy bushings in black give them a quicker, deeper turn that I like) and 54mm radial slims.

Does anyone know if the Acid Ply decks have the same shape as the Proto decks?
Tactics.com categorizes the Proto decks as "Shaped Decks", and Acid Ply as "Popsicle". Could easily just be some bad database stuff, but just want to make sure.
I want to get the 8.375 Acid Ply deck but not if its a standard popsicle shape.
I thought they were all about the same standard popsicle shape really, given PS Stix do have more of a blunt kick to them, but from looking up pics of the Proto and the Acid Ply, they appear to be the same shapes for the same size decks.
They are the same dimensions listed, but PS Stix boards are always shorter.
Does this one appeal to your taste for a shaped board?

Does it taper like the proto or does it stay 8.25 through the rails?

I'm becoming a Quasi believer. I had Bobby's first pro model and really liked the wood, dims, kicks, and concave. The tail is mellow, which has become more comfortable for me. I've found that exerting more energy/pop on a steeper concave is labourious, and not worth the effort - I can ollie comfortably on a Quasi's mellow tail.
Just bought a proto 8.25 by 31.75 by 14.25. I usually skate boards that are a bit smaller, but the Bobby model had the same dims and I enjoyed it. Once I'm ready to skate the proto, I'll post it in the set-up thread.

I’m skating the 8.5 proto at the moment and really enjoying it.
Took me ages to try Quasi due to the amount of people saying PS Stix boards turn soggy after a couple of sessions, but I’ve yet to experience that myself.
Agree on the mellow tail too, makes popping much easier for me.

I'm becoming a Quasi believer. I had Bobby's first pro model and really liked the wood, dims, kicks, and concave. The tail is mellow, which has become more comfortable for me. I've found that exerting more energy/pop on a steeper concave is labourious, and not worth the effort - I can ollie comfortably on a Quasi's mellow tail.
Just bought a proto 8.25 by 31.75 by 14.25. I usually skate boards that are a bit smaller, but the Bobby model had the same dims and I enjoyed it. Once I'm ready to skate the proto, I'll post it in the set-up thread.
Is there a difference between the proto 8.25 and the 8.25 shape with a 14.25 wb?
Hmm, I'm not sure myself...
Proto is the square'd off shape, the other is not.
I’d be a-ok riding nothing but proto’s moving forward. Great shape.
It's easily one of my favorite shapes.

How? Damn this things make me so confuse, on quasi site sais that:
Proto [8.25"]

It is confusing yeah. BBS measuring is like with a flat ruler straight across over a deck. PS Stix measures with the concave and kicks, that's why it is always longer. Although it isn't really longer, it's just measured different.
Hope that makes sense.

Anyone skate the 8.5 bbs board yet? Is it the same/really similar to the ps 8.5 square shape?

Didn’t even realize they had a bbs 8.5. I’m also curious what the shape is like

I've got one. It's got a fuller nose and tail than the PS Stix 8.5. I like it better than it's PS counterpart, but I'd love to see a BBS version of the 33" shape (14.5 wb). The kicks are a little steeper, but it's a really good feeling board.

Green is PS and Yellow is BBS. Taken from skatewarehouse site between 2 quasi 8.5 x 32.125 with 14.25wb. The BBS one is the bunny crockett graphic according to the quasi site.
I hate PS stix so I'm very curious.

No 8.5 at BBS tho... Hopefully they will switch this too
I bought a PS quasi in 8.5 and couldn't skate it, felt like the kick on the tail was going straight up from the hardware, impossible to get my backfoot comfy on there to make transition grinds.
What a shame cause I really wanna skate BDK boards

That sounds like another board that someone I know just could not skate for similar reasons.
When I tried the "six hole" truck option to feel out the board if the deck bolt holes were in 3/8" it made it way more skateable so we redrilled it and old mate had a great time on it until he retired it.
Not to say drilling it in 3/8" would fix everything on a board like that, but it is not the first time I have done that to make a board work for myself or others. It doesn't weaken the board at all, but it does shorten the wheelbase, which some people might have more of an issue with than a crazy steep tail with no fingers of flat.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea actually, could have done that but coming from hockey boards, the nose seemed already smaller than the tail to me and making the tail even bigger would have made it feel even crazier I guess.
But shortening the WB would have been fine tho, I guess it was 14.38 and I prefer 14.25.
Wanted to try the PROTO with 14.25 WB but I'm afraid to just get another weird ass tail again...

Only some are BBS and in a few sizes they have a couple PS shapes. Unfortunately it's hard to know without seeing. There is an 8.38 that is listed as 32.125 I like- it's less steep and less square in the nose. But I don't care for the 8.38 that is 32.25 as it has the massive shovel nose and is steeper.
Otherwise I agree with your point. I'd like to support them but there is only 1, maybe 2 shapes I would still ride. I don't like their BBS shapes at all and tier 8.5's feel massive.

PS …if he’d just get his shit together. The shapes are so much better. The bbs is gigantic, and way too dramatic. Similar to the fa to bbs switch. Shit was unskateable for me. So steep. Noses that made me angry looking down at them. Quasi shapes made by crail/dsm/pgi would be preferred

Does palace do resin 7 and shit? How are the shapes? Crail has pretty good shapes, unfortunately they are a little steeper than they used to be. Last longer, but cooler when they were flatter.
Crail used to do pgi? I think? And they definitely had the one board being amazing/next board being totally fucked thing that PS does so well.

So, just received this Rizzo deck ! Didn't set it up yet but I compared it to an Hockey board I had laying around.
The tail seems basically identical, but the nose is a tiny bit shorter, still blunt but it has a cool taper to it which make it look less like a snow shovel than the hockey one. Also the nose is less steep, which is probably good.
Will give an update after skating it. But compared to the PS one I had it looks way better qualitywise.
-
If anyone wants the new Bledsoe 8.375 for cheap I'll sell mine brand new. It's BBS but the nose is really steep- like FA steep but not squared. My toddler was having a meltdown at the shop so I didn't get to compare it to other decks I know and realize this before buying.
-
I love the 32.125 X 8.25 shape and noticed that they usually only do 1 pro graphic and one Proto graphic per drop in that shape.
Wondering if this shape is solely PS Stix or if they started making it in BBS too.
-
Just a quick check-in: most people, somewhat understandably, hate ps stix, yeah?
I don’t, but I acknowledge the qc is inna difrent rallity.
Here is my main concern with the switch to bbs, for some of these brands: ps makes, in my opinion, the best shapes. The execution leaves something to be desired, but the shapes look, and feel, great to me. When FA went to bbs the it was… ham handed feeling on the shapes. The bbs steep concave and kicks, with the already bold shape, was just too wonky for me. I’m struggling looking for an analogy, but something was just horribly distorted in the translation. Imo.
Take it all with a huge grain of salt, I haven’t stood on any of the bbs quasi, and I’m not a big fan of the bbs bend/swoop/concave.
I feel like what most people REALLY like about bbs is that it lasts for a long time. To me this ends up being a nightmare: a long lasting, fucked board. If I could get a flat one, I’d be into it. I’m already such a kook I don’t want to rifle thru the stack anymore than I’ve already done, when I’m in a shop, looking for a flatter one. I mean…it’s been a long time since I passed the eye test of skate competency, and being this discerning, for what the results obviously will not bear out, is just to much for me to bare, in public.
I really gotta keep/quit using slap like therapy.

The bbs steep concave and kicks, with the already bold shape, was just too wonky for me. I’m struggling looking for an analogy, but something was just horribly distorted in the translation. Imo.
Take it all with a huge grain of salt, I haven’t stood on any of the bbs quasi, and I’m not a big fan of the bbs bend/swoop/concave.
I feel like what most people REALLY like about bbs is that it lasts for a long time. To me this ends up being a nightmare: a long lasting, fucked board. If I could get a flat one, I’d be into it. I’m already such a kook I don’t want to rifle thru the stack anymore than I’ve already done, when I’m in a shop, looking for a flatter one. I mean…it’s been a long time since I passed the eye test of skate competency, and being this discerning, for what the results obviously will not bear out, is just to much for me to bare, in public.
I really gotta keep/quit using slap like therapy.
The new 8.5 Rizzo deck I just got yesterday is considerably flat and mellow and even has the rocker concave thing that they were talking about in Ben's ps stixx factory tour video.

I love the 32.125 X 8.25 shape and noticed that they usually only do 1 pro graphic and one Proto graphic per drop in that shape.
Wondering if this shape is solely PS Stix or if they started making it in BBS too.
The Jake Johnson board in this current drop:

If anyone wants the new Bledsoe 8.375 for cheap I'll sell mine brand new. It's BBS but the nose is really steep- like FA steep but not squared. My toddler was having a meltdown at the shop so I didn't get to compare it to other decks I know and realize this before buying.
I'm interested yo. If you still have it.

Hit my DM's, I'm gone next week then back and can ship

The nose is steep. Pretty much a shovel nose. Almost like a Hockey or Alien nose.
-
Nah, my friend had that one and it was not steep. Almost as mellow as the Proto. Tail is 6.55 and nose is a tad under 7. I love that shape.
The 8.25 that has a length of 32.2 that was a BDK deck in that drop has the square/steep nose.
I wish they would just use a shape code.

I’ve stocked up on this shape in just about every Quasi drop since 2015. Relative to Crail boards which I rode almost exclusively from the 90’s through then, this shape has a Shock G Humpty Hump sized schnazz.
-
Sounds like a good shape. Thanks.
-
Which is more mellow? The 8.25 x 32.125 or the 8.25 x 32.375?
-
The 8.375 32.125 is mellow, but it's confusing now since the BBS shapes seem to be steeper
-
Skating an old 8.125 quasi. Short tail. Flat. Love it.

anyone skate the 8.75 model? i was almost exclusively skating the 8.5 proto II for a bit but i want to size up all around here. can i expect similar shape, with the bigger more square nose?

I had one that had sort of an egg shape, but not quite - it was nice but I never really connected with it. Most of the acid ply boards have a fuller shape and I think there's an 8.625 in this drop.
-
Is acid ply actual different shapes or just new/different graphics?
-
You have to look at each deck. Some of the BBS shapes are new and seem to be steeper versions of Limo shapes
-
So other than the length and wb of their two 8.25 decks, is there a difference in the shape/steepness?

Do other quasi decks have the same shape as the 8.25 proto too? Or is it exclusive to the proto?
-
Lots of the Quasi team decks are the 8.25 Proto. Email them and ask they are super responsive and helpful about how to identify which decks are which specific shape. I like the mellow 8.38 and Proto so I email when there's a drop I like.

In an effort to curb my madness and skate the gear I have, I set up an old 8.125 PS Quasi I thought I'd given up on. Coming from a super stiff Palace, it felt completely limp the first couple times I tried it. I was so bummed because the shape and dimensions seemed perfect at the shop.
I love this thing after today's session. It felt snappy and had that nice whip that I look for in a deck. I hope Quasi keeps this shape at PS because I will buy them if I see them. It's flat, short, with a mellow tail, blunt kicks, and under 14.25 WB. Lovely. It's listed as 8.125 x 31.75 x 14.125 but definitely more like 31.5 long if you measure normally.

ahha can relate to this all so much. They always seem to get better after sitting for a little bit. Maybe i will dust off those acid ply decks from the stack
cheers!

How many different shapes do quasi make? Iv got a JJ board right that doesn't have the sqaure kicks they normally have (loving the shape) also had the world wide graphic that had a different shape to. I'm aware they make egg shape boards to but it made me curious what their other shapes are like
-
I have the 8.38 twin tail which is slightly tapered / not square at all.
-
From my recollection:
8.25:
1. Proto shape
2. square shape with 14.25 WB
3. less square shape with 14.38 WB
4. Twin Tail
5. 14" WB shape
8.38:
1. 32.125 shape, which is square
2. 32.2 shape, which is not square, more mellow, slightly longer tail, great shape love this one.
3. Twin Tail
8.5:
1. 14.25 WB shape 32.25 listed length
2. 14.5 WB shape, 33 listed length, super square
Can't recall anything else but I know they have 8, 8.125 with tiny tail, some new twin tails, 8.6, 8.75, 9, football

How is the concave?
Skating a g027 right now and I think it’s pretty flat, right? I like alien and fa concave. How is quasi?
Also do other quasi decks have proto shape too? 8.25

I think any "normal size" truck is going to have a bit of axle sticking out, especially at the back, but people have skated it with 149s and 159s from looking up setups and the like, as well as Stage 4 151s, Venture 6.1 and others.

This one has the exact measurements, so worth a post:
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526625815794941952/907306710509707304/20211108_173138.jpg)
Copped the Quasi egg. Here's the detailed measurements for the culture
WIDTH: 9"
LENGTH: 31.75"
WB: 13.75"
WIDTH (FRONT TRUCK): 8.625"
WIDTH (BACK TRUCK): 8.5"
LENGTH (NOSE): 7.25"
LENGTH (TAIL): 6.875"
For my brother, off, the concave is steep, and it's got the mellowest tail and steepest nose that I've seen. Tail kinda seems like a craig board, but the nose is steeper than the hockey I'm riding right now. I think my fat ass just flattened that a little bit though.

Definitely 159s. I'd imagine even 149s would work. With a lot of football shaped boards, the taper over the trucks is about 1/4-1/2" from the widest point. I have a 9" Heroin egg that's around 8.625" over the trucks and I run 159s. My 9.4" Heroin egg is 9" over the trucks and I run 169s.

Saw a lot of the new Quasi drop in person today. Nothing notable. Still using both BBS and PS. One minor detail to report is that the team boards are now BBS. They have always been PS. I’ve gotten the 8.75 every drop over the last couple years and it’s always been PS. Will be interesting to ride the BBS version and compare!

There use to seem like a pattern of Henry boards, and Barkers being BBS but this drop is all over the place. If you see a graphic you like, your best bet is to hit the website before copping

Looks like most park models except Josh Wilson’s are still PS. The “Quasi” graphic team boards are BBS, Protos are PS.

First measurement is the BBS Quasi 8.75 and the second is the same model but the PS version from the last drop. The BBS board kicks are definitely steeper, but my sample size is too small to make any claims. Honestly both feel about the same, but I just hit some curbs and a DIY.

quasi….so i can be, to myself, because i don’t discuss matter of skate in person with anyone, ‘man quasi kinda does the same ish graphics i’m probably going to get tired of it’. and then the new ones come out and i’m like ‘yeah those are nice, i’ll take one of those please’. the few times i go into a shop i always gravitate towards their stuff.

I think to trick to quasi graphics is that they aren't fully chasing trends as hard as a lot of brands, I think its the "samey" graphics that give them a distinct enough style without drastically changing image to pander to what's cool. From working at a local shop for the past few years quasi is probably one of the most consistently selling "cool" brands next to polar etc.

the early polar stuff was so nice, current polar does nothing for me, but i’ll admit i haven’t been looking.
it’s true, there needs to be some type of cohesion/brand identity, tight rope balancing act between that and self parody.

I have had 2 BBS Quasi and they felt noticeably steeper than the PS especially in the nose. Was not a fan whatsoever, but I have historically always enjoyed the 8.375 shape.

BBS 8.75 is definitely steeper than the PS 8.75. I posted some measurements of the two above. Doesn’t bother me that much, but I’m not doing a ton of flat ground tricks.

I set up this JJ deck a few days ago. Really enjoying it. It's their 8.25 x 14.25 x 32.125 shape. I've had it once before and liked it. No complaints so far. Came with the BBS holographic sticker.
-
just chiming to say that the ps shapes are great for me, and the bbs shapes are too much. so much too much that i won’t even try them. i went down that road when fa switched to bbs and i just couldn’t. rad for those that can make it work.
and just because i can’t stop repeating myself: EVERYTIME i go into a shop, if there is a ps quasi that is almost my size, i’m definitely struggling to not get it. i’ll go in for something else, specifically, and walk out with a quasi.
probably a sign of doom for quasi, i’m not cool.

That’s one of the boards Quasi getting pressed through BBS so likely steepish. The PS pressed boards tend to be the more mellow ones, though they’re on the steeper side as well, in my opinion..

I usually check Skate Warehouse and Tactics for most board shapes, pics, etc and it came through with this one easily enough.
Is it just me or those kicks are so fully squared off, even more so than FA / Hockey boards?

Just got the 8.25 x 32.125 x 14.25 to replace my 8.25 x 32.375 x 14.38. So I was measuring this new deck, an d it tapers to 8 at the rear truck, and it is really like 8.18 at the widest. My current 8.25, the one with the 14.375 wb is straight rail the entire length. Is this taper normal for the 8.25 x 32.125 x 14.25?

i’ve had some significant taper. someone else should hop in and correct me, but sounds like you get the smaller proto shape.
the length is going to be the biggest hurdle imo.
i like those shapes, specifically for the shorter length
-
Yeah, the PS Stix 8.25 14.25 shape has a pretty significant taper to it. It's especially noticeable after coming back from the BBS 8..25 14.25 one which definitely is a fuller shape. Those BBS 8.25/14.25 ones are pure gold. I snatch them up whenever I find one.

It seems the PS versions overall have more taper than the BBS versions. I have both 8.75 versions and the PS definitely tapers a bit more. Not a huge amount but it’s noticeable when they’re side by side.

Thanks for the replys. Just wanted to make sure that was how it should be. Not sure how I feel about it, but I guess we will see what happens.

It’s the 8.375” with 14.25” except the length is 31.75” instead of 32.25”
The Money Dog graphic is not a twin tail. The, 8.375” “lowercase” graphic from the latest drop is a twin, though.

Mellow all round. Tapers slightly to the nose too, so the tail is generous in width. Can’t recall the length but it definitely feels like a bigger board than their 8.75.
-
i haven’t, but if it’s ps stix, it’s really more like 32.5” long. or. another way: ps measures their boards including the concave and kick lengths (tape pressed to the board). so their boards can be listed at 32.25”
long, but measure 31.75” ish, tip to tip (tape not pressed).
i hope i’ve said this in an understandable way. unlikely

So with a 14.75 wheelbase it's likely to have shorter nose and tail if this is the case right?
-
that’s my guess
tactics socal and maybe some other shops
list those dimensions

Still eyeing the 8.75. Are there two different 8.75s floating around out there?

The 8.75 dims are the same, but there have been PS and BBS versions. The PS version tends to have a slight taper at the back trucks and the BBS version tends have slightly steeper kicks. These are my experiences.

Do you remember how much flat there was between the bolts and when the tail starts to kick up? The 8.5 almost ik currently on literally has not flat and I hate it.

It was a while ago I skated it but I remember it feeling very flat with little concave and mellow comfortable kicks.

Anyone had any experience with the 8.125 shape? I’m looking step things up size wise from an 8. I’ve never seen anyone skating that shape in the wild.
The tail looks really short, which I usually prefer. But it almost looks too short.

I had that deck and gave it to my girl as a cruiser setup. Tail felt insanely short to me on Indys, first Ollie I tried, my back foot left the board while popping and I almost did the splits. Overall length felt a bit shorter as the Crail G026 which is 31.6

The tail on the Quasi 8.125 is like 6.3 it's oddly short.

The board I’m skating right now has a tail measuring to about 6.4. I also like baker 8.0’s which have a short tail. So, maybe I’ll like this shape. I have V-lites I want to setup when my current trucks are done. It seems like people on here say that ventures with short tails = ghost pop from hell.

I skated a lot of those boards. I stopped buying them because of the short tail.
-
short tails, with ventures, for me, are good for my pop.
folks have absolutely gone in on wheelbase ‘science’, but much less has been talked about with noses and tails, as far as i know.
the short tail feels like home/baseline, to me. until i try and ollie going fast with bigger wheels, then stuff gets a little way too rowdy.
-
Wish the quasi 8.125 was like 31.6-31.8 length with longer tail and nose. Would be my perfect shape.
Has anyone here who has had the 8.125 had a newer BBS one or just the old PS 8.125? Curious if the newer 8.125 are just steeper kicks and same dimensions. That would be a bummer.
Hell they need to make the 8.125 at least 31.5, 31.3 is just crazy short with that baby tail as mentioned

respectfully, there are options with the dimensions you seek.
what makes that particular board interesting to me, is firstly the overall length. it’s a feature.
crail has some options on the 31.5 ish range.
there was a nyjah shape that people responded well too, might be a good place to look. i think it’s close to what you are looking for

you probably have to get used to the shape. I also was having issues for quite some time (still do to be honest). Its a mix of different length, wheelbase, etc. The timing of everything is quite different from a crail board

It seems all the Proto boards are PS Stix, according to their own site, which lists where the boards come from.
https://quasiskateboards.com/search?type=product&q=proto
As far as different woodshops, yes going from Crail to PS Stix, or even coming from BBS (Alien Workshop) or other woodshops, can more often than not be quite frustrating for some people. Some guys I skate with seem to get along with any and every board they ride, more often than not saying they just take a little while to get used to the different shape or whatever, but I am more the type of person that finds something that works and sticks to it, so riding something different is just going to be a pain and I don't want to get used to different boards when I know I was on something that works.
That said, it is up to you whether or not you want to try to get used to it, ease into it more so than go crazy that things are not working as you used to do on other boards, or just be done with it and move on.
The fingers of flat and the different kick length, angle, shape of the concave and all that really do play a lot more into what you are experiencing than anything else, but as someone else said, try putting your back foot more in the pocket, down closer to the bolts to pop, rather than on the end of the kick and you might be surprised that once you get more used to the board, then you can start moving your back foot further back up the board as usual. I had tried this on a couple of weird feeling boards and hot damn it worked, so it is worth a try.

I'm skating a BBS made quasi with forged hollow Indy's and it feels amazing. I have skated quasi with venture and never really felt like it was a struggle. Definitely made the board feel heavier in comparison tho. Just keep skating it and play around with different foot placements and you will get used to it.

I will. I mean with pizza and alien decks it worked great. Maybe I will get used to it.

Chose to gift a twice sessioned 8.75” to a youngster as the kicks were way too crazy for my old ass.
Love the top view down of the shape, as well as the dimensions and concave between the bolts and the overall stiffness of the BBS wood; but goddamn the steep kicks.
No patience in my limited skate time to adjust to this bloard as much as I’d like to.

How are Proto 2 8.25‘s shapes compared to FA and Pizza?
Not sure if you saw the answer to the previous post you made in the square kicks thread.
Either way, I will add it here too.
As to adding Pizza boards in the mix, you would have to check what woodshop(s) Pizza is using now, as they seemed to be a bit all over the place last I checked.
The boards on Tactics are PS Stix, with info added at the bottom.
What’s the difference in shape between an 8.25 FA and a 8.25 quasi proto ?
I don't seem to have easy access right this minute, but the FA 8.25 board I have seems to be straight through the rail, whereas the Quasi boards I have seen before always seem to have significant taper from front to back, which is fairly common in some brands / woodshops / shapes.
FA being BBS steepish and squared kicks, Quasi being PS Stix so big steep nose and smaller not so steep tail.

FA boards have a shorter wheelbase, so longer kicks for almost the same overall length, with steeper kicks.
There are pics on both those links too, so it is easy enough to check those, but here are the side by side comparison pics anyway.

Thx! No, I didn’t see this before :)
Ok, so mostly the tail is more flat, yeah?
But pizza (ps) tail steepness is about the same I guess? Cause I loved the ps pizza decks

i was pretty much exclusively skating Quasi decks from 2019 until last year. do they still have the big nose on them now? i was eyeing the 8.5 justin henry deck. i like that its listed with a 33 length, anyone know if thats accurate?

I'm going to guess it's unlikely it's 33" when measured the conventional way. If it's a PS board, the length will be listed as measured along the surface of the board from nose to tail

PS measures length flat across the concave, most other wood shops measure it in the air from tip to tip. The 33” PS board is probably more like 32.5” in BBS measurement.

The fine people at Quasi have always been amazing about answering my questions about their shapes and today sent me over this list of the different 8.25 and 8.5 shapes available.
They didn't say what woodshop they use for each shape, or if the same shape goes to both BBS and PS. My guess is that 8.25A, 8.25B and 8.5B are PS. And maybe 8.25C and 8.5A are BBS?
8.25A – 8.25” x 32.125” WB 14.25” (Shovel Nose)
8.25B – 8.25” x 32.375” WB 14.375” (Traditional Popsicle)
8.25C – 8.25” x 31.8” WB 14” (Shovel Nose)
8.5A – 8.5” x 32.125” WB 14.25” (Shovel Nose)
8.5B – 8.5” x 33” WB 14.5” (Traditional Popsicle)
Edited for clarity.

I can always appreciate when any brand lists full dimensions, as well as which woodshop in each listing too.
The only thing they don't have on those listings is the text after each dimension listing - traditional popsicle / shovel nose - but that is nothing I would be worried about really.
Good info if people do prefer a more squared off / full shape, compared to a rounded popsicle shape.
Thanks for posting!

No problem! Also, thanks for the advice this past weekend on flattening the board.
And I do love that Quasi lists the wood shop for each deck. I was just making guesses because there were a couple PS and BBS that seemingly had the same dimensions. I was browsing in between meetings though so I might have misread.
-
I'd love if that included 8.1 and 8.3 shapes. I had one 8.3 that had a normal nose and it as great then got one on sale and it was square and steep and I hated it
-
i’ve been skating gx 8.25 shovel nose, and i think it’s bbs? dunno. same dimensions. was told bbs, but i really like it, so would not surprise me if it was ps, as i prefer that, usually.
i really like quasi, the boards i’ve gotten from them have been great. want to skate debobs at some point soon

Seems there is only the one PS Stix in 8.375 (unsure of shape) and the one BBS twin in 8.375 from going through the current listings.

At least the listings there are pretty good to see, so combine that with the info above - BBS shovel, PS Stix normal shape?
I cross referenced the shapes / dimensions above with the current stock, but I don't know how often anything is changed in terms of shapes, woodshops, etc.
I guess from the board pics, which are actually photos, not just artist file pics, I could sort of make out shapes, some being a little more blunt looking than others, but it is still not 100% for me, in terms of shovel, or just a squared off looking / full looking shape board.

-
Shape looks similar to the 8.125 they do, which GX and WKND also run. One of my favorite shapes.

How steep is the tail of the 8.25 proto? And how long?
Im looking for something similar to 8.25 alien workshop. Or Pizza Decks.
-
How steep is the tail of the 8.25 proto? And how long?
Im looking for something similar to 8.25 alien workshop. Or Pizza Decks.
The tail is much shorter on the proto, especially compared to the workshop. Sub 6.5 if I recall correctly. The nose is also steeper on the proto, and the overall length is a good bit shorter. I could never get used to the tail on it.

Ah thx a lot. Yeah I skated a proto some time ago, and it was crazy. I couldn’t find out what bothered me and I broke it after 10 days or so.
Probably because of tail it was that strange.
Anything you would recommend me instead what comes closer?
I skated girl go27, was cool, but the concave was too flat for me.

Tough call, because Alien 8.25 tends to be a little longer than most other comapnies. If you like this, just go with another Alien. You may want to check out Strangelove. They have a bunch of different specs, but some look a little longer like what Alien uses. Not sure how the shapes are - I have never had one.

Never the b2, just the standard shape. You might want to try a Reall full se if you can find one. It has the squarish nose and tail.

-
The Proto is quite flat and a super unique shape. It tapers significantly near the back. I can't say I've ever had anything like it and I kinda wanna ride one again.

Have you looked at the Black Label 8.25 decks?
They are a bit over 32" length and I think a 6.75 tail. Overall a nice shape if you want something a bit longer than most 8.25 decks.
* Edit
I found a link with the actual specs of the 8.25 deck. Measured my old Label deck and those specs seem accurate.

Good guy, buying from his local.
I hated my quasi 8.75 ps board. Nose was stupid steep. Tail was perfect though. Euro Fade 8.75.
Having said this, i want to try some of their smaller boards.

Replacement deck came in quick!
They were out of the graphic I originally bought so they sent a different one with the same dims. Not my choice of graphics but sending a sheet of grip is a plus. Stoked that this one has colored plys.

Looks good! Skated a quasi 8.25 proto today. That tail! I can’t get used to it. What is so different about it? Is it the angle?
-
just ordered a 8.5 proto ps stixs on a whim before check specs and found I can't find a exact spec for the nose and tail.
does anyone have the full nerd specs, my madness is overdrive rn.

Email Quasi. They’re super responsive and have answered all kinds of questions I’ve had about specs within a day or two.

PSA: If you're ordering a Quasi board off Skate Warehouse, don't trust the description when it comes to which woodshop was used. They have a few PS boards labeled as BBS. If you click on the picture and zoom in, it's pretty easy to tell if it's PS or BBS.

Anyone have any luck with Quasi warranty department? I have a delam on day 3
Edit: Minutes after I posted this I received the email and they’re replacing it. So if anyone else is wondering they’re warranty department is awesome!
I had a quasi deck delam on me after only two weeks of use so I emailed them and they too sent a replacement for free… even got to pick out a different deck.
Good dudes over there. It just seems their decks aren’t the best.

Curious, were they PS pressed? I take every chance to shit on PS. I know they have legions of people that love em and I need them to admit they have been gaslighting everyone.
Nikolai Piombo on his 9 club mentioned WKND switching to BBS recently and he said he instantly noticeably skated way better on them.

Maybe pick a more meaningful mission and just let people enjoy what they want. Not need to live with that kind of anger.

Edit: Minutes after I posted this I received the email and they’re replacing it. So if anyone else is wondering they’re warranty department is awesome!
I had a quasi deck delam on me after only two weeks of use so I emailed them and they too sent a replacement for free… even got to pick out a different deck.
Good dudes over there. It just seems their decks aren’t the best.
Nikolai Piombo on his 9 club mentioned WKND switching to BBS recently and he said he instantly noticeably skated way better on them.
Maybe pick a more meaningful mission and just let people enjoy what they want. Not need to live with that kind of anger.
I bet you're fun at parties.

He’s right though, PS Stix have a pretty consistent delam problem. I had one splitting after 3 total hours of very light skating. It sounds like he had the same experience and I can’t blame him.

People at parties like to talk shit about trivial things so youre right.
And yes, I've had a delam from them. Also have had a quasi that straight up had holes in the plies on the side. And the boards generally feel like cardboard. My friend had one that had misdrilled holes. I just dislike the professor thats all and all that nanotube talk is straight snake oil.

PS stix deserves the shit talk.

It’s fine to call them out for that stuff, but it seems like your whole existence is wrapped up in taking down PS. Take a breath. It’s only a skateboard.

ps stix boards ain't even worth skating when you get them for free, it's a waste of griptape, you set the shit up and it already feels broken
-
I get it. These are all legitimate gripes. We don’t you all start a PS thread instead of dumping it in the Quasi thread? It would probably get more eyes.

Dude I'm talking shit on slap. Hardly means my full existence. You act like this threads a sacred place that will get ruined by shit talking poor QC'd woodshop. I guess the brands' actions speak for themselves. WKND, Welcome, Quasi (partially), GX, and I'm sure others all are switching to BBS. Anyways back to quasi I guess. Bobby posted skating.

No, I’m saying if PS fills you with this much rage then go start a thread about it instead of blowing up this one. You said it yourself that you want to shit on PS every chance you can so go do it. Create a PS gripe thread. That would probably get more attention than what you’re doing now.

It's called a hyperbole. People do it in jest. To get a heightened reaction. But I guess I'm the one that's not fun at parties.

I couldn’t help but notice in the second to last slide of that BDK insta he has a paperback copy of A Feast Of Snakes by Harry Crews. A depraved and gross book about trailer trash doing all sorts of grimy things. BDK is gnarly as fuck.

Nah I'll do it here. Funny how I'm the only one that posted anything related to quasi in this exchange but continue being mad about me derailing a thread.
Saying I hate the wood the company in the thread uses is totally within reason. I might have started a thread to do it but since it bothers you this much it'll just live here now.

The defects that people mention regarding PS Stix are legitimate. Misdrilling is common and I’ve seen sponsored people trade in their fucked up decks for normal ones.
Anyone upset about shit talking on PS Stix wood can go make out with a Pizza deck.

Not at all. I don't have a dog in this fight. I probably ride more BBS than PS generally. And I don't think there is anything wrong with people bringing up these problems with PS decks. I had a problem with his scorched earth approach and general dickhead attitude. Like the dude is just waiting for someone to bring this stuff up. The person who brought this up originally emailed Quasi and got their shit replaced.
All I'm saying is maybe people who have had a problem with PS should start a thread about it. That would probably get more attention than blowing up the Quasi thread.
Edit: And, yes, I realize I've become part of the problem with blowing up the thread so I'll see myself out.

I still have no idea what problem you had with my verbiage. Saying I fucking hate them is par in course for online shit talk on here and you act like I am having a meltdown. I'm fine with letting it sit where it is now since this dear thread where nothing is happening is so precious to you.

in the nikolai piombo 9 club interview he says how happy he is that wknd ditched psstix and went to bbs (also pretty funny because the 9 club boards are made on psstix), he cited inconsistency issues as well.
he also apparently skates for like 6-7 hours/day and is super finicky about his setup so if he is over the moon about the switch up, i hope quasi makes the switch too because i love their graphics. i wish they made more 8.75 graphics though

quasi has shape indicator stickers for the latest drop
i have seen a few up close and it goes as follows:
Q41:

Totally agree, love the graphics and company but don’t want any part of the PS decks, and wish there were more 8.75’s or even 9’s

Said it before but Quasi reminds me of what crail was like to me growing up. I completely want to support them but they are too stubborn and short sighted to invest in better boards or at least boards that most of their base would like. I know they offer some bbs but I am sick of looking on their site or in shops just to see that none are my shape. I am certainly not the only in my circles to feel this exact same way.
I have heard through multiple people that PS is not doing well and will severely downsize so we will see what happens.

The Quasi site lists whether the board is PS Stix or BBS, so you can use that in looking for options, either 8.3 in the search, or BBS.
So I just tried the search option on the Quasi site, typing BBS 8 and 11 results came up, a number of 8.3 options, some twins, and one normal shape, at least that is what I am seeing here.
https://quasiskateboards.com/search?type=product&q=bbs+8
https://quasiskateboards.com/search?type=product&q=8.3
That may help in locating one, or even just going by the graphic and name, it might make it easier to search in shops.
https://quasiskateboards.com/products/rowe-plushie-8-375
Or on any number of shop sites now including Tactics, Cowtown, SPOT, CCS, Slam City Skates, and more.

Meanwhile, I'm still stubbornly intent on trying a PS Stix deck one of these days. Possibly because I still have fond memories of my Schmitt Stix Lucero from back in the day and definitely because I just want to see what the difference is now that I'm in the stage where I'm paying more attention and care about the differences more. My guess is I'll end up not liking it since I prefer the feel of stronger decks like LibTech, VX and currently on R7, which so far, seems better than BBS to me. I hear people say the initial feel of PS Stix is unique and very good so I want to experience that.

yeah, i like ps stix boards. i haven’t had the problems that others are describing, but ive had some of their stuff sog out fast, delam, and some that broke.
a fair amount of you busters should get a powell flight deck and log off, shit will last you forever.
i like ps boards more than bbs boards, in general.
anyways, ill read some stuff on here, ill contemplate the dimensions for boards and go to the shop to get something, and frequently walk out with a quasi, they just look cool.
and the bobby dekeyser is super pro

I had a VX deck and will assume Flight would be similar but it didn't last me any longer than a regular board. Maybe less since they are thinner and razor tail faster plus the composite layers in them make the razor even less tolerable with those fibers sticking out. Sure, they keep pop and don't break but razor tail is what usually ends my decks life and I rarely break or lose so much pop, I can't ride it.

hahahaa, i meant to write ‘extent’, but yeah.
here’s what i was trying to say: i had a board delam, it was infrequently used, and over a year old. i’ve had some boards that went soggy, after a few weeks, which didn’t bother me, i don’t need/want a board to last for several months.
-
Does the 8.5 Proto from the latest drop have flat concave with a square nose? I noticed that the latest ones are BBS and was wondering if the shape is the same as the PS ones.
If not, what shape(s) should I consider? One of my boards is the 8.5"x33"x14.5" Quasi shape, but I want something even flatter.

Thanks a lot ! Unfortunatelky I live in Switzerland and don't really wanna order from the US anymore.
And in the shops here it's all PS, I bought an 8.5 BBS last year but it was the only Quasi BBS I've ever seen here.
I guess it's also hard to sell, the PS shapes are so weird to me, maybe it's just me tho.

in the nikolai piombo 9 club interview he says how happy he is that wknd ditched psstix and went to bbs (also pretty funny because the 9 club boards are made on psstix), he cited inconsistency issues as well.
he also apparently skates for like 6-7 hours/day and is super finicky about his setup so if he is over the moon about the switch up, i hope quasi makes the switch too because i love their graphics. i wish they made more 8.75 graphics though
I have heard through multiple people that PS is not doing well and will severely downsize so we will see what happens.
Exactly the same for me. I Bought 2 and then was over it, I would love to get my<self an 8.38 if they were from BBS, I'm always looking for one but never end up finding it... Sucks
The Quasi site lists whether the board is PS Stix or BBS, so you can use that in looking for options, either 8.3 in the search, or BBS.
So I just tried the search option on the Quasi site, typing BBS 8 and 11 results came up, a number of 8.3 options, some twins, and one normal shape, at least that is what I am seeing here.

Does gx use both ps or bbs? Or are those old ps boards you have sitting? The gx 8.25 with square nose and tail is my Goldilocks shape at the moment, would hate if they go the quasi route and seldomly use bbs

The specific boards are global, so any of the Rowe Plushie graphic will be BBS, but I guess it is also down to the local distributor getting them in and then the shops stocking them.
If you know who the distributor is, you can email / message them and ask, or see if your shop can order any in for you.
That is the best option.

My understanding was that both brands under the same distribution - Quasi, GX1000 - use the same shapes and the same options in wood, eg both use BBS and PS Stix, which is listed on their respective web sites for each deck.
* Just looking at Quasi, there is a mix, but in looking at GX1000 it seems like most if not all are now BBS, but at least they all have where they are from, along with other info.

same! they're amazing
from my understanding they switched to all BBS. No more PS
Riding the father time now and it is so good. The "intertwined" one isn't square, but more thumb and it is a great shape too
edit*
"they" being GX
the PS ones in my closet are old ones when they had the same shapes as Quasi, so in my closet is a mix of both GX and Quasi PS decks
-
Having seen both the recent Quasi and GX decks in person they are not the same shapes. Quasi has a shovel nose 8.375 and a popsicle: PS does both still but the popsicle is much less steep. It's a mix across the board with the twin tails BBS and there's actually a BBS shovel nose as well. Honestly they need to stick to one manufacturer and concept and I'd actually skate their shit again but even within the same drop there's different PS shape numbers on the same model deck.
GX is BBS and they do a shovel and popsicle in most sizes. The pops are mellow with long kicks. A less pointy Baker.

quasi will be all BBS by the fall
Is this a prediction or insider knowledge?

Any idea if the 8.5 gx with the 14.25 wheelbase is the shovel nose? Been curious about this for a while. Grabbed a gx board when they first switched to bbs and it just looked like that standard bbs 8.5 pop with the longer wheelbase(14.5)

They seem to have both. The one I saw was 14.25 and popsicle with mega long kicks. I saw a black one that was a shovel PS I think the same shape as a Quasi. I don't skate 8.5 or shovel noses so I didn't measure or compare it.

Does the 8.5 Proto from the latest drop have flat concave with a square nose? I noticed that the latest ones are BBS and was wondering if the shape is the same as the PS ones.
If not, what shape(s) should I consider? One of my boards is the 8.5"x33"x14.5" Quasi shape, but I want something even flatter.
AFAIK all the Proto 8.5s have remained Psstix "flat square 14.25wb" Q63 shape. Its used occasionally on others see deplatform ..
https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ2Cj7axlvo/?hl=de.
This is my go to shape and it is perfect on a much flat pressing result. Now and then i run into steeper versions.
I'd be curious too on alternative shapes for a "8.5 14.25wb square flat" one. The antihero eagle i've tried but it ain't the one.
-
Thanks for responding.
This is the only Proto I’ve seen that was made by BBS:
https://quasiskateboards.com/collections/frontpage/products/proto-8-8
I tried out the BBS Proto and I liked it more than the PS Protos, but not as much as the 8.5” x 33” x 14.5” Quasi shape. Q38 is my favorite shape, but I keep experimenting with my setups.

i used to skate protos all the time and basically any other deck that had the same dimensions w/ the big ass nose.
is the 14.5 wb x 33 length model similar, or is the shape completely different?
-
The new drop has nice laser etched shape numbers for each deck and woodshop. Too many shapes though. My local confirmed all BBS in the next drop, but there was 3 or 4 different 8.38s and 8.25s each.
-
Quasi going to bbs is good news for me. Both my quasi decks I skated had issues and I don’t think I’ll ever buy a ps deck again. Quasi has such a dope art style. Probably my favorite of all the skate brands.
-
Mixed feelings about the move. In general I'd really like to see PS survive as I consider them and BBS the only acceptable Woodshops (highly subjective). Would be sad to have to choose between BBS and ClutchDwindleHlcWhathaveyou ...
Up to now, I had 1 delam in about 30 PS decks. Mine usually last around 3 months before breaking which to me is acceptable. Breaking a BBS I can't recall. On the other hand BBS for my taste feels overly rigid and I really appreciate PS having more "flex". Some might consider this "soggy" I don't.
Still curious on a BBS Q63

the 14.5 x 33 is my favorite shape i've ever skated, just did some research and found a top photo on ccs, and it looks to be a little more rounded- less square/ full, which is really disappointing to me

PS: I've had 2 delams, one misdrilled bolt holes where the front and back truck were misaligned, 2 boards snap on first session (one on a second time ever popping switch front pop), one that had small holes in some layers like a termite burrowed through the board, all of them felt dead 3 session if they made it to that. Why did I try em so many times? Cause I kept convincing myself each time it was a rare dud. One I got directly from quasi after a delam (turned out to be the one of the ones that snapped first session). I might just have had the worst luck but even one instance of misdrilled holes should be unacceptable for a woodshop headed by a guy who dresses like a professor.
BBS: I've had a few duds that felt creaky and ended up snapping a couple sessions in. Boards skated great til they were done. Definitely not perfect but I can tell why they are the industry standard.

I just found the new collection's BDK 8.38 board.

I’ve gotten 2 of the BDK 8.5 ps stix boards and 2 of the blacked out protos recently. 3 out of 4 felt terrible. One of the protos felt soggy and delaminated the first time I skated it for about an hour. Both of the bdk boards felt extremely soggy. Absolutely love their 8.5 square shape so I’ll try the bbs version again and I’ve also been liking wknd 8.5 shovel nose and shorter wheel base shovel nose as an alternative
-
Anyone have any insight into the length dimensions of the new BBS Quasi run? The dimensions listed on their website for the various widths all match the lengths that were listed when PS Stix made their boards, but we know that PS measures along the curve whereas BBS measures tip to tip.

Been skating the There Chandler Burton shape with the longer wheelbase (8.5 x 32.6 x "14.69") and still have a few on deck but am looking forward to trying a BBS Q38 sooner than later. Skated 5-6 Jake Johnson boards on that shape years ago and liked the dimensions but didn't love the PS quality/feel. Always hyped on Quasi graphics

Just got 2 Q63‘s in the mail.
#1 latest Rowe (BBS‘s Q63) alongside
#2 Barker 3 (the PS proto 8.5 shape later to be labeled Q63)
https://skateaholic.it/prodotti/2614-5133-quasi-skateboards-bygone-deck.html#/75-misura_tavola-85
https://skateaholic.it/prodotti/1248-2072-quasi-skateboards-barker-3-deck.html#/75-misura_tavola-85
The PS is a relatively flat one considering their „usual differences within production tolerance“.This particular BBS one is less flat (in concave and kicks) than the PS board. Can‘t tell if this is a steep one compared with other BBS pressings.
The BBS is a little longer than the PS one (which appears to be difference in tail length). Plus, BBS seems to be a hair smaller in width.
That being said there’s really not much noteable visual difference.

Anyone see a shape guide? Only within the past year or so Quasi started putting indicators on boards eg QS1, which is the only one I know because it's a twin. Checked with a shop and they haven't seen a shape guide to reference for each alphanumeric code.

This was from half a dozen posts above on the same page.
The rest of the post has other interesting info, but I just copied the single line, hopefully to show, someone else has said that BBS boards are longer than PS Stix boards.
I would imagine that this is the same across their other boards too, but that is just speculation on my part.

Yup, I did see that, just curious if anyone had any more specifics related to how the sizes changed. If the new one is in fact 32.375" long measuring the standard way, I wonder if this is similar to the AWS 8.25 and 8.5 that are 32.25 long. The nose and tail could be the same as that since the Quasi wb is 14.375 instead of 14.25. I may just have to try one out. If I do, I'll post the dimensions here. Thanks!
-
I have the Quasi 8.375 popsicle deck and it's very similar to the PS variant. I don't have one around to compare, but it's a hair under 32 and the Tactics measurements are accurate. I believe the shape was Q53.
-
Here to post measurements for the BBS Q74 shape (8.25 x 32.375) since they are still posting ps measurements. This is what I am getting: 8.25 x 31.875, 14.375 wb, 6.9375 nose, 6.625 tail.

I actually reached out to them about this, they're in the process of making a shape guide. Here's what I got:
Q41 and Q42 are both shovel nose shapes, the Q42 shape has a slightly smaller wheelbase (14" vs. 14.25)
Q74 is a more traditional popsicle shape with a longer wheelbase of 14.375"
-
That's a good sign! Thank for the info.

here's what google had to say about the one im riding now. Its the "Debaser" Deck, but also the one I am riding is an old AD acid ply (debaser as backup)
"The Quasi Q38 deck shape is a 8.5-inch wide, 33-inch long,7-ply maple deck known for its stable, slightly directional, yet functional popsicle-style shape, typically pressed at BBS. It features a large, rounded nose, a slightly tapered square-ish tail, and a 14.5-inch wheelbase"

Kick info would be nice but this actually helps a bunch, been looking for a board with a little more tail length and the 8.25 seems like it might work for me. I think the only quasi I had was PS pressed and probably almost a decade ago
Edit to add it’s the Q42 shape
-
The QS2 is an 8.25” twin nose, but the specs aren’t available yet.

that’s a forged baseplate right?

No they're cast. The screen grab resolution is pretty shitty but you can see there's some faint lines on the IG post and that the plate is thicker. They seem to answer comments so maybe you should ask.
What is the purpose of a hard bottom and soft top? Makes me think maybe I need to be cranking my shit more.

Jaeb feels like a thunder guy to me. Don’t @ me lol.
Can’t wait to see the specs on that QS2 tho
-
Been on two QS1 twins each one listed 8.38 and every one I've skated or measured in person splits the difference between 8.38 and 8.25 for width, which I actually liked. It's subtle but definitely doesn't feel 8.25 or 8.38, so 8.31-ish.
Maybe the QS2 also won't measure true to the 8.25 list and hover closer to 8.18/8.19 to split the 8.25/8.125 gap.
-
Jaeb WAS on Thunder up until late last year when he started riding Indys. Nov/Dec: I saw him skate a park around LA with the Dickies squad - Indys on his board. Seems like he was casually added in the last few months instead of a proper welcome.
I reckon Indys paired better with Quasi's dims/shapes for him and he ended up liking them more than Thunders
I mostly see Indy/Venture/Ace on Quasi decks in person, do y'all see people rocking Thunders often with them?

3mm risers and 148 with 3-4 washers inside. I read on here he also used to run 2 tops but then saw a pic where it seemed he had a cylinder bottom?
-
Anyone that’s had the Q42, can you tell me a little about it. Thinking about grabbing at the local on my trip I’m going on but curious before I get there. How’s the steepness on the kicks? Anything of note with anything else? Going to pair with T1 thunders and want it for the 14 inch wheelbase

Skating one right now. Its pretty steep- I usually ride mellow/flat boards, but I don't mind this shape. The long tail on it feels great too. I'm running it with 144 forged hollow Indy's.

pretty much all of this except i ran it on ventures and liked it at first but after a stint on some mellower boards it felt too steep for me. thunders might work well for it actually.

I think the hard bottoms and soft tops are to make em more like thunder with the quick turn initiation but like hard stop so he doesn’t wheelbite. Makes more thundery. And probably the heft and the height for his big wheels and heft for that tiny ass wheelbase.
-
He rides super tight trucks there was a pic of his Indy's with normal bushings and like 5 threads showing.
I tried a Q53 and it was horrible. Comically small nose and not the fuller Quasi shapes I've liked before that were that shovel, but were unique. I had an 8.5 Proto recently that had a big steep nose and an oddly flat tail but it actually skated awesome it was just really weird to look at.
-
.
I hadn't seen the size / shape stickers on Quasi boards until now, but at least they look really big and easy to see from online pics too, maybe more so than almost any other brand size or shape sticker.
Example:

He's got wheelbite marks there, 55mm high truck with 55mm wheels
But that doesn't really mean anything
I wonder if they're actually bones bushings on top, and since they're white, Indy is claiming them, to sell more bushings. But the white Indy bushings are 78a lol
BUT, this might make more sense: The reason he's on the inverted kingpin baseplates is so he can crank the shit out of them without them looking like shit, and the 96a bottom bushing holds the geometry/doesn't conpress down too much, and it actually -is- a 78a on top, to get some turn there like you were saying. Makes sense coming from thunders. I think you might be right on the money.
It's a really specific, interesting combo that is facilitated by the inverted kingpin
Surely with the older style Indy top washers, his bushings would look like Leo Romero's in no time. Shredded. The stock washers with indys lately have been the same as the aftermarket ones and don't kill your bushings if you crank em. Those old ones were deep and razor sharp.

Making an Indy feel like a thunder is marketing in itself lol. How many people don’t make the change cuz Indy’s not twitchy and stable enough for em lol

Probably explains his crazy amount of pop, the amount of leverage must be insane

I wonder if having the tiny wheelbase and long nose/tail it makes standard Indys not feel so tall cause your nose/tail hits the ground quicker? Interesting...

With heavy tall Indy’s and big wheels that’s how.
I noticed for me if the wheelbase is too short I can usually deal with it if the trucks a bit taller cuz other wise the pops too wimpy and then you throw more weight in there and I’m sure it becomes a nice medium

Exactly. And at 7" it's more into twin nose territory. Riding that all terrain is crazy.
-
Width a smidge over 8.25, nice! Every QS1 I've had or measured (twin 8.375) split the 8.375-8.25 and come in at 8.31 which I always liked.
Still odd that they rarely come out true to listed width.

I was just thinking those dimensions would work really well with Ventures, especially if it is a steeper board too, as I set up one of those older Real Tropical 8.25 x 32 with 14.0 wb the other day with Venture forged 5.6, IV stamp and it was pretty mellow, but I could see how it could work really well if it was a bit taller.
Curious to hear / see it once set up too.
Thanks for the pics and other info.
-
Just started skating my Jaeb twin, the concave is surprisingly mellow. Took some getting used to after my Magenta board. Flips are effortless though, barely any resistance.
-
If you watch Jaeb footy closely, he tends to pop his tricks in the pockets closer to the bolts, which tells me he likes flatter/mellower boards. Steeper kicks tend to need pop from the tip, rather than closer to the bolts. Similar to Luan De Oliveria and his pop/finesse, he popped in a similar pocket as Jaeb
Makes sense his Quasi shape is on that mellow/flat side IRL! Thanks for testing & reporting @foodsafedye

Anyone know of any UK stores with the Jaeb twin in stock yet?

I could be wrong but I think USA is the only country to have them in stock right now and everyone else will get their boards once they clear shipping from the distributor.
We are supposed to get them in July in AU, so that could be a common theme for the rest of the world, or at least anywhere they have to be shipped to, other than USA / America / Canada, etc.
It really does seem like this was a very quick thing to have happen, but I don't follow everything as closely as some people do.

It's not the wheelbase it's the deck and kick length that likely make it work. A 7" tail is fairly long and while the trucks are close together I have found a few twin nose setups to actually work really well with a wheelbase I would normally consider way too short. Still wouldn't ride it on the regular.

I just set up my first BBS quasi and historically skate flat/mellow boards and I found I liked popping certain tricks from way closer to the bolts than I thought I would.

Nice!
I wonder if some places got the express air delivery of the boards, just to get them out there.
Also is 100 Euros or even 110 for some boards a lot? I see some of their other boards are only 40.
Just curious.
* Unless that was just their conversion for my location on their site. I know some sites do that, when it shows location data and then changes the price according to where you are in the world.

Yeah, it's a lot. US boards usually get that price range (let's say Baker, Girl, etc. )
At least around my location a shop board goes for like 50 - 60€ and then goes for like 80 - 90€. Anything beyond that would be quite expensive so there you have your FA for example.

These are the measurements from Quasi:

https://quasiskateboards.com/collections/frontpage/products/jaeb-debut-8-25
From the Primitive site:
8.25” x 31.85” - 14” Wheelbase * Which would then give approximately 6.8 kicks.
https://primitiveskate.com/products/rodriguez-twin-nose-eagle-deck-ssp24
I do see another site with the wheelbase listed as 13.8 or something so it could be kind of close.

Interesting to note, so I guess the new pro board could have been inspired by the Primitive one.
At least some Primitive boards - the ones we get here in AU - are on BBS, as are the Quasi boards in the coming drop / the current stock that is out in some places, so it could be very close really, Primitive with the mellow molds and as others have said, the new twin with a more mellow concave compared to other Quasi boards, which to me are very steep in the kicks.
* I think those current boards that are in shops have been express delivered, so the cost could be higher than the later deliveries via regular or surface carriers, eg express sent by air so the price of the boards is going to be a lot higher, regular in a container on a ship so the price is going to be more normal.
Quasi is now one of the higher priced products here, but not even close to the most expensive, but I don't know all the ins and outs of the different countries, costs, or delivery methods.

I think the warning sticker with the smallest print I have ever seen has the "Made in..." on it, to which people had posted in the Woodshop thread or elsewhere, Primitive boards have been made in Mexico, China and USA over the years, but maybe consolidated now to all being made there in USA for a bit.
Never heard them swapping up different woodshops for delivery of decks to different places round the world, like some brands have done, but I guess depending on whatever current stock is around, everyone is going to get the same stuff these days, most likely USA made, with BBS being older stock now, from what I have seen here.
Re same shape he has skated for years now, I guess he could always get his own specific shape, with either brand just tweaking it a little if they wanted to release it to the general public too, or even having different specs listed, but it actually being the same board anyway.
It does make sense, because some pro skaters will ride the same shape for as long as they need to, eg if everything is working, why change anything up at all.
The era of twin shapes is stepping up once again, with his twin board selling out pretty fast, by the looks of it too.

I got it thinking it was the old 8.5/14.25 and honestly, it's weird. So far I've had 3 BBS Quasi shapes and they've all sucked. The noses are tiny, almost tails. The 8.5 has a normal nose but the short wheelbase feels weird it's like there is zero leverage. I know a few of their team skate Ventures and maybe want this WB, but in combo with the kicks it's weird compared to what Quasi used to put out. I used to ride the 8.5, 8.38, and 8.5 Proto a lot and now I can't stand em.

shit i wanted to get this, looked fun.
i’ve got the 8.25 14 wb mentioned above and i quite like it. and this is coming from someone that use to reeeeeeally like the ps boards. i so infrequently skate, that the fact that the board was new and the sub was shining most likely weighed heavily

I definitely agree with you on these Quasi boards - had a stand on half a dozen in another shop not too long ago and none of them really look and feel "normal" often with what feels like different concaves, or holes drilled that didn't really match up to the mold or board shapes.
A friend got one so steep he couldn't skate it, so I tried every option on it, both drilled in baseplates, regular trucks, even flattened it and it still felt uncomfortable to skate, but watching the team on them, small boards, extreme pop for maximum height (Gilbert especially) I can see why they like them like that.
I guess from having a few of the older boards come through my hands, which didn't feel so bad or extreme, something might be going on with them, or who knows what, but the Dylan twin is a very regular concave and shape, apart from the short wheelbase, but seems like the only one on that mold, from the spec sheet info.
* Reposting this one that was from a couple of pages back. The kicks, especially the noses are very short on some of those shapes.
I snapped and bought one from the homies shop Prolific in NJ, since the local does not carry quasi... will post when I get it if someone else hasn't already... IMAGINE TWINNING
