Title: Krooked Beemers
Post by: Frank and Fred on February 15, 2023, 02:08:02 PM
Let me see your Evil Beemers.

How much are they retail? and are they BBS or a special wood shop?

I'm getting old and fat like Gonz. Maybe I can learn backside lip slides on curbs? Probably not, but I am still tempted to hunt one down on SSD for the challenge...

The MSRP on them is $125 , resellers usually post them for 300+… maybe your shop is splitting the difference… still pretty steep

I got lucky and was able to get one. I did some frontside ollies on a ramp with it and they felt really cool. Some parks and spots I go to get a little boring, so I like to have a shaped board in the car to spice things up. I'm gonna need to switch to Thunder 181's asap though.

Beamer coupe is even shorter than the zogger  :o

Kinda feels like a rip off considering how similar they are and the Beamer is twice the price
Title: Re: Krooked Beemers
Post by: intendedreceivers on May 30, 2023, 09:04:42 PM
Having both a Coupe and a Zog on ice right now, they’re not very similar in shape, and the expense in the Beamers come from the unique mold and the extra cutting/routing/finishing.

I think I've got the Classic 77's on my Baby Beamer with 3 washers on the inside of the wheel. The wheels are radial fulls. If you have a wider wheel the 169's would do but I'm a Ace man ace you can see

BITD, I always use to baby new boards. Seemed like they were more vulnerable to breaking when they were brand new. They needed a bit of break in and flex... That meant no lipslides, 360 flips or big gaps for a week or so...

I haven't broken a board in years though... Board quality is better and I do way less high impact stuff. But, you still have to expect its possible and comes with the territory. Delams are another story....

Same, still do for the first few hours. And have broken a freshie right on the wheel well; ofc my fault for doing that, but those wells do not hold out or flex, that's for sure. Having said that I have skated several Beamers including the coupe, but I was not flipping the coupe at all. The tail on that thing is just a massive rectangle as well. That, coupled with wells, plus flip tricks... -"Shit. Two tons of metal, 200 miles an hour, flesh and bone and plain old Newton..."

Post by: Too Frank To Fred on September 17, 2024, 09:00:02 AM
I never experienced wheel-wells  being more prone to premature snap age but you're not the first person who has reported this.

I always broke boards in the middle of the deck or slightly back from the middle, usually on the heel side rail. Maybe a few tail breaks but that was due to very poor foot landing placement.

Those Beemers do look vulnerable for a couple of different reasons.

Agreed. I set mine up with 215s and it hot rodded like crazy. Swapped them for Ace 66s and that’s been perfect for me (though I’m also running 58mm Radial fulls)

 I have Ace 77 on mine, when skating you can't see the wheels looking down with those little 53 bones, and 60 Anderson nanos.  I can actually measure it if you want.

The Baby Beamer is roughly 9.25 over the trucks, 169s with a wider wheel work well but I can see 77s or 9.5s being awesome as well.

Took it out for a quick hour sesh this morning and its a really fun board, think i had the best time on the slappy curb outside the park.

I think the baby Beamer is the one I need. The tail on the baby has a taper unlike the OG. On the OG beam I felt like I never knew where my back foot was.


Also thank you @too Frank to Fred for the the tech support.

set up a coupe with 215s awhile back, love it. Cut up some clear sweatpants grip for the top and it came out pretty nice I think...

They do taper a bit more than you expect, I’m riding a baby Beamer which is 10.2” wide or something and my 10” trucks were hot rodding like crazy. 9” actually work way better so it probably won’t be so bad on a full size. But I’m also running 58mm radial fulls which help make up the size difference.

I also grabbed an SSD Beamer but my Indy 215s are currently on my horse pill so it may be a bit before I move them over

Yeah I’m going to try it until my 215s come. I mean why the hell not? Very stoked on my first Beamer.


Edit: They don’t look too psycho.

So how’s everyone planning on gripping their beamers?? Honestly the top graphic is so good I think I’m just going to go clear grip. Not sure how the white ones look but the black pearlescent on top is great and the rails are dipped white too. I hate to cover it up. I *almost* hate to skate it….. almost.

Big Board Little Board

Only had half a sheet of clear Mob and half a sheet of Black Mob and was just barely able to make it work. Should look better once it's skated a bit. Full size beamer is significantly larger than the Baby Beamer and the shape is noticeable different, specifically the tail is a lot squarer and it's much fuller over the front truck. Still very flat. Can't wait to get on it this weekend.

Big shout out to @BartHarleyJarvis for this Baby Beamer. Took it out for a solid sesh yesterday, it’s perfect for making the weird little park by my house more fun which was the use case I had in mind.

Currently running 77s and 60mm x99s, but may swap to 93 F4s.

Shout out BHJ on the stunner grip job.
Seent Barker at the spot, riding a full size beemer like it was 8.5 popsicle & made me question just how important the equipment actually is in so many of our cases.
Seems that when you’re good enough, a 2x4 will do (see: Chico Brenes) & when you’re not, it’s probably the fault of the pivot cup or some shit.
Had me rethinking what I thought I knew.

Guys guys I’m blushing over here.

If BHJ doesn’t send you his old Beemer first I’ll be sure to send the Baby up your way once I’ve skated it a while, we can get a sisterhood of the traveling Beemers going.

I saw the dlxsf fall catalog yesterday and I see antihero have a really fun looking beemer shape on the way. Looks like a baby Beemer outline but 9.8” wide and 14.5” WB. Also wheel wells look sick and are similarly Routered properly for all 4 wheels.

Also some other really far out shapes on the way. Frank will be bombing hills with Levi Hawken…

oh no.
i stopped riding shaped boards 4 ish years ago. felt like the different shapes were causing even more consternation around truck/wheel choice, and then i’d like the look, but wasn’t loving the skate results.
right now i want a baby beemer or that tri-plane. maybe the tri-plane more. what the heck trucks fit the baby beemer/tri-plane?
what about this new shape?
scram used to mention the truck sizes for the shaped boards and i appreciated that

Shoutout @BALARGUE for selling me this an eternity ago. Was getting burned out skating my usual spots and decided to finally grip it. Running some OJs and Ace's and it's a sick ass cruiser. That W-concave felt weird at first, but you get used to it real quick. Cruised a bit, saw some cows in a river, did some flatground and stalls on a coarse ledge and it felt real nice. It was a pain to finally get one and fuck, I'm gonna have to buy another one in the future.
