Title: Quasi?
Post by: Lashes2ashes on January 02, 2020, 08:01:59 PM
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.

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!

Post by: Esmith5488 on January 03, 2020, 08:50:39 AM
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).

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

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.
Title: Re: Quasi?
Post by: Woos on January 03, 2020, 09:52:33 PM
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?

Proto I
Proto II
Quasi Time One
Quasi Time Two

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.

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.
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?

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

Post by: Weezil on January 04, 2020, 12:29:57 PM
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.

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.

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.

Umm yeah it’s accurate. Don’t measure tip to tip without including the actual concave of the kicks.

PS Stix measures pre press. BBS doesn’t include any concave/shape when measuring. It’s old news.

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
[close]

Umm yeah it’s accurate. Don’t measure tip to tip without including the actual concave of the kicks.

PS Stix measures pre press. BBS doesn’t include any concave/shape when measuring. It’s old news.

I see, doesn't make much sense to measure pre press and not take into account the concave and shape to me.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

https://imgur.com/a/qMqjutG

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

https://www.routeone.co.uk/products/quasi-crockett-dream-cycle-skateboard-deck-8-25-001118871 (https://www.routeone.co.uk/products/quasi-crockett-dream-cycle-skateboard-deck-8-25-001118871)

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!

these are all pretty dope, nice reissue choices.

I just picked that up during a throw of madness to downsize; nabbed some Thunder Team Hollows (Silvas Omni) to go with it.

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

I just picked that up during a throw of madness to downsize; nabbed some Thunder Team Hollows (Silvas Omni) to go with it.

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.

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.

I personally prefer PS, but my son just rides a Baker, is not comparable. For me a skateboard is not a tool or a teenager investment, it’s a relationship with its own personalities… so is life…  :D

Rumor most likely, especially on here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
[close]

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
[close]

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?

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.
[close]

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
[close]

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.
[close]

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

are the noses still square ish/ thumb ish?

Not in my experience. The noses on FA/Hockey’s are fucking quarter pipes.

Hopefully the noses don’t get super steep now that they’re going to BBS

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.

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 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.  :)



Title: Re: Quasi?
Post by: Woodshop on February 16, 2022, 08:08:59 PM

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

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.

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.

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?

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 DMd them like a man a while ago and they said it was just for that Dane board and they weren’t switching everything to bbs

That should make most of the Quasi + PS Stix keepers happy then.

Yay!!

Ew. I don't know how you guys skate those soggy ps quasis. The rality of the situation is that ps stix sucks after 2 sessions.

My rality is different from your rality

(I heart ps, a lot. The quality control is not ideal. Skating a quasi now. Need another stat).

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 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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: Quasi?
Post by: Woodshop on April 29, 2022, 06:28:10 PM

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.

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.

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 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.
[close]


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'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.

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.

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...

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

the rizzo model is 8.5 BBS

i like quasi's weird graphics, but i do not like their shapes. At least the two that i tried were way to full/square in the kicks for my taste. I didnt like the PSstix wood either, but i know they've moved to BBS now right?

It's a shame because i really like a lot of their team, and DLX doesn't really need my sales. I'd rather support a smaller company, but i just dont enjoy their actual skateboards.

Oh sick thx !

But I live in Europe, Switzerland and none of the Quasi decks I can find here are BBS 8.5. And don't really wanna buy directly from the US tbh.
On their website there is no 8.5  from BBS in the new drop if I'm correct, so let's see maybe in the new drop

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
Title: Re: Quasi?
Post by: LebowskisRug on August 23, 2023, 10:10:33 AM
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:

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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.
