Wide board + short WB skaters truly are the most oppressed minority
every couple days for the last year or so, i would open my skateshop bookmarks hoping on a new "unicorn", filter by width and wheelbase, and close my phone in disgust in that order.
"you want a small wheelbase? ride an 8, bigfoot!" i can hear these screams in ever waking nightmare.
this thread is for the dozens of us (as the industry sees it) to discuss the dozen of options that are left, experiences with said boards/setups, new developments for the cause, etc. most importantly to put our collective foot down in hopes for wheelbase equality.
(8.5 and up, 14.25 and below)

havent skated this much yet due to the storm but it might be the steepest shape i have ever owned, from the tail to the concave.

I’ll be watching this thread. My last deck was 8.5 with 14.25, currently on a 14.4wb.
I did skate 3 of the 9” Santa Cruz boat shape last year and they all had a 14.25wb.

Wknd Jordan Taylor
Width 8.5
WB 14.25
Indy 149 hollow (at 55mm)
54mm spits
Im not sure about length tail and nose, wknd has been all over the place at times with those depending on season.
While i thought i would have a hard time skating it, it actually feels balanced even with cupsole shoes. Concave is medium compared to my polar 8.25 which was longer and flatter.
Currently still in lockdown id report back when i put more miles with my skating.

Early last year Primitive made a Spencer Hamilton 8.62 popsicle with a 14" wb. I thought it was a typo/too good to be true but I gave it a gamble and bought one. To my surprise, it was a true 14"wb. Great deck - big nose, big tail and pretty flat concave (it was like riding a late 90's girl deck on steroids). I pair it with venture 6.1 trucks and bones 54 v1 wheels. During the time I was riding it, I kept scouring the internet for more of them but couldn't find any, so I rode it into the ground. Then one day, shortly after the first wave of covid lockdowns (april/mayish?) lo and behold the primitive website restocked them and had a 20% off sale to boot, so I bought 4. Haven't seen them around since but if I do, Im stocking up again. Until then, I got 2 left.
Here is what it looked like
https://shop.ccs.com/primitive-hamilton-dreams-skateboard-deck-8-625
If it doesn't ever come back, I'll probably end up getting a Polar popsicle 8.62 or 8.75. The wb is longer than I'd prefer but those shapes are pretty good. Before the primitive hamilton, I rode two or three polar 8.75s and one 8.6. I think the wb on those were 14.38 which was hefty to pop but manageable after getting used to it. I was riding indy 159 and ace 55 on those. But the Ventures I'm riding now and that polar 14.38 might be rough...

Deck is definitely going to have a med/steep tail. For tail length probably around 6 5/8"? I don't know yet, gotta draft a shape.

I’ll be watching this thread. My last deck was 8.5 with 14.25, currently on a 14.4wb.
I did skate 3 of the 9” Santa Cruz boat shape last year and they all had a 14.25wb.
I haven’t skated any of the stumps decks but the Dante Cruz decks were great. Slight taper. Not full football, think rugby. They were stiff and steep and skated like a smaller deck. I skated them with 161s. I started going down in deck size and haven’t bought one since but now I’m on my way back up and I would skate one again.
Anyone skate a short wheelbase with Aces?

This sounds like a really sick shape, but something seems weird about skating a "santa cruz" board being from the opposite side of the country. Anyone else feel this way too?
It was cool that people like Damian Smith, Jake Rupp and Vanik Hacobian rode for them at times and they released some cool footage of them, but I always feel like it was weird that they skated for them in the first place.

I would be checking on that board because those dimensions just don't add up. Those dimensions do make me think of Alien Workshop decks though, which had super long nose and tail with short wheelbase and overall normal length.
Deck Specs:
Width: 8.5"
Length: 32"
Wheelbase: 14"
Nose: 7.38"
Tail: 7"
Every Baker board I have seen that is 8.5 has had more the 14.5 wheelbase, but the 8.475 size is the short board, same as they have advertised on:
https://bakerskateboards.com/pages/board-construction
SIZE 8.475 8.5
LENGTH 31.875" 32"
WHEEL BASE 14.25" 14.5"

@Mbrimson88 I had that alien! I loved it. Flipped great and I didn’t worry about my toes dragging on landings. Not that I care if things look clean but like I’m skating ann8.375 now and my toes drag after done trucks and it slows me down.
All the AWS and habitat decks I’ve seen this drop is 8.5 with a 14.25. But def gonna go back up to 8.5. Just hoping for 14.1Wb I know it’s not much but in my head that’s what I need.

Isnt baker releasing the 9" with 14.25 wheelbase anymore?
Also any info on the dims of the new hockey 8.75-9" decks?
-
Do not trust SoCal skate shop's wheelbase measurements. I've seen quite a few decks on there with horribly wrong measurements.
-
The only thing that can be trusted is your own tape measure, considering different places have different philosophies on how to measure properly.

I sought out these magnificent beasts, before I succumbed to the idea that I need a narrower board. A company that i haven’t seen mentioned is Evisen. mine isn’t as short as it said it’d be, my measurements are: 8.25x13.8x31.5. I think they have more shapes that are proportionally short.
Wood God BFRD also recommended that I look into Blood Wizard for shorter stuff, I hear they’ve switched wood to clutch, unclear if that’s all or some, and what effect that will have on the shapes.

Good call..That 8.5 5boro is really nice I loved mine with some Ventures for anybody considering one.
The "shred shape" sounds like a skinnier Loveseat, which obviously is an amazing shape. I have never seen a shredshape on here.
-
got a Dane 1 in the mail. Can't wait to set it up
-
That 8.6 primitive with a 14 wb sounds amazing. Primitive definitely keeps their wheelbases pretty short. Would love to try one so hopefully they come back.
Also I didn’t know hockey/fa were making wider and longer boards. Seems strange considering their demographic/image.
The polar 8.6 shape feels really big to me. Wb is 14.38? Definitely a good backup as a wider deck with shorter wb that is not terribly hard to come by.
Santa Cruz boat and creature stump shapes are the same thing just different branding. They have the steeper concave that most nhs decks have and they also have a fair amount of taper. Never skated one myself but I’ve seen them in person a few times.
I’m definitely down with this movement though. Been skating mostly flat ground lately on an 8.0 just because I wanted the short maneuverability. Size 12 shoe causes some toe drag however. Definitely still on the hunt for the perfect setup
-
that 8.6/14 primitive sounds tasty even though i dont like mellow kicks or pointy shapes. havent seen any on their site for the last couple of drops

Im not gonna mention brown bombers because id be expected to mention brown bombers, because i love brown bombers, and i have a stockpile of brown bombers, but lets move on from brown bombers.
Im really enjoying the frankie hill deck, i wish it was 32” long though.
The other big decks ive liked a lot have been the 9” shaped girl decks (couch or love seat), but the stress cracks were so annoying, I couldn’t live with that...would be cool if they release them in the Pop Secret lineup!
Ive had a couple of VX 8.8 decks, but they were both the older shape with 15” WB. I also rode those backwards because the tail was too short and steep.
The Black Label 8.68 popsicle was great, the WB was a little longer at 14.6, but skated really well.
I think for me, the sweet spot on wheelbase is
-14.4-14.6 on Indy’s with 54mm wheels
-14-14.25 on Thunders with 52mm wheels
The thing i find harder to find is length...a lot of the shorter wheelbase big decks are 31’ish long, that’s something I struggle with more, I really need something between 32-32.25...feels weird typing these fractions as big differences but its amazing how much it changes my skating!

https://5boronyc.myshopify.com/collections/5b-decks/products/copy-of-5b-ny-logo-black-8-8-5
My 8.5 5boro was advertised as a 14.25 but it was 14.5 Happened to another guy on here too.
Ah that’s a bummer.
I have one in the stack. I’ll measure it when I get home. The 14.25 wheelbase was one of the main reasons I got it.

The "shred shape" sounds like a skinnier Loveseat, which obviously is an amazing shape. I have never seen a shredshape on here.
Shred shape does look pretty sick.
Im glad you liked it with Ventures because that’s the combo I wanted to try.
Forged or cast baseplate?
I think Tired also has some cool shapes with wheelbases 14.25 and below.

I had 6.1s on it so they are forged. However if I remember right they keep the wb shorter then forged or cast Ventures in all the other sizes. They worked good together for sure.

Tired wheelbases were always quite short, with wide 9+ boards more often than not, but most of the guys I skated with drilled them out to be longer (the opposite of this thread).
I know they were pretty much done and finished here in Australia. Not sure about the rest of the world though.

Dude on the phone was such a cool mf, he asked if I wanted to cancel the order or he could find something else kinda close. I went with a 8.5 FA board which is sub 32 with the 14 wb. What can you do lol

Last fall I rode a shop deck on a Clutch X11 shape. It’s a symmetrical/twin tail popsicle 8.75 x 32.5 (or maybe 33) with a 14.25 WB. I was coming back down to 14.25 from a 14.6 and a 14.75 so I kinda preferred it on 6.1s over 55s but now that I’ve been on 14.25 for a couple of decks I might put the 55s back on and see how it feels. With that wheel base, the noses/kicks are 7” long but I really liked the real estate, especially on an 8.75.
I don’t know if Clutch focused their Instagram or just blocked me for asking what companies are having X11s pressed so I could buy some more but they used to have a post on their feed with the X blanks.
Also, if y’all know someone who presses 8.75s on clutch, let me know so I can keep up the hunt.

Got a 9" creature stumps on sale. Pretty much a football, pointy kicks/medium steep concave. It's responsive, it reminds me of a 90s football shape but upgraded. Good shit. I was running ace 55s on it.

Interesting....i always felt i had a hard time getting any pop on indys with small wheelbase...maybe its also because i tend to get decks with longer tails
I tried riding a 14wb with indys and found that you have to completely change your foot position for tricks. I have to put my foot super far back to get any pop. My sweet spot is a 14.38 wb. I can make it work with Ace, Indy, Tensor, and Thunder. If I skate a big deck with short wb I almost always need ventures.

Not skating anything too crazy right now but I’m on a hockey 8.5 (14.25 WB) with some ace 44s. Whenever Alex decides to put one in a drop I want to try a 917, their 8.5s are usually a 14.19 wheelbase, seems like it would be fun.

They're really hard to find at the moment and not too wide but Doom Sayers has an 8.4 x 31.5 14wb shape that i really like. It's somewhat mellow for a bbs deck but still fairly steep so I tend to use mine more for commuting and bombing hills but it's one of the only >8.25 boards I've ever been able to somewhat consistently tre flip.
Also I'm sure it's been mentioned but Pennswood decks are almost always 14" wb. I have an 8.75 scumco logo deck that I bought because it was black and yellow and it's always weird to skate it. It's like driving a hummer body on a miata frame or something

It’s that same video you saw, he just briefly mentions that he was riding the 8.8 before his current 8.5
Also just remembered, I don’t think anyone has mentioned business and co. in this thread yet. They make an 8.5 with a 14.1 or maybe 14 flat fairly regularly

Yeah, they still make that one. Deathwish offers that size too. I've only skated a Deathwish that size, but really enjoyed it. More of those in my future for sure.
They make an 8.5x32 with 14.5 wb as well. Ours also pretty good, but I prefer the 14.25 wb.

“True” wheelbase is 14.675 (per Firebert), so these should indeed be left out of a small wheelbase discussion.
Parade’s 14.38 for the double shovel is true. Heroin wb is measured from edge to edge of mounting holes as opposed to middle of the hole so add ~.25 to get the mid-hole wb.

I wouldn’t write this is stone.. my 9.25” was accurate to the listing. Center of hole to center. Not sure if saying +.25” across the line is true.. could be different for the eggs versus the popsicles versus the bigger mutant shapes?

True wheelbase is 14.675 (thank you Firebert), so these should indeed be left out of a small wheelbase discussion.
Parade’s 14.38 for the double shovel is true. Heroin wb is measured from edge to edge of mounting holes as opposed to middle of the hole so add ~.25 to get the mid-hole wb.
For sure, not tryna say applying a blanket ~0.25 every time you see a Heroin wb is the move, but it’s important to keep in mind, especially when considering a small wheelbase thread. Measuring edge to edge is easier to do so I don’t blame Fos.

What’s the consensus on sour decks? Never seen them in person but after this thread I’m liking the sound of the 8.5 specs. Are they steep or mellow? Wood quality as I know they’re jart made? Thinking of finally trying ventures out

i was interested until i saw how mellow the tails are. dont think they would work out for me but a lot of them are listed at 14.1 wb, one 8.75 in the setup thread was measured at 14.25

Interesting to hear. I am kind of leaning towards one of the primitive 8.25 or an April 8.25 that have a 14.0 wb because I really want to try 14.0 out. Would definitely prefer an 8.5 14wb but those seem way too rare.

In person the Gerwer egg has really small kicks fyi. Was considering it a while back when they first had that shape out, but did not like the look and feel in hand of it. Definitely would recommend checking it out in person if possible just to make sure its what you want.
Need that Natas Mason Graphic. Interesting that it says thats the shape mason skates but on his new 9 club episode he said his has a sub 14 wb.

if by small you mean short and med/steep then count me in.
saw the interview this morning, he must be fried. said he rides a production shape, the 8.28, which has a 14.125 wb not sub 14.
maybe he was referring to his element shape cause he said in his pals questions that it was a custom 13.75

And I figured he just was mistaken. He said in the interview his element board was a 13.5 wb. I do wonder what like an 8.25 with 13.75 wb would feel like though

I am riding a 8.5" FA board with 14.25" wheelbase... I never thought about wheelbase until riding this board. It feels really "short" and I love it. I thought I was going to try it out just for fun but now I might turn into one of those ppl who only rides FA/Hockey boards.

Didn't see if it was posted but Blood Wizard 8.5's have been 14.25 with shorter tails for a long time. I think they're changing up their shapes now though.
Also just skated an 8.75x32 14.25 Madness, hopefully they continue making it.

you think itd stick out too far in the back? how much does it taper there?
-
the new one at 9" probably needs a smaller truck, maybe a 149. those fish shapes taper about 0.5" from widest point to the back...and about 0.25 over front truck, so you always get a bit of a magic carpet over front, but thats your steering wheel so should be fine.
this is all my best guess, and I also dont like my trucks flush with the the deck...so, someone else may have better idea on the truck size

Picked up a Fancy Lad deck from the local last night. Everywhere online it said 8.5 with a 14.5wb but in real life it was 14.25 so I snagged it. Every other 8.5 in stock had a 14.5wb and short tail.

Yes, always have been since Trent moved from Brisbane to Sydney and changed up his plan, but the concave is more mellow through the board (flatter than DLX) with kicks that range from mellow to sometimes steep, depending on what you get, and always brown stain, same as Magenta.

It’s only 8.5 but 8.5 is a great width.
https://socalskateshop.com/Baker-Skateboards-Brand-Logo-Foil-Deck-Red-White-85x32.html#!?cc_decks=102375&c=cc_grip-tape
I would be checking on that board because those dimensions just don't add up. Those dimensions do make me think of Alien Workshop decks though, which had super long nose and tail with short wheelbase and overall normal length.
Deck Specs:
Width: 8.5"
Length: 32"
Wheelbase: 14"
Nose: 7.38"
Tail: 7"
Every Baker board I have seen that is 8.5 has had more the 14.5 wheelbase, but the 8.475 size is the short board, same as they have advertised on:
https://bakerskateboards.com/pages/board-construction
SIZE 8.475 8.5
LENGTH 31.875" 32"
WHEEL BASE 14.25" 14.5"
I skated a Deathwish 8.475 and currently on a Baker 8.475 with Venture 5.8 and SF 54mm Radial. Nice balance of everything.

I do wish more 8.5's had 14.25 WB, like Numbers and I think some DLX models. I've recently noticed I prefer 14.25 over 14.5 and could deal with a 14.38 in a pinch.
Not sure if I could go smaller than 14.25 since I run Indys.

IDK if you are opposed to crail wood but currently skating the G033 shape (8.5"x32", 14.25" WB) and it is perfect. Prefer it to the 8.5" AWS and Hockey boards I've skated with similar dimensions.

There’s gonna be a lotta magic in that carpet (assuming theres no taper). Wouldn’t work for me personally but load up speed rings on the inside and it should be good, especially if you already prefer the magic carpet feel.

You mentioned liking the 5.6 on an 8.5 Hockey, so if you were into that you'll be good. Shape is pretty similar, though longer tail and less blunt overall.

I agree .5 is a lot, but Baker boys ran it for years and did some fucked up shit with it. Tommy Sandoval runs a .525 difference too. With speed rings and wider wheels it could definitely be manageable, at least if you’re into the magic carpet feel.

I was tempted by the 8.5" Slave a while back but went with the 8.675 instead, as the shape of the nose/tail was more of what I prefer, compared to the 8.5 being not as "full". I will give it another look since the dims sound like they may be right up my alley! :D
IDK if you are opposed to crail wood but currently skating the G033 shape (8.5"x32", 14.25" WB) and it is perfect. Prefer it to the 8.5" AWS and Hockey boards I've skated with similar dimensions.
I'm not that hyped on Crail wood currently because nearly every board I've recently stood on or bought from them (one 8.5 Chocolate and a 9.25 powerslide shape) was wayyyy too flat/mellow for what I usually like. The tail also felt pretty short, which I wasn't feeling on an 8.5 I had. Maybe there's an 8.5 shape I haven't seen/tried yet, so I can always give them another go. Idk if the G033 was the one I had or not. Appreciate the suggestion!

Still loving my 9" 14.25" Creature stump, my first non BBS deck and it's holding up surprisingly well, even living in my car and semi wet winter seshes, the pop is still there. Have a heroin 9" 14.25 questions call of the wild deck waiting in the wings but the creature still has a lot of life left.

I do wish more 8.5's had 14.25 WB, like Numbers and I think some DLX models. I've recently noticed I prefer 14.25 over 14.5 and could deal with a 14.38 in a pinch.
Not sure if I could go smaller than 14.25 since I run Indys.
Appreciate this thread and everyone adding information to it for us to use!
The Slave 8.5 has a 14.25” WB. I have bought 4 in a row. It’s on BBS as well. As long as the keep making it I am going to keep buying it.
I was tempted by the 8.5" Slave a while back but went with the 8.675 instead, as the shape of the nose/tail was more of what I prefer, compared to the 8.5 being not as "full". I will give it another look since the dims sound like they may be right up my alley! :D

IDK if you are opposed to crail wood but currently skating the G033 shape (8.5"x32", 14.25" WB) and it is perfect. Prefer it to the 8.5" AWS and Hockey boards I've skated with similar dimensions.
I'm not that hyped on Crail wood currently because nearly every board I've recently stood on or bought from them (one 8.5 Chocolate and a 9.25 powerslide shape) was wayyyy too flat/mellow for what I usually like. The tail also felt pretty short, which I wasn't feeling on an 8.5 I had. Maybe there's an 8.5 shape I haven't seen/tried yet, so I can always give them another go. Idk if the G033 was the one I had or not. Appreciate the suggestion!
Yeah, I love flat/mellow boards so those are perfect. The 033 has like a 6.625 tail, not the biggest but in a perfect world they would pull a little more from the WB and make the tail longer.
-
anyone know hows crail wood these days? i kinda want a couch shape for the short wheelbase, anybody got a review on those shape wise?
-
Loved my couch shape, could do all my regular tricks on it the day I set it up. New wood is not as bad as their old wood, and not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I actually like it and it doesn’t bag out after exactly 14 days like some other brand whose name I won’t mention ;)
-
I skated a loveseat (9" couch) last spring and I have another one on ice. The shape itself is great. The nose and tail are super long and have a ton of flat, so it doesn't feel cramped for ollies over stuff or whatever while still having the responsiveness of a short WB. When I had Aces on it, it had such a good manual point that even a nitwit like me could hold them forever.
The new Craig wood feels nice...light, stiff, and doesn't sog out BUT it pressure cracks during the first session. My current one had multiple pressure cracks on the nose and tail as well after a few weeks of skating. The board still feels nice and snappy, so it seems cosmetic. Im a low impact guy but also just shy of 200lbs, so that probably plays into it.

They are not on par with BBS but I don't think they would break on anything that other companies wouldn't as well. In other words IMO don't be scared bud.

Deck is definitely going to have a med/steep tail. For tail length probably around 6 5/8"? I don't know yet, gotta draft a shape.

I based it off this Dogtown tech deck I had, which was very similar to a shape I already had but skinnier. I'm planning to drill an additional ~14.5" wheelbase later on so I don't completely die on transition.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'll be sure to update when I finally get it setup.
As for the wheels recommendations:
- Slimeballs might work, but I can't find anything 99a-101a
- I have Speedlabs currently! Great but not the best (doesn't have good flatspot resistance), plus not the width I'm looking for (58mm-60mm with wide riding surface)
- Those OJs seem great, but out of stock everywhere :( 97a seems a bit too soft for my purposes.
I might settle for F4 OGs just to play it safe, unless I can find something else.

I'm more so lamenting that exact fact, that I wish there were more options of wide pops with 14.18 and under WBs (14.25 is more a midlength WB IMHO). That's why I'm thankful for the biz&co 8.49 decks, except it seems like they're messing around with that formula...

I have one in the stack. I’ll measure it when I get home. The 14.25 wheelbase was one of the main reasons I got it.
I just measured both the 8.5 and 8.375 5boro and they are both 14.5. Bummer

which would make for a really short nose and tail I think?
I think Geoff talks mentions this shape on his nine club stop and chat. He says that he was skating it. I think the shorter measurements are correct
edit: solstice is saying it's 32.12

Since I know we were all losing sleep over it, I went ahead and grabbed one. It measures just under 32" The 14.25 WB is accurate.

8.8 x 31.125 and 14.25 wb
which would make for a really short nose and tail I think?
I think Geoff talks mentions this shape on his nine club stop and chat. He says that he was skating it. I think the shorter measurements are correct
edit: solstice is saying it's 32.12

They might be measuring with the tape pressed against the board, which i think is more accurate, especially lengthways. Otherwise the length is going to be shorter if the kicks are steeper etc

It can't be to hard to make a medium to steep deck that's..
8.75-9 inches wide
32 inches long
14-14.25 wb
Please and thank you.
If my order of uncut decks actually ship, I got this.
Over a month later, did it. Kind of...

9.38" (fuck, wanted it to be 9") x 31.5
14" wb
I set this up to test, but I can feel I'm going to be sick of it by the end of this week :v Doesn't help that I went ahead of myself and cut 3 of these.
I also need to redo my template and make it better by not making it so wide and making it less square.
i want if youre selling samples, that snowboard shape looks like fun
@off I keep forgetting to reply to this :'( I have one deck not set up and one deck set up and skated for one session (the deck pictured). If you're still interested and in the contiguous US, DM me and we can figure something out.

That shape looks great. Definitely would like to hear how it feels. Are you gonna rock 5.6 or 5.8? Sadly I don’t think it’s a regular in the lineup. From my understanding it seems like aws/habitat have a few standard sizes they put out in every drop with more standard wheelbases and then every once in a while I will see something like this a different shape with a shorter wb. Like I know they occasionally do an 8.5 with a 14wb.

I should have visited this thread sooner!
Was tempted to get that R7 Madness flip deck but stumbled on the AWS OG repeater (blind luck really) the shorter WB is what sold me...tho that R7 with steep kicks is still calling me.

I'm more so lamenting that exact fact, that I wish there were more options of wide pops with 14.18 and under WBs (14.25 is more a midlength WB IMHO). That's why I'm thankful for the biz&co 8.49 decks, except it seems like they're messing around with that formula...
I was eyeing the 8.49x31.7 but the dims seem suspect so I'm not willing to blind buy...and noe details on the WB that I can find...

@Xen figuring out if im going through with the purchase, going to ask some shops how steep the tails are before its finalized.
might just have to get the madness if the aws is mellow

I love this shape....Dimensions measure true! No stickers, dot/indent or laser engraving on the top, but there is a circle/dimple on the bottom (center of truck holes). Magenta stain middle ply. DEEP concave Medium kicks; not quite 2 fingers of flat.
FAT nose, appears more blunt/wide in person, photo makes it feel like it's super long.

I just checked and they do have some Doom Sayers listed as 8.5x31.5 with a 14.125wb. If those dims are accurate that’s a great one for this thread.
Edit: doom sayers actual website lists them as 8.5x31.75 14.25wb, still not bad.

Even better, they have a bunch of sizes in stock to reference. Jakeumms is right, 14.25 on the 8.25, 8.38 and 8.5 are 14.375, 8.6 is 14.625, and 8.75 is 14.75. I appreciate the help y’all!

There's a Japanese shop called "R-F SKATE" that list the measurements on most boards. You just have to use google for translate and convert cm to in (unless you know Japanese, or use cm).

Some new DLX boards coming out with much shorter wheelbases than usual, Real floral graphics or something, but definitely trying new shapes and shorter length and wheelbase options.

Not a perfect match, but right in the middle, the Hockey Donovan 8.38 shape has a 14.12 wb, about 31.875 overall. I pick this shape up 99% of the time because I'm in the same boat (looking for a squared 8.5" with a 14" wb) and it suffices.
-
noticed i have a few boards in better shape than my current one, so i set up one of the old ones and then also did a bearing cleaning and all. it happens to be a 917 that measures 8.38 with a 14 inch wheelbase, but still probably almost 32 inches? so pretty long tail and nose. i remember this skating pretty good. i just pushed around on it and did a few ollies and it pops way easier than my old baker og 8.25 with a 14.25 wheelbase on ventures 5.6. no idea what that 917 board is even called or where it was made, i just assumed it was bbs back when i bought it but didn't do all the checks.
edit: i forgot, i also found an old lurkville 8.5 that measured a 14.1 wheelbase, doesn't seem to be warped. i remember keeping this to shape it into a cruiser, but maybe i just set up a second board with the 149 indys i have laying around in parts.

Not a perfect match, but right in the middle, the Hockey Donovan 8.38 shape has a 14.12 wb, about 31.875 overall. I pick this shape up 99% of the time because I'm in the same boat (looking for a squared 8.5" with a 14" wb) and it suffices.
I just picked one of these up as well figuring that it would be close enough to an 8.5 14 wb. Haven’t set it up yet, but laying it on top of a dlx 8.5, the fa 8.38 is actually just as wide if not wider overall

That too. I had one from a few drops ago, the cobra graphic, and it was pretty much an 8.5.

Willing to bet this will be a good contender:

Also doom sayers 8.4 shovel nose is a good option! Anyone know the wheelbase of 8.25 square DOAs?

In my experiences, DOA 8.25 have all been 14.25 wb .

I know Santa Cruz isn’t the most well liked brand around here, but they’ve been putting in a lot of effort with their short wb wide decks. Seeing this one in action is pretty sick
at least im forced to cool guy it and act like i dont know about my setup
I'm actually trying for find some DSM/NHS boards as the Alien WS I'm riding feels dead/waterlogged after just couple of weeks (just returned the two I had on ice); I've tried different bearings/wheels/bushings/picot cups, the usual suspects and it's just soggy feeling.

Bummed really, love the shape but it just feels dead (more so than usual). But, I also think I'm (as noted) partial to DSM/NHS/Girl/China Wood. So I nabbed this as DSM R7s are tits:

8.5x31.95x14.25"
What I noticed w/the AWS, which I was starting to suspect all along (for the last few boards at 14"/14.1"wb and 31.75"31.8"), is that shorter boards/WB have my front foot creeping up into the front pocket all the time and it feels like I'm mobbing my board; my stance must just be wide so I'm bumping the overall length and WB a notch and sizing down a hair in width from the 8.625"
It's funny, the width I never skate are 8.5" or boards that are 32" - I either go 8.375 or 8.75...it's probably my goldilocks and I just ignore it...but then again, I only used to skate 14.3x WB ;)

The nice thing about 8.5 w/14.25wb is that you have dozens of decks and manus to choose from. You can go into pretty much any decent shop and you could find that size.

It is pretty common - I hit my local up first today, they didn't have any 8.5" with short WBs - pretty slim pickins.
But, I'm also partial to Dwindle wood: Almost/Enjoi/Blind/Darkstar/Madness or NHS/Santa Cruz/Creature - Madness and Creature being the only brands out of them that do short pops, short meaning under 32" with smaller WBs); Almost and Enjoi are always 32.1" or 32.2" for whatever fucking reason.
I loathe the way BBS/PS feel right out of the gate. They're great/fine decks I just like stupidly crispy/stiff boards. The last 8.5" I rode was the DLX 8.5x31.85x14.25 is was fine except for that soft wood feel (in comparison to the epoxy based boards).

Anyone know the WB on the Justin Henry 8.5 board? Hoping for a 14.25..
Also anyone know a shop carrying them? I found it at PLA but I’m hoping to find a shop with quasi and FA/Hockey to do a side by side as to which I like better.

Thanks Brim, I ended up ordering that same JH board and another Quasi as well as 2 FA’s. I’ve just given up on 8.5 14in wb with that shape. I skate fine on the 14.25 i need to stop convincing myself I gotta change shit up haha.

sweet. What trucks are you riding? I picked up the JHenry slick and gonna run 149 Ti's to shorten the WB.
-
I run venture 5.8s. They feel the best to me.

Once I get back at work or get cleared for disability, I might cop that Alien Zen is running. I wanna run my 5.6 ventures on it. I like a good magic carpet ride so, should be fun.
If it's too much, I'll just grab some new trucks. Been on the 8.25 train, but can't help but wanting to switch it up. We'll see.

Anyone ridden the theories special delivery shape?

Also side note, I know 8.5 isnt that wide but for anybody looking for 8.5s with 14.25 wb that arent FA/Hockey id suggest checking alien's and habitat's websites, they got a couple nice ones.

is habitat/aws still ps or have they moved to bbs

Just spotted the dimensions on this Madness board and kinda tempted.

8.75 x 31.95
Wb 14.25
Nose 6.65
Tail 6.5
Mellow concave, steep kick
https://www.oldskullskateboards.com/madness-skin-flip-r7-deck-8-75/
Bought this yesterday. It's 31.95 if you stretch the tape end to end, more like 32.25 if it hugs the board. Also the shop i bought it from was wrong about the kicks, i would describe them as mellow. Also the nose is less snubby and squarish than i expected but I'm not mad. (https://i.ibb.co/DL18WgQ/dav.jpg) (https://ibb.co/qxDWjFp)

I'm curious about Jawn Gardner's custom pro shape that's 8.8" wide with a 14" wb. I know he likes skating Creature's stump shapes, but that's even stumpier than usual.
Would it be too weird to ride for transition and such?

I think it’d be great in transition. Nice and wide but the short wb would let you turn pretty sharply. I really enjoy transition on a 14.25 wb and I’m sure 14 is great too, especially with the wider deck

Cool. I've always been under the impression a longer wheelbase was good for transition. But regardless, I'm a short dude, so anything 14.25 and shorter is always welcomed.

I have a feeling those specs are a little off, I’ve noticed nhs posted dims are always a little different than the actual ones. Maybe we measure differently. But the nose and tail lengths seem to not match up for me usually.

It has a sticker that says “Classic Creature Concave” so if you’re familiar with nhs decks at all then it’s gonna be pretty much the same as those. My experience is they tend to be a bit more on the steep side especially in the kicks. Haven’t skated one in a long time but I’ve held plenty and seen them in person regularly
Looks like a sick shape to me. I’ve kind of always imagined a board like that. Short, wide and twin tail. Curious to see if anyone picks one up and what they think

Didn't realize that the Creature Stumps 8.5 is the same dimension as the Quasi decks I like to ride - 8.5W x 32L x 14.25 WB. Didn't realize how long their WBs usually are.

Tactics and Skate Warehouse will let you search their decks by size and wheelbase. Quick look shows the Heroin Craig Questions Giallo deck is 8.75 with 14.5 wb, same for the Blood Wizard Kowalski Dragon Slayer.

thx guys also yeah good point but ive had to resort to longer wheelbases cause of the board drought, hopefully the af1 can reduce the wheelbase enough so it doesnt feel too off from what im used to

Been skating a madness, but had to settle for an 8.75/14.25 and I really don't like skating under a 9". The wood is really good but the tail is a bit mellow for my liking.
I tried the dead dave double shovel for one session and did not like it at all, the tail was too stubby and the wood just felt dead, maybe cause it's dipped? The stubby tail with the shovel shape made it feel like my foot was falling off the tail when setting up. I think I 've been spoiled lately with the china wood being super crispy, going back to BBS, they feel dull/heavy?
I miss my 9" creature stump, the tail was the steepness I liked, and stayed pretty crispy throughout. Creature replied to me in IG that a stump drop was coming soon, but that was like 3 weeks ago. I really like the Gardner spook for the wheelbase but I know 8.8 at the widest point means it's gonna be like 8.5 at the bolts.

I love this shape....Dimensions measure true! No stickers, dot/indent or laser engraving on the top, but there is a circle/dimple on the bottom (center of truck holes). Magenta stain middle ply. DEEP concave Medium kicks; not quite 2 fingers of flat.
FAT nose, appears more blunt/wide in person, photo makes it feel like it's super long.

After skating an old 8.65 X 32.25 wknd board, I decided to order the last of this Alien shape on SW (they are located in my town). Pretty excited to skate it. Thinking of setting up my ventures and 54 conicals with it but worried it might be too heavy. Might trade out the conicals in general because they heavy.

I’m on a Quasi 9.0 football shape right now with Thunder 151s and am loving it. I’ll likely try to get another Quasi 9.0 at some point, but if they’re sold out, was thinking of a Girl LoveSeat. Anyone know if 151s will fit alright? The Girl deck doesn’t look like it tapers as much as the Quasi.

I got some classic Ace 66s, and had them on my cruising/downhill board, but really want to taste them in a slappy.
So I got an uncut black, and am making a 31.5 x 9.4 (14 wb, couldn’t get anything longer) twin shovel.
Really excited about it.

I've been thinking a wideboi twin shovel with a short wheelbase would be neat. Look forward to hearing how it turns out.

If you saw my post in the setups thread I was kind of skeptical because of the length and WB shorter than 14.25. I did a small sesh in my garage though and it was hella fun to ride!!
Gonna hopefully scoop up one more. I have a bunch of money wrapped up in crypto, or I'd buy at least two more. Hope Alien keeps producing this shape.

Bringing in this from the Set-up thread as well. Rolled around on it and it feels good. Going to take this to the park later today or tomorrow morning.

that board looks so much fun. really tempted to get one. plus 8.5 that is short was always a dream type shape for me.

I really wanted to try one, but the 31.5" L x 14" WB just won't work for me - I bet it's killer for the shorter legged people tho.

So I got a quick session in at the park — riding strictly transition — and boy oh boy was this board different. A good different, but still, different as there were lots of factors to overcome:
Came from my TOPX 8.75 which was full shaped — squared off nose tail — so the tapered TT took time to get used to as I always felt my toes were hanging to far off which made me feel squirrely.
Going from that board's 14.75WB to a 14WB, my stance felt too wide, so I had too much weight at the nose which made me feel like I'd tip over.
On the other hand, the short WB made me feel like I zipped around tighter turns and corners.
Seeing that I went from worn in 97a Spitfire F4 to 99a OJ hardline, the wheels made me feel like I was hitting those corners at even a faster speed.
And add to that the new hard wheels feeling vs. the slighty softer wheel, when I'd tend out to slide a touch more as the 97a wheels felt like they gripped A LOT more. I can only imagine the slippage I'd feel if I went 101a.
Popped an ollie and it felt like an ollie. Tried a kickflip and it felt like the shorter WB and tapered nose helped my flick go faster — still primo'd and slammed my shin, just faster this time.
Overall, I'm liking this set up and am going to take it for another session at the same park tomorrow.

From the WKND website about the new shape. Grant is a slap lurker confirmed. Might just have to try this out even though I have so many decks in the pile still

I’m pretty stoked to try them. Ordered 2 we will see if this in fact is what i have been searching for.

Not sure if it's in their current line up but skating a 917 8.5 slick with a 14.18 wheelbase at the moment. Really good shape.

From my research DSM tend to be almost always steep kicks but differ in concave (steep or mellow).
On the topic of Evisen, they have some interestingly short dimensions. 8 x 31.2 x 14, who the hell can ride such short trucks? Anecdotal evidence suggests that Theeve are somewhat cheaper in Japan, so maybe the brand designed super short board to pair with a truck that sucks the wheels in more?

the japanese are historically on the shorter side so maybe it works? a lot of pals here love the dane1 with aces which isnt much longer so maybe its a short leg thing...
cant get anything under 31.6 to work for my lanky ass legs but riding a compact setup seems cool/practical

You guys need to thank Trevor Thompson if I remember correctly. I think Alexis Sablone mentioned in her Bunt interview that Trevor became WB and Grant didn't care.
Didn't Schmidt say that Priceyhot dude wanted a wide board with short WB?
Doesn't really matter, pretty tight regardless the case.

It’s a combination of Trevor Thompson and Matt Price (board shape is 8.5mp MP=Matt Price) Matt was riding trevors board which I think is 8.25 and wanted a wider board and Shcmitt made him a 8.5x14in wb. That’s what I’ve gathered from posts on IG. I appreciate everyone involved can’t wait to skate mine.

Haha I didn't think of it until I was driving to work right after. Meant to delete but fuck it. It flipped really well, I have to say. Better than my Alien that's 8.6 and 14.1 WB.
Thanks for being chill tho, I was expecting to come back to some aggro post!

I’ll be waiting to read the report. I’ve been wanting one.
I’m kinda doing the thing: chasing. I’d most likely be better off on a 8”ish board/trucks, but my favorite deck rn is 8.5 with ace classic 55s. Kickflips are the best, treflips are not happening tho. I tend to go on some weird gear missions trying to find the perfect, instead of just sticking with a general size. Not helpful, but kinda fun.
Anyways, trying not to order one of these MP’s

Anyone who ordered the wknd MP shape got an update? Getting really tempted to pull the trigger on one. Really like the look of the shape but also really do not need another board right now

Yes, first run sold out in an instant, second run shipping now it seems. The distances were asked and it is .38" between each (same as the Indy / standard 6 hole baseplate) but a whole lot easier to use.
Just checked and he now has two versions, the .38 red and the .25 black which is pretty cool.

Definitely gonna swoop up the 1/4 one when they release. I’m also curious on the sheet that comes with it. I started reading what was shown on the Insta and it was talking about just moving one truck on and the pros and cons of moving just one truck in. Which is the kind of nerdery I want to read.

curious to know what boards you guys are going to redrill.....im thinking of doing the creature stumps 8.8 with a 14" wb.
only think i worry about redrilling is ending up with a crazy long nose but it shouldnt be the case for this shape

Splitting hairs, but wheelbase on a deck should actually be called truckbase. True wheelbase is the distance between the centers of the wheels, which changes depending on what trucks you ride, and will actually be in the 17"+ range.

I just ordered the 1/4" version, planning to just use it on the boards I have on hand, so some 8.5 Quasi and FA boards.
Reading that disclaimer though about the 1/4" version wonder if I'd be better off with the 3/8" version.
-
I got the 1/4" version. The notice about the integrity of going less than 3/8" got me kind of second guessing myself, but 1/2" is hardly more. I am going to use it on my Cody Chapman Uma toenail, bring the WB in 1/2" to make it 13.875".

I’m confused on the 3/8. So if you have a 14.5 wb and bring it in 3/8 on one side you end at 14.125 which sounds amazing. But that’s only one truck. If you brought both in that’s 13.75wb. So if you only move one truck in that 3/8. Would you bring in the nose or tail in? Would that throw anything off? I really want one but I can’t wrap my head around if it would mess me up. But the 1/4 one I understand if you have 14.5wb bring each side in .250 and you end with a 14wb.

its up to you, really. for me, the nose on the board i plan to do it on feels rather short so im gonna bring it in a bit. just be careful if you get the 0.25in tool because its recommended to have atleast 0.375 of space in between the holes.

Update on the WKND 14in WB/8.5
Had my first session yesterday. Gotta say I really like the board, it feels easier to maneuver real snappy. Flip tricks definitely felt easier. I landed like 10-15 360 flips which is usually too much effort for me to bother with. I managed to film a line too which was an added bonus.

Amazing slide marks. This has sold me on the board. Hoping one of the shops where I live gets them otherwise shipping will be a bit expensive :/

I know 8.5 isn't wide, but it's what I skate. hadn't paid much attention to different wheelbases until I got the madness here and decided that 14.5 was what worked for me... that is until I skated a 14.25 for a few weeks. Now I can't pop my brand new polar 8.5 14.5 WW for shiieeeeeeet. I reckon that's called ghost pop?

IF you live in the US they have free shipping over $120, so I just bought 2. I think they are just online right now, not sure if shops have them. Maybe if they sell a lot this drop? Pure speculation no facts backing that up.

Fixed that for ya, those are my dream dimensions on a 8.25 especially with Ventures.
JK - the 8.5 dimensions look interesting too, wouldn't mind sizing up at that length and WB.
Will they still do full SE board or are these the replacement of those?

Curious to hear what your nollies/switch poppers off the nose will be like now that the beak is longer and FA's noses are so goddamn steep - I wonder if it will make them easier... Report back pls.

You will be able to noseslide anything and everything! That tool is an amazing invention.

I brought this home today. Anti-Hero Beach Bum. 9.5" x 30.44", 14.2" wb.

I had to grab one too. Shape looks like so much fun couldn’t pass it up.
I’m a tall dude(6’5”) and a little worried it might not work for me.

curious to know what boards you guys are going to redrill.....im thinking of doing the creature stumps 8.8 with a 14" wb.
only think i worry about redrilling is ending up with a crazy long nose but it shouldnt be the case for this shape
Just ordered the 3/8 tool. I'm redrilling a Deathwish steep concave board with a 14.25 WB. The tail has about 1.5 fingers of flat and I have Venture highs on it, so I'm getting ghost pop like crazy. Kickflips are so inconsistent.
Going to redrill the tail only and that'll bring my wheelbase in to 13.875. Stoked.
There really should be a greater variety of wheelbases. I'm 5'7 with relatively short legs, even for my height. I tend to ollie and do flip tricks with my feet closer together than most people so even a 14.25 WB feels long.

Making this 14.5in wheelbase to a 14.0in wheelbase totally changes the life and feel of this deck i didn’t like at first. i highly recommend you guys pick one up

Really excited to hear about how the boards feel after drilling the wheel base back.
Especially pros/cons of just doing nose or just the tail

Tired skateboards has some wide board with small wb.

Really excited to hear about how the boards feel after drilling the wheel base back.
for me, i hated this 8.5in welcome big bunyip shaped deck with a 14.5in wheelbase. it felt like a boat and was so sluggish. but since i moved the back trucks forward closer to the front trucks, it shortened the wheelbase to 14in, and it changed my opinion of this deck completely. its a game changer honestly. s/o to Will at my local shop for telling me about it

So you just did the back truck? And what made you decide back truck instead of front or splitting the difference? Sorry for the questions. I’m planning on getting one and really curious

I think i need to pick up that wb tool. It'll probably make me regret selling off my bobby TT with the 14.4 wheelbase. I coulda made that ting have a longer nose had I known about this tool a year ago...

i did only the back truck because it makes for a quicker pop on the tail because of the lesser amount of distance the tail needs to travel to hit the ground. not only because of this, but because it isn't recommended to drill 0.25 inches next to the already existing drill holes. I drilled both sides 0.5inches closer but only moved the back truck up closer because if i did the same for the front trucks, i would have a 13.5inch wheelbase which is a bit too much. 14in is already pretty carvy/squirrelly as it is. if you want to move both trucks closer, you should get the 0.375in increments tool instead.
-
Hmm, this has me intrigued for this board. The tail feels very short, measures almost exactly .5" shorter than the nose, so they would be roughly equal and would bring the wheelbase to just under 14.2"

Had my first session on it today. I haven’t skated a FA since they switched to generator so I don’t have a the best frame of reference to compare, but I felt like it skated totally normal. I really like it, sw/nollie felt good. Not the most in depth explanation I know but if anyone has specific questions just let me know.

I skate Santa Cruz 8.8 usually but with the 14.25 wheelbase and 31.95 length and it’s fire. I have big feet and need a wide board but I don’t like the majority of boards around that width because the wheelbase is way too long. Wide wheelbases cause me to have more difficulty popping my tricks without ghost pop. The wide board with short wheelbase has honestly been clutch ever since I discovered them.

New deal reissues coming in at 8.875 x 32 14wb. Shape looks very eggy and is apparently the exact era appropriate shape. Might have more concave considering it’s dwindle but possibly not. Definitely looks interesting

Just tried out my Chems WB tool for the first time, and it was nice and easy. I bought a $lave WarPig and re-drilled it from 14.5" to 14", 9.5" at the widest point. Going to set it up tomorrow and will post pics.

Ace 44 classic, three washers inside each wheel, Indy super soft bottoms
Ace 1/8" risers and 1/16" shock pads
56mm F4 Conical Full
Jessup, Reds, Shorty's
I had ordered a Dane 1 but the shop doesn't seem to want to send it, so I got this as a consolation prize.
Redrilled the WB with the Chems tool since 14.5" is longer than I like. Also made my first sad attempt at a surf stripe. I got to skate it for an hour and so far I love it, feels good to have put the 44s on and not bugged out thinking I needed new trucks.
-
Just got a Quasi 8.5 with 14.25 wheelbase. Gonna run it on Ace 55's, stoked about this setup! I've been on 8.0-8.125 for the past year and while I love them, I mainly did it for the short WB.

The eternal paradox of enjoi, great riders getting bizarre graphics. Would love to try that shape though

stuck between that enjoi, the madness egg, the regular 9 enjoi R7 popsicle and the dressen board for my thunder 151s.
Regardless I am allowing chinese woodshops into my life with open arms after countless good reviews on here
edit: Also as I don't ride aces or 159s it feels wrong for me but there are a couple Dane 1s on Parade right now. Do what you want with that. I'm gonna wait for the fall/winter drop

This clip. I only noticed because I saw he responded to someone asking what size he rides and he said this was a 9. I’m just wondering if 5.8s are wide enough for a 9 bc I just got some v hollow 5.8s finally and have yet to use them.

They work but 6.1s are way better imo. I might have a picture of both to show you the difference. If I do I will post them for you.

There are two DLX 8.5s. The one with the short wb that you're talking about is 31.8 long. The 32.25 has a longer wheelbase. I agree that their dimensions seem weird sometimes but they make so many different shapes so I guess it all works out.

The normal concave and especially the kicks of Santa Cruz are quite steep compared to the average more mellow BBS board (not counting FA / Hockey and similar) but maybe not something that is too hard to get used to, as lots of people ride and enjoy that wood.
Personal preference has a lot to do with it though and they feel very different when standing on them side by side (Santa Cruz vs Alien Workshop or similar BBS deck).

My local has this Creature deck I'm interested in. I've never ridden anything over an 8.25 but I'll be 38 in a couple weeks and decided to go with a proper slappy/transition setup instead of my current 8" being my main. Having issues with uploading pictures but dimensions are 8.8 x 31.46 x 14 with nose 6.89 and tail 6.4 and shaped like an early 90's deck.

The one I’m looking at isn’t a pro model, it’s a power ply or something like that but looks like the same shape. I looked up that Gardner on a couple sites and it says it’s a twin tail. Any truth to that?

Yeah that’s the one. Not really hyped on the graphic but the shape looks really good. I like 14” wheelbases and sub 31.5 length.

Wide board + short WB skaters truly are the most oppressed minority
every couple days for the last year or so, i would open my skateshop bookmarks hoping on a new "unicorn", filter by width and wheelbase, and close my phone in disgust in that order.
"you want a small wheelbase? ride an 8, bigfoot!" i can hear these screams in ever waking nightmare.
this thread is for the dozens of us (as the industry sees it) to discuss the dozen of options that are left, experiences with said boards/setups, new developments for the cause, etc. most importantly to put our collective foot down in hopes for wheelbase equality.
(8.5 and up, 14.25 and below)
@Pretty_rad makes any size and shape you want but specializes in 9"+ decks with 14"wb. his boards come with 14" wb unless you want something different.
heroin craig questions video city deck is a 9.3"x 31.3" 14.1" wb, Girl couch and love seat decks. but the Chem skate Wb tool opens up the option to skate any brands deck
Chems skate WB tool is a must have is you like riding a smaller wb on bigger boards.
i have a wb tool from chems skate which can bring in the wb with .25" increments. so i buy any board i want now and just redrill the truck holes to be 14" wb or 13.9" wb. also allows me to add a little nose to old schools so i can nollie and nose slide.

Since you are using the .25 increment jig have you noticed any structure type issues with the redrilled roll holes being close to the pre drilled? I want the .25 but debating on getting the bigger one idk.

I had it and I would recommend it. Skates more like an 8.25. Too Steep of a tail and nose for my taste but very fin board. I have stage 8, Indy 146s on it.

My local has this Creature deck I'm interested in. I've never ridden anything over an 8.25 but I'll be 38 in a couple weeks and decided to go with a proper slappy/transition setup instead of my current 8" being my main. Having issues with uploading pictures but dimensions are 8.8 x 31.46 x 14 with nose 6.89 and tail 6.4 and shaped like an early 90's deck.
Is it the Gardner Ghosts pro model?
There are a couple of pics in the Egg shaped boards thread, link here:
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=100279.msg3582678;topicseen#msg3582678
Others have said it is a good one.
The one I’m looking at isn’t a pro model, it’s a power ply or something like that but looks like the same shape. I looked up that Gardner on a couple sites and it says it’s a twin tail. Any truth to that?
Yes to being a twin tail, but I guess they would have sold out pretty quickly.
And I agree with you on that graphic. Might have been one or more of those decks that people have sprayed over in either the setup thread, big boards or here, but I cannot recall.
Stickers or a can of paint are easy fixes for a good shape with a bad graphic.

I’ve pretty much talked myself into picking it up but I’m out of town right now so it will have to wait. Although seeing the dimensions on that new chocolate Chris Roberts deck had me thinking about having them order me one of those. I’m a sucker for how flat Crail boards are.

Since you are using the .25 increment jig have you noticed any structure type issues with the redrilled roll holes being close to the pre drilled? I want the .25 but debating on getting the bigger one idk.
I had a conversation about this a while back, with these results:
If you drill it in towards the middle, there is no difference as the holes would be under the truck and unless you have some crazy hard landings on the end of the kick (usually the nose, if that was the end drilled in) then it also would not cause any other issues there. Similarly on the tail, the truck baseplate will usually overlap the holes enough to not have much pressure over the old holes, so will not weaken the deck.
The other side of it, drilling it out further (not really relevant in this thread for shorter wheelbases but will say it anyway) could weaken it a bit but usually the truck edge is the point at which the board will break, even it if cracks the top ply only, it still was caused by the flex and the pressure of the truck underneath it, so just the two holes by themselves would not cause too much structural weakness on their own.
It is a bit close when you look at it, but I will take a pic of a board with .25 difference that is double drilled when I can for you to see as well.
-
So this is the double drilled board, the difference is actually more like .3" so not .25" and definitely a bit closer than .38" which most 6 hole baseplates are.
I think the .25" would be pretty close to breaking through if it hit hard enough into something, eg shoot the board into a curb hitting the truck full on, but at least one guy I know who did a .25" redrill didn't have issues with it and skated his modified deck for a long time under normal conditions.

I wouldn't recommend redrilling if you tend hang up/smash your truck in to curbs. I've redrilled one of my decks and the mounting holes are close to breaking through after a couple of sessions.

That is interesting to see.
Is it just the top / bottom layer or two or does it go right down through some or all layers?
Also are we looking at the top or bottom and how much difference is it between holes - 1/2 or 3/8" or less?
Curious and interested to see / hear about it.
Thanks!

I have used a six hole baseplate to redrill, so the difference is around 0.4".

Had a similar thing happened when I redrilled a WB 1/2" back. Also ended up with a crazy diagonal pressure crack on the top that went from the front truck to the back about 2 plies deep. This is all after a few days of very mellow slappy skating, albeit in very hot and humid weather.

I know I have seen some rough drilling that caused a few issues, not that this is the case here, but one guy blew out two or three layers when he went too hard drilling through, took out about an inch round one of the bolts, which shouldn't happen anyway.
Since that time, I always try to be a bit lighter on the downward pressure if I do have to redrill a deck.
The six hole baseplates are good to use to drill out the 3/8" which I would have thought to be far enough, but as said, some forceful slappies and it puts a lot more pressure on the deck too.

havent had any issues so far and i drill my wheelbase in so if i were to shoot my board out and jam my trucks it would just be pushing away from the 2nd hole. i can post pics of my deck if people want to show the spacing.

Yep there are a few actually and it can get quite confusing if you don't know which board graphic is on which shape, but this was one of the "shorter wheelbase series", as people had been asking for them, even slightly shorter wheelbases but not shorter length overall, which can make a big difference.
This is the standard (shorter) 8.5 also from Tactics as they have everything showing right now, which seems about right:
https://www.tactics.com/real/team-classic-oval-85-skateboard-deck
SIZE 8.5
WIDTH (IN): 8.5
LENGTH (IN): 31.8
WHEELBASE (IN): 14.25
NOSE (IN): 6.75
TAIL (IN): 6.5
I know some people love it, but I found the tail too short for my liking on this shape. Amazing what a couple of mm can do in things like wheelbase or tail length.
For reference only, this is the other more common board with 14.38 wb:
https://www.tactics.com/real/renewal-doves-redux-85-skateboard-deck
SIZE 8.5
WIDTH (IN): 8.5
LENGTH (IN): 32.25
WHEELBASE (IN): 14.38

TAIL (IN): 6.5 * (mine measures more at 6.625)

Dunno if this is considered a short wheelbase, but anyone tried the polar 8.625 popsicle? Says 14.375 wheelbase (although the polar 8.5 is listed as 14.5 and measures 14.375).

8.25 x 32.125 x 14 - double checked both mounting holes to verify the WB and it was a 14". Medium concave and kicks, got me excited to set it up.

I kinda get what your asking but just to clarify - since Polar consistently lists their decks as having bigger wheelbases then they actually have, is the 8.625 really 14.38 or is it also actually shorter? Do I have that right? I have wondered this myself ever since I measured a 14.5 at 14.38. Apologize if I'm putting words in your mouth. Anybody have a Polar 8.625 to measure?

I skated the Boserio one from a few drops back. Measurements were accurate, I didn’t really like the shape tbh, tail was too tapered and overall a bit mellow for my liking.

Just set up a Dane1 (9.75 with 14.125wb) and some ace classics, true wheelbase is actually so short now, not sure if I like it I’ll see how it goes. Got an 8.25 with a longer wheelbase than this.

Just setup a Santa Cruz deck that’s 9” with a 14.25 wheelbase and it’s fantastic.
Running it on ventures right now but it’s a little bit magic carpet but could probably be fixed with a few washers

I asked and the answer was Woodchuck and BBS, depending on which board graphic / run.
Those dimensions listed seem weird though, with it not being 32 long, or definitely having longer wheelbase or kicks than as shown.

Anyone skated a Madness 8.75 and have word on how steep they are and what the shape/concave is like? Dims look good, thinking of copping if they are close to Hockey steepness.
There are longer and shorter Madness 8.75 decks, so I am going to go with this one as this is the shorter wheelbase thread.
https://www.tactics.com/madness/creeper-875-r7-skateboard-deck/holographic
WIDTH (IN): 8.75
LENGTH (IN): 31.95
WHEELBASE (IN): 14.25
NOSE (IN): 6.65
TAIL (IN): 6.5
One other website has this, which would be stamped with the dimensions on those decks:
Mellow concave
Medium kick
Being Dwindle R7 mold, to me this is anything but mellow concave and medium kicks, but if you are coming off a Hockey / FA deck, I guess anything might be a little more mellow than those boards.
R7 is very crispy, no give at all, compared to BBS wood which has some flex to it, so you are probably going to feel that more so than the concave, as per others who skate the R7 boards and love them.
Apart from the differences in concave from the different woodshops, the board itself seems like it would be a good one for a wider deck with a shorter wheelbase.

Good looks! I blind ordered it before I saw the catalog but I'm honestly pretty pysched to check it out. Looks like a really fun shape

I haven’t ridden a popsicle in over a decade, but I was tempted. Good looking board for sure!

Street Plant released a 14.5" wb version of that shape about 4/5 years ago (it was listed at 14.5" but was actually 14.375") and it was amazing. I bought it to be a cruiser but ended up skating it properly and loved it. It was the board that gave me the madness tbh, and start running multiple setups. I would definitely recommend it. If some cash comes in soon I'll be grabbing the 14.25" version above.
Regarding the Madness 8.75 popsicle above, I have that shape and I'd say mellow concave definitely.

A week on Dane1 and it feels super scary to skate anything but flat with. I guess I''ll get some bigger and softer wheels for it and keep it as cruiser. I feel like longer wheelbases are more of my thing. I really liked that Creature Stumps 8.8 though.

I agree with you. But the shape and the wood matters more as the graphic. And a good reason to get some spraypaint.

Over the years, many a board has been given the "grip offcut sand back" or a spray job as the graphic was not at all of interest but the wood or the shape was perfect.
I almost didn't post it with the weed background, but the shape was the main thing, as per the third frame of that post.

New Lovenskate 9in football I had shipped from the UK. Paid a lot for shipping but I'm excited to skate this shape... very slight and subtle taper up front with a squared off tail. Loved the graphic despite the natural wood stain, wish that bottom layer were all red. I hope some US shops can carry these because I dig the graphics and this shape!
9in at its widest, 8.75 at the front truck and 8.5 at the rear. Total length 31.5inches with a 14in wheelbase. Haven't set it up yet, but I skated a Quasi with similar dimensions and had a blast on it so I imagine this will be a lot of fun as well.

I love the fact that they are all 14in wb, and that they're pennswood! You're probably right that they wouldn't sell a ton in the states, they seem like a small operation over in the UK anyway.

There are definitely more shorter wheelbase boards coming out of DLX, some popsicle and some shaped like the TG deck.
Seen some good pics and positive reviews from people who have had the Real floral decks, which seemed like the start of the shorter boards.

we're on page 19 of this thread and the standard was set early on, anything 8.5 and wider, 14.25 and below.

Given most common wheelbases for 8.5+ boards are 14.38 to 14.5 and up, I think 14.25 as said is about the maximum for shorter wheelbases.
Sure there are increasing numbers of boards coming out now with 14 or so wheelbases, even some like the Quasi egg under 14, but given even 1/8" can make such a difference, up to 14.25 is still quite reasonable for a shorter wheelbase.

AH 8.75 with a 14.25 wb
Yes a couple of pages back, but as you posted, it is good to have a link to a shop listing as well, especially one like Tactics with all the info.
WIDTH (IN): 8.75
LENGTH (IN): 31.75
WHEELBASE (IN): 14.25
NOSE (IN): 7.0
TAIL (IN): 6.5

Finally took matters into my own hands to open up a lot of fatter shape options while retaining a constant more preferred wheelbase. Turned out pretty well using some dowels, glue, a flush cut saw, and some sandpaper (looks worse than it is). Took a 9" football from 14.5" to 13.875" in about 20 minutes not counting glue dry time. Pretty hyped.

Glad I saw this. I just broke the last of my Girl Loveseats and I’m terrified to go back to a “normal” shape. The 13.8”wb has been so perfect I’ve never kept a board together for as long as I have this one (which was only 3 months).
How did you measure? How far from the nose/tail? I was going to redrill a creature 9x32 but had no idea where to start the bolt holes from because the Girl shapes have such big kicks.

I compared it with a few other boards including the love seat by placing it on top and noting the hole placement differences. I noticed most boards I like including this one have very similar tail layouts (about two fingers of flat) and just have more or less length at the end of the tail. I didn't wanna mess with that much, so I went with 1/4" in on the tail (shown in pic) and about 3/8" in on the nose. A lot of boards you could probably just do one side or the other. I used a business card and a sharpie to draw those lines around the holes and then just eyeballed the middle. There was a conveniently placed 1/8" line on the business card so I used that as reference to draw the horizontal lines. Forgot to mention I used a punch to keep the drilling as accurate as possible (one shot with a 3/16 bit). It's not perfect but the trucks fit just fine. The nose probably didn't need the dowels, but I used them anyways. The saw I used is actually a door jamb saw, but flush cut would probably work as good or better, I highly recommend using one as it keeps the sanding time way down (couple minutes) compared to just breaking or snipping them off.
-
Looking good!
At first I was thinking that was a lot of effort with the dowel pieces, but then remembered others had punched through the original holes with their trucks closer than 3/8" so that should keep the trucks where they need to be and no breaking the wood between the original and new holes.
I know from many times redrilling boards, the factor of minimal distance did make for some modifications that were longer or shorter than actually desired, but this method looks like a solid and sustainable option.
Always keen to hear how they go and if there are any issues, but from looking at the hi res pic, it seems like things should work well for you.

I cant exactly get an 8.5 and above short wb deck currently in this country but i can get either get primitive, april or Girl/Chocolate 8.25 14wb board. Im wondering how 14 inch wb pairs with indy standards 52mm wheels for flip tricks and stuff?

I would be inclined to say it is all down to personal opinion, but they are all fairly standard sizes and parts, so for most people who skate fairly normal setups, they should work well enough. For taller people it might feel a bit short, if they are more used to longer wheelbase boards, but even then a few sessions and it should feel ok.
What have you had before and what country is it?

Malaysia, sort of lucky with boards coming in ever since lock down but not lucky enough to have specific boards i want. So i had a few 14.25wb board from quasi and wknd but at the time of those i was more messing around and busy with work and passed those boards down.
Im about to quit to take a break so i wanna really get back into skateboarding and focus on flat ground. I wanted to get a 8.5 because i have indy standards 149s but id settle for 8.25 for now.
I actually did ride a 8.25 polar with wb of 14.125 but didn't progress because of messing around busy work bullshit. Im about 5 11 i did find the polar pretty comfortable for watever reason.

Quite a few 8.3 (including 8.375 or 8.38) boards can be good too, some with longer wheelbases, but many with wheelbases shorter than 8.5 but still giving the feeling of a slightly wider board, so that is often worth checking on with whatever decks are around there for you as well.
Indy 149s are pretty standard for 8.25 up to 8.5 and definitely good on 8.3 variants too.
Brands like Primitive, April, WKND and a few others often have shorter wheelbases overall, with Girl / Chocolate often having options for shorter, along with Dwindle brands, which often have shorter wb too.

I like the same specs as you. But as far as I know, the Polar 8.25 actually has a 14.3 wheelbase if you measure them. The Girl/Chocolate boards in 8.25 have at least a 6.8 tail which sounds really weird to me and I am scared to try them.

It is a rad board though.
I think someone drilled a Gonz sweatpants down to 14.0 wheelbase a while back, but I couldn't find it when I looked.
I seem to be finding a lot more shorter wheelbase boards lately, but I know things are moving that way.

Has anyone here mentioned the shaped Dan Drehobl Krooked boards? They're 9.25" x 31.8", 14.25" wb. They haven't been in the collections for several seasons now. I hope Krooked produces more soon.
There could be a new Drehobl board out in the next drop or next catalog, which is the 9.25 with the 14.25 / 14.75 double drilled holes.

Yo I googled the shape and saw your photos from the setup thread, actually the best pictures of the deck on the internet.
I'm stoked, went over measurements on my lovenskate football (best damn skateboard I've ever had) that recently had a pressure crack splinter into something larger and more deadly :( Thankfully, the size and shape are pretty close. However, do you remember what the nose was like on that board? Was it more pointed, or a rounder at the end? Not a fan of the super pointy nose a la Quasi 9inch football or the Tired deal shape

I know it is just my eye, but the red one seemed so big and wide, whereas the new roses deck doesn't look anywhere near that.
Also the old red one was such an iconic graphic from back in the day so I think many more older skaters would recognise that one more easily too, but it could be off putting for some younger guys.
Pretty cool either way.

not as good as Chico’s big boy shape was, but basically the 9.25 version of the love seat! I ride either if there is nothing else out there piquing my interests when I’m shopping for a deck

im the same way when it comes to trying out new boards, they have to be readily available
2 different graphics for the mp shape this time around, looks like they might have them in every drop very soon. quite literally the only thing i care about coming from their camp
-
The trend to go towards shorter wheelbase on any size board is helping this thread too, with more coming out in future drops so you guys should be good for this and a couple of other brands that might pick up this shape too.
The more interest in those Matt Price boards, the more likely they will keep it going too, but get them while you can as they do seem to be very popular.
-
i'm hooked on WKND 8.875VB shape. also with a short wb.
-
I saw the latest Hopps boards, now back on BBS (previous range were on Clutch) appear to have some good boards that would fit into this range, eg
8.5 x 32 with 14.25 wb
Anyone check and confirm that though, but the boards look good.
-
more 8.5/14wb hydrodips up on the site
rode the shape before and it was an all time favorite
snagged the lone 8.65 but maybe we see an 8.75 soon?

I'm hesitant about it because it doesn't have any photos showing the concave and kicks, and I don't want to buy something just for it to be a cruiser type of board.

If they are back on BBS then I’ll be back in the market for Hopps. Because those are my dimensions and I was bummed when the Theories distributed stuff went to clutch.

Yep, you are going to be happy then.
Someone said they asked them and because of supply issues they went "elsewhere" for wood, but now they have the regular BBS boards for both Hopps and Theories I think it was.
Cute they didn't say where they got wood from in the interim...

Assuming the boards are actually from AD, they don’t say but there’s good photos. I want to see more places specifically listing concave depth. Somewhere I was able to find the Gonz board has 0.5” concave which is mellow

The guy from the Almonte Boardshop was rad to talk to via Instagram, so maybe hit him up and ask.
He did say they were from AD Woodshop too. Thought I had put that in, but realise I hadn't.
They have a lot of other good boards on the shop walls, so it wouldn't be too hard to compare something you see on those walls you know or have skated before and go from there maybe.

Almonte Boardshop Owner here. Thanks for the interest in the shop decks. Let me know if you have any questions about them. I did use AD woodshop for this run. I have not talked to them since the arrival so I do not know if they are still up and running or not. They were having some issues for sure but managed to get me my order (although a bit late but I think that is the norm these days).

I noticed the same with scumco logo boards. Website says 14.25wb, but it's 14 for sure.
@off I also messaged the Dert dudes and got the same answer before checking back here. Really stoked about that 8.75!

Really sounds like AD just went down hard, but at least people liked the short wheelbase boards they had out.
Good that others can pick up more business too, as is the short wheelbases already there from Pennswood for you guys.

Almonte shop deck is indeed wide and blunt. This is the nose of a 8.75 mellow concave. My last board was a full so it feels familiar. Wood seems good. I hate how my grip turned out.

Hey these photos may help some of you guys that’s debating on grabbing one of these Almonte skate shop decks. These are 8.5 the left side is the steep mold. Right is mellow. I ordered 8.75 steep I can post pics when I get it. I’m stoked. The dude that answered my questions on Insta was cool as hell and down to answer question and sent me these photos so I can see the difference in the molds. Stoked to buy from this shop and will do it again graphics look dope and the shop merch looks sick too. Definitely a cool shop worth supporting

The 8.5 steep mold looks like a cop… I just snagged their deck of the day 8.5 Hockey for $45. Definitely a shop worth checking out. Always looking for those $40-45 decks 👀

The new Tommy G real deck is 9.2 x 32 x 13.75wb
https://www.skatewarehouse.com/Real_Guerrero_Knees_Deck/descpage-RLGKN92DK.html
Tough to tell just how much it tapers over the truck but I’m guessing it’s in the 8.75 range.
I got this today and for anyone wondering it tapers to 8.5 on the back trucks and is 9 on the front. Somewhat similar to the couch, with obviously more of a shovel nose. Looking forward to skating it.

I just got confirmation that AD is done. I was very lucky to get my full order apparently. I talked to someone who put it an order around the same time as me for the same quantity and got a call from their lawyer saying they went out of business. He didn’t get his boards and it doesn’t look like his money back either. Super bummer. They made a really good board/shape but I guess they didn’t know how to run the biz side of it.

You had me with the green eagle there.
But really, that is crazy they are 13.75 wb. I was wondering how long the kicks were, but as per the listing, it is 9 x 32.25 with a 6.75 tail and a 7.5 nose.
The other big board on their site has 14.75 wb (which could easily be drilled down) but I was wondering if you had seen or tried that one at all?

I haven’t seen the milksnake one in the wild, but all the proportions are a little too big for me, unless I was making a cruiser. Curious though, would love to at least stand on one haha. I love the Bigzo though, these will be my 4th and 5th of those in a row.

Yeah seems like opposites in their two big shaped boards which could be a good thing.
I could say, not to stereotype, but the Bigzo is the street tech board and the Milksnake is the vert setup, if you were going by the size, length and wheelbase on average.
The Milksnake size would definitely be a cruiser for me too.

When I had a quick look there were definitely some that had a much shorter tail, or other weird dimensions as per the listings for them with the information on each listing, but I think most were just extras or leftovers, with that one looking perfectly good in terms of size, shape, etc.

As every true DIY’r knows- Why buy it when I can spend more money/time making it myself with a way shittier result? Actually it skates better than expected and was super fun at the wood park. Skatepaige blank, cut to 9ishx32ish and 14” wb, almost a twin tail

Its a clutch stock shape. I forget which one. Sub-14 wb was pretty standard back in the day (like late 80s early 90s) which is what a lot of these shapes are basically reproductions of. I'll see if I can find the clutch shaped board shape guide later on, some of them are pretty obvious.

That makes sense, coming into the big nose era and shortening down the wheelbase to accommodate it in about 1990 to 1991 before boards really got more rounded and smaller.
Thanks for the link too.

Was this one of their ‘boats’ shapes? I feel like I blew it on not get one. They don’t seem to be around. Shape looked real good. One of those times my distaste for NHS worked against me.

If I'm not mistaken it is the same shape as the creature stump 9" (which I love) shares the same specs anyway.

I think there will be more of those shorter boards coming out from NHS and others, as that is pretty much the way the market is going, so although the graphic might be different, the shape will be here to stay for now.
Thought I saw the standard Screaming Hand logo boards were that same dimensions and shape too, all sizes right up to 9+ and everything in between.

Had a gifted 9.0 I wanted to chop down. Was pretty massive with 15"WB/N:7.25"/T:7", with straight across measurement nose to tail at 33". Chems tooled rhe nose and tail, leaving 14.25"WB and more fingers of flat. Cut the nose and tail down and re-shaped. Nose is now a smidge over 7" and tail at a little under 7". Now measures a little under 32.4" ish.

That thing looks good - I would be interested in seeing a side view with concave with deck bolts sitting in the new holes.
As it is BBS, it would feel a little more comfortable too than some other brands with a more defined point between the flat middle of the board and the sharp angle of the kicks.

The stained look of them is really nice.
Might be a bit too much info, but here are some recent posts and things about them.
They are the Mis Registered / Misregistered series.
I haven't seen many of the 8.75 boards besides shop pics, but a few people already have the 8.5 versions, with pics in the Setup thread and in the Recently Bought threads.
They were on the DLX Stock Report and then out in shops last week, so everyone should be getting them soon, if they don't have them already, the shops that is.

just bought one and there seems to be more in stock
cant recommend this shape enough and a steal @$30
if nobody states interest i wont hesitate to buy the rest!

How does the 8.5 compare to the 8.75? I probably should be riding an 8.75 but don't want to let myself get too used to such a rare shape
-
its slightly wider than the 8.5 i think thats all
i wouldnt say its crazy rare
brought two from pennswood within 2-3 weeks apart
a few other board brands are also putting the shape out
another bonus is that these things refuse to die
i have a scumco in the shape from a year ago, still kicking
-
I have seen some wider boards snap so quickly, but in general I would say that wider boards do tend to last longer than others that are not so wide.
Maybe a bit more concave helps with the longevity or distributes the pressure of bad landings a bit more evenly too, but I guess it is all down to how anyone lands.

*** Sorry I probably went a little overboard on this one ***
The irony is that all those Element boards have the dimensions laser etched into the top of the board, but more often than not what they give to shops in terms of information and even on the Element sites are sometimes not the correct dimensions, so I don't quite know how they can be so bad at this.
Comparisons:
https://www.skatedeluxe.com/en/element-daley-demon-8-875-skateboard-deck-white_p153344
https://www.tactics.com/element/sascha-demon-8875-skateboard-deck
So from looking at the close up on Skate Deluxe, it actually has "Made in Europe" as the first line, so it is not the usual BBS board, or at least this one is not, the width and length on the second line and the nose, tail and wb on the third line, but it is too hard to make out in that pic.
I would say that it appears to be 8.75 x 31.75, N 7.12 T 6.44 WB 14 as there doesn't look like there are enough characters for the 14.25 or even 13.94 or something at the end.
Close up on Tactics shows "Built by BBS" and although it was hard to make out details, it does look like N 7.0, T 6.5 and enough room for 13.94 wb on the printing there, so it could be different to the EU version.
So I went for a look for anything else too, Element Demon deck being the key words that worked best, with some curious results but I wonder if the different countries make what could be the same board with different woodshops, BBS in USA, HLC in Europe and have different boards / different sizes.
All up I would say that the 14 wb is about right, but really could be 14.25 or under 14 still.
The So Cal shop measurements just seem like they are for a different board entirely, but who knows.

Just scooped one up! You are so right about Pennswood feeling great from start to finish. I've been on a Scumco 8.5 logo since January and it's in great shape. Having this is gonna allow me to set it aside for a while and try out the Anti-Hero mis-register...

That looks like it would work well for the people who like the Chico boards, similar shape with a shorter wheelbase.

Hey I am Josh
I am one of the 2 owners of Dert Skateboards in Maine. if you DM'd us or emailed you got a reply from me.
thanks for reaching out
Yes our next batch of boards is coming from Penns Wood and we did work with Joe to replicate the concave, wheelbase and overall shape of our Anno Domini boards.
Our original intent was to use PW but Joe got really busy during the Pandemic so...
here are some pictures i snapped from our 8.75
by my measurement it is 8.75" wide 32.5" long a 6.75" tail and a 7" (maybe a 7.10) nose with a 14.25" wheel base
We do still have some of our AD boards in stiock and our next drop is coming out soon

element shapes in europe are different than in the us, i had a madars apse deck not too long ago, it was 8.3 x 31.9 something with a 14.2 wheelbase. that exact graphic was listed as 8.375 x 32.25 with 14.5 wheelbase on some american sites.

Yes it is confusing, but even the 8.3X (be it 8.375 or 8.38) size board has two different lengths in the BBS wood as well.
The normal longer one at 8.38 x 32.25 with 14.5 wb, which is the same as the DLX, Baker, Birdhouse, DGK etc board.
Then the shorter one at 8.38 x 31.92 with 14.25 wb or something like that, which I bought thinking it was the normal one (listed with the normal dimensions) but then realised it was the shorter one.
Best to see in person and compare, especially as some of the newer boards also seemed to be generic "Made in China" boards from some pics from Skate Warehouse recently.
They have been really cheap / on sale here, which is why I get them, really only for the wood and the shape, then blank the board to have a good BBS board for half the price.

Anyone know of any popsicles out there right now as of April 2022 that are 8.75-9.0" with a 14.25" wheelbase or under? Preferrably blank, only one I found was a creature board and I find the huge CREATURE logo across the board to look like a Zumiez pick, and I can't deal with that.

Aside from creature stumps. Santa Cruz dot or hand logo has those dims. Anti hero has a few and the Almonte shop in Eugene has shop decks with dope graphics on those dims. And you can order online from them.

I don't know if this is still the case, but my sigar had a 14.38" WB and were way closer to 9" at the widest point. Not trying to ruin the fun or discourage anyone, it is a great shape and I will definitely buy one again.

I ordered an 8.25 a month or so ago and it took 12 days from order to arrival to get the deck. It was a little slow comparatively but I don't always feel good about expecting Amazon level shipping from every webstore I buy from. Still, if you got a webstore going you should be at least making weekly trips to the PO.

Thanks fellas, so far looks like I'm sticking with the antihero's cause I cannot do those creach/enjoi/heroin options, would be ideal to find some blanks with those dimensions though.
This is exactly what I need right here, thank you!!!!
regular blanks for $35
wincing at full price decks @$60-70 after that
Did you ever order these blanks yourself? Going on 4 business days now, still haven’t shipped.
second one took around 3 iirc
shipping time inconsistency is my only complaint
sigh...this hurts. Thanks for the reply tho man.
Yeah I got a shipment notification earlier today so I guess I'm gettin lucky. Not like the weather is permitting yet anyways, I'm just an impatient fuck who's used to nearly everywhere offering same day shipping. If any place takes like 2+ business days to ship I'm all wtf man.

@off on your 8.75 what trucks did you run? Something to extend the wb? Hoping to unlock some flat ground with the small wheelbase.

@Murge venture 6.1s
my favorite combos were vlights with smaller wheels
or the vhollows with 56+ wheels
a little weight feels good with 14wb for timing and pop
i do have young legs so ymmv
if you consider yourself "old" go vhollow with small wheels
currently on cast plates and forged hangers and it works but
id rather swap back to forged plates
52mm trucks feel like home
edit: me and my girl got in a fight this weekend
she ran over my setup twice trying to break it
no cracks at all, like nothing happened. tank quality 8)

Got em both today. One was shrinkwrapped with a yellow top ply and pink bottom ply which are unskateable colors for me due to OCD. Other one wasn't shrinkwrapped at all and covered in sawdust with a black bottom and blue top, which I dig those colors. Shape and concave on the keeper is perfect, I will order a couple more of these next payday and hopefully get at least one more keeper for backup lol.

Fred Gall Guest Board
9.735 X 31.3, 14 Wheelbase.
Between back holes I measured 9.1
Front I measured 9.3
Seems like it's Dwindle wood.
It my first shaped board and also my first board over 8.5.
I wanna try it with Venture 6.1s and 56mm Keyframes.
Standing on it feels great and I can't wait to try this thing out..
I don't think they are available in the us.
Also looking for other brands with dimensions like this. Would love to get some more wood in similar shape and dimensions. Maybe something that's more available.
Any hints are welcome.

Yes that definitely reminds me of the Siamese shape that I had a skate on not too long ago - someone's board at a session and although it was fun, I am glad I didn't get any, but I prefer more mellow concave and longer wheelbases.
Overall that should be a really good board for people who are into that sort of thing, shorter wheelbase, stiff wood, etc.

I hadn't seen but AH has Drop 2 up now as well.

Two out of three Grimple boards have short wheelbases in this pic, but more so just for the middle one.

i’m not sure if they changed the WB on Marbie’s shape but i had the graphic before that one and the wheelbase was like 14.3 iirc. i really liked it and think it’s a great shape. if anything double check with there’s webstore. i’d say go for it!

anyone skated the 8.5mp from Weekend? I remember the dimensions being a 31.5 length but its saying 31.8. I currently skate the 8.25 which measures in at 31.25 but their shape guide says 31.6
also anyone notice shecklers new company (sandlot times) has an 8.5 14.25 wb and 31.1 length. his graphics are horrible but the shapes sound interesting. will not send 80 on his brand tho

It has been said that PS Stix decks are usually measured with the concave, so when measured in the normal way straight across, they will always come up shorter. That makes sense with what you saw listed and what you measured.
Re Sandlot Times - Curious about who makes his boards, said to be made in USA, but that has been said before for other brands that clearly get their wood from outside of the US, but either way, I am wondering what length of nose and tail that adds up to, as it just seems too short, going by normal dimensions.
That is not to say that it doesn't work really well for some people, but a board I have (unskated for the shop) was an 8 x 31.4 with a 14 wb and reasonable kicks, maybe 6.8 nose and 6.4 tail if I recall correctly.
Any shorter than that in overall length with a longer wheelbase makes me wonder.
* For reference, truck area is 4.25 so all those for that board add up to pretty much that, but some other boards just don't seem to add up on paper.

Yeah, I'm currently skating an Enjoi 8.5 x 14.25 WB. I like it in combination with the ace trucks, but I was also curious how a 14" WB would feel. Back in the day when I skated 7.5 and 7.75, my wheelbases were also around 14 or even 13.75. I just want to know if some of my tricks from back in the day would be easier, or just skating in general ;)

This is making me want to cop one of those shorter 8.5 antihero’s. I have so many decks in my pile though. I would be running it on af1 55s or classic 44s

As per a post in the Woodshop thread, I had a look at a few other boards and they are all shorter wheelbases, even for the 9 which was 14.25 for those who are interested.
The only down side is it is for the UK / EU market with product from Quarter Dist, for those in the USA, you might have to go looking a bit more.

I know I could go looking, but curious where that Skate Mental board was listed?
It is a good pic of both bottom and top, with what looks like BBS warning sticker on it.
Might need a woodshop listing change shortly for that one too.
* Pretty cool if the shop actually put all the dimension info on the price sticker too, but I can't quite make any details out, including the shop name.

That sticker is 99.9% the usual BBS sticker though, which is why I thought that.
Skate Mental had been listed as China (unknown) and then more recently Clutch, neither of which would have that sticker, so that was my assumption.
Edit:
I had a look around and sure enough, other Skate Mental decks are also now BBS.
This one could go well here too, if they are the correct measurements:

Haven't been able to find a listing that shows the top side yet, but apparently this baker deck is 9.6 x 32 with a 13.75wb
https://bakerskateboards.com/products/circle-jerks-album-art-deck-9-6
When I opened up the image on the page the full url included "jlee-mock" so I'm thinking maybe this modeled after the burger board but with slightly different dimensions?

Question for the seasoned ones on this site:
Would a wider board , shorter wb be better for an older(37) beginner?
I only been skating 8.0 For a month now
Also, I love mellow concave and kicks because it doesn’t jack up my ankles.
Are there any square nose, wide board mellow decks?

What about something like the standard PS Stix 8.5? It's got a pretty short wb at 14.25 although I think that's just average nowadays. Available across a variety of brands - Quasi, Strangelove, WKND, Pizza all put out 8.5s in that shape. Pretty mellow and square.

Amazing boards for the size and shapes. I recall some had double drilled wheelbases but now they all seem to have single wheelbase options.
Re sizing options - I didn't know this for however long, but go back to saved notes every now and then to recheck.
Edited these to show the different size options.
Add space then width=XXX number you want inside the img brackets (no spaces except between img and width, eg
[ img width=300 ]

"then we dug up another archived shape from the @alienworkshop quiver for the sunrise colorway, this time we took @robdyrdek 90’s mantis shape, tuned it down to Bens specs and coined it the grasshopper, it’s 8.75 and rides like an 8.38 with a 13.625 & 14" Wheelbase."

John Gardner has a shape on Creature that’s an 8.8 with a 14wb. It’s a twin tail. so while it’s labeled an 8.8, it feels like an 8.5.

Theories has a new shape that looks good.

I noticed that those new boards are not PS Stix.
The Free Dome site says USA, so whether it is just for this specific Motorhead package or a change, anyone have any other info?

I think when they were using pennswood, yes. Their latest drop seems to be a mix of just bbs and control. The one in the link looks to be control, and those 8.5s come with a 14.37 Wb on my experience.

13.625 wb is wild. Sick they are doing like proper 90s "reissiue" shapes. Actually looks like a blast to skate.
Cross posting from the setup thread. I’ve set this one up with the 13.625 wb and it is an absolute joy to skate. Usually an 8.125-8.25 guy but I’m loving the feel of this board so far, it’s way fun

Can confirm that they are no longer exclusively 14in wb. The logo boards used to be all pennswood like Gene said and all had 14in wb, but from asking Ty Beall and Brian Downey it seems the pro models have a variety of lengths and wb's. if you dm Palomino I bet the dude will let you know if they have any of the old ones left. I managed to scoop pennswood 8.5 logo board from KCDC last winter, but I feel like I got really lucky.
Edit: unrelated, but Uprise just posted these puppies

appreciate it but like i said in the post those AH's wont be here in the UK for prolly another month atleast - always takes a while for DLX stuff to reach the UK and get sent around to shops etc. settled on a pennswood pressed lovenskate board, graphics a bit shitty but nothing some acetone cant fix.

Skated it for a few hours, love it.
if anyone is looking to retain a "normal" size but still have the shorter wheelbase this pennswood press is where its at. put a good few hours into it, fliptrick game seems to be a lot more consistent, feels very snappy. i know @Buttfart Rapedick was concerned about the qual of pennswood after covid etc, absolutely no issue on my end. can see myself riding solely these from here on out, definitely the "goldilocks" shape/sizing atleast for myself.

I just got one of these Roger Curb Crushers in the mail and noticed the dimensions posted online don’t totally capture all its details
8.5” over back truck
8.875” over front truck
So there’s a good bit of taper
31.75” long
Also, wheelbase listed on the sticker says adjustable to either 13.95” or 14.25” (which is ever so slightly different from some posts online that say it’s a 14”wb on the shorter setting)
Hope to set it up soon, but I gotta make a call regarding trucks. I have some Indy 149s (8.5”) and some Ace classic 55s (9”)… but the OCD side of me wants to buy 8.75” Indy 159s :'(

I think the 8.5 / 8.75 Misregistered Eagle are selling like hotcakes, couldn't find one during black Friday. So they took it as a sign that short WBs are in. But sub 14" WB? I'm not sure I can handle that much crazy in my life.

I had a super steep Deathwish with a 14.25 WB and very little fingers of flat. It was completely unmanageable on cast Ventures for me. I modded it down to a 13.875 at the tail and it actually became skateable. Indys worked even better.
I'm a stumpy 5'7, so these short wheelbases are making me drool.

Seems like 13.88" wb would be a perfect choice for those who like forged Ventures, but I agree that sub 14" wb seems insane lol i'm totally happy with 14" and cast Ventures

Just thought I'd point out that the There Cher Strauberry board is actually quite small feeling. I have one and it narrows down to 7.6ish inches at the narrowest point by the rear trucks. It's a sick ride, but despite being listed at 8.67, it doesn't feel wide at all and quite the contrary when you're coming down over the rear bolts.

Yeah Dream Girl shape is the best shape. The Welcome Corey Duffel Blixa is the same shape and he's also put one out under Adored. I'd be psyched to hear they are back in production from JK but the reissue I got from them had to be about 5 years ago. The Dan Drehobl Krooked shape is about the same but with a bigger, more blunt shaped nose.
Final note; JK's measurements for that board have been kinda all over the place and I think it is closer to 9 than 9.5" wide.
Here's a pic of the Adored version that I set up earlier this year:

this seems to be the last one of these boards
i hope this dimension is possible to find again. it looks absolutely perfect. i would say the nose is slightly more full too and the tail is a more rounded / aggressive cut.
6.5" tail, 7" nose, 14" wb. it will be on Indy's.
if i get thunders, which i very likely will at some point, i will probably go to the 13.75" wb Real board they are coming out with. i hope other people enjoy these boards too and they keep making them.

good news is the dimensions look very close to the misregistered eagles out right now. biggest difference i'm seeing is it's listed as 31.75 vs 31.8. tail/nose measurements are almost the same as well

Yes the Misregistered Eagle in 8.5 is that same shape. If you're wondering about it in the future, look to see if there's an 8.75 with the same graphic. That's the 8.75 with the 14.25 wb and it's shared the same graphic with the short 8.5 in the last few drops. They were introduced around the same time and I think are currently kind of a package deal.

i skated that exact anti-hero 8.5 while i was recovering from an ankle injury since i figured i'd be flipping the board less (i usually skate 8.25) - it was my favorite deck i've skated in 2022 - i picked up 2 of the 8.25 misregistered eagles and i'm excited to try them - i also hope they keep making these

i think their quality control has actually gotten a lot better and they know how to do magic with that cheap wood. you cant beat the price either.

I picked up an Enjoy Thaynan from the ThankYou sale for $29. 8.75 with a 14.25 wheelbase and a short tail. I haven't set it up yet because I have another board I have only skated twice, but I'm more exited about it after having it in hand. It really is a nice shape.

Listed as 6.3" and I measure at 6.4". Tail angle is pretty mellow so I don't think it's going to be a big pop angle when the tail hits. Probably going to set it up with Ace AF1 first, which should give a similar axle to end of tail as some of my setups on Thunder.
The shape reminds me of boards I skated in '91, like the G&S Shannon May with Cindy Crawford or the CCS Wrench
At $29, if I try it on a couple different trucks and it doesn't work for me I won't feel remotely bad about leaving it at the park for a kid.

I can definitely see a few more people picking up those boards, given the shorter length and wheelbase but still having a fairly normal shape or brand choice.
Easy to remove the graphics on the stained boards / paint over the black widow too if someone is not so keen on them, funny as they are.

I currently have the Anti hero 8.5 Misregister eagle set up with 149 Indys.

I can get a deal on venture 5.6 highs here, would the Ventures be a better match for the deck?

I mean, that would push the wheelbase out a little bit, so it certainly could help. I’m skating an 8.5 Chems twin nose board with a 14” wb on Thunder 151s, and I think the wb is too short for my liking. 360 flips are wonky and don’t come around right, everything feels a little squirrelly.
14.25 seems to be my favorite. I’ll know for sure the wheelbase was too short when I switch back, which I may do soon, just to see. I’ve got the board here, so why not, right? I wouldn’t have guessed that 14 would be too short for my liking, but sometimes things surprise us. I guess it will be good to figure out one way or another.

Set this up as a placeholder until the new sob story sample boards come in (it's the closest BBS made deck with similar specs that I could find). The nose & tail are a hair longer than my sweet spot (7"/6.625"), but I'm pretty stoked overall with how it skates. Also, after bouncing around with different trucks, I'm back on Thunders and I think I may have finally found an end to my madness after setting them up with a Venture loose trucks top bushing & RipTide pivot cups ;D

Heated Wheel needs to get with the listed wb program. Some are up but not all. I never would have guessed that the 8.75 had a short wheelbase based on something like the Slam Time shape. I Just assumed it would have something similarly super long.

The Heated Wheel thread:
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=125033.30
The other one someone had was a 9" with a 14.38 wb so maybe that line, the "Grasshopper" series are shorter than the other boards, which definitely seem to have longer wheelbases, or at least the shops that post the info have them as longer, but it is a bit here and there, looking at a few other places, some longer and some shorter.
Eg shorter:

The more I look at the 8.75 in shop pics, the more I think it looks like the Alien Workshop deck in 8.75 that I have, which is also 14.25 wb and maybe about that long as well.
Not sure if the Heated Wheel board is that blunt in the kicks though.

I have the BA Metal deck in the stack that I think is the AWS 8.75 shape. I am fairly certain THW 8.75 is a different shape If the SoCal image is to be believed.
https://socalskateshop.com/The-Heated-Wheel-Oval-Team-Skateboard-Deck-Purple-Stain-8-75x32-25.html#!?cc_decks=129921&c=cc_grip-tape
Looks much rounder and tapers in the rails whereas the AWS deck is pretty straight and blunt at both ends. Of course who knows if that image is accurate but it does look like an actual photo they took. In any case, glad to have another 8.75 with a shorter wb if and when DLX's somewhat fickle catalog cycles the AH 8.75 out.

That is a good pic of it, which I hadn't seen before. Most places really only have the graphic pic, so seeing it from the top shows it has longer "normal" looking kicks, as you had said.
The brand is still so new around here, so I haven't seen any in person at all.
Thanks for that link too!

Some Baker boards have stained bottom ply layers, but more often than not they are the ones with specific wood grain showing through, so a full paint job would more likely be a natural bottom. Quite a few of the latest ones have stained bottoms when I checked their site.
https://bakerskateboards.com/
Edit:
https://bakerskateboards.com/products/rowan-big-bodies-shaped-9-25
This one is not WBSWB worthy but it does have what looks like a green bottom - stains might vary, but they don't say it there.
Someone from a shop or that sees one in person could easily check though, or if a shop had a close up of the side of the board, you can usually see all seven layers of wood.

man that shape has me salivating. if only it was 14 & 31.5 - 31.8 - wouldve bought 5 on the spot
regardless, i'll check if my local has it, really like that blue top ply color too, hopefully they select their veneers - would love to do a grip job for that board

if only the AW egg is shorter like 31.75". 32.25" is pretty long for a 14"wb board IMO.

that 8.75" shape would actually be pretty sick. i wanted a board like this for so long. i think it would actaully be fairly practical for me. it would look so awesome on bluntslides.

I didn't know they had a different loveseat shape out their shape guide doesn't list it. Thanks for sharing this I had it in my cart assuming it was the standard 9.0x32x13.875

+1 for the Tired

Really enjoying the Crob 8.5 with a 14" wheelbase. It's got pretty steep kicks, in between a nose and a tail but I don't mind that too much. Thinking of trying the new truefit Krooked deck that 8.5" with a 13.75 wheelbase. I'm short and a short wheelbase really helps.

That does look like a good size, shape and everything.
Is the tail at 6.2 a little short though?
I had to look it up and it says on one site that it was from 1991 - makes sense as 1990 were still squared off boards and 1992 were starting to really round off the tails a whole lot.
@Frank and Fred Thanks for posting as it is rad to see.

From checking how long a couple of worn down (and sanded back) tails are on older boards, 6.2 is still ok, but not something I would choose to start with on any board. That would be about a month less I think I would get out of it, if I was really counting, based on how I would often sand back / machine back the tails before passing them on to kids or others who would still have a decent board with a slightly smaller tail than I would like.
Funny I get in my head 6.5 is the absolute minimum but 6.7 or so is better for me anyway.

That 8.5 twin is super fun. The fat tails and slim WB are made for each other. Twin tip has almost immediately improved my switch game (still un-remarkable tho)
I'm not fucking with the Indy Mids I have on it, way too heavy and that kingpin loosening is real, but all my other sets are too big, and I don't wanna buy new trucks

That totally makes sense, pre 1993 boards with old school hole patterns would of course have 3/8" smaller tails on paper / looking at where the bolt holes are for the 6.2" tail, but are the same as normal boards with about 6.5" tails.
Thanks for that!

yeah looks like the flyer shape but 'upside down', but the graphics are printed that way?

Any tip for something similar to the AH Curb Crusher 8.75" ? It seems they discontinued this shape.
Dims are supposed to be:
31.75" / WB 14.25"
Tail 6.625" / Nose 7"
-
looks like that was just a popsicle
go to tactics.com and then search 8.75" and then filter wheelbase "14-14.25" (you wont find any 14" i dont think)
There is a Gerwer Grimple Anti Hero board but the tail and nose are coming in shorter on this board:
https://www.tactics.com/anti-hero/gerwer-grimple-coloring-book-875-flyer-shape-skateboard-deck/teal
the closest one i found to those dims was Ace Pelka Arbor board lol:
https://www.tactics.com/arbor/pelka-disconnected-youth-875-skateboard-deck/brown
Metal Skateboards, Krooked, Birdhouse, AWS, Flip all offering boards with this size. I gotta say that sounds like a pretty nice size. nice and fat with the 14.25" wb i like. (riding an egg board with 14.25" @ 9.125" and really like it)

I was thinking the Mis registered eagle was the first one, then Curb graphic and then something else, but there is another one with little info coming out soon too, TNT board with Dennis McNett graphic.
That Grimple Sideshow board is the one for right now though - good simple graphic board, same shape, etc.
Seems like there are lots around too.

No bueno? Or you just used it's useful life? I've been looking at this shape for a little bit. Seems like 9.5" but also too small if that makes sense.

Make sure to measure the DLX truefits. I bought the AH18 eagle version and it was more like an 8.25” width edge-to-edge. 8.5 if you measured with the concave.

Slightly short, but definitely skatable.
I think I was cranky that morning and over it.
Also close to razor tail.
This was an earlier pic when I first set it up.

much appreciated on the reply. Also the pic. I think I'd pick this board up if I find it on reasonable sale, it looks fun but I guess nothing I'd go out of my way to find.

The nose on the popsicle is 0.25" longer although both shapes are 32.25" long? Is it because the popsicle nose is fuller as the egg nose?

The truck size suggestions on that egg are whackadoodle. Measure over the bolts and it'll be around 8.5. 169s or 55 Classics would be goofy as hell.

I use this tool a lot: https://eleif.net/photomeasure
You'll need the measurement of the widest point and a picture of the deck. I prefer a top pic but either will work. Enter the width into the entry field you should see to the left above where you drop the image and then drag and drop the jpeg or whatever into the image upload field. Then carefully draw your first line across the widest point. To make sure it's straight you can look at the bolt holes for reference. Then do the same over the bolt holes at the top and bottom. Skate Warehouse is good for actual photos of the tops of decks.
I got 8.42 over the back and 8.75 over the front on this one.

I was thinking the same thing with those dimensions - super long board with short wheelbase so they must be some long kicks on that thing.

are there any shapes out there that are like, an 8.75 (or even up to 9) popsicle (or close to it), with a short wheelbase but also shorter total length? i'm dreaming of something like 8.75 x 14 x 31.5
The Ben board I'm riding is just barely under 32.
But it's 9.125 across the fingers of flat by the nose. It's slightly under 9 across the tail.
I'm never going back to skinny boards.
Next time I'm getting hollow 6.1s tho. I don't wanna shrink my wheel size. This board is so heavy it's sometimes scary. Especially when the dragons bounce on the ground.
A 9" board with 6.1s and 58mm soft wheels has an incredibly unpredictable bounce when you don't catch it right.
I fuckin love rails. Here feast in the glory of a near perfect set up.

Double down post because this shape is giving me flash backs. Sometimes it doesn't really hit till you grip it. This is a good shape. Reminds me of world almost.
I'm probably going with 5.6s. Radial fulls. The 6.1 is too wide for me with this one. I don't like seeing my wheels.
Wb in both setting is sub 14. This going to be crazy fuckin fun

Eh I'm looking for shorter even though it's only a hair shorter at a 14.1WB that's as big as I like going these days. I wonder if I got one of those Scram 9.5"-10" popsicles and re-drilled the nose and tail mounting holes down to a 14"WB if it would make the nose and tail look absurdly long?

Some boards drill in really well, but others just feel weird, almost too light on the kicks being drilled in too much.
I guess it depends how much you drill it in, or even just doing one end and not both, so the tail still feels like a normal tail, then the nose could be a bit longer and not have to really worry about it, but I have seen people reshape boards down, either at the nose or even both ends.
Don't think most people really want to go to that much effort though, but boards like the Black Label 9 x 32.5 with 14.5 wb, drilled in 3/8" becomes a 14.1 or so wheelbase, so that is an option. I think Polar is about the same too, 14.5 or so wb on those boards.
There is talk of a few more 9" boards coming out with shorter wheelbases in the future, but until that happens, or I have seen one or even seen dimensions, then I couldn't really tell you much more.
Wasn't there a Heroin 9" popsicle with a really short (for me) wheelbase around too? Might have been a Zane RIP model or something.
Found this one anyway, so maybe it is the same shape, 9 x 32 with 14.25 wb - not quite what you want though.

It was posted here from a while back, to have a look at the shape anyway:

Riding this now. Real risers. 6.1 ventures. 56 conical fulls. Swiss ceramics.
Skates really small. I came off the wknd football 8.875
For whatever reason the pop on this Metal board is crazy good. I’m going to ride this out and switch back to the wknd only because this skates really small / thin, and prefer the sturdier feeling of the wknd set. I’ve also ridden Like 5 of them and got really used to the feels.

Has anyone skated one of these before?
The limited Dims look pretty good on the surface, just hoping the tail and nose arent sub-6.5.
Semi wanted one since seeing it on the wall on the Nice Club so the 40% off might make me pull the trigger.

Yeah one guy who skated one really enjoyed it.
I had a stand on it and it felt good, BBS wood, decent shape and kicks, but I didn't roll or do anything else on it.

I’d imagine the taper is roughly similar to the Heroin Curb Killer, which is 9.5” over the trucks, so dead flush with 77s.
I think you could get away with 66s and some wide wheels like Radial Fulls, might feel a little enchanted but hey a 10” egg is gonna feel weird in some way or another.

I’d either go Ace CLASSIC 66s with the 9.35” axle or Ace AF1 77’s with a 9.5” axle.

Thanks Tasty B and Enrico, I do have some Rad Fulls that I was thinking of putting on
Probably take my current set in when i pick the board up, see if that .5" - .75" is worth a new set of trucks.... idk if I'd have much use for much bigger trucks than those 66s (outside of this scenario lol)

This April board is on sale online for $50 and I love it... I don't like most April graphics and hated on the brand.. until I skated one! This is the best feeling deck I've rode in years. I highly recommend it! All the dimensions are perfect. The tail is longer than my last couple Toy Machine/Primitive boards and I love it because it feels like it pops faster.

Doing the sums, I am guessing something around 7" nose and 6.5" tail, give or take a bit here or there, as the rest leaves about 13.5" after wheelbase, trucks and total length.
Who knows though, but they are about the most common numbers.

i think when I first replied I just had it in my head it was a twin...and was hoping it was. I may have been looking at that other thread for twin shapes right before hand. You're probably right, my math had it 6.75" if it were twin, but hopefully some confirmation comes.

I didn't even think of a twin, but even just roughly doing a copy / paste of the kicks and rotating that image, the nose is longer, so most likely a "normal" popsicle shape, longer nose, shorter tail.
Got people talking any which way, which is never a bad thing for a brand.

they are calling it the jet ski shape, definitely not a twin
i hope they keep it up with the weird dimensions
strikes me as a 7.75, just an inch wider

Yeah I could see that being a Louie or even a Koston or similar type of board too - super short wheelbase / length, but fairly normal width.
Gotta say, drilling in those Ventures turns any longer wb board into a much shorter wb and quicker turn, so I can see that would be way easier to drill a set of trucks well once and not have to do twenty plus decks for the life of those trucks, if people were drilling in boards.
Saw them talking about the Tom Day twin board in the twin thread.
8.5 x 32 (or 31.8 length) with 14.0" wb and approximately 7" kicks, (maybe 6.8 from checking elsewhere).

redrilled ventures look interesting
id wait for production if ishod is doing the testing
definitely seem beneficial for short kicks, esp a twin
i saw the post for the heroin boards in another thread
will put up the specs later this week

I have recently set up a chocolate Raven board. Not sure of the shape but it has a sub 14 wheel base . It's fine for most things but kickflipping it is a nightmare. Board always seems to come up short and my front foot lands on the nose. I've been kickflipping for 30 years but now I can't do them.
Might have to go back to regular wheelbase again.

That is the joy of having direct from China connection I guess, or at least not having to ship boards to USA then to down under here.
We might get some boards faster than USA in that case.

I've skated two of this n-25 shape, wheelbase is even shorter at like 13.25", probably the best feeling board I've ever skated.

13.25 is crazy, either way that setup looks really cool
I had that mike v mini circus shape when I was 9 and skated it for a year
That thing went everywhere with me..
Jacuzzi 8.75 really got me tempted just to try it out,
except for loveseats I'm usually skating 7.875-8.125 14wb

local homie who rides this shape has no problem with classic rails (Film or Powell) and 56 mm wheels.
You had wheelbites on rails or preemptive action ?

Yes that was the "orange graphic" I told you about a while back, the Anchor shape was the name on it.
Still not seen anything else about it, so if it is out in shops that would be really good to see the board pics and top view.
* I looked up the message (from Jan) and the dimensions have a longer wheelbase than that, so maybe just double check before getting too excited about it. I mean, I am sure it will be a good one, but I think I had it shown as 14.34 wb.

I have lil jawns on mine, the moth jawns and they work perfect for the wb and shape. But almost any rail would be good if you like them pushed in as far as I do

Seconded. The Lil Jawn Slappy Hour rails are really low profile and only 13.5" long. Little chance of wheel bite and nice and light.

Bought this Baker 8.75 w/ 14.25wb because I liked the way the shape looked. The full measurements aren't what I was hoping for. 8.625 over front trucks. Tapers to about 8.375 over the back. Wished the rails didn't taper but not the end of the world. Right at about 31.5 length.
