« Last post by tzhangdox on June 03, 2024, 11:24:16 PM »Expand QuoteI've gone from classics to lock in fulls and while it certainly affects the way your board flips, I don't think a change in wheel shape (and not size) should make your flip tricks disappear. Takes some adjustment and then you're good.
There's a few tricks where I feel like a clunkier wheel almost works a lil better, namely fs flips in my experience. Fakie tres also roll and spin a bit too easily on classics sometimes. Clunkier wheels can keep it in check a lil I guess.
I don't think it should bother you that much going from conicals to fulls tbh[close]
in this moment i’m skating one of the widest offerings (radial fulls, 99, 56). feels rad. looks bad, feels good.
would you recommend the lock in fulls?
what i have noticed is that absurdly wide wheels, do allow me to skate the hardness/formula i want, and still be able to cruise over cruddy roads
I got them for free would not have paid money for them. Would definitely rather have had the radial fulls. If I'm skating the wheels that wide, I think any sort of rounded lip would have made them feel a tad less clunky

I’m pretty darn excited to get this deck. I’ll report back when in shows up.[close]
Digging up an old post here, but did you end up liking the krooked anchor shape? Contemplating copping, though wondering how full the tail is? Any insights?[close]Expand QuoteI still don’t know why it’s called an anchor shape. But I’d say the nose & tail are full shaped. I really like it. No complaints. It’s my first 9 inch board in recent years & it doesn’t feel big… but rather makes everything else I have feel small if that makes sense.[close]
I am pretty keen to get one, although I don't know if they already sold out here in Australia or how many made it into the country.

Speaking of that board, there is a Grimple Hewitt deck in the latest catalog with that shape.

Cheers Brimmo, good to know it wasn’t a one off. I ended up buying it, hoping the tail feels nice and full. I will report back and post it up when it’s setup.

Wish I had some of those t shirts from those contests. They were sick. What happened to getting a sick shirt when you entered a contest. Bring that shit back
