GX1000 Brand

[TheSickness]

Stoked on the swap to BBS!

Has anyone bought a pair of the dimethyltryptamine pants? Looks pretty dope.

Yeah I actually just picked up a pair from my local skate shop.  They're sick.  I normally wear a 36 true to size, but I was able to get these in a 34 waist.  You could definitely size up and not be wearing clown-ish panats for sure.

I see they have the red (wine) color ones on sale on the website for only $40 right now too.

They fit slimmer than a Polar surf and they're more tapered than a Polar 93 for reference. They're not a true denim but they feel like a really soft denim and they're great to skate! 

Hope this helps.

Kick angle is easy to measure with a smartphone and some bubble level app.

I'm skating the PS 8.625 currently, and just managed to get the BBS version on offer, kick angle is loads mellower on the BBS, and it's 3/4" longer overall.

Left board is: GX1000 - Jeff Carlyle Buck 8.25 (PS)
Right board is: GX1000 - phonehome 8,25 (new BBS)

The new bbs phonehome is 81,5cm(thats 32,1in) and way more squared, liked the cyan blue and simple draw on it but that pictures didnt really convinced me..

So it looks like all of their decks are BBS now.  Are these BBS GX shapes similar to Hockey/FA?  Is the nose as steep?

Have you skated on LSD before?

[close]

yeah. its fun but falling hurts really bad.

all vibrations go straight to your soul

[Thebird]

Soryy to bump this again - just seeing if anyone can compare the steepness of the nose to hockey/fa on the BBS shape.  It looks nice and square from the pics - I just want to know how steep that nose is before I try one.  Thanks.

[SupremePizza]

I'm currently skating an FA and just ordered a GX from the Spot sale. I can post pics once it arrives

[Thebird]

That would be awesome.  Thanks

[easymoneysniper]

been skating an 8.6 GX for a couple months now and i love it

[SupremePizza]

Gx is 8.38 and fa is 8.25. Gx is noticably longer, slightly tapered compared to fa, kick on the nose is mellower, concave looks about the same or slightly mellower

[vancanman]

I want one of those Bomb Hills hoodies but not looking to pay $80 shipping. Wonder if any Canadian shops carry them. Couldn't find any at the 10 or so sites I searched tonight.

Menu in Vancouver bc usually has gx stuff in stock.

[in love w/ fs shuvs]

it's the way these images speak to me

I ended up getting one of the t-shirts instead and it was the shittiest gildan blank that's ever touched my body. I wiped the sweat off my brow skating one night and it scratched my forehead lol. Needless to say, I'ma pass on any of their clothing from now until forever.

[SlapMcKracken]

How is the concave of the new bbs ones?
I like them a bit on the steeper side, like fa, alien.

And how long is the tail?

[BeachChicken]

The popsicle BBS decks are med steepness, very long rounded kicks not pointy not medium. The square nosed decks have a steep nose like the Quasi BBS.

[diplodocus]

the 8.5 gx shape is super mellow. like maybe the most mellow board i've ever found tbh

[Slave IV]

Seems like GX is all BBS now. I want to try their PS Stix and got one but decided not to ride it and when I tried to find another, I noticed there were no more PS Stix available, which led me to look into Quasi but now I'm hearing they may also be switching to all BBS?

[SlapMcKracken]

So gx 8.25 have a mellow concave? That’s not for me then unfortunately. I like the fa or aws concave.

Quasi proto would be good if it had a longer tail. Or did this change with their later decks?

[SupremePizza]

The 8.38 I had was like med concave. The tail was quite long compared to the 8.38 FA I'm skating now. The 8.5 Violet has been my favorite shape but I can't find them on sale very often

[BeachChicken]

Quasi has multiple PS in their latest release, not sure about GX. The square GX were fairly steep, but I didn't like the nose so I didn't measure the tail. The popsicles have long tails.

[somedudefromnj]

I love the square GX boards. The father time deck is a dream come true. After skating PS Stix boards for so long, its nice to know ive just been wanting fingers of flat this whole time

Have three GX1000 boards

Them all 8,5

Two of them are bbs and one Pstix

Both ways are nice boards but completly diferemt each pstix and bbs

The pstix is the sean pro debut yellow 8,5
Its the 32,12 x 14,25wb (like 31,65 real lenght) mellow and squared, such a joy

The others are the newer bbs 8,5 on this size the GX1000 boards arent squared anymore, they are rounded standard, not pointy, way longer, a stepper kicks, medium concave id say(i believe its true 32,12x14,5wb have to measure again, but for sure is longer that the old pstix 8,5s)

Can confirm that the GX1000 bbs 8,25 are still squared and very interesnt

Idk about other sizes

Oh and the veeners compositions is still like old ones,
Grip side have two colored and the next are blancs still the last, the graphic veener that is colores too.

Yeah mate, thats it. Here in eu is it possible get that board on discount, love that board mold!


Btw guys the other day i was fucking with the boards i got waiting to its turn to get skated and looking baker 8.5 was like, this board looks familiar, compared to the gx1000 board 8,5 from bbs and are excactly the same molds.

So GX1000 8.5 boards is 32 x 14,5 and same shape as baker has.


Btw kinda hyped on that new og logos with transparent spray, curious about that 8,62 shape
