This one would be from the "improved workshop"?
Btw the new wood from comes from?

I think honey island is being facetious. I am staring at an Ave board from the new drop that's ps Stix goddamit. This is a very serious matter bro.

Ted Nugent if he could view himself in third person and meet Ted Nugent, would think Ted Nugent is a total dipshit.

pretty sure all fa/hockey is now generator?

Yooooo

pretty sure they are. I had an 8.0” hockey about 2-3 years ago, and the length,concave etc was much different than the 8.0” FA I’m riding right now. this boards nose is fucking crazy. It works for me because I skate my boards backwards, but it still just looks crazy. I prefer the bbs ones.

Last thee Hockey boards I scooped up (Kosovo, Fitzgerald Cut, and Piscopo Snake) were all Generator. Much prefer them to the older PS Stix decks. Which new Ave deck was PS Stix? Gotta know.

Any idea about Poetic? My guessing would be bbs

Complements4U · « **Reply #220 on:** June 23, 2019, 08:55:24 AM »

Yeah I prefer the generator ones too. Some of the ps ones were absolutely insane shapes with steep kicks and tiny nose and tails. But the 8.5x33 ps Stix shape some of the Fitz boards are on is amazing. It's only amazing precisely for two weeks, half that time if you are doing disasters or coping shit. Then it's a square flexy noodle.

I have the new FA deck that is silver with a Terminator on it. No PS serial number, just a single dot indentation.

I came to find out the name of the shape I like: South Central’s 8” D. It has a flatter nose and perfect concave and WB for my liking. My skate shop (Comfort) uses SC as does Threads.

That must be the mold they used for the Politic Quim I got. The flat nose was too weird for me though and I took it off right away. It was 8.375. The flat nose zapped my pop. I gotta find someone to buy that board.

Also - I just had a look at a shop and 5Boro is indeed South Central now. Didn't have an 8.25 to check out unfortunately.

This ps/ gen deal for hockey and FA is hard to follow. Is it just supply and demand, they can't get them all pressed in one location?

Re: 5 Boro. The rad rad rad rad Jordan Trahan vhs graphic I picked up felt like a girl board. Not science. I should have grabbed it.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned in any wood shop threads but I just got a bbs made element and it actually had a laser etch that said made by bbs with every measurement underneath

Only other BBS/Generator deck I've seen with this are AWS from the last couple years. Seems like it's an option at BBS but few brands go for it.

I need help, I’ve been eyeing this 8.5” scumco & sons board, it is dirt cheap online but I can’t find it’s wheelbase mentioned anywhere... If it’s under 14.38 I’m gonna cop it.

Where are you looking to buy it from? Be careful of places like concrete lodge that list scumco decks that they don't actually have in stock. They'll take your money and ignore you for months and hope you don't cancel the transaction with your cc company/PayPal.

I think scumco 8.5s are usually a 14/14.25 wb so you're probably safe but I'd email the site to make sure it's actually in stocks and check reviews to see if the site is legit before sending them money. If it seems too good to be true than it usually is.

Oh that's sick then that graphic looks amazing in person, that and the soviet propaganda deck are two of the best looking scumco decks in my opinion. If you've never had one before you're in for a treat. Enjoy.

I just got a scumco, 8”. So hyped on the shape and kiddie pool. Really really wish it was 14 wb. Or something. It’s just been one of those boards that I just don’t get along with and I know it’s me and not the board.
Love that company.

What WB is it? I've never had one of their 8's but I guess I just assumed they did 14wb on those since my old 8.25 was 14 1/4 I believe. And yeah that company is sick - super creative one-man marketing agency, solid team, great sense of humor, and an emphasis on high quality decks - they make us yinzers proud.

It took me a bit to get used to their Kiddie pool concave too in the smaller sizes (like the eight) because they usually have shorter wheel bases and a bigger bit of flat between the bolt holes and where the tail/nose start to angle up. So even though the kicks look reasonably steep, they don’t feel as much like it when popping tricks because of that bit of flat. I was used to the Deep dish concave which has similarly angled kicks, but almost none of that flat part, so they pop differently. So at first I hated the feel of the Kiddie pool decks but when I tried them again recently I ended up really liking them. I just had to adjust the way I was skating a bit.

Their Silver spoon concave is pretty interesting. The tail and nose kind of curve up, rather than clearly angling up like most decks. Haven’t seen that anywhere else but I like the way those feel a lot.

14 1/4 I believe. I think thats the WB I always rock. I can't go up or down on that.

Mine is 14.25, and we just don’t vibe. I’m gonna buy more of they stuff tho. As people have mentioned they are quality goods/people. It’s kind of hard to find their stuff, and then they don’t list everything measurement wise. I’m going to get the 8” Ty Beal eventually, even tho it’s the steep concave, it seems to be the only one that had the 14” wb.

The silver spoon concave is what Pennswood calls their matador concave.

Apparently their summer 2019 drop is being pressed by Control. I am looking for a new deck so I may pick up the current Kevin Taylor model because I love the way Pennswood decks feel. Scumco is a great company and has responded to me within one day on several occasions when I reached out to them about technical specs. I will continue to support them no matter what woodshop happens to be pressing their decks because I am certain that they will always put out a fantastic product. They are only an hour from where I live so it is nice to be able to support a truly local skate company.
