I'm interested in how the control decks look because the ones I've seen are always mellow and really flat kicks.

I got a GX1000 board.Within the first 10 minutes of riding it I have determined that this might be the worst board I've ever skated in 20 years. First, the tail is way the fuck too square'd. You can feel the board heavily scraping the ground every time you try a flip trick, and flip tricks feel really sloppy and slow. The squared nose doesn't bother me, but that tail is useless. It didn't look that bad at the shop, but once I got home and gripped it I had an "oh shit" moment. Second and worst of all, this is the shittiest wood I've ever skated. The board feels like it was pressed with old rotting wood.. no stiffness whatsoever. You feel the tail flexing when ollieing. It feels dead; no pop at all and you can feel that thing flexing just pushing around, it is just so soft. Zero torsional stiffness at all. My 1-year old Hotel Blue (Chapman) that was beaten to hell and somehow never snapped feels much stiffer.I've got about an hour on this board and I'm getting a Real this afternoon. How PS has that big of a following is beyond me.[close]I think I had similar thoughts when I got my first one about 6 months ago. The square shape certainly took me a session or two to figure out, but once I got my stuff dialed back in I love it! Maybe what you received was a one off issue, every Quasi board I have ridden is very snappy pop, I will also say they sog out after about 2-3 weeks. Maybe GX is using different glues or veneers.

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.
Curious, who's pressing Sour boards for North America? The list only mentions Jart, which I don't think I've ever seen over here.

That said, I gotta assume someone else presses them in NA. They're in tons of shops here in Canada (none in my local or I'd just go look myself), and I've never seen (or even heard of) the other Jart/HLC brands in shops here.

D3s and mongo? It's over.
I really liked one of my Polar 8.5's- it had a 14.3 wheelbase and very mellow concave. I want it in 8.25 as I don't like their 8.38 shape, but I can't seem to find something that is as mellow and doesn't have an even more massive nose. Any leads?

Or has it changed? 😮

Literally have a Hjalte 8.5 right here (dragon on it) that is 14.38. Had a few team decks including this one: https://www.amazon.com/POLARSKATECO-Polar-Where-Here-Skateboard/dp/B07K8S6876 that I just measured as 14.38. Unless WB is not measured from center to center of the bolt holes.
all the sour boards at my shop are hlc, they say made in europe.

Does anyone know the wheel base on the G027 shape on chocolate?
What was the concave on your logo deck like? My old scumco got stolen and I just got a new logo deck yesterday that's from control (or at least I assume that's where it's from, it has a Made in Canada sticker) and the concave is pretty mellow. I'd say it's mellower than any of the Pennswood decks I've seen, and it seems thinner/lighter too but Pennswood decks are pretty sturdy so that's not really a surprise. I'm still waiting for the trucks and grip I ordered so I haven't skated it yet but I'm excited to see how it handles.My friend who doesn't even skate bought a Troika pennswood deck that's marked "8.38 steep" so I'm going to set them up at the same time so I can compare them.
I skated a Sour board from HLC time ago. It was nice but heavy and it felt "fat". Like the layers were bigger than usual. It felt like cheap stuff.

I skated an AH SE and that felt longer than this one. Gave my AH away.
