chris joslin just posted a pic on IG of a plan b board and said it was from dwindle

Cool stain though

Damn, guess losing Chris and Leticia hurt their bank account badly.

Also Alien Workshop, Habitat, Toy Machine (pro models), and Foundation (pro models) are all PS

I'm off the giant noses now but it seems as if even when FA/Hockey/Alien use BBS, they keep the same shapes at least...

Indeed. I usually try and find the Hockey 8.38's that are BBS, it's never consistent though between drops. Last Alien I had (Yaje I think), was very much a pointier nose and tail, sort of like a standard DLX shape, but that was a few years back.

Pretty sure Alien has used BBS consistently since their relaunch, haven't seen an Alien PS board since GT was on the team, but if you have other info, do share. Habitat uses both, usually for different series (their NASA series used PS and had probably the biggest squarest noses I've seen).

I actually might just be assuming since Habitat and AWS are under the same distributor. Next time my shop gets AWS decks I'll check.

I can attest to the width of the NASA habitats them shits felt like they tapered wider from tail to nose

How's the quality of DSM these days? I heard crailtap got their shit together at least. I used to love DSM shapes but the boards chipped like crazy. I wonder if the shipping process of moving the wood from NA to China and back to NA or wherever affects the quality significantly. I doubt there's good humidity control shipping overseas so maybe Girl and DSM boards skate better in China since they're "fresher?" Or I'm just totally off.

I've seen some palace boards do weird things, like almost shatter.....I skated one and I just don't like the lay up, the kicks. Not as good as a generator/BBS board, didn't stay as snappy but not a bad board. Lots of people skate NHS without complaints...

Yeah BBS has been my go to. I'm just biased because I grew up skating DSM boards so I like the shape, but I wouldn't be surprised of a decrease in quality. I doubt I'm gonna buy one anytime soon but interesting to hear about.

Yeah, what is cool,is the DSM and girl have different dimensions and wheelbases that are hard to find with generator/BBS stuff...it's a bit of a trade off..

I’ve heard the palace boards are really bad, but never had one. And skate rumors are real silly.

Girl has always had great shape/dimensions. My latest girl board is for sure not the best board I’ve ever had, but it’s really really solid.

And and somebody mentioned habitat was PS sticks but my embossed team logo board was BBS

Last Habitat I had was BBS, excellent board, never snapped on me. It only cracked on the bottom ply after doing a bunch of front lips more than a month into skating, held it's shape really well too.

As for the DSM R7 stuff. I'm bummed R7 isn't standard, I've seen shop decks in various East Asian countries use R7:

I mostly want DSM to be better/more consistent since I grew up skating their shapes so I'm heavily biased towards them.

Mesteezo · « **Reply #530 on:** October 29, 2019, 07:11:49 PM »

Decided to venture off from BBS wood and set up a Crailtap deck (Chocolate) 2 weeks ago. Shit is pressure cracking like a mofo behind both trucks, and everytime I landed bolts today I could hear wood crackiling so now I'm paranoid that the next time I land bolts this deck is dead. I was actually digging the wood too..oh well, back to BBS.

left myself open for that with my vague ass wording...

i was more asking if there are any "performance" benefits in regards to this shape.
do they skate/feel any different to a shape that is actually the same width across the whole length?

these PS shapes begin to taper near the middle of the board, its not just the tail that is significantly thinner.
