Did anyone ever pick up the AWS Owlien Twin?

I messaged @PrettyRicki about that one and he said the wheelbase is actually 14.375 instead of 14.25.
A friend of mine recently got it and also confirmed that the wheelbase is longer. Sucks
Tails are about 6.875"

Edit: In the last nine club, crob finally said that his twin deck is out now, but there's still nothing on the crail website about it

With the board length + long wheelbase + long kicks, it sounds meh 🤢

Weird that AWS couldn't even get their own dimensions correct.

It's pstix, so no suprise there; if it weren't for the long WB and kicks I'd call bullshit on the deck length too..

Think you'll adjust quicker than you imagine - it's harder to adjust back to a normal deck with nose and tail once u get used to skating at TT IMO.

I had a huge problem going back. I had 2 Ishod TT and then bought a FA Sage board. I literally found the Ishod butterfly deck 1 week later and set it up. I just felt so weird and uncomfortable.

Adjusting to a TT is far easier than going back to a regular board; it feels so foreign.

Thanks - fixed. 

Yeah it is a good shape name too!

I think there are a lot more out there as well, but I guess they sold quickly.

Some shops will still show the product with "SOLD OUT" but others will not show any listings unless they have them in stock.

I thought AWS is BBS?

I Dm’ed Suciu who rides it almost exclusively now and he said they’re making it with other graphics and he finds it the perfect shape. He didn’t know the wheelbase was different. Also said it’s less square than their other decks.

I’m curious to try it.

As far as I know, they are BBS and have been for a while, even though a few boards at the height of the pandemic were not.

They had been on PS Stix before for a long time though.

It was this one:

https://www.paradeworld.com/uk/products/alien-workshop-yaje-burial-deck-8175-69-4611143041155/


I thought I had seen one here, maybe in the setup thread, but cannot find it.


The info I have on that one is pretty slim, which has been out of stock for a while now.

Product code: aw100 Item has been discontinued


https://www.alienworkshop.com/products/yaje-popson-x-burial

(So old the page does not exist any more)


ALIEN WORKSHOP
X Burial Yaje Popson Skateboard Deck 8.175''


The only current 8.175 board in stock that comes up on any searches shows it is not a twin.

Got a Crob twin tail, 8.5, mellow concave and kicks seem quite steep. Wheelbase is 14". Really enjoyed skating it tonight, prefer it to the Worrest twin tail I had before.

Finally got it too. All the measurements are on point, both sides are the same on 8.5 and 8.25.
That's my first ever crail deck, shape seems great and I'm hoping the wood doesn't suck.

Wide board short wheelbase gang would probably love this

I actually think the Crob twins are P.S. Stix made.

Don't think so since Paul Schmitt made some negative remarks about the deck on the nine club about it not really being symmetrical or something

The tops have the same laser etching as other Crailtap wood, definitely not PS Stix, just looking at close up pics.

Girl used PS Stix for a few select boards but that run is done, I think.

I have a better flick riding my boards backwards and I assume it has to do with the concave being flatter on the tailside. I figured out a twin tail could work for me. Are there any flat/shallow  concave twin tails/twin noses out there?
why come?

The Neen is the flattest one as far as I know, flatter than the DLX (Ishod/Worrest) and Crob at least.

Speaking of Paul Schmitt, he just did a twin board for Dylan Jaeb (no idea if it's for a yet unannounced future board sponsor or just getting himself a bunch of blanks).

8.25 x 31.75, 13.75” WB, 6.875” nose/tail, that's quite short!

The Neen is very flat (and short @31.5")
