Is that the 8.5" one?

The 8.25" is the shit, I've a few setups and since I've started riding the recent 8.25" everything else feels weird, I've even swapped through 3 truck brands and nothing felt off at all (though I think I'm settling on Indys.

Yep.

Deathwish Neen Astrovore Twin 8.25" x 31.5"
DLX also revamped the Ishod Twin tails with new dimensions.

Also, not throwing company names out but expect to see something new/updated down the road…no idea when.

Does this mean the 8.5 twin tail is going to look like two 8.5” tails? Because the current 8.5” twin tail is complete trash and a total disappointment. If they fixed it, I would skate so many of them. Definitely would be stock piling

[Skatebeard]

Crailtap are releasing an 8.25" and 8.5" twin tail, word on the street is they should start dropping around the end of this month/start of sept.

I'm excited to see the crail twin, any stats? I thought I saw somewhere that it'd be one of the few on the market with a 14" wb, a twin tail g052 would be nice. There's a skateshop in thailand that's listing a twin chunk deck on the website with no stats, maybe fake/old. Being for Crob, I was hoping for a 7.75 twin.

Market-wise I am not sure a 7.75 twin would be a seller; he’s also been skating 8.25s which is what I think prof. Ralityschmitt measured.

Yes it would be a unicorn and definitely would not be a huge seller, but they still make a 7.75 and 7.8 so it's not out of the question. While he skates a 8.25 for his everyday slappy board, he's mentioned he still skates a 7.75 for street on the rare occasion that he does.

8.25 and 8.5, both 31.875" long. Don't know the WB unfortunately. Shape codes are G069 and G096 (I see what they did there)

The ones listed on that Thai site tally with what I know, and the graphics look right, they've also got the correct shape codes... so guess that's what we are going to be getting - stoked if the WB is 14", that's my jam.

My Heroin Symmetrical Egg has a steeper nose with more fingers of flat - I guess while the dims are symmetrical, the mold is not.

I’ve no way of measuring so eyeballing, but I’ve about 1 finger of flat at each kick (indys) and the kicks look and feel exactly the same to me…bummer yours is off.

Nose hits a couple mms higher on the measuring tape - turned upside down and put a level on it to make sure.

^ I am nervous that this might become more of an issue now that symmetrical decks are hot. So far I have had a 8.25 Ishod monarch that was on the wrong shape and a Worrest 8.38 with a little different steepness of the kicks. The other 4 symmetricals have been perfect though. It wasn't long ago you had to have luck on your side to find a 8.38 slick or any symmetrical for that matter. I found an Ishod 8.3 slick on the first shop site I looked last night(Orchard) and I saw on Tactics you can actually pick your color on the Worrest 8.3s

Pretty impressive list!
Would be good to know what truck combos you found worked best for each of the decks on your list if poss pls?
Also which one has been your fav or if you had to settle for one?

[ChuckRamone]

Is there any need to rotate wheels with symmetrical shapes? With a non-symmetrical popsicle my wheels wear unevenly. But if I'm skating a symmetrical board, would the wheels still wear unevenly but less so? If only I skated switch exactly as much as I skated regular then I wouldn't have to worry about this.

if you don't favor a a kick you should only need to reverse the wheels where they are instead of rotating to balance out the coning (if you get any).

Being on the wrong shape is inexcusable - in my case, I think it is within the margin of error, like the Worrest you got and only my OCD that can't deal with 2mm difference. I have the wb mod tool in 1/4", so I'm going to just drill the nose back and make it a nice 14.125" wb and treat the nose as the nose. Still a tremendously good shape, I prefer it to the normal razor egg.

DLX also revamped the Ishod Twin tails with new dimensions.

Have you seen any numbers? From what I can tell, the latest Ishod twin tails (with the bimmers) have the same dimensions and shapes as the past models...

You’re right. The recent twin tails with the BMW’s on it is the normal shape we’ve seen before. I think they’re talking about a future twin tail. Probably dropping around holiday season this year.

I imagine the 8.38 will be safe. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't able to see the stats on the website before. If it is a true twin, the nose and tail should be 6.8375 which is nice because it is close to the G052 I have now.

That is accurate if the 31.875" measurement is with the tape pressed in. I'm putting my money on 6.785 tips - they probably measure straight across
