You forgot there is a 8.5 Ishod. Same wheelbase and the two I have had were also 32" long, not 32.2 as Real states. The Neen is probably flatter than the Ishod.

FYI the deck is way over 32in.  I picked one up on vacation just because IDK how long Neen will remain on Deathwish. Its a dope deck but its long.

Makes sense, if both Neen's and Ishod's boards have the same wheelbase, there is no way a twin nose and a twin tail can be the same length, even less so with the mellower kicks of the Neen.

Would like to try a twin tail, but can not find a 7.75 twin tail from my local shops. Do you know that is there even any 7.75 twin tails in the market, or am I trying to find something that does not even exist??

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.
[close]

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.

Wheelbase is 14wb
Tails are 6.84' i believe

OCD in Australia has them

Just switched to an Ishod 8.3 slick twin tail and loving it. So freeing to just ride and not think about nose/tail/direction.
Love love love it. Only thing that bugs me: The graphics suck (got the BMW one).
Someone mentioned to use nail polish remover + paper towels to get rid of the graphic. Just wanted to ask if anybody knows if I'll ruin the slick removing the graphic like that... thanks for the help.

7.75 is verging on a freestyle deck, you could try Moonshine or Mode

Try scraping some off with a razor blade first, just to see.

I cannot recall if the slick is applied over everything, or to the deck before graphic is put on, but I know with another brand, they had the slick on the deck first, then the graphic was over the top, so it makes it easier to get the graphic off.

Depending on what you are skating, using a natural obstacle to rub the graphic off might also work well enough, but that might not be quite what you are going for.

For canadians, just saw that Top of the World in Ottawa has both sizes of the CROB Twin in stock.

Fuck I can't wait for these to be available in the states.

This is such a cool looking board. I also like the sizes that were posted (in this thread I think), though they aren't on the crailtap shape guide.

Probably going to run down the LSH and see if he can order 2 of these for me.

Do yall have certain board companies that you wish made TTs? I’ve been skating nothing but DLX boards for years and want to try something new but don’t want to switch off from skating TT boards.

No idea if the current run is different but as AFAIK the graphics are under the slick. It *is* a shitty graphic but find some ugly curbs and get sliding.

Quasi using the proto shape (same for AWS or any other group with square shapes; yes AWS makes one but it's a standard shape).

Dwindle using Resin 7 (my guess is Madness will eventually do one).

It's interesting that there is a resurgence (thanks to ishod/DLX), hasn't been one for over a decade where multiple brands were making them.

Curious too how many are actually the same concave and angle at both kicks, compared to some places just saying both kicks are the same but the decks are still made on the same molds which have different nose and tail angles.

Can't remember where but a couple of people said their twin tails were not the same.

I know from having the Ishod boards, they were, as I guess the Neen boards too, otherwise something would have been said about them by now.

Yes, Dwindle / Excel depending on whether they have changed, both in China.

Same concave and feel though.

There's been one count (?) of an ishod TT not being a TT and the SC VX McCoy (white one) that's not marketed as a TT (but has been mentioned by SC reps that it is symmetrical as far as kick steepness/degrees of kick) isn't; there is a kick that is longer and you can see it shaped differently once you grip and are staring down at the shape = one is clearly a nose and one a tail and you can easily pick it out every time.

The Neen board I'm on feels true, I can't feel or see a difference at all. That DW 8.25 is the best TT for me so far and the only negs I could throw out is that it could be just a hair longer and steeper.

Yeah I think that one Real was printed on the wrong shape, same as per a Mason graphic on a twin if I recall, as has happened a bit during the rush post shutdowns, as per a couple of other decks I have had  in recent months too (not TT though).

I recall one normal board from a long time ago where the deck must have been cut the other way round, which felt so weird to skate and was definitely different to the others with the same graphic from the same lot.  Passed it on to someone else pretty quickly, but from that it was curious that it would make such a difference, so for some people who have cut the nose down, or changed the shape, it would still have a definite nose concave and a tail concave.

Different presses for the twins is a must though, as well as making sure the bolt holes are centered.

Crob specs, no idea how legit (if true, real close to the G052:
https://doodah.ch/de/chocolate-chris-roberts-twin-chunk-orange-cb4163g069.html

Shape G069 (Twin Tip):
- Wheelbase: 14.0''
- Nose: 6.84''
- Tail: 6.84''

G069 (nice work there ;)

Key word: "eventually"; they are the only brand under dwindle with shapes, slicks, wheel wells, grip cutouts and shit, makes sense that if anyone under that umbrella would do one, it'd be them.

I think the Mason on a TT board and the Ishod TT not on a TT board were probably meant for Ishod, Mason or other guys from the team personally, but got mixed up along the way and ended up in a shop. They ride their personal shapes exclusively (Mason the 8.28 and Ishod the 8.3 TT slick) but DLX makes them boards with their shapes but with all the other Real graphics as well so they don't get bored of having the same graphics all the time.

Regarding the graphics on Ishod's slicks, on all those I have seen, the graphics is printed over the slick, not between the wood and the slick, same for Worrests, but I have not seen the BMW ones in the flesh.

The Crob twin shapes are G069 and G096, someone is probably pretty pleased with himself at Crailtap for this! ;D

That definitely makes sense.

Noticed the most recent Ishod clips are on the Tanner towel graphic or something and was wondering, but didn't really give it much thought.

I'm under the impression that I am the only one that likes Ishods beemer graphic. I think have had all of them and this ones my favorite for sentimental reasons, so I got two.
