Hello twin friends. Is my assumption correct that all Ishod 8.3 twin slicks and Worrest 8.3 twin slicks are identical shapes, notwithstanding of the graphic?

I currently skate 8.3 shop blanks with the same specs as those Ishods/Worrests and also found a shop that has the BMW Ishods on sale so I figured I could stock up on those.

Who skates those, would you recommend them?
why come?

Life is too short to be angry at the Shrimp Blunt intro

Yes, except you can't know what kind of concave you're getting (I-IV) if you buy online, which fucking sucks. Everything else about those decks is amazing and I still love them

Depends on the shop, it doesn’t hurt to ask; I order online and have specified/requested top stain color and 1-4 before with success.

One of the many things I like about DSM boards…the dims could use some love tho…still waiting for them to release a twin…Madness c’mon…

One thing I like about DSM boards…

Is there a dsm twin yet? Or any shape that's close to symmetrical?
I've recently seen a bunch of the darkroom twin tails and they were all about the same concave, perfect steepness in my opinion. This has to be a coincidence right? Guess they should have 4 different concaves too

Nope…wish they would get on it…I’ve moved over to the new &&, flights are consistent.

Maybe darkroom just doesn't just care to put numerals?

No one else does that uses bbs.

Yeah there weren't any numerals, but just looking at and feeling the concave they were all the same as far as I could tell.
If I had to put a number on it, they all felt like a 2.

Twin tail slick:
https://thankyousupply.com/collections/decks/products/madness-twins-popsicle-slick-r7-8-625-skateboard-deck

It is not a twin.

It's called 'twins' because of the graphic depicting "twins".

Width: 8.625"
Length: 32"
Wheelbase: 14.25"
Nose: 6.65"
Tail: 6.5"

Cross post. Finally picked up a Real TT. My last two have been Gliders which I liked a lot and recommend for anyone twin tail curious. Interested to see how the real feels



Real Ishod Twin Tail 8.5 (IV)
Thunder Hollow Light 149
Bones prototype dragons 52mm
Quantum Atoms
Thunder 7/8 Allen hardware

Plus a bunch of Christmas stickers

Back on the 8.3 dlx twin slick after a couple 8.38x14.5 wb dlx decks.

Thought i like the 8.38 better, but im having a great time on this twin again. Will probably go back and forth between these, but will mainly ride the twin.

.

Same as the Alien Owlien deck that I have, that I thought you had too?

That thing is so long with big long kicks, especially compared to anything else, like the Ishod twins, or even a normal board, being more like twin noses.


Gone since 1988.  I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Yep, the WB is shorter on this one, so longer kicks; it appears to be rounded vs square.

The previous one was a boat…felt like a 'vert board'

Don’t get me wrong it’s good to have options but choosing the extreme end (long board and long kicks) seems like a weird choice, especially if you don't offer a smaller size; both kicks are easily 7”. I wonder if suciu is still riding them exclusively?

My favorite twin so far is the 8.3 from quasi, I just wish it was a tad longer as I’m finding 31.75” to be too stubby these days (I know I know I just complained about a board being too long ;); the shape is great.

Runners up is the 8.5 welcome if you like fuller less rounded/pointy shaped kicks.

https://www.chemsfb.com/product/cat-guts-symmetrical-skateboard




SYMMETRICAL CUSTOM DUAL NOSE SHAPE

DIMENSIONS:
8.25”W x 32”L x 14”WB
8.5”W x 32”L x 14”WB
8.75”W x 32”L x 14”WB
9.0”W x 32”L x 14”WB

6.75” Nose & Tail

-100% Made in USA

Just got around to setting mine up this week. I have struggled to get used to a twin shape previously, but I will say new board, new trucks, and I’ve been adjusting nicely. It’s a good quality deck.

My only complaint is that there is no concave on the “noses”. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, the kicks feel like a Powell deck does, not like a Baker/Deathwish (or pretty much any bbs) board where the kicks feel like they hold your foot in position a little better. I prefer the concave to go into the nose and tail, but it’s good and I’d definitely skate another.

I’m still getting used to the 14” wb, but so far it’s been nothing but fun. I’ve landed shitty on it a few different times and it’s held up to my big body (260 lbs). Chems decks are built to take some abuse. Nothing but good things to say about this brand.

Had a Santa Cruz Kevin braun symmetrical deck a year or so ago and had a ishod a few decks before that - twin nose boards seem really fun

The latest batch of Habitat decks sold in EU have made in china stickers.

I saw that on latest Suciu Lone Wolf and Mosaic 20 Years twin decks.
Those decks seems bit wider than older BBS pressed Habitat twin decks, like they are 8.375x32.3 with 14.44wb (declared dimensions are 8.375x32.25 with 14.375wb), with very slight taper to square nose and tail, noses are still like 1-2 mm longer than tail (nose and tail are like 6.9-7 long), bit mellower kicks than on BBS pressed decks.

Older Habitat BBS pressed twin tail decks were 8.3x32.2 with 14.44 wb with straight full rails, square nose and tail are around 6.9. Deck dimensions are little bit shorter and narrower than stated on Habitat site (8.375x32.25 with 14.375wb, sometimes it was said that wb was 14.25).

Like old Stefan Janoski Place Setting series deck that comes with made in Mexico sticker was declared as 8.375x32.25 with 14.25wb, no mention of deck being symmetrical in descriptions and deck actual dimensions were 8.3x32.2 with 14.44wb and deck is twin shaped.

If you are able always try to check those decks in person because specs seems to be all over the place.

Hello.

Can someone say if all the Neen Williams Astrovore boards are twins?



Found some of these near me and really want to try, but one seller say they are not twins, but he maybe be wrong.
