Twin tail

[goodatmeth]

I want a twin nose but not Neen's one.

Same I'd like a twin nose solely for transition. Currently riding a regular popsicle for the first time in years and a fat steep nose is awesome for noseblunts and basically all nose tricks.

[JANUS]

Lol why not Neen’s, though? Because Neen?

The Habitat / Alien Workshops are a hybrid, not too pointy, not too full, but steep and long like a nose.

And the decks are long...WB is long...it's a big boy board for sure...the kicks are def more like a shovel nose than a rounded tail.

The Foy twin is more hybrid but I'd push it into the rounded nose category.

I asked Tactics about that Delfino board and they said it's a twin shape but the nose and tail are different lengths. That seems contradictory to me but that was their answer.

Schmidt said in a nine club if you cut a twin out of a stock mold, it won’t be a true twin. maybe this is one of those cases.

P-Rod sets up another twin (nose)

6:45ish... not out yet.  Will cop when it eventually drops.

Would AF-1 66's be too big on an 8.5 Girl/Chocolate Twin Tip (G096 Shape)? I wanna use my same trucks I'm on, but I wasn't sure if that would hot rod too much or not.

I guess I could try the heroin 9.5 razor egg if I want my trucks to be more snug but it looks pretty pointy at the ends. Looking for more of a nosey, blunt end

Funny enough, I'm in a super similar situation. I got 2 of the G096 from their Spring sale that are coming in a few days. Luckily i have some pretty fresh Mindy 149's that should fit beautifully for my intro to the twin tip world.

The AF-1 66's are pretty big trucks, they stick out on the front of my ~8.7 tapered Black Label egg, but are pretty flush toward the wider back end. I can confirm once the decks come in, but my guess is the 66s are gonna stick out by a noticeable amount. Personally, I would try to size trucks down, or board up.

I really hope it's like the 8.25 dims (31.875 x 14), would be perfect with Venture 5.2 Lo V-Hollow

Yeah, the good professor noticed that crobs TT deck had different fingers of flat.
You probably could get a symmetrical twin out of a stock mold, provided that the kicks are the same angle, and that you drill it in equally from each side.

Good to know. I'll just lurk online for some 8.5 ish trucks before snagging a G096, hopefully there are some new graphics on this shape by then.

Stoked to add a twin tip as an option

This video made me lol several times. These guys were unintentionally or maybe intentionally like a comedic duo.

I'd bet good money that it will be just [that] like their 8.125s (which are awesome, they skate like 8.25s).

Not surprised he stuck with the 5.6s.

has anyone gone from riding a pair of trucks that were broken in on a twin tail to then skating those same trucks on a "regular" board?

currently skating the ishod 8.5 tt deck and have foy's 8.5 deck coming in the mail. but after that, i don't have any tt's on ice because they're a bit scarce (as everyone has pointed out), especially in the 8.5 size.

didn't know if anyone has been in a similar situation, and if going back from a tt to "regular" shape was weird at all.

thanks!

I've done it and it wasn't an issue. Ideally when you're riding a twin your trucks break in evenly and wear evenly, so going to a standard shape really shouldn't be an issue. I've even gone from regular to twin tail and it's been ok, I just rotated the bushings a bit.

I hate that they only have the twin tip in one size. Make an 8.5, Santa Cruz!

I’m very very happy with the Foy twin shape.

What’s the concave and kick steepness like?

[frontsideNECKTIE]

I've got about 8-10 sessions in on the Crailtap G096, 8.5 twin nose and yo... this is sick.

I think they referred to it as a twin "paddle"? I guess since the tips are nose-esque, but mellow and smallish - but regardless, it works super good for me. Having each stance on a consistent kicktail has been superb. I've found I really like shorter wheelbases (14" on this board) and sizing down the width from Crail's Couch shape, and similar others, has given me more.... agility? Not that it should be a surprise...

Should have gotten the Girl Malto graphic cause the Choco Crob graphic kinda blows. Blue stained bottom ply is cool tho. Didn't realize there's only like 3 graphics for that shape.

Ridden three, all were mellow-medium. Great board (even if the dims measured just under what they spec).

I’d say medium concave mellow kicks. I think at least the first run they did the dimensions were off, the orange as well as blue Foy gators have felt like they are the right size. I didn’t bother to measure them, but they felt bigger than the Foy yellow death horse graphic that I skated a year or so before trying these ones. That yellow death horse had me thinking twin tails weren’t for me. Now I’m all about them (for the time being at least).
