No problem! I wonder if Daewon actually rides the twin given his truck setup is so funky.

With his trucks, doubt it; just a board with his name on it.

PS Stix so I'll pass, which other brands does PS Stix do Twins for?

I doubt Thank You is pressed at Clutch, the K mold is their standard shape. Could be Tactics recycling images.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO
STANDARD - 1.88” - 47.75mm
FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

5.0 ,5.2, 5.6, 5.8 & 6.1 HI
STANDARD - 2.09” - 53.09mm
FORGED - 2.04” - 51.82m

Not sure they do anything else twin; everything twin seems to come out of BBS (barring NHS twins which are just DSM boards; which they'd do something bigger than the 8.25" mold they use).

In my experience PS lasts 2 weeks and then they became soggy. Clutch the same but that comes from day one.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

That welcome looks sick! More like a twin nose(6.75). Been looking for an 8" twin to try. Also 14" WB! This is rare coming from welcome. Love the name "evil twin".
https://www.tactics.com/welcome/clairvoyant-80-evil-twin-shape-skateboard-deck/black

I skated one a few months ago and enjoyed it, however I hate the graphic and the glitter underlayer... the shape and concave was awesome, but since they can be hard to source from my local, I just skate the 8.0 Ishod twin or the shop twins they have

What he said about PS Stix, had a good time on my last Clutch deck which felt stiffer than a BBS but less than a DSM R7.

Yep, 2 weeks or so and PS sogs out...but if you are skating a lot/'every day then it's no big deal I guess...board is probably done anyway at that point.

If I remember right, clutch used to chip/razor tail easy; been a minute since I've ridden one.

Hey guys, after using several Deluxe 8.3 Twins for quite a while, skating non-twin tail decks the past year, having some serious board madness along the way, it seems that a year later I am back on the Welcome 8.5" Evil Twin, it's one of the best shapes I've skated, they seem to last a long time and I am gonna try to stick with that one to get some consistency :D

Was it the twin shapes that Welcome are not doing in the next drop or so, someone else said?

Stock up on them while you can any which way, if you like that shape, cause you never know when you might get more.


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

Has anyone skated a Toy Machine twin?

https://www.tactics.com/toy-machine/bury-the-hatchet-825-symmetrical-shape-skateboard-deck

I've skated AWS, Welcome, Deathwish, Real, Santa Cruz, and Thank You twin tails but never any Tum Yeto ones. My favorites have been the Welcome, AWS, Deathwish, and Real decks.

That Toy Machine deck he’s talking about is also available in 8.5. Don’t know if Tactics has it, but they did make them

Thinking about trying one. Most likely Real Ishod. Anyone skating a twin tail? Do you like it? Anything you miss about having a bigger nose?

Get a twin with a bigger nose?

The only thing I've noticed useing twin tails (that are on the shorter end) is the angle for krooks, it's just a bit steeper (also depends on what truck/pinch you have going on, WB, etc.). The longer the kick/WB the mellower the angle for krooks.

All aboard the Twin Tip bandwagon, if Baker did the B2 shape in a twin that would be interesting.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO

FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

5.0 ,5.2, 5.6, 5.8 & 6.1 HI
STANDARD - 2.09” - 53.09mm
FORGED - 2.04” - 51.82m

BBoys just need to make some more Foy twins...I keep trying other brands but the DW foy twin shape is just sooo good (so good I had to jump right back after trying the habitat 8.5).
