Skatewarehouse has a clearance thing, the chocolate pop secret twin is 50$, 8.25 and 8.5.

If anyone is interested in trying it out for a discount.

Damn i do not need another board but that is quite a steal lol.

On another note, since a few ppl mentioned riding the twins with ventures, how do you like them overall? Ive been on thunders for years and havent ridden ventures in about 10 years, but was thinking about picking up a set for the fuck of it. Would probably get the hollow 5.6 ones with the 8.25 ishod twin for now unless i get a crail one. Too bad they dont make a 5.6 low.

The DLX twins have a long wheelbase, even the 8.25" if you are cool with ventures pushing it out even more go for it. Personally, I find I can only ride ventures on short wb boards with long kicks; currently running the 8.25 crail with v-lites (hollow pin/forged plates, solid axle).

Solid find, picked one up. I know my knees are going to hate the zero flex but I've always been a risk taker.

The one on sale was the Trahan Dog Perfume Pop Secret Deck 8.5 G069, which is a twin:

But doesn't matter anymore since they are sold out.

[rocklobster]

A good rule of thumb is to look at the pro rider attached to the deck - Malto and Crob usually have twins but the lineup is expanding to Trahan, Brophy, CK, Alverez and Bennett.

Just to be safe check the graphic against the Crail website.

As someone with knee issues (I'm thinking ACL) this is often overlooked. Crail wood is stiff enough without carbon fiber

Just got an 8.5" Trahan pop secret Twin in the mail and holy shit that thing is heavy. Weight doesn't really bother me but this thing is a plank. Def will need to pair with some light Thunders and small wheels. Lovely shape though.

I've been on Venture 5.8 TIs for a long time and was thinking of going standard cast or just the V-Light for some added weight. Guess I wont need to change out the TIs given how heavy this thing is.

[Frank and Fred]

Yeah. This 8.5" pop secret is heavier than a 9.18 Huffer.

The Ishod’s have glitter ✨ in the paint. You can feel the texture. Almost too pretty to skate.

I’ve been debating buying one of those Ishod decks today and I click on this thread and lo and behold… fuck…

What r the (true) dims on that 8.5? Torn between the 8.5 or the 8.3. It’s a slick no?

Good colors all around!

Stepped on the 8.25" Toy machine twin, didn't like it at all shape-wise compared to the 8.5; completely different shapes: 8.5" is full/rounded/wide kicks, 8.25 has narrow pointy kicks (honestly it looked like 'insert skate company 233123's generic shape).

Thats disappointing, from the pics on tactics it looks much more full and less pointy.

[Firebert]

Here’s the 8.25 TM twin, measurements are accurate, shape has a rocker to it, and tapers slightly toward the ends.

Has anyone been finding the Ishod/Bobby 8.38s anywhere that a normal human could afford?

Would love a Crail twin a 8.5 with a 14.25" WB

[finecojeffe]

Would love a Crail twin a 8.5 with a 14.25" WB

And I'd like a crail twin @ 8.75" with a 14"wb. Maybe 14.125"

[flintstagram]

Would love a Crail twin a 8.5 with a 14.25" WB

I would also like to see this. Or you know, Deathwish could drop the price on their twins (all of their decks for that matter). I love that Foy twin shape, but $80 is getting to be a little much.

I'm back on the 8.3ish quasi just for the wheebase/overall length.

Looks like it is an 8.0 x 31.8 Skatewarehouse lists WB at 14"... CCS lists the WB at 14.25" I had my local order x5 from their distributor to see what they are like.

Exactly what they needed in their catalog, my guess is their twin shapes are their best sellers so it made sense to do a 8.0 variant. 14" WB would be a great fit with Venture 5.2 Lo Forged, definitely feeling some tingling on my inside-y parts.

Yeah I have some Thunder Team Titanium hybrids... sometimes that BBS 14.3WB is a bit much for an 8 x 31.5 board

Its long for an 8,  but I guess its the same length as G069 and G096
Fuckin paddles ...

Just making sure you guys know that Dilo posted about a twin nose shape in his story yesterday.
Hopefully some new twin options coming soon

Twin DSM decks sound amazing, Habitat / AWS have been splitting their twin deck manufacturing between BBS and China (DSM probably) so it makes sense that Jacuzzi (DSM) might use the similar mold.
