FYI **NEW** Chocolate Chris Roberts Ink Blot Twin now available in 8.0" not listed on Crail site yet...
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
[close]

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

Yeah, I was hoping they'd make this a 31.5 with ~6.6 nose/tail.

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
Looks like Jacuzzi is testing out some twin nose and twin tail shapes. Never skated either so I'm curious.

Pleaaaaase normal wheebases and lengths....Really hope they do something unique to the brand since it's DSM...proper 8.3 would be nice.

that is the ishod, but with 14.3wb

I don't math so good.
My guess is they just trimmed the sides of the g069

But according to google.

Ishod 8.0:
CENTER WIDTH (IN):   8.0
LENGTH (IN):   31.5
WHEELBASE (IN):   14.3
NOSE (IN):   6.55
TAIL (IN):   6.55

G069:
Width:8.25″
Length:31.875″
Wheelbase:14″
Nose:6.84″
Tail:6.84″

G080 (my guess):
Width:8″
Length:31.875″
Wheelbase:14″
Nose:6.84″
Tail:6.84″

G086 (my wish):
Width:8″
Length:31.555″
Wheelbase:14″
Nose:6.6″
Tail:6.6″

Edit: math

Got x5 G080 8.0” Chocolate Ink Blot twins in today.  Engraved specs match what I posted earlier, however there was a sticker listing a 14.25WB as well :o
BOARD SPECS MATCH THE ENGRAVED SPECS!!!
I did skate a deck for about an hour today, and it is definitely more responsive than the Ishod twin.  The kicks are a tad longer, but with the smaller wheelbase it makes it feel like a smaller board and manuals are a tad bit more forgiving.  Nollie pop timing is different, and I am gonna have to get used to that, due to the board popping a tad sooner.
Also a welcome surprise was the matte finish on the graphic & embossed "Chris Roberts" very small on each side of the Red Square in the middle of the deck.

Pleaaaaase normal wheebases and lengths....Really hope they do something unique to the brand since it's DSM...proper 8.3 would be nice.

I DM'd Louie (like a man):
"We are trying to dial in a shape right now, and hopefully by the fall have them in the line"

Would be great if they did their own twin mold vs Habitat / AWS, their lengths are tough to get used to.
Venture Truck Height:

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

I didn't check the latest Jacuzzi boards, but Dwindle in general seemed to have shorter wheelbases on a lot of their usual boards, so it would make sense to have twins with 14.25 wb or similar as well.


* Had a bit of a look, 8 has 14.0 wb, 8.25 and 8.5 have 14.25 so that would be about right.

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

Must have been the team board, with a teddy bear or something that was 14.25 wb on 8.5 (Louie board - I checked) but as long as John Dillo doesn't get a twin board, you should be good.

That's the plan anyway.


* Not this one - this one has 14.0 wb unless they have an error in the listing.

He's been running the Cosmic Cat graphic for a while, I'm down with that. I hope they just release these in regular 7-ply and slick without the VX, I can't deal with the $20 price increase with faster razor tail.

These are regular 7ply.

Yup, Razortail keeps me off VX/flight each and every time I think about getting one as I remember back to how fast the one I skated filed down; I suck at manuals but do them, and I'm not breaking boards so don't need it.

FYI - the MM boards dims are listed above incorrectly, 32.5 is a hard pass for me,might dip on that Asta tho:

That Asta graphic is hawt, haters :)

I'm going to bite on that McCoy, interested dims...I think my OCD can let the 32.05" slide.

He's been running the Cosmic Cat graphic for a while, I'm down with that. I hope they just release these in regular 7-ply and slick without the VX, I can't deal with the $20 price increase with faster razor tail.

These are regular 7ply.

Yup, Razortail keeps me off VX/flight each and every time I think about getting one as I remember back to how fast the one I skated filed down; I suck at manuals but do them, and I'm not breaking boards so don't need it.

FYI - the MM boards dims are listed above incorrectly, 32.5 is a hard pass for me,might dip on that Asta tho:



Doing the calculations on that, it just doesn't add up to much more than 32 so 32.05 is more likely than 32.5 in length, regardless of what it shows on the board.

I recall one board having dimensions listed on it like that which were incorrect, but I guess you wouldn't want to be the person to get one just to check and have it not work out for you.


8.4 x 32.05 with 14.24 wb and 6.8 kicks seems way more likely.


The other one is 8.25 x 32 with 14.2 wb and same 6.8 kicks so that all adds up.  A plus 0.04 wb addition matches the 0.05 length sort of, but not a 0.5 increase in length.


The info on the spec sheet looks correct, so you could look up the shape and see if it has been used before, SC-390.

I tend to trust engraved specs over listed (that's just me) but something is off, truck mount area would come out to 2.3" that's a bit larger than normal.

SC-390/1 are new shapes.

Guess we'll have to wait and see when it's out in the wild.

After skating the new Crail G080 8.0" twin for a couple sessions, I think it might be exactly what I needed.  The 14" wheelbase fits my shorter legs a lot better and I feel like I have overall better control of the board. 

Manuals are much better than before as I have a tad more room for error, as compared to the Ishod I have been skating for 1.5 years, manuals were like an on/off switch...

Next, just need to relearn the flick timing & nollie pop timing  :)

The agility and consistency of crail's 14"wb twin was remarkable for me. Felt like I actually had some board control instead of forcing every trick. A bit strange keeping my feet closer together, but once I found my footing, I felt like I had the power.
Wow sorry, didn't realise I was dealing with a sick cunt here

I had the G069 and yes, consistency is crazy. I was 10 days without missing a kickflip and I suck. It was pretty cool.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

NHS CS says the board engraving is correct...we'll have to wait and see!

Set up a Ishod 8.3 twin and it felt a lot more nimble than my Bobby Krooked twin? I put the Krooked over my setup and it fit perfectly. I had stepped on the old deck before taking it off and it definitely felt bigger than my new setup.

Concave?  Angle of kicks?  Even where the grip sits on a board can change the way it looks and feels - had that with a few of the same boards over the years.  Thought I was going nuts, but other people stood on them and said the same, where one feels bigger than the other, even though they are the same dimensions, etc.
