Twin tail

[JREG]

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 

I've seen the 8.0 Malto twin on a few sketch sites. Anyone seen one for sale at a legit store?

Chris Roberts mentioned Girl was coming out with an 8" twin a few months back and have been wanting to pick one up.

Those are some great looking dimensions, on BBS no less, may have to swap out the Habitat twins for these soon

I was all in until I saw the 14" WB...also other sites listing as 32"..been tracking a deathwish 8.5" non-twin and four different sites, including DW, have totally different specs..how fkn hard is it? I swear I don't know another industry as sloppy as this one when it comes to sizing and/or the actual companies taking pride and making sure their shit is listed accurately on third party sites, let alone their own.../rant

Lowkey want that double shovel...but knowing the 14.125" WB won't work for me, even with forged ventures I'm gonna have to pass,

Tactics has it listed as 32 x 14 which is still manageable, but it's strange that all the major retailers are listing it as 32 instead of 31.8. Makes me wonder if the communications emails from Heroin had a typo or Tactics / SWH are just copying each others homework.

I was just watching the Fos eggzila long post on the heroin IG. He said that measurements always change from catalog to production, but he measures the whole production run himself and what's on the website is accurate.

but then there's the whole inconsistency thing iwith how people measure.

I had thought that it would work out as about 6.8 kicks, but Tactics has it as 7" kicks on that board, which is pretty long for a twin.

Maybe more so twin nose, but either way, some people might enjoy it, especially with longer wb trucks, like Ventures or similar.


Is this more of the shorter wheelbase trend happening, seeing a lot more boards with shorter wb in general from this and other brands?

[Xen]

Def a trend, stumps, tru fit, etc..

It's still a struggle for me on a 14.125" WB with ventures...it's crazy how much i can feel the WB...

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

Did that Crailtap 8" twin get thrown on websites too fast?

I tried to order one earlier and now every link is dead.

CCS and Skate Warehouse had them.

Even the Crailtap website still doesn't mention that G088 pattern.


Excited to see it was a 14" WB and wanted to snag one.

Paul releasing a twin nose board on Primitive in 8.25" and 8.5"



you can see he makes a video about riding this board but it hasn't been available for sale until now (maybe it has before and I missed it)



he made another video here saying he actually decided to shrink it down to 8.125".

The problem with these videos is, he never actually tells you how long the nose is.
If I had to guess, it would be 7" - I think anything bigger would be silly and that is pretty standard size for Primitive nose as well.

I found one website that lists the wheelbase as 14.5" on the 8.5"
https://www.zumiez.ca/primitive-rodriguez-eagle-twin-8-5-skateboard-deck-ca.html

I would hope the wb is shorter on the 8.25" version - closer to what Paul rides I'd think.

anyone have any solid information about these decks? I am probably going to order one anyway.

If they cleared out their warehouse and gave away a Tesla for this, then the wait is forgiven.

They haven't updated their shape guide / fitting guide to include the twin dimensions, looks like they recently added a 8.63 shape to the catalog



You get a glimpse of it when he's skating with Cole after the premiere, if they do it in their standard 8.25 dimensions, take the nose in and give it to the tail they'd be set.

I gotta quit checking this thread. I’ve got a pile of non twins I need to skate, but Roger coming through with the dimensions I want. Fucking finally. Not sure why Deathwish has been the only company offering an 8.5 twin with 14.25ish wb (dw is 14.28).

the fitting guide doesnt even have the franky shape! and its been out for ages. But they also have a new egg shape (its on a franky gold board board + a bob marley board) out now at 8.75" and i believe this is actually going to be Kyonsuke's shape based off seeing what he was skating in that video. P Rod said that Dylan Jaeb was the one who came up with the twin nose in that first video i posted. i think they are super confused because now they dont know what to do because they have multiple entries at 8.25" and 8.5" so they are going to have to re-think that fitting guide.

I'm sure they have a graphic designer and web guy in-house, shouldn't take them too long right? Right?

Thought I'd make a list of brands with twins and by size for reference, I'll start but feel free to chip in.
