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.
[close]

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.

forgive me if i somehow missed it, but could someone help me with just how flat the flat as fuck decks really are?

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.

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.

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,

https://www.tactics.com/heroin/day-flies-85-symmetrical-skateboard-deck

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?

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.
