Twin tail

Would be nice if the twin shapes from all these brands weren't "13.875 -14" and closer to "14.25 - 14.5." Or if they offered them in both WB (13.8. & 14.25) to have a wider net of customers

Seems like the smaller WB serves Thunder and Venture riders, while everyone else that rides Indy, Ace, Royal, etc. are kinda screwed on twins unless they're not a tall person to begin with. Seems like the Real and Deathwish ones are the better options for taller folks wanting a twin not on DLX trucks

i feel like 13.8 is waaaaay too small unless you rider ventures. id be pleased if most ran either a 14 or 14.25 or 14.1 and 14.38 (very dlx oriented wb)

I agree! Perhaps these brands will explore longer WB now that twins have been out for a decent while?

I do suspect most twin tail or noses are this short of a WB to make up for the increased tail and shortened nose lengths. Gives the illusion that it rides like a longer WB and feels balanced, but I'm not sold on that logic, as numbers don't lie in regards to actual effects. Indys on a 13.875 for anyone 5' 9" or taller just sounds too cramped

I've got a new Crob twin tip I'm going to set up with Thunders or Ventures to experiment with soon. I may throw my Indys on there to see how those feel, too

let me know if feel better! I'm an Indy normie and didn't want to change my trucks for that board, but I'm willing to listen to reason (and i need an excuse to try Ventures)

Welcome, Toy, Deathwish, all longer WB at 14.25 usually...provided Welcome makes more and toy doesn't stop making them...feels like DW takes 1-2 drops between twin drops.

That's the thing, the DW had specs close to what I liked but the nose, err, tail haha both ends looked too pointy, just like the standard "OG" Baker shape, so it turned me off to it in the shop I was in. I know you said you perceived it to be not as pointy, but I guess we differ on perception for our preferences.

I'll keep an eye on Welcome, since I've not heard much on their twin shapes or seen one in person yet. Do we know of the Toy Machine twins are BBS? I bought a team Toy Machine deck awhile back and it was like a plank of wood: no body, curves, concave, etc. Didn't feel or look anything like quality BBS wood, so I'm skeptical of trying Toy if I'm not getting PS Stix or BBS or Clutch wood.

That’s too bad with that name there’s a missed opportunity to actually make it look good for those that are.

Ha yeah I was just thinking about those guys who ride Venture forged versions being all over this - looking at Koston and NOT having to redrill his baseplates on that sort of board either.

Any which way, I guess that is their thing, so they do their boards for what PRod and others ride, compared to Ishod on his Real 14.3 wb or others on 14.25 or even 14.5 wb options on their twin boards.

Anyone ever end up getting one of those thank you daewon twins?

The real question is did anyone ever skate ANY Thank You board....

Might be coming close to ending my board madness. The heroin has been my favorite by far. Going to skate a few more sessions before I absolutely call it on this adventure 😂

Wish I could support Fos but that WB is too small; out of all the twins I've tried I think the Foy is the best all around 'generic' shaped twin out there.

Honestly wasn't a huge fan but I was skating it on indy 144s (also not a fan of the pointiness).
The heroin seems to be a perfect balance with the ventures 5.8. Also really liking the concave/razor edge on it!

Took the plunge on the 8.5 Primitive Twin Nose. Dimensions are 8.5 x 32.20. Nose and Tail- 6.9 WB-14.12.

Not too bad, how's it skate? Have you ridden a Primitive before? If so, are the noses 'traditional' Primitive or different?

Havent gotten a chance to skate it yet. Might set it up this weekend if the weathers nice. I’ve ridden a few primitive boards and the nose seems pretty standard

I Dm'd Welcome like a man and they confirmed that Evil Twins have not been deaded off, just don't know when they'll come back

Ordered an 8.38 south central twin nose, sounded like it’s 14.125 wheelbase and 7 on the kicks. I’ll double check when the board gets here.

Vu Skateshop decks (South Central Wood) come in standard, Twin tail & Twin nose shapes... $40

I got it from Vu, talked to the dude on the phone at the shop yesterday and he said it’s just over 14. Like I said I’ll report back. Stoked to try out another twin option for that price point. I have skated the ishod/Bobby deluxe twin tails and the tail just feels too short for my preference, looking forward to the bigger kicks on the south central

Agreed

[skateboarder4life]

i thought popsicles were the same on nose and tail wtf

[frtzgn95]

did i say that i made my own twin? i bought 2 mini logo 8.25 and gave it to my carpenter friend, he made them twins. there is no twin shape in my country and it is the cheapest solution. so, i have 2 twin decks for now.

it is funny that i bought the last 2 mini logo decks. and there is one powell deck in the whole country. i have to go to shop to check if it is the same shape if i want another twin, lol.

may be 10 year later, twins come to Turkei.

edit: there is a lot of dwindle decks. if there is a shape from dwindle that the kicks have same angle and has same finger of flat, i can turn them to twin lol. if anyone knows, hit me. i just hope that the shop which sells dwindle boards may get some jacuzzi twins.

Made in USA? wtf? now who's doing their boards??

[Xen]

I was going to bite on the prim twin but I'm disappointed in the dims of the 8.25 (I'm sizing down from 8.5 to focus on flip tricks for bit) so I picked up the 8.20x32x14.2 SC Asta gonna use some 148 hollow lites and 50mm stf V1s...low and flippy hopefully.

17" WB Twin anyone?
