Does it look at all like or similar to the number stamps from the Control boards?

Just wondering if they get those, take off the other stickers and put Primitive stickers on it.


Control boards from Woodshop thread:

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=120409.msg3729112#msg3729112



Not a worry either way to me, but I am curious if it is something like this, vs someone else in a woodshop in USA actually making the boards and stamping them in a similar manner.

Clutch have numbers too, but usually a lot smaller with a letter combination for the shapes, but I don't think it would be from them.



* Also copied your post with pic to the Woodshop thread - thanks for posting too!

I like that. That means that HLC started producing twin tails, right? Which then might also be available for other brands, now that they have the presses/cnc. I also like the 14.21wb sounds like the dimensions i was waiting for except width. Maybe we'll get an 8.2 with the same dimensions since they'll never produce a different wheelbase anyways :D

From the photo I can't tell wheel wells. Also is not clear "The nose and tail are the same". So is twin nose or tail? Maybe a hybrid like the G069?

I highly doubt it because Pennswood stamps numbers on the bottom of the deck between the bottom bolts to indicate the width of the deck(1 = 8.1, 2 = 8.25, 3 = 8.3, etc.) This stamp is where the bbs/generator dot/dlxsf roman numeral normally goes. If I had to guess, I'd say generator might be doing some stuff on this side of the border, or sold some equipment to primitive to start pressing their own (and this being the top deck on the press.)

Do you mean the angle of the tips?
I don't want wheel wells, I fear having worse pinch :D It's the wb and tail/nose lenghts. 14.2 wb with 6.79 tails/noses sounds great.
I always wanted the ishod twin with 0.1 substracted from the wb on both ends and added to the tips.

Wanted to try something different when it comes to twin dims (it's always 32"x14.25"WB or sub 32" and a 14"wb





8.2x32x14.2 WB - surprisingly the length isn't bothering me like I thought it would and the ".2" on each dim is close enough to normal to not make a difference I'm thinking. It's also pretty lite and super crispy.

Idk

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.

Never had the Foy Twin but my guess is that the shape is quite similar to the Welcome 8.5” Evil Twin, right? The specs are the same (length is the same if I recall correct and both have 14.25”WB)

Nope, they are totally different.

The Foy is your typical BBS twin shape: like the 8.3x  DLX or quasi twin, you get a rounded, slightly pointy kick (foy is less pointy than them all).

The Welcome was much more full and slightly square; closer to the 8.5 Toy.

I've skated several Clutch boards over the last few years and never had any problems. Tbh I might like them more than PS. Any specific reason Clutch isn't favored? I remember seeing some negative opinions here before, but don't remember why

I copied your post to another thread where someone was asking about those boards.


I guess at the end of the day, everything is down to personal opinion and some people will like or dislike certain woodshops for various reasons.

The pro standard Clutch boards I had come through my hands were good, but the price point boards broke very easily, but that could be said for BBS / DLX boards too, so if you are liking the concave, shape and dimensions, then they should be good for you.

Thanks for that. Tbh I'm not skating hard enough to break boards so that's probably why I never had problems.

I liked the Clutch deck I skated a while back, slightly less stiff than a brand new DSM but slightly more than a BBS. I'd gladly ride another but they seem to be dropping the ball with sending specs or using the right molds at the shop floor. Like Ben Degros' order with subpar wood and Blank Check ordering 8.5 twins but 8.0 / 8.25 only being fulfilled.

What's the letter they use for their twin shapes?
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO
STANDARD - 1.88” - 47.75mm

Do they have a T shape?

That would make the most sense to me.  T for TWIN shape.

Sounds nice. What's the concave and steepness of the kicks like?

Mid to steep kick on the source central twin nose, just took my first skate on it.

I’m running 5.8 ventures with 55ish mm spitfire 97a’s and the long kicks make it very comfortable popping now versus the ishod twin tail which felt like I had to put too much effort into.

The kicks are pretty full, similar to AWS. Switch flips felt like I got a fuller flick off the longer kicks. My real test was how spin tricks would work out, first throw down I spun a back big spin, followed by a switch front bigspin.

This may be my favorite board I’ve ridden in a long time, very stoked on how it feels.

Somebody was talking about this earlier: who was the first to do twin tip?

I believe it was Deathwish for Neen well over 2 years ago. And it was a twin nose instead of twin tail. If not, seems like Ishod's for Real may be the first.

Now, that's for the modern trend. I'm sure brands explored doing twin dims 15-25 years ago when trend shifted from shaped to popsicle as the norm. However, I don't know enough to comment about that time period of  shapes.
