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.

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.

Probably 14.25 WB

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

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.

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.

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 😂
[close]

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.
