Twin tail

[Cliche10k]

Thinking about trying one. Most likely Real Ishod. Anyone skating a twin tail? Do you like it? Anything you miss about having a bigger nose?

Jake Wooten gotta twin tail

Jake Wooten gotta twin tail

That's because he got FAT AF recently...matched up with his twin chins

That looks really nice.

Some new crail/thank you twins

[Frank and Fred]

Had a great session on my 8.5" pop secret Chocolate twin yesterday but really wish Craig would offer some other wheelbase options.

Is that the G096 shape with 14” wheelbase? I was stoked on this when I recently got back into skating after a months-long break. As soon as mh hips/ legs got more flexible, it feels way too short. I’d love to try a 14.5 wb twin

it is. i have Thunder 151s on it and its manageable. I wouldn't skate it in a bowl or anything but for curbs and flat i like it.

8.5 Ishod might work for you 14.5" WB

Maybe try the Habitat Apex Bold Twin: 8.375" x 32.25" WB 14.375" Feels much bigger than you'd expect.

Heroin 10" Dead Dave twin popsicle coming soon...

I just received that Primitive Prod Twin in 8.5
Just wanted to point out it says "Made In Usa".

I am skating it. What wood shop would you say it is? Feels BBS.

[BALARGUE]

i'm actually wondering.
Made In The USA surely doesn't mean it's BBS though

Watson or clutch I'm guessing. Is it 'thicc' (SC?)

Feels a lot like my Real. But a little thinner.

It wouldn't be the first time a board made in Mexico is labelled as made in USA, but maybe more likely it could be Prime.

I got a Prime blank a while back and they feel surprisingly like BBS although not quite the same (and a little thinner), the woodshop is in USA and they could be big enough to be dealing with Primitive to make special boards like the twins for them.

That is all just speculation though.

[Idk]

This Primitive twin has a 4 on it and again made in USA.

Copying to the Woodshop thread, if that is ok?

Just curious if anyone else has any more info where these are made too.

Powell Experimental twin (in the smaller size than what they have)

[DaSk8D00D]

Primitive twin was highly disappointing due to the 13.75 wheelbase on that shape specifically.All their 8.25s have had a 14” wheelbase so I assumed the twin would too.

 I just knew it wasn’t gonna work after a session and a half. Don’t know what they were thinking with that

Weren't both kicks longer than the standard 8.25? Guess they were assuming that would compensate.

I like the longer kicks but they shoulda kept it the same 14” wheelbase. Even when I would land tricks my positioning and weight distribution felt off. It wasn’t even some shit i was gonna try to get used to after finding my Goldilocks wheelbase and riding that for the past couple years


I was thirsty and copped 3 on sale too. I’m holding this L

Roger enters the chat with a 8.5x14.2 twin and wheel wells. Take my money...

[close]

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).

[close]

Why I have trust issues:

(HLC btw)




The 8.5x31.75 dimensions are correct. However, the WB is fucking 14" if NOT slightly LESS than 14"...WT A F...Still gonna skate it and see how it feels.

It's wide at the kicks like the 8.5 toy machine, it has lots of fingers of flat, almost THREE...was gonna ride indys now I'm not sure what to set up on it...Thunders? Gotta work that WB out a bit...

I ordered one of these last night. I’ll measure it and see if it is consistent with what you found. Tactics had it listed as “symmetrical”.

[Xen]

One of my kicks was slightly longer than the other as well, not enough to notice a difference while skating, but definitely on measuring.

[JANUS]

I just started skating an Ishod symmetrical deck, and I swear the “nose” feels steeper than the tail. I still like it, but it kinda defeats the purpose.

New heroin graphic based off the same shape as the tom day. been my favorite twin so far by a long shot

[goodatmeth]

I've had 7 of those so far and every single one was perfectly symmetrical in kick angle, length, fingers of flat, ...
Sure it's not just a regular Ishod pro model?

It’s one of these


But honestly, after skating today I’m no longer sure I was correct in my assessment, and I meant to get back on here to acknowledge that my body may not be the most accurate angle gauge, and I might have been mistaken. I suppose I could always nerd it up and buy a digital angle gauge. Either way, I still like the way it skates, so that’s really all that matters.

[Frank and Fred]

I've had two 8.5 Ishod Twins and they have also been perfectly symmetrical, as far as I can measure, see and feel. Just wish they were 14.25" WB.

IIRC, I saw an ad for easy riders, or some symmetrical mellow shape out of deluxe that had 8.5s with 14.25” WB.

Yeah, the Easy Riders are symmetrical in degree of kick only (not shape); they really did a piss poor job on explaining the board - they just assumed everyone was going to watch BenD's video.

Will try and 8.5" easy rider for sure but would be rad if they were proper symmetrical shapes... haha... we want it ALL!!
