Just picked this up on Saturday

I do believe this should be posted in the "Post the deck you're riding" thread.

do you really care if your wheels overhang or underhang? does it effect your performance that much?

[NYCasphaltSurfer]

How do like the shape of that Torres deck? I was riding the exact same setup earlier this Summer and never could get used to the nose, so I gave the deck to someone else.

Everyone i've ever met has been bothered by trucks that overhang.

And I just set this up this morning.

You should be able to tell for the most part.

how do you like this deck MS? I'm skating it currently as well, I love most of drehobl's shapes but this one seems a bit off...

[close]

im also skating it and i have to agree with you..a little more pointy and it seems a bit short..never the less still good

[close]

The nose seems narrow even though it's kind of square, and it makes a weird cracking sound when I pop and land.

[close]

Believe it or not, that cracking sound that you hear is the paint underneath the baseplate of the truck.  If you were to unmount your trucks and sand the paint off the area of the board where the mounting holes are the sound will go away.  It's something to do with the kind of paint used to silk screen/heat tranfser the deck, that if you stand and press on the tail you hear an odd cracking sound but it's just the paint crackling at the crease of your trucks.

[close]

Thanks for clearing that up, I guess, but there's no fucking way I'm going to unmount my trucks and sand that shit. I'll just keep thinking I'm fat and my board is crying.

thats really funny...everyone's been thinking my board breaks everytime I land since I've been skating the damn thing. I think its the same size as drehobl's original shape....DELUXE I'm really happy you make this because it's so damn hard to find something so short and stubby!

dan's got a board in the new catalouge thats something like 8.026x32....try that one rolled ankle, if you think this board is too short.

ps if anyone else can point me out to something around the size of 8-.8.3 x 31-31.25, I'd be really, really grateful!

I dont know if it was just the one we got but the newest leo romero toymachine eyeball board showed up 8.25x31.125
It has a really stubby tail. The size doesn't match up at all to what the tag said.

I mean, it's not the best deck i've ever ridden but i have no problem with the nose or shape. Main problem is the size of the wheels, defintely going back to 51mm.
