As someone who cares about WB more than just about anything else, it's nice a few companies do it, polar, NHS, PP, some dlx but that seems to have been forgotten since the fulls were released...just measured a russo yesterday, 8.38 full with a 14.63WB, crazy big.

SPoT and SW have WB measurements up but I've been burned by both of them before. @Skatewarhouse 14.44" isn't a WB, it's 14.5.

So few good shapes with a 14.3 wb (yup, right in the middle) - I wouldn't mind a 14.5 WB but that usually comes with super long lengths and long(er) noses.

Fucking went wild on this cruiser.

Santa Cruz 9.9x31.8 15in WB
Ace 66
Jessup Grip
Modus allen hardware
Modus risers
Orangatang 83a 62mm
Hard Luck Great Times ceramic bearings

Went a little fucking regular with the wheels but they're suppose to slide really well so I committed. I think I'm going to have to switch up the risers and get longer hardware though. Never skated wheels this big so I thought I could get away with 1/8in risers. Set-up is heavy as shit.

Ace 44s on an 8.0 are less monster-truckish than 159's on an 8.5. I just finished riding both  :o

62mm is definitely wild. But they really do slide fucking amazing so I'm stoked on them even if I have to put quarter inch risers on it.
Put some rails on that bad boy.
I originally decided not too because I thought it was going to be heavy as fuck. Now I realize it's so fucking heavy all ready I might as well.

  It's a riot alright. A laugh riot.

I'm not a religious person anymore but I was raised Catholic so the a lot of the symbolism still sticks out to me.

i had just one pair of those black and whites and they were awesome, perfect arch support, toe shape and flick! enjoy those two pairs!
i also tried my first wider board (bigger than 8.125) which was a 8.38 and felt it was a little TOO big (size 9 kicks) i went down to 8.25 and its working really well.

On the P-Rod 7 too right now. Very well made shoe, arch support is nice. Generally stable, grippy and durable so far. Infinitely better than the pair of P-Rod 9 Elites I had a while back.

New complete today.  First one in about 2 years.

Quasi 8.5x32.125
Thunder 149 Hollow Lights
Spitfire F4 Classic 99A 53mm

Loving the square nose and pop on this.  It definitely reminds me of some older Habitat shapes.  It skates smaller than the measurements for sure.

It skates smaller because the board tapers down to 8.25 near the rear bolts.

Hmm,ps stix boards always seems to be smaller than what they claim. It has been mentioned millon times on these forums that they measure their boards with concave, not across it like it should be done.
