how's the team eyes shape now @Brad Breath  ? full like the 8.5"?

Got the 14.62” wb and little to no taper.  It’s close to the full shapes.  I dig it.

 I love how this looks for some reason.

how's the shape of the 8.75" AH? Top view?

[close]

I’ve got the same deck, on the way, from a Black Friday purchase.  Currently riding a Krooked “Team Eyes” 8.75”.

 I used to ride the 8.5” full shape from Deluxe but they’ve taken those out of their lineup.

I may stay with the 8.75” until they stop making them.

Just a heads up that I've seen this listed places as the full shape w/ 14.75wb but it's actually the standard AH w/ 14.625 WB

never skated a baker OG mellow. will see how it goes!

rolled a bit in front of the house on the baker with the indy stage VIIs. not sure if it was the mellow tail on the baker, but the pop was off.
decided to try the tensor mag lights, found a decent price on ebay for a lightly used pair....

I usually ride Generator decks but I miss ps boards and it’s very snappy light pop with my ventures and it’s shaped the nose is mellow and slightly pointed and the tail is long and super round and steeper I really like it I will post pics of the top of the deck today

I think sometimes Baker boards can feel a bit weird when switching from another company or woodshop

That Rowan Baker looks terrible to me shape-wise. So pointy and unsettling to look at... graphic is cool though! I guess it's just not my cup of tea. Hope it skates well though!

Thinking about setting this Cole Zero up but not sure yet. Current Primitive still has some life in it.

@funeral_tuxedo
thanks! yeah, i love stage VIIs on antiheros/krookeds/darkrooms. I like a steeper tail, and go with I or II deck stamps.
wasn't feeling the indys on this baker. but the tensors are better.

@DarkPools
never tried a baker OG mellow shape before, so giving it a shot. definitely more tapered nose/tail than what i've been riding lately. will see how it goes, not too bad so far after switching trucks. but will probably go back to darkroom + indys next.

Threw some old parts on this muska I got yesterday for maybe flatground

7.75 deck
Seasons x spitfire 53 classics
Forged hollow baseplate and regular 5.2 hangar, not sure how I feel about the gold but it’s all I had forged since the wheels are a little bigger than I wanted

So my quiver is now a 7.75 a 8.1 and a 8.6

Those are the newest "old" parts I have ever seen.

Hah, probably cuz i put 5.8s on there instead of 5.2s so it kinda makes it look off, or in this case longer than it actually is.
