I finally got to set this Habitat Josh Matthews up and couldn't be any more hyped they are again using BBS for some of their production. This 8.25 in particular is one of my favorite shapes they've used.

Awesome Habitat, Heritage.

I just set this one up I've been holding onto. It's from a few years ago. I think it might be BBS since it's pointier than any of the PS Stix Habitats I've skated. Maybe you would know more about this board? It's one of their hemp ply boards.

The thing I like about this board is that it reminds me of one of my very first boards that had a cheetah on it.

Ace 44s
F4 Radial slim 99D 54s
Swiss

Habitat leather Austyns

Killing it Clamy, another damn nice kit. And again with a new pair of Habitat kicks...where in the hell are you getting them from?! Endless supply.

I had the Guru scarab beetle graphic which was also one of the hemp ply boards and they were definitely BBS pressed. I've been sitting on this Suciu traffic light board which came out a few years ago and seeing your Silas board is making me want to set it up.

How are you digging the 44s/8' board combo?? Barely any overhang at all.

Do you remember the Charley Harper series from way back, maybe 05 or 06? I had this Getz board, absolutely loved it. It's the only old board I've kept:

hell yea man. i had a gall one from a different series, i think maybe it was from 06. it was from this series,


but had this graphic


that was my first board, and if anyone has one they wanna get rid of, lemme know haha

I really like the shape. It's definitely a more square board than average, but not enough to feel like you're standing on a rectangle. I've never been a fan of pointy boards, so this one is right up my alley. Definitely would recommend trying one if you get the chance.

I'd consider one for my next board, except shipping from Canada sounds like a bitch

That's sick! It's like a up-dated James Kelch board. I had this one and the Nate Jones one when they redid it.

[shit_for_brains]

Didn't they do that exact graphic for Chima too?

Twin tail is nice. Took me about half an hour to get used to it but its fine. I remember having an element board like this is in 2003? Feels great though. I might have to get another one

Are the ends (not sure what to call them) on the steeper side like a nose or lower like a tail?
