You can't really generalize about deluxe shapes, depends on the batch of decks.
I've ordered 5 of the same graphic and the concave/kick ranged from mild to very steep.

Truth, but this is true of any board mfg. I ride the AH 8.25 "larger" eagle when ever I can get my hands on it (which is 90% of the time), or what ever other graphic they are putting out on that shape (e.g. current Hewitt grape dope graphic). I couldn't even begin to count how many of the "exact same" decks I've had, but they are all totally different from one another in subtle ways. 

[close]

I've been skating nothing but B16s for a while now and almost every one is slightly different. The one I'm skating now has more flat space in between the trucks and where the tail starts to curve, so the tail hits the ground really soon compared to the other B16s I've had; that and plus the tail is mellower than usual on this one too so it makes kickflip tricks a bit more difficult for me and I have to put more effort into flip tricks than usual to land em. I've had ones in the past where the nose was slightly steeper, one where there was more concave than usual, etc. There are slight, barely noticeable differences everytime, with big really noticeable differences on occasion.

isn't this the exact problem dwindle has claimed it fixed with it's individual press and computer cutting

I like the idea of one deck pressing, but at the same time.. Isn't part of the fun of picking a deck the variation and imperfections? Like picking up a hot female with a birthmark or gimpy leg.

Kinda why buying shit online. I appreciate the analogy but, I like to have an idea of what I'm working with.

At a homie's house right now,but:

Slave 8.625
Indy Grant Taylor 159
OJ From Concentrate 54

Finally, someone on Slap is trying Primewood 

Also, really digging the concept behind and the graphic itself

[Level 60 Dwarf Paladin]

I almost picked up a prime blank the other day. measured the wb though, 8.1" board with a 14.75" wb... no thanks.

[144p]

Their dimensions are wild.
8.25 with a 14.75 wb.

[j....soy.....]

I get the vibe they aren't that good.....

Anti Hero AA 8.06 (maybe his last AH board?)
Ace 44s
Radial slims 53mm 101d

Habitat Expos

[Nate]

Heroin Craig Questions 9"
Ace 55s
Spitfire Lance Mountain 56, probably already down to 54 with all the sliding around I do.
Bones reds

And in case anyone appreciates the top


Really big fan of this board. Its my first 9 ever. Been really into tranny lately but I take it everywhere and can do all of my fliptricks on it too. (Not too many.)

Hyped on that Andrew Allen board.  This has probably been discussed before but don't Ace 44's have an 8.25" axle length?  An 8.06 on 8.25 trucks doesn't seem that bad.

I've tried it on that same 8.06 shape and it was just like riding 149s on a 8.25.

I ride an 8.06 right now and it most certainly does not feel like an 8.25. It feels more like an 8. The 8.06 full shape feels like an 8.12.

If Ace 44's are 8.38 on a size 8.06 ( 8 ) board, that's a 0.38 difference. If 149's are 8.5 on an 8.25 board, that's a 0.25 difference. How does that ratio feel the same?

[art hellman]

found out this Polar Boserio 8.5 ive been skating has a 7.12 nose. 

any of the dimension-nerds know of any other DLX/Generator/Pennswood decks out there with such a big schnozz?

It feels the same because I don't let my mind get fucked by a 0.13 difference.

Word. I'm being too technical.

I've rocked ACE44s on an 8.18" before, no problems at all; better to monster truck than magic carpet imo.

I'm on my 5th Polar in a row. Can't get enough of the shorter lengths and big ol noses and tails.
