Reed or whoever at DLX that sees this let me get something in an 8.25 under 32" with a Gerwer sized nose and a Worrest sized ass and I promise I'll come back.
[close]
This has always been my dream shape. Back in the 90's I had a few Adrenaline decks that were pretty much this. These days the FA/Hockey 8.25 is pretty consistent with this.
[close]

Those adrenaline boards were the best ever. They felt odd at first then that's all I wanted to skate.

If Fa has "that shape" then I'm gonna have to buy FA
[close]

I have the AA Hockey board up next. Haven't skated a PS in a long time I forget what that shape is like.
[close]

Hard to tell from an online catalogue but the hockey boards look exactly like the adrenaline shape I'm talking about.

If it truly is you're gonna love it. Im mean assuming the wood quality is the same or similar.

Anyone know what wood adrenaline used?

Sfb if you haven't skated that shape it's odd at first. But I swear you'll love it. They just pop and control so well. No idea why it's not the industry standard? So much better than your typical popsicle
[close]
The Adrenaline boards were slightly rounder on the nose and I think they were Bareback but I can't be sure. I still have a team graphic one in my parents garage that broke first day but the graphic is untouched. It wasn't the wood quality that let it down it was me stomping a pop shuv-it before the board had a chance the flex in a little. I went straight to purchase a Jaya Bonderov after.

Damn!!!! You must have really stomped it too because those boards were tough!

If hockey boards are even more blunt I'd be shocked. Or maybe it was just the particular board I had from adrenaline? I don't recall the graphic and can't seem to find an image online. I just remember the top ply was green and it was a Matt reason deck. I skated at least 10 in a row

The pop was incredible. And at the same time it kinda felt like a cruiser board,

It was this one that I broke. I can be a real lead foot, then and now.

I can't find the Jaya I replaced it with.

My right leg has been giving me some issues lately so I started skating this full time, such A fun set up

LOVE that setup^

I've been skating wide shapes for the last few weeks and it's been a blast

144p · « **Reply #16085 on:** February 16, 2017, 03:24:37 PM »

I thought the short length would screw with me, but since I can't really nollie anyways(I can do some shuvs and nollie 5050 and very poor nollie tre's after 50 tries), it hasn't mattered.
It has this crazy light feel that makes my kickflips float pretty well.

wait, there's modern boards out there that feel like adrenaline shapes but the catch is I have to give dill my money?

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.

.... You're pushing it too far. You cannot argue that you can see/feel a 0.06'' difference. You're a bitch if so.

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.

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.

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.
