sk8mafia 8.25, not hyped on the graphic but it was the only 8.25 around and i got this deck for free- its like 2 years old thought it'd skate weird but skated just fine.

My cruiser and my regular set up. Just worked a long three month job on a ship. It's time to treat myself.

I'm skating that hockey now. I love the short wheelbase on that that feels long for some reason.

What size trucks for the Anti Hero Cardiel 9.2? Can I use 149s?

You could get away with 149s, it tapers quite a bit over the front trucks. I had one a while back, same shape, different graphic, but with 159s. they were perfect.

Stanley - that's sick! I've always wondered about a wide and low setup.

Set this up over the weekend. Definitely feels like a new 8.25 shape AWS is using. Really full shape all around with a monster nose (7') and tail (6.8').

I got an 8.25 Yaje and it was the same, big nose and tail. Mellow concave too, I love it.

I love the shape too! I almost bought an FA board but this nose was better.

I'm dabbling in an 8.5x31.5 Hockey board right now and I really, really like it.

I'm on the white Jason Voorhees one. WB is 14" which is kind of crazy but I like it. I wish it was longer so I wasn't sliding my baseplates at my wallie boardslide spot, but if it was magically able to retain the qualities of the short one.

heritage: digging the color scheme of the set-up.  how are those hyperfeel bruins?

I've really been loving this shape.  I've been toying with the idea of a "tech setup" for learning tricks, manual tricks etc but this just feels too good.  Also the biggest board I've setup.  Closest to this was a Real 8.43 and a Quasi 8.5 which tapered a good amount.

Yeah I am REALLY digging the shape. I was a little worried it would be too much of a boat feeling, but it's been great. I am wondering if the tail length will ruin me to go back to regular boards.

Thanks Art! Loving the Bruins. Tight fit heel to toe, great heel lock. A little more rigid feeling than most but I am a fan of that feel.

Cracked my board today on a frontside halfcab, bummed really liked that board.
Set this up, looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

Hyped on this graphic and shape. Deluxe's 8.38 boards are outta this world.

Krooked Omar Salazar guest board.  8.38 Full shape, third one in a row of this shape.  I don't usually buy boards online, but I was shopping for pants and saw this on sale.  Graphic is too good, didn't put any stickers on.

Gotta love DLX's Full shape, always feels like home when I set one up. Thinking about trying some Crupie Wheels, and maybe some harder bushings next

[fur lined sea]

Great setups on this page. Love the Alien Heritage! I'm sitting on a few 8.25s Aliens (Yaje and Joey boards) and I'm hoping I can make the switch back from 8.

Shuffles, those Expos are great. They're a good summer shoe.

Agree with everyone on the full shape. I had a full 8.06 Krooked, it was perfect.
