Being an old fat ass and landing wrong is my guess.

I really hate that short pointy tail, fat broad nose things so many companies use.

I finally switched out my AH BA full sized board. That thing was fun as hell to skate, but I figured I had to step back to something more normal. Kinda wish that I could still get a square tail and a normal nose, or at least an 8.5, but whatever this thing works too after skating it for 10 long days in CPH.

Sure. But I don't want to skate anything other than BBS/Generator and my skateshop didn't have too much to choose from in terms of kooky shapes.

Whats the wheelbase on the Politic Joey Pepper? The 8.25?

How does the Anti Hero 8.5 compare to the B16?

This is what immediately came to mind, but he doesn't want PS Stix, Polars P shapes might deserve a closer look, and i think they're generator right?

Ronnie Sandoval has an 8.5 square tail that is pretty good too.

Well technically the B16 is slightly smaller than a 8.5 x 32. Its a 8.475 x 31.75 so a hair smaller than that. Ive never ridden that particular anti hero shape so couldn't really compare but based on the pic it looks like a round nose and tail. The B16 has a pointy nose and tail which in my opinion gives it the feeling of an 8.5 deck while still having the flipping capabilities of a smaller board. Maybe its all in my head but after messing around with some other 8.5 shapes this one just can't be beat.

Nice setup!  Tangar, how do the Busenitz vulcs stack up against the Pro's?  I've had the Pro's on steady rotation for the last couple years.  I feel like my knees would kill after trying to skate the vulc version.

[tangar]

They definitely feel more stiff, on the sole of the shoe as well as on the ankle support. The Pros are just super cushy in that aspect. I don't skate anything high impact so the cushion on the sole isn't that big of a deal to me. I really like how the toe is a little bit pointier and the T toe being a whole separate piece should make them last a bit longer. I got mine on sale and would recommend giving them a shot if you can find em too.
