The Set-up Thread

[Paco Supreme]

also does anybody know of any 9"+ boards that have a length over 33"? i thought the 9x33 would be good but im still feeling pretty cramped on it. fucking long ass legs.

Probably wildly out of what you might be after but theres this Deathbox Board

Also, fuck Slap for making me nerd out on all this stuff. It used to be really easy for me to buy decks. Had to go to three bloody shops to find a shape I liked!

[close]

right? I've been eyeing up boards for nearly a month now but can't pull the trigger because I'm worried about 1/4 inch here and there. Good call on the wknd though, I'm all about square noses too so them and quasi are defs on on my list (amongst like 6 other boards that I've scrawled down in some mad scientist comparison chart in my diary)

***
are Quasi 8.5's really only 8.25's liked was discussed on here a while back?

Don't know about the 8.5s but the Quasi 8.25 I had a while back definitely skated and felt like an 8.

PS 8.5s taper so they skate a little more like an 8.38

I thought the orange anti hero Ive been on is 33.25. could be wrong though.

[close]

yeah thats what i read online, also one of them 9x33.25's is most likely is gonna be my next board, i was just wondering if some random company i dont know about is making like a 33.5 or something like that.

speak of the devil, two things: one wow $64, and two that pirate ltd 10.375x33.75 board looks fucking good mate. also this is the one benefit of being hooked up from skating that i think would be cool, i could get like a 9.125 x 33.75 damn near 16"wb symmetrical popsicle shape board made just from asking asking about it, but anyway thanks for that SJ im gonna go look at socal's backlog of boards on there now.

Rightio, I've had like 20 of the shorter Quasi 8.5 shape (x 32.125) in a row. 8.5 across the front truck and 8.25 across the back truck. I also just got a WKND 8.5 that was identical, taper and all. I've also had one Pizza (against my better judgment) with the same shape. All PS Stix

Really? I've had a Hockey 8.5 and a WKND 8.5, they were identical in shape and definitely tapered.

[ungzilla]

It sounds like we agree, and I can add Hockey to the list of boards I'm able to buy if I can't find the usual shit. Hockey is PS Stix too IIRC.

[shit_for_brains]

I've seen people saying they switched to bbs/gen but every FA/Hockey board I've had, including the ones that just came in the other day, have been PS.

watch out for some of the 8.5 quasis though. I have seen some that are 8.5 and 33 in long and that makes zero sense to me

Damn, those are the ones I like. I guess they should be more clear about the dimensions because the feel of the two different 8.5s is so different.

Quasi measures all their shit 1/8" over. I had an 8.62 from them that I measured dead on as an 8.5

Christmas complete


Black Label 8.75
Independent 159s
Swiss Labyrinths the older ones, not the L2.
Bones Miller 58mm spfs. The ones with the cat graphic. Mostly I bought these because of the cat.
Jessup
Indy risers, hardware

[Madam, I'm Adam]

This is pretty random - a Big Mess board that rips off the Mike Carroll Plan B graphic. Also Indys and Neil Blender OJs.

I only have two boards, a larger one for bigger transition/cruising and standard. After about seven years, I switched up the large cruiser to this. I bought this board intending for it to be on the wall, but even though I like Bloom County it's not the Carroll OG so I decided to skate it.

It's seriously a football shape, like 9.75 in the middle and 8 something at the nose and tail. Also I'm curious to see how people react to the graphic.

10-year-old griptape job aside, that's it. Since the grip is fucked on the edges it looks misshapen but it's not. Definitely not used to this shape.

[augustmoon]

lol, do you cut your griptape with a dull butter knife?

shape looks sick.  digging the football shapes lately.
