I had a look too - we have two at the shop and it's definitely a more custom BBS shape. Deeper concave.

I bought the Baker Reynolds Reaper the same time
 and can confirm the steep concave. Glad I upped the size of my wheels and went bigger with this set up.

Krooked Cromer 8.25, 14.38 wb
Thunder 148 hollow lights
Spitfire f4 101 53mm conical

https://www.instagram.com/p/CH6oOeGF4ZK/?igshid=1sq9w6ujpd5h1

Deluxe top to bottom on this one (except bones super reds).  I had sworn off thunders due to wheelbite, but after seeing Ishod and Christian Henry running riser pads on thunders I thought I’d give it a go. With the 3mm riser pad, I believe this is basically the height of forged indys. So far so good.

How’s the 14.38wb feel with thunders?

Only one session in, but they felt good. I was rolling indys on a 14.38 before I set this one up and there wasn’t a drastic adjustment.

I had a look too - we have two at the shop and it's definitely a more custom BBS shape. Deeper concave.

It's also got a mellower tail than most bbs decks and a really nice full shape. I put off trying one for ages because I figured it was the same as the deathwish shape (since they're both 8.25 x 31.5 and bakerboys) but then I saw a good high res profile shot of one online and the tail caught my eye. Combined with the fact it's a 31.5" deck with14.25" wb, the birdhouse standard mold might genuinely be my favorite non-dlx BBS shape.

Only other one that's close is the FA 8.25 but even though I like it I usually skate like shit on them because of the steep tail. If I could get a bbs deck with the FA nose, birdhouse tail, and dlx 8.28 concave/dimensions I'd get wetter than a blind lesbian at a fish market.

This is just the motivation I needed to run risers on my Thunder Hollow Lights. What riser are you using? I have some pink Krooked risers at 1/8 laying in the ol’ toolbox.

1/8 lucky risers. Definitely less wheelbite, but doesn’t feel tippy with the added height. Let me know how it works out for you.

Thunders with 1/8 risers is 100% a game changer. I did run them, it definitely made me fall in love with the truck even more. It almost made me like them better than aces.

That’s a bold statement. Alright, I’m going to throw them on tomorrow. I’m getting wheel bite with 52mm wheels so let’s see how it goes.

i tend to rock 53 or 54 with my 44s/149s on risers and i don’t get too much wheelbite (at least anything super noticeable). It’s worth mentioning the i’m 6’3”and 195 and ride my trucks on the looser/surfier side.

Ha! I’m trying buddy. Add tail slides to a long list of my shortcomings. To make matters worse a lot of the marks on the tail resulted from shameful blunt stalls on parking blocks.

I’m interested in hearing what you think about the girl board. When they are good they are good, and I really enjoy the dimensions they offer.
