8.6 x 33 | 14.75" WB Snack Roger Krebs board (I've been watching Arts and Culture a ton so I bought a snack board and a couple snack shirts from Seasons out of Albany, which is an awesome shop)
149 Indy Hollows with bones medium bushings
54mm F4 Conical Fulls

It's been sorta of cruddy over here in New Jersey so after breaking my last quasi on flat 15 minutes after setting it up, I've been mostly just skating my rain board or my cruiser til recently when it was dry enough that it made sense to set up a new board.

Anyone else’s PS Stix been made of glass recently? I delam my quasis after like 3 primo slams. Love the shape but seems they don’t hold up. My last FA was a tank it lasted almost 2 months but I like the stubby quasi tail more than the steep FA one. Not sure why the BB wood seems so much more durable.

[close]

No delams but my current quasi dinged up pretty bad from landing griptape down on flip tricks. Much more noticeable than other decks. I've had 2 other quasis but I have still yet to try a quasi that wasn't an acid ply. Curious to know, did you have the regular decks or the acid ply? My two other ones also dinged up pretty bad but only one straight out snapped prematurely. I like the feel of the boards otherwise.

Interestingly the 2 I’ve insta destroyed were acid ply (Crockett and jake Johnson Jesus 8.25) but my first one was a dekeyzer non-acidply and it held up well. Setting up a proto next so I’ll see how that holds up.

@Sundaynuggets that veneer color bleed is beautiful with the line art.

Thanks! They definitely do beautiful work

Love the BJJ/judo graphics. One of my favourite chokes as well.

Thanks! I picked my three favorite Bjj athletes for that one. Roger Gracie in the middle Marcelo Garcia on one side and Demian Maia on the other

[close]

Nice one. 3 GOATS.

 Even though it’s scratched you can tell Marcelo’s hittin’ a guillotine and of course Roger’s hitting a cross choke from the back.

Exactly!

Yep, that’s the one! For sure, there’s a surprising amount of Bjj/Judo players I know who skate or used to also! There’s at least four or five on Slap that I know of (including Muay Thai)

Nice setup. I ran 33’s on 8.1 and 8.25 and liked them. I went back to 7.8 or 7.9 and switched to Thunders for reasons I will never know.

My last good PS board was an Alien board from the Mindfield days. I haven't had a good one since. Either they break just by looking at them or they're so soggy they feel like they've been in a car trunk for a few years.

Never again.

[close]

I'm on ps binge. I was bummed on the quasi breaking but it happens sometimes. Honestly though I have a proto that's a couple years old that I skate as a rain board and the wood still feels so good. Sometimes you just get a good one. Snack is ps too. I might just be eating good honestly lol. It's always the same break. I always snap the tail. This time it snapped right above the back bolts.

[close]

Wasn’t Snack on South Central wood for the longest time ?

I do remember their boards being south central wood a while back but it’s been ps for a while now.

Basically an Xmas complete. The Hockey 8.18 feels as wide as/wider than a lot of 8.25"s I've had, nice and full. This is about the same length as the 8.5" I had, but with a longer tail (2 fingers of flat).

Skated it for about an hour tonight and i am very into it.

Library skateshop had some but Loophole sells direct if they're out. Also NFG Mfg V-shape are the same and they do direct as well.

I have a set or two of the 33s, one is on an AH 8.125 which is a bit wide for them, but they still go ok on it.

That Dwindle though - is it a special board / sanded the graphic off / anything else to say?  Only because I have seen some people want really flat boards but almost all Dwindle are too steep in some area, even with different options for concave / kicks.

It's a sample board, maybe a bit too flat, but it's 31.1 long so fits my short legs...haha

Yeah interesting, samples that may or may not become a regular thing, as many more people want flatter, the same as the industry is going towards shorter wheelbases right now, I wonder if some companies will be doing flatter boards too.
 Eg, Creature has the "Lite comcave" which I know has been out for a while now, but seemed to be more popular than their regular concave for some people.

It is funny though, a fine line between good and too flat?

How does 8.25 feel on the 149s? Been debating it for a while. Been running Venture 5.6s on 8.25, but i miss the stability of my Indys

They poke out a bit depending on Indy's vs Thunder's but it's not too much.

To me it gives a lot more stability and it feels solid only thing I have a slight quibble on wider trucks is the pinch for crooked grinds but it feels good.

149's on a 8.25' is as small as I'd go and to me a perfect match is 144's on a 8.25" or 8.1" you could go up to 8,38" on 144's or 148's Thunder's but ultimately it's up to you.

I've been skating that combination here and there and that's been my formula and it's worked for me.
