GIRL Rick Howard 8.25 (G52) Slick
Indy Forged Hollow 144 stock
Bones Easy Streets 53’s
Bones Swiss
Bronze Hardware
Mob Grip

Has been ages since my last crailtap deck, but I’ve been liking the latest team moves and content from Girl so I thought about trying a new one out. It’s a shorter board at 14inch wheelbase which was something I was curious about and also a Slick which I never tried before. Hyped to try it out this weekend.

Looks great. Cool grip job

How'd you do that?

Is this series actually slick boards or is that what they're calling the series?  I cant seem to find that info anywhere

Son of a bitch now everyone is going to think I copied @Sk.A.T.A.N...

Loooool! You totally ripped me off dude, focus your board please. ;D ;D

@BMCsteve this one is an actual Slick. There's one more from the series (8.0 Brophy), the rest is normal boards.

New member to the group here. I've heard lots about slap message boards but never looked into it til today. Here is pic of my new spring setup and my decks from 2020. All REAL or Antihero. Was riding 8.25 mainly last year but I picked up an 8" Mason Silva for this year. I shoveled off the park and tried it out yesterday and it felt good.

That is a similar grip tape job to what I often did a few years ago.  Then I had some 12 year old ask me excitedly if it was a Revive.  I stopped doing it.

Is the taper on the GO52 as extreme as some say? Does it feel like an 8.25?

I haven’t skated it yet but If my eyes are functioning well I see no taper whatsoever. Quite full shape actually imho.

Supposedly it tapers to 8 inches even at the back truck.

The G027 is a full shape and it 100% tapers to 8” at the back. I believe the G052 is identical except for a slightly larger nose.

The Crail shape guide, for as thorough as it is, doesn’t mention the taper at all. It says “straight rails” which isn’t wrong but doesn’t tell the whole story either.

Could not stay on bigger boards for too long unfortunately.
Went back to skate a Carroll tar heel 7.5 and got crazy consistency. I wish i could skate that board forever.
So i bought this to replace it.




Magenta 7.6 black magic grip.
Venture 5.0 lo. Stock green bushings. Nut above flush.
F4 spit 50mm with swiss 6.
And diamond harware. 7/8th

Only skating shelltoes still size 12. Nothing like them.
Experiment 1s are just to chill. Seriously feel like slippers.

This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Fuck, you’re right. I went to measure it. Basically 8.25 right before and after the front bolts. Shovel nose shape (not as crazy as an FA).
At the back truck before the bolts is like a 8.2, then I wouldn’t say true 8’ but more like 8.1 after the bolts. Still looks like a full round tail tho.

Funny thing is that with naked eye I couldn’t tell that taper at all and I have the 1st Niels Bennett deck on the wall, which is a G50 shape and I could swear it tapers more, but after measuring it actually doesn’t. It’s just a shorter tail and a pointier nose but no taper... tricks the eye tho.

I skated a Brophy G027 and could deffo feel the taper on fakie tricks, I liked it enough to get another one for the pile...It's mad that it's called an 8.25 at all really lol, when i compared it to other 8.25s I have with straight rails, it deffo looks and feels smaller. Great shape though.

I can relate to this! Big boards are fun, but I always find my way home to sub 8 and shelltoes. Love the setup

Its weird i could ride loose low 5.0 ventures on  a small board and wheelbite about the same or less than a bigger board with higher trucks. Dont get me started on 5.2 low ventures on bigger boards. And shelltoes just fucking grip and last long. Specially since black magic kills shoes.

Right click the image, “copy link”, paste the link in between (img width=500) and (/img). Use [brackets] instead of (parenthesis). Your copied link should end in .jpg or whatever file type it is.

I posted it for you, if you’re still confused quote my comment and you can see the formatting.

I absolutely agree about the lo's.. btw I was on Orchards site on lunch break and Robbie G. has a 7.5 out now (you may already know this) and the measurements look ideal..I copped one.. I really shouldn't have, but I did.

I was on fb market place looking for a new pair of ventures and then found this board from the early 2000s for $60.

Deck: 7.75, idk what company, maybe a mini logo?

Trucks: grind kings, i don't know which ones but there the ones with the inverted kingpin so i knew i needed them.

Wheels: Quim Cardona wheels im guessing there 54mm and there my favorite type, swirl wheels, but idk what company they ar so if someone knows and could tell me that would be sick.

Bearings: Bronson g2s i put on after i bought it

Hardware: shortys hardware i also put on after i bought it

Grip tape: No clue
