Custom shape made by a man I found on the insta explore page called PrettyRad. I pitched the idea of the Jason Lee burgerking with Steve Olson style stingers. Its 9.75 up top and 9.25 at the bottom. 14 inch wheelbase. Painted it myself. Pretty sure I ride 149s, always have just ridden that truck size no matter what size my board is. F4 classics. My flip tricks arent happening on this board but its fun and comfortable and all my shove its are just fine.



Geez I can't imagine the magic carpetness of this. Sick paint job! It's actually giving me some ideas now.

I traced the shape out before i set it up in case I ever needed it for anything. Because of the hand cut nature its not perfect,  the stingers dont match up and the square tail is a little lopsided but I like it nonetheless. You can kinda see it in this photo

i really dig it man - i find the 14.4 wb on the longer side so the aces ‘bringing it in’ definitely helps. im a big fan of aces and the 44 in general, such a versatile size and the turn is great. there’s no other truck i’d rather use on this deck

Kinda cool that it’s all skater-owned parts. After 3 similar shapes in a row I wanted to try a slightly longer board/wheelbase, but then I sprained/potentially ruptured my ankle yesterday.

If you zoom in they're not smooth, but Frog tape and a piece of taut string will make it easy. Measure and mark the stripe width at one end. Tape the string on the mark, pull taut, measure at the bolts to make sure it is even, mark the other end. Then mark inwards however wide you want and duplicate on the other side. A few strips of Frog tape and some decent rattle can and you're done-zo.

Is this real chapman wood? I thought I read someone say that they actually use control mfg for their blanks. I tried contacting them about it (plus dimensions) in the past, but just got crickets ::).

Here’s sort of an odd one...
Some sort of promo deck for a Dew Tour that never happened due to COVID.
They must’ve been dumped for cheap at the first stop of the tour, because some shop in SoCal had them for $39.99 in the middle of the pandemic price bump.
Graphic is pure shit, but that won’t matter 20 minutes into the first session.
What I know about it: it’s branded as Mountain Dew x some artist dude, was pressed in the USA (according to the sticker,) & has an oddly mild concave w/ a wiiide flat area that only starts to curve upward about an inch & change from the rail. Kicks are on the mellower side, but not extremely flat. 3 different colored veneers, two outer & one in the middle. There’s a fair bit more torsional flex than I’m used to, but maybe that’s down to the flatter concave.
Measures 8.75” x 32.25” x 14.75”
Running these frankensteined Thunder Team Edition 151s again, Bones SPF 56mm worn down a bit, Bones Swiss, Shorty’s 1”, shitty free grip that the shop sent along in the box.
I hope it’s not pure garbage, as I rolled the dice when I went ahead and bought two of them based on price, dimensions & the knowledge that they were fabbed in the USA. Fingers crossed it’s at least pleasant to ride. If not, maybe I’ll fob the other one off on some lucky PAL that rides the same dims.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Was kinda over the hockey board and then took a chunk out of the nose, so I set up a Dane 1. It's my first time on a wheelbase this short and I can already tell it's gonna feel pretty crazy.


Dane 1
Jessup Ultra
ace 55
conical fulls 99a 56mm
quantum atoms
bronze

Has anyone else who's used jessup ultra had issues with the backing sheet tearing while you were trying to peel it?
