Well thanks for all the kind words y’all!
Just had my first sesh on it and it was an absolute blast. Landed some stuff I normally struggle with. I can safely say that this will not be my last darkroom, especially with this shape.
Whats the nose lenght on that shape aswell as the width over the trucks? Stellar looking setup man!
Yeah that is a good shape, which reminds me of some of the boards I had just as shapes were becoming more like paddlepops in maybe 1991 to 1992.
Also cool that a few places like Tactics and Old Skull list all the dimensions too, which are both the same for the nose and tail:
9.125" wide
14.375" wheelbase
6.625" tail
6.375" nose
31.5" length
Like an ever so slightly smaller version of the AH Huffer, with a slightly more squared off tail?
Is it a touch under 9 at the front and a bit less than that at the back?
**Edit**
@Mbrimson88 just got home and measured
Over the front trucks: 8.75”
Over the back trucks: 8.375”
But it did remind me quite a bit of an egg with a slightly more squared off tail, which is probably why I enjoy it so much.
That being said I don’t find it that similar to a scaled down huffer, the closest I have found to a scaled down version of that shape is the black label Reuter egg, which is just about perfect in every way.
What it does remind me of though is a scaled down version the polar 1991 with a slightly longer wheelbase. I happened to really enjoy my polar 91/92 decks, but wasn’t crazy about the shorter wheelbase. This having a slightly longer wheelbase makes it much more enjoyable for me. My only wish is that either the polars or this had at least a 14.5 wheelbase, then it would be fucking perfect.
