The 2 Evesin's I've had were both just way too steep. Why didn't it work for you?

Did you censor Getz' name with that sticker? ^^
And I think the wheels are 52mm. The 53mm classics are orange.

But anyway, sick setup.

It's weird. On thunders i just couldn't get used to the wheelbase i think. Pretty sure it's a short one. Felt good the first session then took it off and put it away. Either that or the steep kicks confused me!

Got it back last night and now I'm skating indy's it felt great. Hopefully it continues

Getz is the man

Re listened to his bunt yesterday. Seems like such a nice chap

[Kevve]

The P2 was a very handsome shape and I loved the ultra square nose, but I think I'm just not a mellow concave/kicks guy. Decided to try the quasi proto shape again before I give up and just ride hockey decks forever.

My guess is the length and wheelbase, the 8.0 - 8.25 are under 31.5" with a 14" WB. But the 8.38 is quite regular looking (8.38 x 31.75 x 14.25). https://www.skatewarehouse.com/Evisen_SP21_Team_Deck/descpage-EVSP21T83DK.html

[Uncle Jeffrey]

Don't Indys generally make WB even shorter than other trucks though? Or do I have it backwards

[Ok]

You have it correct, Uncle, it’s just that wb/effective wb are but pieces to the greater puzzle.
As an example, I’ve skated well on boards that had a short wb, with ace’s, and I attribute that to maybe helping the short nose and tail lengths.
There is way too much going on with the setup math, all I know is I dunno.

[rocklobster]

Standards (cast baseplate) add around 3" to WB, Hollow (forged baseplate) add around 3.15" to WB

I'm glad other people know because honestly I've got no idea. Pop felt weird on thunders, feels great on indy's. Very stiff deck though.

I gave my thunders away but there were some decks that felt incredible on them (such as dlx) when maybe in theory they shouldn't have, as i tend to like a shorter wb.

My main reason for the switch back to indy was to be able to ride without risers and that's been a blessing. This and the killing floor deck felt amazing.

[smoothbrain]

Didn't get on with the slick bottom which is a real shame because i love that notre dame graphic, if anyone wants one in the uk let me know

New one is:
Polar 8.75
Ace AF1 55 with 3 washers
Loophole square cut 54mm
Bones Swiss
Jessup obviously

I like that polar board. I just got done riding a smaller shape of theirs. How do you like the trucks being a bit less wide than the deck?



My new setup:
New FA 8.44x31.9 Tapered shape
AF1 44
Spitfire F4 Conical Fulls probably around 52 mm now

I've not had a chance to skate it yet, but I put three washers on the hangers instead of the usual 2, used to do it with the classic 44's on an 8.5 and it worked a charm and kept the axle nuts flush with the deck and pushes the wheels out a bit wider so it doesn't feel like a magic carpet, does the same with the af1 55's on this size so I imagine it won't feel too different to when I've done it before.

polar ace loophole is such a good combo

Is the Hockey tapered 8.44 the same as the Baker shape since they're both BBS?

Nope, total different shapes.

Always liked this shape but never loved it until I put some Tablets on it.

Maccat…Tablets are rad. On my second set of 51s (when new) with another set on ice.

No doubt. Flip tricks I used to have came back, life is beautiful.

Tempted to cop a FAF. Def report back. Tons of heads on here seem to dig it.
