Girl 8.25 (G027 Shape, I'm in EU so I assume this is from China)
Indy 139 x Bones Med
F4 Conical Full 99a

This is the first Girl board since a Tim Gavin I sold to a friend for $20 after skating it for 2 days and hating it in probably... 1998. However the board before that was an Eric Koston which was the board I skated the best in my life... for 2 weeks before it was run over by a car in a Dairy Queen parking lot.

The shape is very odd. I've only skated flat on it so far, but I think I like it. I'm coming off 2 Hockey decks before this one and I like the shorter nose and longer tail. What I don't like is the taper, but at least I know 8.25 is the narrowest I want to go (I've been considering an 8 for a while).

Local shop has pretty slim pickins but I feel like this is a good one.

For the last day I've been contemplating the purchase of this deck, so this was good information! Thanks for that!

How does the wood feel?

I haven't skated much because it's been super hot during the day and I've been busy at night, but I like it. It's not as snappy as the snappiest PS Stix decks I've had but it also doesn't feel as heavy/dense as the BBS decks I've had recently, if that makes sense. I assume the longevity will be between the 2 also, but time will tell.

I read a post on here that people were preferring the Chinese Girl decks to the ones coming from PS recently, so that's was convinced me to give it a try. In the end it's just a bunch of wood and glue.

Hope it helps.

I don't usually like Quasi graphics but that one is straight fire

[LebowskisRug]

Thanks! I think some of their collage graphics are super hit or miss and mostly wanted the shape but in person it somehow works really well. I like the idea of a bunch of smaller graphics that will all wear uniquely if that makes sense.

This is my second pair of the 52mm snape wheel and I’m enjoying them, they slide well and I haven’t had em flat spot yet. They stay pretty white and aren’t chalky either like a bones stf.

How do they handle rough ground/slide compared to 99 or 101 spitfire f4s?

I had waywards back in the day, though I think a different formula, and they slid a lot worse, like a classic kinda.

The Dicksons are great. I do a lot of heelflips and the rubber toe and heelcap are yet to really wear down after a month of wear. Every other part just skates like a standard canvas vulc though; so a lot of shoe goo, and they're almost ready to be switched out. I have those new synth Maranas waiting in my closet.

Not the OP but this is my favorite BBS shape and it’s pretty standard across most companies that use it. It’s decently full, but not as much as a Real Full or Full SE. it’s very middle of the road if that makes sense. I swear that PP decks last me longer than the other brands that use the same mold tho I had one last 2x as long as my other recent decks and I ended up just getting bored of looking at it.

I'd say it's pretty full. I've never ridden a Passport before but it's comparable to the Real 8.25 Full board I have.

Last Resort ABs

On my third pair of Last Resorts - I think they’re great skate shoes

Ordered some regular Spitfire conicals to add to the set up but got impatient. Been skating mostly conical fulls for the last year - looking for something similar but a little lighter feeling.  Don’t see many non-full conicals out in the wild.
