Cross post from 9"+ thread

Put my Villani on ice for the time being, as I wanted to revisit this twin tail 10" barnyard shape, that I hated and only skated once. Cut it down to 9" Egg and reshaped. 8.75" at trucks, 6.75" N/T, 14.25" wb. Walt "Clyde" Frazier for good energy "stylin' and profilin' "  I just love the Egg shapes

Thank you yeah me too I’m a big fan-boy for basically everything groening has done

[DirtCat]

Because I never learned how to read good, I fucked up and didn't get to bring my skateboard with me on the flight up to Portland.  I'm not gonna pass up the chance to skate Burnside, so I hit up Shrunken Head and got a new set up.

9" Heroin Zane Timpson
159 Indys w/ Bones Medium

Rib Bones

I've skated it for a couple days now and I'm really liking the square tail.

Bro, are u ok? Blood flow in your feet worries me.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

haha no need to be worried about. but i can't stand loose shoes at all for skating.
i have to lace them up quite tight and use all the available eyelets til the top.

I’d love a top pic on that Zane if it’s not too much trouble @Landmine  I was just scouring the internet for one yesterday morning but I came up empty handed.

It’s very subtle surprisingly i normally ride venture 5.8 his and i feel like i see more hot rod action on those than the af1s

I like the board but my toes are cramped just looking at those kicks

[close]

for real. feet are spilling out of the sides of the soles.

One of the reasons why I stopped skating Chucks, cuz I have pretty wide n fat feet and they always spill over the side exactly like the picture above. You don’t even feel it but when you look down at your feet it just makes them look so fat and misshapen.

I loved Cons One Star lows, but then I got married and fat, so now they fit too tight. Half Cabs are still treating me right.

Bang on thanks bro. Defs going the af1s then, had a crazy good session yesterday flicking my board with the aces for some reason. They are really growing on me. Takes some time to get rid of the clicking but they are nice broken in by now.

Traffic 8.25. Love the squarish shape, fairly mellow. First Traffic deck for me.
Venture 5.6 V Lights. Just got these a few weeks back. Skated Venture back in the day, when I came back to skating I tried Thunder and Tensor, these feel much more stable and like home.
Spitfire Classics 51mm. They chunked quickly but are still skateable.

You know what woodshop that Traffic came out of? Are they back to BBS after clutch during the pandemic?

Not sure. There are two indentations on top like this: < >

It could be a lightly stamped  K 7  which would be right for Clutch 8.25 size and shape.

Anyone tried those Antihero shaped decks, did you like them? I've been eyeing that 8.75" Blue Meanie and it looks very promising but the 14.75 wheelbase makes me a bit concerned. I ride Ace trucks so that should help with that lengthy wheelsbase. Currently I ride Polar 8.75 that has 14.375wb.

I'm not bothered about the colour of the graphic tbh, top ply colour is my madness I cannot go near a yellow or orange top ply.

 I've only ever skated black screen printed boards before this is the first black dipped one I've had and I don't know what crazy shit its dipped in but it just doesn't wear off.

Saw K-Rod skating an all black set up on instagram and had to bite the bullet, no complaints yet.
