Picked this up from recent doa mystery deck sale (thx sales thread).Couldn’t be happier.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3qMJilJG7/?utm_medium=copy_link

DOA 8.38 x 32 (14.25 wb)
Venture 5.6 - hollow hangar w/cast baseplates
Spitfire 54mm classics F4 99 (worn to 52-53)

This is one of my all time favorite shapes; also love white bottom decks.

I have 1 board from each of the above 2 posts but they haven't come in the mail yet.

How's the concave and kicks on the DOA?

Steep and deep, consistent with the other DOA standard conclaves I’ve skated. Feels nice underfoot once I acclimated to it, but definitely not for someone who enjoys super mellow/flat decks. I’ve also mentioned before that the South Central wood is a bit thicker and stiffer than a BBS, for example. The pop is really explosive, however. Feels great.

Landed too heavy footed in the pocket and managed to crack my nose on the bottom several plies. That’s a first for me. Board was feeling soggy after that so I had to switch it up

Back to back polar post time



Dane 1
Ace AF1 66s
60mm 97a slime balls
quantums
bronze
mob

Decided to try another dane 1 on a whim after having an awful experience on my last one, and I'm happy I did. I'm having a much better time with it this time around. Also the slime balls are sick; good slide, fast, and roll over everything. I know why nick and dane ride them so much now.

Also a kid at the spot came up to me and said he liked my style :)

How crazy does Dane1 feel on Aces? I really wanna try that board but it looks so short. 1991 shape looks to taper way too much for me, dane would go well with af1 66s but I'm scared of that length / wheelbase combo.

I got the ones with the 14" WB and that shape sounds right up my alley. After your reply I got a notification the board should be arriving tomorrow, hopefully not too late so I can set it up before the evening session.

Ok, thanks. I tried the couch shape from Chocolate and that wb was crazy tight. I usually like 32-32.5 length, wb 14.25-14.375 but now ride 14.75 and it's fine with Aces.

It doesn't feel crazy to me, but I like crazy set ups and I'm used to aces so take that with a grain of salt. I did actually change out the truck wheel combo on it yesterday to switch up the pop feel, so I can say it also pairs very well with 6.1s if you think you'd prefer those.

Even if you're scared of the truck combo, I think it's a good shape to try. Nothing else really feels like the dane 1, so you might surprise yourself.

Hey thanks, good to hear a different experience. I also like crazy setups but that couch shape was too tiny in wheelbase. I'm trying to stick with Aces since I like  how they function. I'm also interested in that 1992 shape an it seems to be a little longer than Dane1.

I think it's about 14.25 but the overall length of Quasi boards always feel a little shorter to me, which is a good thing.

Quasi 8.38 and thunders feel so good. Bones bushings in thunders though? I might be late to it, but thought they never worked?

Got my 55’s in the mail as well as some 58mm’s. I put it on a spare 8.5 board I had just to see for myself what it would look like.
It’s not super hotrod but it bugs me too much. Isn’t Hockey doing a 9” now? The hunt for a nice 9 or 8.75 starts.

And it’s raining here today so I can’t see what the trucks are like. Need risers that actually fit the ace baseplates properly too

Not trying to tell you your business holmes..but 55s on a 9" Polar is heavenly. Actually they are great on a 8.75 Polar too.

55s on an 8.5 bugged me out too, I had to go 44s.
I didn’t mind them on an 8.6 funnily enough; and loved ‘em on an 8.75; both of those sizes being my last 2 decks (both The Killing Floor).
Medium concave, mellow kicks, round nose/tail.
I recommend.

I need to try this shape out. Grimple stix graphic is so sick. Wish I had got one from that series.

Also @EmericaTM egg setup looking fantastic. Gotta be such a fun ride

I loved the Quasi 8.38 with Thunder forged, low and wide all the way!

If I so Bones and Thunder I use the Bones washer bottom and stock Thunder washer on top so I don’t get savage wheelbite but can ride them a bit looser cuz of the rebound.
