I am about to set a G052 up next week. Not gonna lie, I am already nervous because of the 6.8 tail. How you like that shape? I will it also ride it with Indy's
You didn't ask me, but I just came off a G052 and I really strongly disliked it, even though I actually really love some other Crail shapes. It's incredibly narrow for an 8.25", with Indy 144s protruding from the side. Maybe this problem is unique to my particular deck, but it had an unpleasant stiffness in the board that gave it both a dead feeling yet somehow still caused a lot of fatigue. The shape of the nose and tail didn't bother me one bit when skating, but I will admit it always felt "wrong" when I looked at it. I had been excited to try the geometry and I really wanted to like it, but for the first time in my life, I took the board apart after a few sessions, when the deck was still basically new, and stuffed it away because I was so deeply uncomfortable on the G052.
Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, and obviously lots of other people enjoy it, but those were my thoughts WRT to it.
