How’s the WB on these?
Isn’t it like 15”?

[close]

Close to 14.7 if memory serves. I was thinking of getting one once habitat stopped making the 8.25 with 14.5 WB but never pulled the trigger. Also curious to know how it skates. Seems like it would work great on Ace

I've got one of these kicking around that I'll never skate *specifically* because of that long wheelbase. It was advertised as 14.25" and then when I finally got around to measuring it, I was taken aback by how off that was, and it was too late to return it. Anyway, if you or anyone wants to buy a Lee Yankou from the "Call of the Wild" series, seriously DM me because frankly it's just sitting in a closet and I will absolutely never skate it.

I had set up a Scumco 8.5 a couple weeks ago, but the Evisen I was on was great so I got the itch to go ahead and throw on the other one I had. Scumco back on ice.

If he doesn't take it I'd like to try it. I've been curious about that shape and the Lucas Puig Palace shape that is like 14.7 with smaller kicks.

Magenta 8.25 X 31.875, 14.25wb

Pepper Grip.
Bronson G3.
Skatedeluxe Bolts.
Freedom Skateshop Sticker.

[LebowskisRug]

How did swapping out the bushings change the turn for ya? I wish Royal offered something a bit harder it seems like most people that like medium Indy's end up cranking them a bit.

It was a real pain to cut the ace top bushing to the same size man..
But it was worth it.
The og ones just melted away at 30 degree Celsius. They became way to unstable.
But I dig this new combo. Turn is still great, basically almost the same . But now I can ride them with an almost flush nut. Backtruck at little more than flush.
Before I had to crank them down way to much for my liking.
For me definitely an upgrade.

I tried a set of standard AF1 bushings in these and it works great if you want something a little firmer without having to cut the top bushing.

Did you paint the baseplates yourself? What paint did you use if so? Montana cosmos paint?

Does having your rail all the way on the edge like that work for you? I just started running single rail and I’ve been running mine much farther in
