Not sure if I should say “Sorry” or “You’re welcome” but hope you enjoy it! I do love the shape; the 14.5” wheelbase is so comfy. It’s stamped II and I’m finding the concave to be perfect.

Sorry jumping in on this one, but I had looked at these recently.

From a shop I know:


Cash Only - Mouse Deck - Blue

8.25" x 32"
WB: 14.25"

8.5" x 32.25"
WB: 14.5"

Manufactured by BBS/Generator


The couple of 8.25 boards I saw recently were the usual BBS wood, good "normal" popsicle shape and concave.

I keep an Eagle at my mom’s house for when I visit, but unfortunately I won’t be there until December so I cannot contribute to this page.

If you tell us the size we can visualize it.

Yeah, imagine that with very, very worn out Indy Standard 144s. Bolts are Allen key, grip is the black kind. Bearings are probably a hodge-podge.

Thanks! Interesting little brand.

Set this up on a whim today cause my regular workshop 8.75 starting feeling a bit cumbersome on flat. Got the itch to size down after skating an old Sandoval krooked deck in my stack on 149 thunders that I thought was 8.5 but really a 8.38. Swapped out the forged plates for some cast. Hope venture start making the 6.1 team hollows.

It was real flat and mellow. Made by BBS so probably not that hard to find something similar. Personally it was too flat for me once it started getting flexy

How are you liking the 1991 jr?  I am tempted to pull the trigger on this one.

Liking it so far, the tapered kicks makes the board feel smaller than 8.75". My 8.5" Black Label boards felt bigger with its fuller kicks.

I wish the tail was just a bit longer, but that's a personal thing. It's a good shape nonetheless.

this setup looks so good! you think 151s would work also or are 149s the way to go? definitely don't want a hot rod

I like 149s for this but I’ve been into slight magic carpet setups lately. You’d be hot rodding the back truck slightly on 151s probably. I think it tapers to around 8.38 in the back and 8.6 in the front based on some quick measuring
