Every so often I'll gravitate toward a bigger setup because I have nerve damage and partial numbness in my legs/feet and I'll convince myself that a bigger board gives me a larger margin of error for my feet to move around. Then after a few weeks/months I'll come to my senses and set up a DLX 8.38" on 8.75" trucks and realize how much better everything feels on it. I also find it bizarre that tail blocks feel way more natural to me on this shape than anything else I've skated (including shaped boards with a square tail).

I have some 151's I might try out on it!

is this a perfectly poured driveway quarter?
i have size 13 feet and have been skating an 8.625. If i went down to 8.38, would it be too difficult of a transition?

I like it now...

I usually skate BBS (mainly because they're so readily available), but always need to switch it up every few boards.

Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
When you guys set up a new deck, do you remove the little warning sticker on top, or do you griptape right over it? I always take it off because the thought of it being under my griptape bothers me for some reason.

In the grand scheme of things it probably makes 0 difference and is a placebo, but in my head I always felt like without the sticker the grip would adhere better. I used to quickly scrape down the top of the board with the razor to prevent Mob from peeling, but since I've been on Jessup Ultra I have not felt the need to do that.

I find the p2 and this board to be very similar. I have both in rotation but definitely prefer the b2 as late.

Saves time, grip adhesive isn't affected, and I don't see the outline of the sticker.
I'll have to give jessup ultra a try - I love the feel of mob but it's perma peeling on my current board. I did set up a 9" popsicle today with Pepper grip and it seems pretty nice, went on real easy.
