That top down view is looking great! How does the side view look: concave/kick steepness ? Could we trouble you for a photo of that?

Added a side view picture at the top of this post. I've been really enjoying crailtap wood and after skating two loveseats, I'm pleasantly surprised. I land real shitty and heavy footed often so I typically snap tails and they've both held up wonderfully.

I liked the shape so much I snagged another 8.5 mouse One-Off to put on ice. I'll be on the G096 for the foreseeable future

@boneless900  appreciate that side view!!!

Usually, I like my boards to have a noticeable concave curve/dip near the tail/nose. Often seen on BBS and some PS Stix, but Crail has had this weirdly flat shape that makes them feel flat, awkward at the kicks, and not comfortable for me. This G096 seems to be a good option

This is a long shot but does anyone have one of these and wants to part ways with it? It’s like my dream deck and I am really hoping that they will do a reissue one day!

According to tactics

Length (in):   32.0
Wheelbase (in):   14.25
Nose (in):   6.875
Tail (in):   6.68

The titanium thunders are the real game-changers though.

The Tactics measurements are off. The WB is 14.3, nose is a hair under 7, tail is 6.75, and it's kinda pointy. Measures slightly under 8.25 so I think it's a clone of the black AH eagle. Jerry was riding Eagle shapes for a while so it wouldn't surprise me if he copied one.
Sorta like a less pointy, slightly steeper Baker.

the sticker on the board says

sci-fantatsy
8.25 x14.25

This is my third sci-fi this year. they all had the same sticker. I do agree that it is a hair under 8.25. The 148s looked a little wide when I put them on. even in the picture, the axel nuts seem to poke out.

Still My favorite current shape.

I literally have one in front of me, had another that I gave a friend, and measured them with a tape that goes down to 1/32". A sticker means nothing. They had a round of decks that had a 14.5WB sticker on them, but it was the same 8.5x14.38 shape that Krooked uses a lot. The AH Blue Eagle says 8.5x14.25 and it is very well documented on this site and well known that it measures closer to 8.38 and 14.18. Lots of decks are not precisely what they measure or they differ depending on where they are measured. Sometimes the stickers are more to identify a shape than to accurately describe measurements.

It is definitely 32 long or a hair over, which makes sense. The normal BBS 8.25, which Sci-Fi used to use up until they did the drop with Jerry's first pro model and that red/black X deck was that shape. That 8.25 is like 31.9 or so and this one makes up the .1 with the slightly longer and more tapered kicks. I had one of those to compare to the Sci-Fi and it was mostly a longer tail and the tiny bit longer WB the nose was really similar.

Both shapes are great, but if someone thinks they're going from say a Magenta 8.25 BBS generic and the Sci-Fi will be the same, its a bit different.

Crosspost from the egg thread.

Won this deck in a raffle Fos put on a month or 2 ago. Gave me an excuse to get some Ace 77s and set up a Christmas complete.

Took this out for a curb session later in the day and the 10” egg is wild! I usually run the 9.4 and this is so much bigger. Also had to get adjusted to Aces as I’ve only run Indys for the last 3 decades.

This thing is a boat but it’s a blast.

I meant to comment on this in the egg thread, but I'm here now, so... I'm not sure whether to congratulate you or scorn you for setting this up and skating it! Lots of people (self included) were in on those Fos raffles to snag these as collectors/wall hangers. Good on you I guess, it was a $20 deck after all. haha

I just donated to the cause Fos was raising money for and did not expect to win. I don’t really collect boards. The ones I have on the wall are ones I’ve skated and loved (several of them Heroin boards). Only exception is a signed Clyde Singleton board that I bought off him. I’ll definitely put this one on the wall after I skate it.

Didn’t intend to offend anyone!
