Love it. Is this the shape with the shorter wheelbase? 14"?

TY, and yes it is! Pairs perfectly with the Ventures

I've been eyeing that deck too. I don't wanna annoy you bit I am curious about the exact measurements. What is the nose and tail length like? And what's the wheelbase and overall length?

[close]

Just measured it.  The specs from Tactics look accurate.  The one I have is a III on the deluxe scale so it’s very mellow side to side in terms of concave.

Thank you mate.

Real Easy Rider 8.25 x 32 x 14. Just set it up today, haven’t skated it. Stood on my buddy’s and it felt good, it’s got good reviews, so why not.

Still rocking the Thunder hollow light hi II 148s with the Bones 1/8 risers. Also added Riptide pivot cups and aftermarket Thunder bushings at 90D/medium.

Mishmash of bearings, mini logo and Swiss.

Bones X-formula V5 54mm 99A. Feel great. I know they’re not part of the DLX package I’ve got going on, but hey.

Pepper grip. Pretty expensive in my area. I’ve only tried pepper once before on a deck I really hated and gave away, so my time with it was brief. Got high expectations though.

the grip might outlast both your shoes and your deck. just speaking from experience

Oh shit haha, should be a good time. Pepper gets good reviews and is recommended by shop employees so I’m hyped to give it a longer shot. Thanks for the heads up

Pepper is the shit. Reminds me of OG Black Magic

I normally consider conflicting deck brand stickers to be a huge faux pas but I think antihero x girl is one of the few exceptions, and i needed to do something to cover up that this is a Brophy board (GANG!).

First session felt pretty great, the longer wheelbase definitely had an impact. My ollies and ledge tricks felt much more stable but my flip tricks (the few that still remain) were a huge struggle.

My usual primitive 8.38 x 14.18 (I buy the mystery boxes)
Thunder 148 team on the Real wood risers
Spitfire 58mm f4 radial full 99a

I think I can just ride this setup everywhere and be super happy with it. Might not have to buy any other sizes of parts ever again. I could do like 56mm wheel instead but these feel pretty much the same and will just last longer. Not losing sleep over that cause they will get to that size eventually.
I think also I will just get Slappy or Indy so I don’t need risers. This feels very unique and cool for now though. I like it. The trucks are a year old so they are mega turny and I am not wheel biting at all during cruising. Kinda weird pop feeling but it works.

I asked this in another thread but why not just ride a taller truck like Indy or Slappy? I like Thunders because they're lower I can't imagine purposefully using a riser with em.

i really like my radial fulls, but i’ve been wanting to do the 54s instead.

thunders with risers i was seeing with some of the extended area rippers right before folks started getting ventures. was really working for several of them.

ace, particularly the classics, with huge wheels and short wb’s, have worked several times for me

Imagine this: Weight, wheelbase, pinch, and a less squirrelly turn is completely different than Indy or Slappy.
