Do you have nose and tail measurements for this? I saw a Sk8Mafia 8.25 and it had a 6.3 tail, 6.625 nose and was 31.3 or so long such a wack shape and I hope the Sour aren't so fried.

It should be
nose: 6.875"
tail: 6.5"
I'll measure to be sure.

@BeachChicken those are the dims. Confirmed.

noticed tactics has this listed as 6.5" tail / 6.75" nose, but to me it seemed close to 6.75" and 7" (which i prefer). anyone else notice this?

spitfire f4 97a 60mm T FUNK Savie wheels

Both of mine are closer to Tactics measurements.

No risers with 60mm wheels? Brave man!

I wish it was 6.75 tail and 7 nose, but I can understand how that other guy on youtube drilled it in and it skated better for him, although I am still on the fence about setting one up, but I should have the Grimple version soon enough so can compare and really make a call about it then.

For once I actually think that trucks sitting inside the edge of the board look proportional in this case, but I am usually funny like that - gotta have the truck or at least the wheel right on the edge of the board, hence these 215s sitting here ready to be put on the one I have, but I look at that and think now maybe some of these Ace trucks I have will work better all round.

Double drilling the Indy baseplate could be a go as well, at least for the tail, but I will have to leave it all for now and just have a look at it when I am feeling a little more keen to try it.

feels really good to me the way i have it set up anyway 
mine was a 3 in the press
just gotta land bolts! will really be able to pinch these wheels on a crook!

Thanks @rawbertson im a fucking idiot.

[back smith]

Sick logo on that Bronze sticker! But the board doesn't have Bronze hardware?

[BeachChicken]

Good point, it would, but it got shiny and I'm waiting for order with more and will swap. To me Bronze is a video company that sells hardware and clothes to fund dope videos and skaters so I will always back it regardless of what's on my setup. Before the star bolt I always had the Bronze indicator.

That's a sick graphic. Btw, may I ask if you use stock insoles on the 600?

[BeachChicken]

I do not I use the Superfeet Active Run in all of my skate shoes except 1010, which I haven't skated in a year. Stock NB insoles are just not supportive enough for my shitty ankles.

[Dmng]

Sick setup !
Curious if you have a link for those super feet. I have the superfeet flex which I really like in terms of support but it may lack slightly of cushioning on the front part

 2 different laces because I probably dropped the other white one in the parking lot when I was mismanaging a lace swap

Rassvet 8.375
Bones Swiss
Royal ultralight with ace hard bushings
Spitfire 99 radial
Mop grip (sadly it broke not so clean on the edges of the nose / tail during the session, not so nice looking maybe I didn’t press it hard enough and file ?)

So happy about this setup, the nose and tail are really full and I didn’t need much time to get used to it.
Just upset about this grip tape edges breaking easily during the session, hope I do better next time if anyone has recommendations

They say 14.34". Interesting length, don't recall another one. 14.38" or about 14 2/5" is somewhat common and close.

If it’s not to much to ask, do have your a top shot and dims on that? Shape looks rad.

Trying to make both setups a little more similar. I just want bigger softer wheels in the 7-12’ bowl at the old local with some extra space for my front foot. Coming off a 8.25 true fit with standard Indy 144 and a label 9.5 tugboat with af1 66s. Jumping from 13.875 to 14.5 wb in the same session was weird.

Barbee shape is sick, it’s pretty much an 8.5 with some generous room for your front foot.  Shape reminds me of an old Bod Boyle Santa Cruz speed racer graphic I had as a kid, loved that deck. Both have a purple top ply.

Been on standard Indy’s since 96, mostly because I love the grind on crusty ledges. I just go to parks now, don’t need the weight to grind metal. Thunder turn and balance point are an adjustment but holy shit I love the light pop. Had a 4hr session on Friday and was still skating a normal height bench no problem at the end.

Glitter graphic might as well be a damn slick. Half an hour of tail slides on metal capped cement and there is no wood showing.

8.25 deathwish 14.25 wb, steep w/black magic grip. Went to the record store and left with this board as well, reminds me of old stereo graphics.
Venture 5.8 stock bushings.
Spitfire 57mm lock in fulls w/race reds bearings. Underrated bearings. These are the ones with the built in bearing spacers which act like washers as well. Recently lubed and are pretty fucking smooth.

Is that the PS shape? Curious how you like it with V8 I had it on normal cast and tre flips were comically easy, but I hated the tiny nose on it. So glad they are BBS now.
