Quasi?

[Ok]

Anyone ever skate the 8.25 shape with the 14.38 and Ave any comments any which way?

I like PS boards. I’ve had that shape, and was into it. PS boards are smaller than BBS boards, per listed size, as the two companies measure differently. PS boards tend to taper towards the tail. I like/am used to those differences. I find stix decks to be flexy/whippy and I like that.

Anyone ever skate the 8.25 shape with the 14.38 and Ave any comments any which way?

I think the one I have had those listed dims. Despite that, the wheelbase on mine actually measures 14.25, and it measures right around 32 with the tape pulled flat. Long, steep nose and a short, mellow tail with little to no spoon. Kicks are pretty classic, a little bit blunt, not really full or pointy. Concave through the middle is pretty chill, too.

It’s one of my favorite rides for more technical skating. That’s rare for me these days, but I’ve been riding it with 5.6 V-Hollows (new stock Indy bushings in black give them a quicker, deeper turn that I like) and 54mm radial slims.

Does anyone know if the Acid Ply decks have the same shape as the Proto decks?

Tactics.com categorizes the Proto decks as "Shaped Decks", and Acid Ply as "Popsicle". Could easily just be some bad database stuff, but just want to make sure.

I want to get the 8.375 Acid Ply deck but not if its a standard popsicle shape.

[close]

I thought they were all about the same standard popsicle shape really, given PS Stix do have more of a blunt kick to them, but from looking up pics of the Proto and the Acid Ply, they appear to be the same shapes for the same size decks.

They are the same dimensions listed, but PS Stix boards are always shorter.

Does this one appeal to your taste for a shaped board?

that AD board is one of my favorites

just got the twin tail justin henry and am gladly surprised that its steeper than I was expecting

sort of unrelated but has anyone tried those neen williams twin nose boards? that sounds more my speed

Does it taper like the proto or does it stay 8.25 through the rails?

damn theres a thread for everything on slap, my mind is blown

If there were about 3,451 more threads about Rodney Mullen, then that would be an apt comparison.

I'm becoming a Quasi believer. I had Bobby's first pro model and really liked the wood, dims, kicks, and concave. The tail is mellow, which has become more comfortable for me. I've found that exerting more energy/pop on a steeper concave is labourious, and not worth the effort - I can ollie comfortably on a Quasi's mellow tail.

Just bought a proto 8.25 by 31.75 by 14.25. I usually skate boards that are a bit smaller, but the Bobby model had the same dims and I enjoyed it. Once I'm ready to skate the proto, I'll post it in the set-up thread.

I’m skating the 8.5 proto at the moment and really enjoying it.

Took me ages to try Quasi due to the amount of people saying PS Stix boards turn soggy after a couple of sessions, but I’ve yet to experience that myself.

Agree on the mellow tail too, makes popping much easier for me.

It is confusing yeah. BBS measuring is like with a flat ruler straight across over a deck. PS Stix measures with the concave and kicks, that's why it is always longer. Although it isn't really longer, it's just measured different.
