I have- I actually liked the Proto on them didn’t like the 8.38 shape and gave it away.

There are 2 8.38 shapes one was used for Gilbert, which I didn’t like, but I really liked Al Davis’ shape. Now that he is cancelled not sure what else I would get from them.

I second this as well. I did notice though the blessed shape works well for me with 44s

Mostly hit or miss for the other stuff tho

I should clarify I rode the AL shape on Thunder and it was great. I tried the Rizzo shape recently and didn’t like it at all on Thunder or Indy, didn’t keep it long enough to try Ventures

I emailed Quasi about this (admittedly a few years ago now, so possible outdated info), cause I was wondering about the 8.38's. Reply directly from Chad said 8.38's were all the same shape, same wheelbase, and that any difference in concave/steepness was on account of woodshop variations. I had a Bledsoe 8.38 (Drip graphic I think) that I loved, on the steeper side. Got that Claire graphic 8.38 last winter and it was DOA flat, retired that one early.

hows the mies board? i was gonna get the 8.75 hockey but it sold out so thats my second option. is it actually a true 8.75 or is it smaller cause of the weird ps measuring and hows ps wood? havent tried one yet, all my previous decks have been bbs.

Dunno about the 8.75 but all the 8.5 and 8.25 quasi's I've had actually measured slightly bigger.

I have one comin in later today, I'll get some measurements and pics for you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Quasi makes any decks with a wheelbase over 14.25. My JJ 8.5 is 14.25 and not a hair over

My first Quasi – the Bobby Dekeyzer pro – was 8.5 x 14.25 WB. Loved it.

Then I learned some of their 8.5's have a 14.5 wheelbase. I ordered a mono and a proto deck thinking they were the same sizing, but nope, you can see the size difference. And right now, I'm on their 8.75 which has a pretty long wheelbase – 14.75 I believe.

Anyways, once I get through that, I'm gonna try to stack protos and the JH models when I can find them.

The Quasi Mono 8.5 has a 14.5 WB I believe, a friend of mine had one and it was a lot longer than the other 8.5 Quasi I had, almost felt like a twin nose, the tail was quite long.

Yup, they do two 8.5 shapes. If you're looking at an online shop and they list the length but not the wheelbase, the 32.125 is 14.25 wb, the 33 is 14.5 wb.

Back with the measurements from the Mies. Surprise! It's actually a football!

(measurements taken with tape stretch across the top)
Width at the middle: 8.75"
front truck width: 8.5"
back truck width: 8.5"
Length: 32.25"
WB: 14.5"
Nose: 7.25"
Tail: 6.625"

Glad I got the 8.5 version, that shapes cool but not what I’m after. Although, I just asked my local to hold me a Pool man board and that ones similar, but 9” with a 13.875 WB. Going to be a good cruiser.

Esmith5488 · « **Reply #77 on:** May 05, 2021, 06:04:59 PM »

Figured this is the spot, I want to get a 8.25 proto. What’s the length measured BBS style?

That Quasi shape is the worst of the bunch imo.

I had the Josh Wilson 8.25 x 32.375 x 14.375 WB, skated it with Venture 5.6 hollows and hated it. Switched them to Ace 44s and it was a total game changer. If they had an 8.25 with 14” WB, Venture 5.6 would be perfect

Howdy,

just held it in my hands today, a nice PS Stix Mexican made Pro Model “GILBERT CROCKETT - DREAM CYCLE”. 8.25, with 14.25 wb, it looked really pro to me, nice feel and by watching it from all sides, you realized the mellow-ness, the (I’d call it) almost flat blending from the truck holes to the edge of the nose and tail, where I couldn’t really recognize a difference in size though, so it’s equal to me.

Please, hit the link and check out the horizontal picture to have an idea about the shape.

https://www.routeone.co.uk/products/quasi-crockett-dream-cycle-skateboard-deck-8-25-001118871

I couldn’t take pictures of the deck, while the salesman was watching me

So instead I asked him to reserve one for me for pick up on Monday (wanted to finalize my research during the weekend first, fair enough…).

However, I’d say, take it, you might get used to it, and if not, maybe adjust your setup… and yourself, so why not!

I just picked that up during a throw of madness to downsize; nabbed some Thunder Team Hollows (Silvas Omni) to go with it.

veritas · « **Reply #87 on:** July 10, 2021, 07:39:43 PM »

the initial Dick Rizzo "Run" board was great, but I remember it feeling wider than 8.25. Still a fantastic shape

foureyedjim · « **Reply #88 on:** July 10, 2021, 10:29:58 PM »

Big nose, 33" long pro model 8.5's...my favorite.

Board arrived yesterday. Matte/rough finish on the purple top ply. Terrible sanding job on the rails (super rough all the way around, but not a big deal) and tail; sanding on the tail (top edge of the rail) looks like someone fucked up, then decided to uncuck it by balancing it out. I'm sure once griped and skated it will be fine. Definitely sub par quality out of PS Stix.

Measurements:

Listed / Actual

8.125 / 8.06 (actually 8.125 over rear trucks, 8.06ish over the front trucks)
31.75 / 31.5
14.125WB

I was hoping it was actually 31.75, 31.5 is short for me.
