Quasi?

[hobochimp]

Anyone skate the 8.5 bbs board yet? Is it the same/really similar to the ps 8.5 square shape?

Didn’t even realize they had a bbs 8.5. I’m also curious what the shape is like

[HugeBodBoyle]

I've got one. It's got a fuller nose and tail than the PS Stix 8.5. I like it better than it's PS counterpart, but I'd love to see a BBS version of the 33" shape (14.5 wb). The kicks are a little steeper, but it's a really good feeling board.

Like fa/ hockey steep?

Green is PS and Yellow is BBS. Taken from skatewarehouse site between 2 quasi 8.5 x 32.125 with 14.25wb. The BBS one is the bunny crockett graphic according to the quasi site.

I hate PS stix so I'm very curious.

[LebowskisRug]

Anyone have experience with the 8.25 14.38 shape vs the normal 8.25 or 8.3?

Thanks! Just ordered one to compare. Looks like gx switched over too

No 8.5 at BBS tho... Hopefully they will switch this too

I bought a PS quasi in 8.5 and couldn't skate it, felt like the kick on the tail was going straight up from the hardware, impossible to get my backfoot comfy on there to make transition grinds.

What a shame cause I really wanna skate BDK boards

That sounds like another board that someone I know just could not skate for similar reasons.

When I tried the "six hole" truck option to feel out the board if the deck bolt holes were in 3/8" it made it way more skateable so we redrilled it and old mate had a great time on it until he retired it.

Not to say drilling it in 3/8" would fix everything on a board like that, but it is not the first time I have done that to make a board work for myself or others.  It doesn't weaken the board at all, but it does shorten the wheelbase, which some people might have more of an issue with than a crazy steep tail with no fingers of flat.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea actually, could have done that but coming from hockey boards, the nose seemed already smaller than the tail to me and making the tail even bigger would have made it feel even crazier I guess.
But shortening the WB would have been fine tho, I guess it was 14.38 and I prefer 14.25.
Wanted to try the PROTO with 14.25 WB but I'm afraid to just get another weird ass tail again...

the rizzo model is 8.5 BBS



https://www.paradeworld.com/products/quasi-rizzo-acid-ply-2-85-deck-337-8203213144370/

and same here!

[IpathCats]

i like quasi's weird graphics, but i do not like their shapes. At least the two that i tried were way to full/square in the kicks for my taste. I didnt like the PSstix wood either, but i know they've moved to BBS now right?

It's a shame because i really like a lot of their team, and DLX doesn't really need my sales. I'd rather support a smaller company, but i just dont enjoy their actual skateboards.

Oh sick thx !

But I live in Europe, Switzerland and none of the Quasi decks I can find here are BBS 8.5. And don't really wanna buy directly from the US tbh.
On their website there is no 8.5  from BBS in the new drop if I'm correct, so let's see maybe in the new drop

the new drop with those decks posted above are dropping friday. so chances are they might touch europe eventually. idk how frequent quasis are down there but hopefully so

Only some are BBS and in a few sizes they have a couple PS shapes. Unfortunately it's hard to know without seeing. There is an 8.38 that is listed as 32.125 I like- it's less steep and less square in the nose. But I don't care for the 8.38 that is 32.25 as it has the massive shovel nose and is steeper.

Otherwise I agree with your point. I'd like to support them but there is only 1, maybe 2 shapes I would still ride. I don't like their BBS shapes at all and tier 8.5's feel massive.

PS …if he’d just get his shit together. The shapes are so much better. The bbs is gigantic, and way too dramatic. Similar to the fa to bbs switch. Shit was unskateable for me. So steep. Noses that made me angry looking down at them. Quasi shapes made by crail/dsm/pgi would be preferred

Does palace do resin 7 and shit? How are the shapes? Crail has pretty good shapes, unfortunately they are a little steeper than they used to be. Last longer, but cooler when they were flatter.
Crail used to do pgi? I think? And they definitely had the one board being amazing/next board being totally fucked thing that PS does so well.
Quasi on pgi leeees goooo

So, just received this Rizzo deck ! Didn't set it up yet but I compared it to an Hockey board I had laying around.

The tail seems basically identical, but the nose is a tiny bit shorter, still blunt but it has a cool taper to it which make it look less like a snow shovel than the hockey one. Also the nose is less steep, which is probably good.

Will give an update after skating it. But compared to the PS one I had it looks way better qualitywise.

[LebowskisRug]

If anyone wants the new Bledsoe 8.375 for cheap I'll sell mine brand new. It's BBS but the nose is really steep- like FA steep but not squared. My toddler was having a meltdown at the shop so I didn't get to compare it to other decks I know and realize this before buying.

[PatrickSkateman]

I love the 32.125 X 8.25 shape and noticed that they usually only do 1 pro graphic and one Proto graphic per drop in that shape.

Wondering if this shape is solely PS Stix or if they started making it in BBS too.

[Ok]

Just a quick check-in: most people, somewhat understandably, hate ps stix, yeah?
I don’t, but I acknowledge the qc is inna difrent rallity.
Here is my main concern with the switch to bbs, for some of these brands: ps makes, in my opinion, the best shapes. The execution leaves something to be desired, but the shapes look, and feel, great to me. When FA went to bbs the it was… ham handed feeling on the shapes. The bbs steep concave and kicks, with the already bold shape, was just too wonky for me. I’m struggling looking for an analogy, but something was just horribly distorted in the translation. Imo.
Take it all with a huge grain of salt, I haven’t stood on any of the bbs quasi, and I’m not a big fan of the bbs bend/swoop/concave.
I feel like what most people REALLY like about bbs is that it lasts for a long time. To me this ends up being a nightmare: a long lasting, fucked board. If I could get a flat one, I’d be into it. I’m already such a kook I don’t want to rifle thru the stack anymore than I’ve already done, when I’m in a shop, looking for a flatter one. I mean…it’s been a long time since I passed the eye test of skate competency, and being this discerning, for what the results obviously will not bear out, is just to much for me to bare, in public.



I really gotta keep/quit using slap like therapy.

The new 8.5 Rizzo deck I just got yesterday is considerably flat and mellow and even has the rocker concave thing that they were talking about in Ben's ps stixx factory tour video.
