Yeah, the PS Stix 8.25 14.25 shape has a pretty significant taper to it. It's especially noticeable after coming back from the BBS 8..25 14.25 one which definitely is a fuller shape. Those BBS 8.25/14.25 ones are pure gold. I snatch them up whenever I find one.

It seems the PS versions overall have more taper than the BBS versions. I have both 8.75 versions and the PS definitely tapers a bit more. Not a huge amount but it’s noticeable when they’re side by side.

Thanks for the replys.  Just wanted to make sure that was how it should be.  Not sure how I feel about it, but I guess we will see what happens.

Anyone know if that Justin Henry Money Dog deck is a twin?

Thanks in advance!

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

Does Quasi make a twin? I didn’t think so, but I could have missed it.

It’s the 8.375” with 14.25” except the length is 31.75” instead of 32.25”

The Money Dog graphic is not a twin tail. The, 8.375” “lowercase” graphic from the latest drop is a twin, though.

Been riding the money dog for a few days and the difference on the nose is so minor

Edit:
Ah i see it now

Has anyone ridden the quasi 8.625 x 33 with the 14.75 wheelbase? If so could you please let me know if the concave and kicks are mellow or steep and is the tail long or short?

Mellow all round. Tapers slightly to the nose too, so the tail is generous in width. Can’t recall the length but it definitely feels like a bigger board than their 8.75.

i haven’t, but if it’s ps stix, it’s really more like 32.5” long. or. another way: ps measures their boards including the concave and kick lengths (tape pressed to the board). so their boards can be listed at 32.25”
long, but measure 31.75” ish, tip to tip (tape not pressed).

i hope i’ve said this in an understandable way. unlikely

So with a 14.75 wheelbase it's likely to have shorter nose and tail if this is the case right?

Still eyeing the 8.75. Are there two different 8.75s floating around out there?

The 8.75 dims are the same, but there have been PS and BBS versions. The PS version tends to have a slight taper at the back trucks and the BBS version tends have slightly steeper kicks. These are my experiences.

Do you remember how much flat there was between the bolts and when the tail starts to kick up? The 8.5 almost ik currently on literally has not flat and I hate it.

It was a while ago I skated it but I remember it feeling very flat with little concave and mellow comfortable kicks.

Anyone had any experience with the 8.125 shape? I’m looking step things up size wise from an 8. I’ve never seen anyone skating that shape in the wild.

The tail looks really short, which I usually prefer. But it almost looks too short.

ps boards tend to be flatter, and mellower. it’s why i like them.

I had that deck and gave it to my girl as a cruiser setup. Tail felt insanely short to me on Indys, first Ollie I tried, my back foot left the board while popping and I almost did the splits. Overall length felt a bit shorter as the Crail G026 which is 31.6

The tail on the Quasi 8.125 is like 6.3 it's oddly short.

The board I’m skating right now has a tail measuring to about 6.4. I also like baker 8.0’s which have a short tail. So, maybe I’ll like this shape. I have V-lites I want to setup when my current trucks are done. It seems like people on here say that ventures with short tails = ghost pop from hell.

I skated a lot of those boards. I stopped buying them because of the short tail.
