Quasi?

Thanks for responding.

This is the only Proto I’ve seen that was made by BBS:
https://quasiskateboards.com/collections/frontpage/products/proto-8-8

I tried out the BBS Proto and I liked it more than the PS Protos, but not as much as the 8.5” x 33” x 14.5” Quasi shape. Q38 is my favorite shape, but I keep experimenting with my setups.

i used to skate protos all the time and basically any other deck that had the same dimensions w/ the big ass nose.

is the 14.5 wb x 33 length model similar, or is the shape completely different?

the 14.5 x 33 is my favorite shape i've ever skated, just did some research and found a top photo on ccs, and it looks to be a little more rounded- less square/ full, which is really disappointing to me

Mixed feelings about the move. In general I'd really like to see PS survive as I consider them and BBS the only acceptable Woodshops (highly subjective).

PS: I've had 2 delams, one misdrilled bolt holes where the front and back truck were misaligned, 2 boards snap on first session (one on a second time ever popping switch front pop), one that had small holes in some layers like a termite burrowed through the board, all of them felt dead 3 session if they made it to that. Why did I try em so many times? Cause I kept convincing myself each time it was a rare dud. One I got directly from quasi after a delam (turned out to be the one of the ones that snapped first session). I might just have had the worst luck but even one instance of misdrilled holes should be unacceptable for a woodshop headed by a guy who dresses like a professor.

BBS: I've had a few duds that felt creaky and ended up snapping a couple sessions in. Boards skated great til they were done. Definitely not perfect but I can tell why they are the industry standard.

I just found the new collection's BDK 8.38 board.
I wanna try to downsize from 8.5 and was pretty scared of the shape as the last BBS quasi I had in 8.5 was super heavy and square but this shape looks very nice, will report after skating it.
Here is pice for the curious

Today my ps pressed Henry broke 8th session on flatground. Starting to look forward to BBS.

Coolest art direction of a boardbrand

Quasi moving to BBS is a good thing. Their PS Stix boards were dogshit. They sent me a few and none lasted more than two sessions before snapping on some flatground.

Nice pics!

Can I copy them to the Woodshop thread?

Especially the first one, which is good to see - really like the close ups of the laser engraving info.

I’ve gotten 2 of the BDK 8.5 ps stix boards and 2 of the blacked out protos recently. 3 out of 4 felt terrible. One of the protos felt soggy and delaminated the first time I skated it for about an hour. Both of the bdk boards felt extremely soggy. Absolutely love their 8.5 square shape so I’ll try the bbs version again and I’ve also been liking wknd 8.5 shovel nose and shorter wheel base shovel nose as an alternative

[kickbacktail]

Anyone have any insight into the length dimensions of the new BBS Quasi run? The dimensions listed on their website for the various widths all match the lengths that were listed when PS Stix made their boards, but we know that PS measures along the curve whereas BBS measures tip to tip.

Has anybody seen the latest all BBS on Euro shops? I notice that availability in DE, FR etc has declined quite significantly

Thx man, that‘s fantastic

Been skating the There Chandler Burton shape with the longer wheelbase (8.5 x 32.6 x "14.69") and still have a few on deck but am looking forward to trying a BBS Q38 sooner than later. Skated 5-6 Jake Johnson boards on that shape years ago and liked the dimensions but didn't love the PS quality/feel. Always hyped on Quasi graphics

[mimhakkuh]

Just got 2 Q63‘s in the mail.
#1 latest Rowe (BBS‘s Q63) alongside
#2 Barker 3 (the PS proto 8.5 shape later to be labeled Q63)

The PS is a relatively flat one considering their „usual differences within production tolerance“.This particular BBS one is less flat (in concave and kicks) than the PS board. Can‘t tell if this is a steep one compared with other BBS pressings.

The BBS is a little longer than the PS one (which appears to be difference in tail length). Plus, BBS seems to be a hair smaller in width.

That being said there’s really not much noteable visual difference.

Anyone see a shape guide? Only within the past year or so Quasi started putting indicators on boards eg QS1, which is the only one I know because it's a twin. Checked with a shop and they haven't seen a shape guide to reference for each alphanumeric code.

[kneebone]

Earlier this year I bought one of these 303boards shop decks that seemed (to me) to be 'influenced' by Quasi art direction.

Now there's this deck in the latest Quasi drop. Can't help but wonder if it's a nod/jab. @ol dirty bama ?

Quasi did that graphic a while ago then re released it like they do with a lot of their graphics

[Thebird]

Anyone ride the 8.25 x 32.375 on BBS?  Just wondering if they are still measuring like PS or if this deck is actually longer now

This was from half a dozen posts above on the same page.

The rest of the post has other interesting info, but I just copied the single line, hopefully to show, someone else has said that BBS boards are longer than PS Stix boards.

I would imagine that this is the same across their other boards too, but that is just speculation on my part.

Yup, I did see that, just curious if anyone had any more specifics related to how the sizes changed.  If the new one is in fact 32.375" long measuring the standard way, I wonder if this is similar to the AWS 8.25 and 8.5 that are 32.25 long.  The nose and tail could be the same as that since the Quasi wb is 14.375 instead of 14.25.  I may just have to try one out.  If I do, I'll post the dimensions here.  Thanks!

[SwitchBenihana]

I have the Quasi 8.375 popsicle deck and it's very similar to the PS variant. I don't have one around to compare, but it's a hair under 32 and the Tactics measurements are accurate. I believe the shape was Q53.

[Thebird]

Here to post measurements for the BBS Q74 shape (8.25 x 32.375) since they are still posting ps measurements.  This is what I am getting:  8.25 x 31.875, 14.375 wb, 6.9375 nose, 6.625 tail.

That quasi graphic is from 2017. They just the issued it

I actually reached out to them about this, they're in the process of making a shape guide. Here's what I got:
Q41 and Q42 are both shovel nose shapes, the Q42 shape has a slightly smaller wheelbase (14" vs. 14.25)
Q74 is a more traditional popsicle shape with a longer wheelbase of 14.375"

[Llewellyn Moss]

That's a good sign! Thank for the info.

[somedudefromnj]

here's what google had to say about the one im riding now. Its the "Debaser" Deck, but also the one I am riding is an old AD acid ply (debaser as backup)

"The Quasi Q38 deck shape is a 8.5-inch wide, 33-inch long,7-ply maple deck known for its stable, slightly directional, yet functional popsicle-style shape, typically pressed at BBS. It features a large, rounded nose, a slightly tapered square-ish tail, and a 14.5-inch wheelbase"

[Chalupa]

I wish they would also describe the nose, tail, concave and kicks, but this is better than nothing:
