Quasi?

[Esmith5488]

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

Kick info would be nice but this actually helps a bunch, been looking for a board with a little more tail length and the 8.25 seems like it might work for me. I think the only quasi I had was PS pressed and probably almost a decade ago

Edit to add it’s the Q42 shape

[Chalupa]

The QS2 is an 8.25” twin nose, but the specs aren’t available yet.

that’s a forged baseplate right?

[SwitchBenihana]

No they're cast. The screen grab resolution is pretty shitty but you can see there's some faint lines on the IG post and that the plate is thicker. They seem to answer comments so maybe you should ask.

What is the purpose of a hard bottom and soft top? Makes me think maybe I need to be cranking my shit more.

Jaeb feels like a thunder guy to me. Don’t @ me lol.

Can’t wait to see the specs on that QS2 tho

[Llewellyn Moss]

Been on two QS1 twins each one listed 8.38 and every one I've skated or measured in person splits the difference between 8.38 and 8.25 for width, which I actually liked. It's subtle but definitely doesn't feel 8.25 or 8.38, so 8.31-ish.

Maybe the QS2 also won't measure true to the 8.25 list and hover closer to 8.18/8.19 to split the 8.25/8.125 gap.

Jaeb WAS on Thunder up until late last year when he started riding Indys. Nov/Dec: I saw him skate a park around LA with the Dickies squad - Indys on his board. Seems like he was casually added in the last few months instead of a proper welcome.

I reckon Indys paired better with Quasi's dims/shapes for him and he ended up liking them more than Thunders
I mostly see Indy/Venture/Ace on Quasi decks in person, do y'all see people rocking Thunders often with them?

True, but I was talking beyond the team since I know they have a mix of truck riders

following- this will be the mod that finally makes me good at skateboarding, im sure.

[SwitchBenihana]

3mm risers and 148 with 3-4 washers inside. I read on here he also used to run 2 tops but then saw a pic where it seemed he had a cylinder bottom?

[Esmith5488]

Anyone that’s had the Q42, can you tell me a little about it. Thinking about grabbing at the local on my trip I’m going on but curious before I get there. How’s the steepness on the kicks? Anything of note with anything else? Going to pair with T1 thunders and want it for the 14 inch wheelbase

Skating one right now. Its pretty steep- I usually ride mellow/flat boards, but I don't mind this shape. The long tail on it feels great too.  I'm running it with 144 forged hollow Indy's.

[Mooseknuckle666]

Indy Hollow inverted kingpins?

not inverted

pretty much all of this except i ran it on ventures and liked it at first but after a stint on some mellower boards it felt too steep for me. thunders might work well for it actually.

I think the hard bottoms and soft tops are to make em more like thunder with the quick turn initiation but like hard stop so he doesn’t wheelbite. Makes more thundery. And probably the heft and the height for his big wheels and heft for that tiny ass wheelbase. 

[SwitchBenihana]

He rides super tight trucks there was a pic of his Indy's with normal bushings and like 5 threads showing.

I tried a Q53 and it was horrible. Comically small nose and not the fuller Quasi shapes I've liked before that were that shovel, but were unique. I had an 8.5 Proto recently that had a big steep nose and an oddly flat tail but it actually skated awesome it was just really weird to look at.

I hadn't seen the size / shape stickers on Quasi boards until now, but at least they look really big and easy to see from online pics too, maybe more so than almost any other brand size or shape sticker.

Example:

[bluntfullofmid]

whoever gets the twin nose first can you post pics and true dims in here?

[Fast_Freddie]

I snapped and bought one from the homies shop Prolific in NJ, since the local does not carry quasi... will post when I get it if someone else hasn't already... IMAGINE TWINNING

[sadnocomply]

Quasi videos are one of the few still around that make me feel the youth and homie aspect. Every time they upload, I have to go skate! Imagine sitting around doing nothing.

He's got wheelbite marks there, 55mm high truck with 55mm wheels
But that doesn't really mean anything

I wonder if they're actually bones bushings on top, and since they're white, Indy is claiming them, to sell more bushings. But the white Indy bushings are 78a lol

BUT, this might make more sense: The reason he's on the inverted kingpin baseplates is so he can crank the shit out of them without them looking like shit, and the 96a bottom bushing holds the geometry/doesn't conpress down too much, and it actually -is- a 78a on top, to get some turn there like you were saying. Makes sense coming from thunders. I think you might be right on the money.

It's a really specific, interesting combo that is facilitated by the inverted kingpin

Surely with the older style Indy top washers, his bushings would look like Leo Romero's in no time. Shredded. The stock washers with indys lately have been the same as the aftermarket ones and don't kill your bushings if you crank em. Those old ones were deep and razor sharp.

Making an Indy feel like a thunder is marketing in itself lol. How many people don’t make the change cuz Indy’s not twitchy and stable enough for em lol

[foodsafedye]

The Quasi Jaeb Debut boards come with a cool poster that has all the Quasi shape specs on them

[Fast_Freddie]

Twin Nose *arrived* Warning sticker is on outer plastic, I like not having to razor it off before grip.

Width a smidge over 8.25”

Length is a tad under 32"

Nose/Tail are dead on 7"


Wheelbase is dead on as well

[Llewellyn Moss]

Width tho??
