How the fuck do you skate a 7" twin tail with sub-14" wb on Indys?

Imagine the amount of people who end up being disappointed with that deck. Gonna probably sell like crazy though.

Width tho??

I’ve not veered from Crail’s loveseat in quite sometime but if this thing is 8.5”+ I may have to give it a go.

Probably explains his crazy amount of pop, the amount of leverage must be insane

I wonder if having the tiny wheelbase and long nose/tail it makes standard Indys not feel so tall cause your nose/tail hits the ground quicker? Interesting...

With heavy tall Indy’s and big wheels that’s how.

I noticed for me if the wheelbase is too short I can usually deal with it if the trucks a bit taller cuz other wise the pops too wimpy and then you throw more weight in there and I’m sure it becomes a nice medium

Exactly. And at 7" it's more into twin nose territory. Riding that all terrain is crazy.

Width a smidge over 8.25, nice! Every QS1 I've had or measured (twin 8.375) split the 8.375-8.25 and come in at 8.31 which I always liked.

Still odd that they rarely come out true to listed width.

I was just thinking those dimensions would work really well with Ventures, especially if it is a steeper board too, as I set up one of those older Real Tropical 8.25 x 32 with 14.0 wb the other day with Venture forged 5.6, IV stamp and it was pretty mellow, but I could see how it could work really well if it was a bit taller.

Curious to hear / see it once set up too.


Thanks for the pics and other info.

Just started skating my Jaeb twin, the concave is surprisingly mellow. Took some getting used to after my Magenta board. Flips are effortless though, barely any resistance.

If you watch Jaeb footy closely,  he tends to pop his tricks in the pockets closer to the bolts, which tells me he likes flatter/mellower boards. Steeper kicks tend to need pop from the tip, rather than closer to the bolts. Similar to Luan De Oliveria and his pop/finesse, he popped in a similar pocket as Jaeb

Makes sense his Quasi shape is on that mellow/flat side IRL! Thanks for testing & reporting @foodsafedye

I could be wrong but I think USA is the only country to have them in stock right now and everyone else will get their boards once they clear shipping from the distributor.

We are supposed to get them in July in AU, so that could be a common theme for the rest of the world, or at least anywhere they have to be shipped to, other than USA / America / Canada, etc.

It really does seem like this was a very quick thing to have happen, but I don't follow everything as closely as some people do.

It's not the wheelbase it's the deck and kick length that likely make it work. A 7" tail is fairly long and while the trucks are close together I have found a few twin nose setups to actually work really well with a wheelbase I would normally consider way too short. Still wouldn't ride it on the regular.

I just set up my first BBS quasi and historically skate flat/mellow boards and I found I liked popping certain tricks from way closer to the bolts than I thought I would.

Nice!

I wonder if some places got the express air delivery of the boards, just to get them out there.

Also is 100 Euros or even 110 for some boards a lot?  I see some of their other boards are only 40.

Just curious.


* Unless that was just their conversion for my location on their site.  I know some sites do that, when it shows location data and then changes the price according to where you are in the world.

Yeah, it's a lot. US boards usually get that price range (let's say Baker, Girl, etc. )
At least around my location a shop board goes for like 50 - 60€ and then goes for like 80 - 90€. Anything beyond that would be quite expensive so there you have your FA for example.

These are the measurements from Quasi:

8.25 x 32 with 13.875 wb and 7" kicks

https://quasiskateboards.com/collections/frontpage/products/jaeb-debut-8-25


From the Primitive site:

8.25” x 31.85” - 14” Wheelbase  * Which would then give approximately 6.8 kicks.

https://primitiveskate.com/products/rodriguez-twin-nose-eagle-deck-ssp24


I do see another site with the wheelbase listed as 13.8 or something so it could be kind of close.

I skated the Primitive and it’s definitely under 14.
I am sure they are similar shapes if not actually the same. Dont know about woodshops though.
Personally i love a small wheelbase but might be too
expensive since i live in Europe

Interesting to note, so I guess the new pro board could have been inspired by the Primitive one.

At least some Primitive boards - the ones we get here in AU - are on BBS, as are the Quasi boards in the coming drop / the current stock that is out in some places, so it could be very close really, Primitive with the mellow molds and as others have said, the new twin with a more mellow concave compared to other Quasi boards, which to me are very steep in the kicks.


* I think those current boards that are in shops have been express delivered, so the cost could be higher than the later deliveries via regular or surface carriers, eg express sent by air so the price of the boards is going to be a lot higher, regular in a container on a ship so the price is going to be more normal.

Quasi is now one of the higher priced products here, but not even close to the most expensive, but I don't know all the ins and outs of the different countries, costs, or delivery methods.

Yeah he also posted in a story on instagram its the shape he skated for years now, so it must be close if not the same.
Primitive might even use Quarter Dist. wood for Europe, not sure.

I think the warning sticker with the smallest print I have ever seen has the "Made in..." on it, to which people had posted in the Woodshop thread or elsewhere, Primitive boards have been made in Mexico, China and USA over the years, but maybe consolidated now to all being made there in USA for a bit.

Never heard them swapping up different woodshops for delivery of decks to different places round the world, like some brands have done, but I guess depending on whatever current stock is around, everyone is going to get the same stuff these days, most likely USA made, with BBS being older stock now, from what I have seen here.


Re same shape he has skated for years now, I guess he could always get his own specific shape, with either brand just tweaking it a little if they wanted to release it to the general public too, or even having different specs listed, but it actually being the same board anyway.

It does make sense, because some pro skaters will ride the same shape for as long as they need to, eg if everything is working, why change anything up at all.

The era of twin shapes is stepping up once again, with his twin board selling out pretty fast, by the looks of it too.

Oh yeah i remember it had a Made in Usa sticker on the board, also a sticker stating 13.85 wb, funny they would write 14 wb on their own website..
