yessir unfortunately just a 10. That is so fucking cool that your in the prowl with me..thank you homey!

No worries. I’ve been looking ever since the “I’d move to Australia for them” comment. Made me laugh and know how keen you are. 

I’ll find a US10. I’m on it.  It’s good to do things for random people and not want anything in return.

Thanks man, You're a legend through and through.

What size trucks are people using on the 9" Love seat?

I like 151s on the 9.25" Couch and 55s on the 9.125  Phawt but have yet to try the 9" Loveseat...

what a perfect ass thread right now.  i recently got a pair of standard 6.1s for pretty much free.  would the loveseat phawt or couch be my best bet here? i already rock ti 5.8s on cast plates for my usual setup.  whatchyall think

I was pretty set on 6.1s with the loveseat until I put 5.8s with full conicals. It will be the best experience of your life.

*If you go with the Couch for your 6.1s (you should) please report back because I plan on trying this combo next Spring.

[Frank and Fred]

I would imagine 6.1s being perfect for the Couch.

Can anyone tell me what the width of the Love Seat is at the rear axle? I want to skate it on my AF1 55's but anything less than 8.5 is gonna feel weird back there.

Sick, thank you! How's the concave? As mellow as a regular crail deck?

Good looks @bongboarder420

[Srt32srt]

Has anyone tried out either? I'm thinking of either grabbing a Simon Bannerot or Rick Howard Couch or a Cory Kennedy Phawt with my next paycheck. What are they like? Pros and Cons of each? Worth it?

love the couch and love seat due to the shorter wb but the phawt has a longer wheelbase. have 3 chocolate/girl love seats on ice and riding the couch til 93 bennerot right now. love it! fun to slappy and still flip my board. most my slappy decks i have to redrill the trucks for a 13.9-14" wb Thanks To Chems_skate Wheelbase jig. at the trucks the couch is 8.75" and the love seat is around 8.5"

Girl 9.25" couch with thunder 151(8.75"axle) light trucks, 54mm orbs pugs 86a wheels, bones reds bearings, 1/8" heroin glow stack risers, lil jawns slim rails

chocolate 9" loveseat Sapo alverez, Tensor maglight 5.75(8.5"axle) Reg ATG trucks, 54mm orbs pugs 86a wheels, Bronson G3 bearings, lil jawns 13.5" slim 4 hole rails

I score a loveseat during the Garage 30% off sale. Excited to set it up. Never tried that short of a wheel base.

[bongboarder420]

been really liking the loveseat shape, set it up a few days ago on 6.1 ventures. tre flips and kickflips are so much easier and consistent compared to the krooked board with 14.38WB i was skating before. gonna try the couch shape after i’m done skating this one

[Frank and Fred]

Got another Couch on the way. I basically use this shape for flat ground and re-learning flip tricks. I did try to skate a 9' deep bowl with one and it was terrifying, even with Thunder 151s...

[Frank and Fred]

Currently have one of each set up and remembered this thread. The wheelbase difference looks crazy.

Couch: Classic 55s and worn down 58mm Classic (probably around 52mm now)
Phawt: Af1 60s and 55mm Tablets.

[alwaystwirling]

Ive skated a 2 couches, 3 loveseats, and ive just set up my first phawt. Gotta say personally the Phawt is taking the cake. The smaller wheelbases just felt way to squirrely.
I also have a loveseat+ on ice that I'm excited to check out. But I think the Phawt is going to be my new shape. Temped to buy a stack from Craig.ca

[Maccat]

Anyone try the couch or love seat with independent trucks?

Very nimble.

Anyone in the EU know where I could score a Loveseat Plus from a skate shop? I know there's a few on Skatedeluxe but I'd rather support a smaller shop if it's possible.

No Loveseat Plus there but I ended up ordering two G053's so I hope it redeems my business at the big corp a bit. Thank you!

I didn't read the PLUS and didn't even know about the PLUS-Shape. Good to know. Glad you found something else... I didn't pull the trigger... yet...

[Too Frank To Fred]

Worth noting, a lot of this part seems to be on a Love Seat/ Couch
