Anyone here that rode both P9’s and the new 1991 Jr that can compare them? I had 2 P9’s a while
back and really liked them but curious about the smaller wheelbase on the 1991 Jr.
Not sure if the 1991 jr. is labeled wrong also but the P9 actually has an 14.375” wheelbase, not 14.5” as it’s stated.
Uhmm thats weird. I never measured the P9’s tbh. Kinda weird if they have the same wheelbase cause they aren’t that much different other than the wheelbase.
Re P9 shape with wheelbase of 14.375 and not 14.5 - thanks!
I hadn't seen any of the 1991 Jr in person either, but when I looked into them, this is what a few places have:
Polar Skateboard Deck Year 2020 1991 Shape 8.75" x 31.875" Yellow 14.25" WB
Then Polar site has:

8.65" (WIDEST POINT) X 32"
NOSE: 7.0"
WHEEL BASE: 14.375"
TAIL:6.5"

8.625 (WIDEST POINT)" X 32"
NOSE: 7"
WHEEL BASE: 14.5"
TAIL: 6.5"
* P9 has wheel wells in this board, but not in others.
So the 1991 Jr when compared to the P9 is a bit wider, a bit shorter with a shorter wheelbase going by some of those dimensions, but others it seems to be about the same, so I think someone would need to have both in hand to measure and line up to really check for differences.
When putting one image over another, the 1991 Jr is a bit more squared off in all aspects than the P9 but that is not the best way to assess differences.
