Safe Space for 7.5 - 7.75 deck rydaz

[bryan]

Thanks mate!
Looks like a good choice.ill look for one.
I actually just got an Old  Zoo York board that sat in the closet here and it seems ok strange concave on it ! Older board so I am not sure if the new ones are the same.
I know people like to hate Zoo York now days.
I remember back in the day loving zoo boards.

Nice.

How old? Jeff Pang era (flat) or post Rob Welsh era (Steep)?

I preferred the flat ones, I still got a few boxes in storage but unsure how 20 year old wood skates.

I imagine the new Zoo boards are china or clutch.

It's a current board (chapman) it's cool but I went back to chocolate/ girl.

My all time favourite board was a 7.3 (I was sure it was 7.6) zoo York 2001-2002.
Gray one in the picture.

I never got used to the amount of flat on the kicks of this Grandma deck but the mold shape kinda reminded me of the concave on the first skinny boards I rode in the 90s. I chopped it down to this slim little egg shape. A hair under 7.75 over the axles, 14.25 WB. I thought about drilling WB in a bit but there is like 2.5 adult fingers of flat at the nose and 2 at the tail and I don’t think I could take any more. Nose is around 6.8” and tail is 6.5”.

Not sure what my plan is for this. Any tall people in here ride 7.25ish trucks on their regular setup? Closest trucks I have are some 7.25 mini logos from my kid’s skateboard and while I’m definitely gonna take a test ride on em, I got some other trucks on the list to buy before I can buy some this size. Maybe I’ll just bring in the rails to match these little trucks.

I'd definatly skate that board backwards.

Ha, yeah, I set it up today and threw it down backwards and rode it like that for a few minutes before even realizing it. Its only gripped with scraps I save for testing out stuff like this and I’m realizing I’m gonna have to grip it all the way. I wasn’t expecting to like it that much.

Such an awesome set up. And the kicks as well.

Does Flip still make their 7.5x31.5, 7.63x31.25, 7.75x31.63 boards? The 7.63x31.25 (Boulala board for years) was pretty good. I can't find much Flip stuff online (under 8") unless I'm just doing it wrong.

Flip is now made by HLC in Spain and they still have7.75x31.63 with 14 wb, not sure is it same shape like before.

Never a pic
But I’m pretty stuck on the crail 7.75, Venture 5.0 Lo’s, and worn in 52 mm formula four classics.
Feels a little boring sometimes, but everything feels really normal/correct

[FatGuy92]

Might be a long shot, but I noticed magenta makes 7.5 and 7.6 decks. Anyone know dimensions?

I like the look but the dimensions might be a bit off.(for me) Assuming tactics measurements are accurate extra small wheelbase with really small nose and tail

I’ll skate a board that is 31” in length, but less than that is tough, unless the deck is some directional, large, 80s style pool shape. I skated a Clyde 23 board that was dumb short and it was surprisingly difficult to skate. I landed my only nollie hard flips, ever, and some wild looking Muska flip attempts, but almost anything else was super unpleasant.
I say that to say this: that Uma is a mini, meaning I think it’s for small/younger persons.
I’m always looking for 7.75s (ish) and a shaped board in that width would be the shit! But that Uma is real short.

There's another Uma mini one that's an 8 but a different shape. More tombstone shape not tapered. I always see this 8 inch 5boro cruiser that's tapered so probably mostly in the 7.75 range but not shaped like the Uma mini more like a classic little surfboard shape cruiser.

I’ve got 5.0 hi’s. Tbh they skate great. They just look ridiculous, to me. With a larger wheel the proportions look even sillier. I use mine on 7.75s (or the green eagle), and the flip is perfect, even with a large conical full type wheel.
Look so dumb tho.

I've been wanting to skate that, I haven't skated a shaped board that small before. My local had the larger version of that one, but what fun is a board that won't fit 5.0 los?
