anyone skated the 8.5mp from Weekend? I remember the dimensions being a 31.5 length but its saying 31.8. I currently skate the 8.25 which measures in at 31.25 but their shape guide says 31.6
also anyone notice shecklers new company (sandlot times) has an 8.5 14.25 wb and 31.1 length. his graphics are horrible but the shapes sound interesting. will not send 80 on his brand tho
It has been said that PS Stix decks are usually measured with the concave, so when measured in the normal way straight across, they will always come up shorter. That makes sense with what you saw listed and what you measured.
Re Sandlot Times - Curious about who makes his boards, said to be made in USA, but that has been said before for other brands that clearly get their wood from outside of the US, but either way, I am wondering what length of nose and tail that adds up to, as it just seems too short, going by normal dimensions.
That is not to say that it doesn't work really well for some people, but a board I have (unskated for the shop) was an 8 x 31.4 with a 14 wb and reasonable kicks, maybe 6.8 nose and 6.4 tail if I recall correctly.
Any shorter than that in overall length with a longer wheelbase makes me wonder.
* For reference, truck area is 4.25 so all those for that board add up to pretty much that, but some other boards just don't seem to add up on paper.
