Not keen on the graphic but these dims are kinda hard to find in the UK

Lovenskate 8.5 x 32 x 14wb
Ace af1 44
Spitfire F4 99d 52mm classic
Mini logo/jessup



Skated it for a few hours, love it.

if anyone is looking to retain a "normal" size but still have the shorter wheelbase this pennswood press is where its at. put a good few hours into it, fliptrick game seems to be a lot more consistent, feels very snappy. i know @Buttfart Rapedick was concerned about the qual of pennswood after covid etc, absolutely no issue on my end. can see myself riding solely these from here on out, definitely the "goldilocks" shape/sizing atleast for myself.

Oh thanks... Didn't remember this thread.
Definitely a fan of the short WB on this deck, pairs nicely with the Ventures!

I just got one of these Roger Curb Crushers in the mail and noticed the dimensions posted online don’t totally capture all its details

8.5” over back truck
8.875” over front truck
So there’s a good bit of taper

31.75” long

Also, wheelbase listed on the sticker says adjustable to either 13.95” or 14.25” (which is ever so slightly different from some posts online that say it’s a 14”wb on the shorter setting)

Hope to set it up soon, but I gotta make a call regarding trucks. I have some Indy 149s (8.5”) and some Ace classic 55s (9”)… but the OCD side of me wants to buy 8.75” Indy 159s  :'(

still don't quite grasp the "true fit" phrasing but i'm glad there's more options coming out than just the mis-reg eagles. not a complaint, just nice to have options just in case

I think the 8.5 / 8.75 Misregistered Eagle are selling like hotcakes, couldn't find one during black Friday. So they took it as a sign that short WBs are in. But sub 14" WB? I'm not sure I can handle that much crazy in my life.

I think I’m going to see if my local shop can get me one of those 8.5. Sounds fun.

I was looking at Dane 1's on Polar's website and the wb is listed at 14.125. Has that always been the case, or did these get shorter?

I had a super steep Deathwish with a 14.25 WB and very little fingers of flat. It was completely unmanageable on cast Ventures for me. I modded it down to a 13.875 at the tail and it actually became skateable. Indys worked even better.

I'm a stumpy 5'7, so these short wheelbases are making me drool.

Seems like 13.88" wb would be a perfect choice for those who like forged Ventures, but I agree that sub 14" wb seems insane lol i'm totally happy with 14" and cast Ventures

Just thought I'd point out that the There Cher Strauberry board is actually quite small feeling. I have one and it narrows down to 7.6ish inches at the narrowest point by the rear trucks. It's a sick ride, but despite being listed at 8.67, it doesn't feel wide at all and quite the contrary when you're coming down over the rear bolts.

Yeah Dream Girl shape is the best shape. The Welcome Corey Duffel Blixa is the same shape and he's also put one out under Adored. I'd be psyched to hear they are back in production from JK but the reissue I got from them had to be about 5 years ago. The Dan Drehobl Krooked shape is about the same but with a bigger, more blunt shaped nose.

Final note; JK's measurements for that board have been kinda all over the place and I think it is closer to 9 than 9.5" wide.

Here's a pic of the Adored version that I set up earlier this year:

this seems to be the last one of these boards
i hope this dimension is possible to find again. it looks absolutely perfect. i would say the nose is slightly more full too and the tail is a more rounded / aggressive cut.
6.5" tail, 7" nose, 14" wb. it will be on Indy's.

if i get thunders, which i very likely will at some point, i will probably go to the 13.75" wb Real board they are coming out with. i hope other people enjoy these boards too and they keep making them.

good news is the dimensions look very close to the misregistered eagles out right now. biggest difference i'm seeing is it's listed as 31.75 vs 31.8. tail/nose measurements are almost the same as well

Yes the Misregistered Eagle in 8.5 is that same shape. If you're wondering about it in the future, look to see if there's an 8.75 with the same graphic. That's the 8.75 with the 14.25 wb and it's shared the same graphic with the short 8.5 in the last few drops. They were introduced around the same time and I think are currently kind of a package deal.

i skated that exact anti-hero 8.5 while i was recovering from an ankle injury since i figured i'd be flipping the board less (i usually skate 8.25) - it was my favorite deck i've skated in 2022 - i picked up 2 of the 8.25 misregistered eagles and i'm excited to try them - i also hope they keep making these

i think their quality control has actually gotten a lot better and they know how to do magic with that cheap wood. you cant beat the price either.
