WBSWB Movement (Wide Board Short Wheelbase)

[munchbox]

are the nose and tail just huge on this? Trying to figure out their size with it being 32.5" but only a 14" wb.

the other specs:
9.0 x 32.5
7.375 nose
7.25 tail
14.0 wheelbase
8.75 over front truck
8.625 over back truck

are there any shapes out there that are like, an 8.75 (or even up to 9) popsicle (or close to it), with a short wheelbase but also shorter total length? i'm dreaming of something like 8.75 x 14 x 31.5

pennswood 8.75 has a 14 inch wb and 31.75 length
not sure anyone is making 31.5 outside of eggs
but look through the thread, you might find something

much appreciated. Those look like good curb skating dimensions!

I was thinking the same thing with those dimensions - super long board with short wheelbase so they must be some long kicks on that thing.

The Ben board I'm riding is just barely under 32.
But it's 9.125 across the fingers of flat by the nose. It's slightly under 9 across the tail.

I'm never going back to skinny boards.

Next time I'm getting hollow 6.1s tho. I don't wanna shrink my wheel size. This board is so heavy it's sometimes scary. Especially when the dragons bounce on the ground.

A 9" board with 6.1s and 58mm soft wheels has an incredibly unpredictable bounce when you don't catch it right.

I fuckin love rails. Here feast in the glory of a near perfect set up.




Boing!!!

I get Randier than That Potato Randy when I think about my next set up.

I'm going 14" shape with the 6.1s and I'm thinking about ordering wheels rn finally

Double down post because this shape is giving me flash backs. Sometimes it doesn't really hit till you grip it. This is a good shape. Reminds me of world almost.

I'm probably going with 5.6s. Radial fulls. The 6.1 is too wide for me with this one. I don't like seeing my wheels.

Wb in both setting is sub 14. This going to be crazy fuckin fun

Anyone know where I can find a 9"+ popsicle with a 14.1 or smaller wheelbase?

Eh I'm looking for shorter even though it's only a hair shorter at a 14.1WB that's as big as I like going these days. I wonder if I got one of those Scram 9.5"-10" popsicles and re-drilled the nose and tail mounting holes down to a 14"WB if it would make the nose and tail look absurdly long?

Some boards drill in really well, but others just feel weird, almost too light on the kicks being drilled in too much.

I guess it depends how much you drill it in, or even just doing one end and not both, so the tail still feels like a normal tail, then the nose could be a bit longer and not have to really worry about it, but I have seen people reshape boards down, either at the nose or even both ends.

Don't think most people really want to go to that much effort though, but boards like the Black Label 9 x 32.5 with 14.5 wb, drilled in 3/8" becomes a 14.1 or so wheelbase, so that is an option.  I think Polar is about the same too, 14.5 or so wb on those boards.

There is talk of a few more 9" boards coming out with shorter wheelbases in the future, but until that happens, or I have seen one or even seen dimensions, then I couldn't really tell you much more.

Wasn't there a Heroin 9" popsicle with a really short (for me) wheelbase around too?  Might have been a Zane RIP model or something.

Found this one anyway, so maybe it is the same shape, 9 x 32 with 14.25 wb - not quite what you want though.

It was posted here from a while back, to have a look at the shape anyway:
