WBSWB Movement (Wide Board Short Wheelbase)

[GT]

Old big boy Jr I had on ice.
Love this shape !!

Got some slizza slick stickers on it to try them out. Homie got me sorted with a sample.
[/quote] dope! How’s the wood holding up?
I actually know where I can find one and always loved that shape/ graphic

Board feels brand new . Been sitting for couple years now.

[Yakusoku2]

What a beautiful boards. I want them all but only a few of them are sold in Japan :'(

Doing the sums, I am guessing something around 7"  nose and 6.5" tail, give or take a bit here or there, as the rest leaves about 13.5" after wheelbase, trucks and total length.


Who knows though, but they are about the most common numbers.

i think when I first replied I just had it in my head it was a twin...and was hoping it was. I may have been looking at that other thread for twin shapes right before hand. You're probably right, my math had it 6.75" if it were twin, but hopefully some confirmation comes.

I didn't even think of a twin, but even just roughly doing a copy / paste of the kicks and rotating that image, the nose is longer, so most likely a "normal" popsicle shape, longer nose, shorter tail.

Got people talking any which way, which is never a bad thing for a brand.

they are calling it the jet ski shape, definitely not a twin
i hope they keep it up with the weird dimensions
strikes me as a 7.75, just an inch wider

Yeah I could see that being a Louie or even a Koston or similar type of board too - super short wheelbase / length, but fairly normal width.

Gotta say, drilling in those Ventures turns any longer wb board into a much shorter wb and quicker turn, so I can see that would be way easier to drill a set of trucks well once and not have to do twenty plus decks for the life of those trucks, if people were drilling in boards.



Saw them talking about the Tom Day twin board in the twin thread.

8.5 x 32 (or 31.8 length) with 14.0" wb and approximately 7" kicks, (maybe 6.8 from checking elsewhere).

redrilled ventures look interesting
id wait for production if ishod is doing the testing
definitely seem beneficial for short kicks, esp a twin

i saw the post for the heroin boards in another thread
will put up the specs later this week

[dunc]

I have recently set up a chocolate Raven board. Not sure of the shape but it has a sub 14 wheel base . It's fine for most things but kickflipping it is a nightmare.  Board always seems to come up short and my front foot lands on the nose. I've been kickflipping for 30 years but now I can't do them.
Might have to go back to regular wheelbase again.

@Mbrimson88 looks like fasttimes has got that Jacuzzi instock already

Hope someone here grabs one soon and leaves some feedback
Interesting dimensions for sure

That is the joy of having direct from China connection I guess, or at least not having to ship boards to USA then to down under here.

We might get some boards faster than USA in that case.

I've skated two of this n-25 shape, wheelbase is even shorter at like 13.25", probably the best feeling board I've ever skated.

Im looking for short rails for my loveseat (13.75 wb) I don’t really have tools atm to cut longer ones down unfortunately..anyone in here have any suggestions?

13.25 is crazy,  either way that setup looks really cool

I had that mike v mini circus shape when I was 9 and skated it for a year
That thing went everywhere with me..

Jacuzzi 8.75 really got me tempted just to try it out, 
except for loveseats I'm usually skating 7.875-8.125 14wb

local homie who rides this shape has no problem with classic rails (Film or Powell) and 56 mm wheels.
You had wheelbites on rails or preemptive action ?

Yes that was the "orange graphic" I told you about a while back, the Anchor shape was the name on it.

Still not seen anything else about it, so if it is out in shops that would be really good to see the board pics and top view.


* I looked up the message (from Jan) and the dimensions have a longer wheelbase than that, so maybe just double check before getting too excited about it.  I mean, I am sure it will be a good one, but I think I had it shown as 14.34 wb.

I have lil jawns on mine, the moth jawns and they work perfect for the wb and shape. But almost any rail would be good if you like them pushed in as far as I do

Seconded. The Lil Jawn Slappy Hour rails are really low profile and  only 13.5" long. Little chance of wheel bite and nice and light.

Bought this Baker 8.75 w/ 14.25wb because I liked the way the shape looked. The full measurements aren't what I was hoping for. 8.625 over front trucks.  Tapers to about 8.375 over the back.  Wished the rails didn't taper but not the end of the world.  Right at about 31.5 length.
