Is there a way to find what brands use a specific BBS shape? I’m currently riding a BBS 8.75 with dimensions as seen in my photo below, but the brand no longer uses this shape for their 8.75’s. Hoping to find the same shape on another brand.
Edit: there is an approx quarter inch taper as well, from 8.75 over front truck to 8.5 over back.
I had a lot of Element boards with those exact markings, obviously different sizes, shapes, etc coming through, but as most of the Element boards are now made in China, it seems really hard to get hold of any more.
The main thing I did notice is although they had very specific sizes and dimensions on them, most were actually very much generic BBS / Generator shapes for the main boards.
Finding a shorter wheelbase on any longer board can be a really difficult thing, although some brands do go more for shorter wheelbases, BBS wood including Polar and Black Label just off the top of my head, so those two are worth looking up.
Another one is the Antihero Cardiel 8.62 board, not the usual longer DLX board, but the Hella Concave listed board which is 14.5 wb with 32.2 or so length.
Note the length on the Element boards was more often than not along the concave, so although some of my boards said 32.7 length, they were only 32.3 with the other dimensions being about right, for nose, tail, wheelbase and width.
Can you use a tape measure, straight across, and see what everything actually measured, because the overall length is too long for the other measurements, which adds up to just over 32.6 given the trucks are 4.25" with everything else as listed there.
