Interesting-- it seems like the Habitat basic team logo board is 14 on mine and the alien "OG logo" at least the run I had, but yeah one I thought was 14 seems to be 14.25. I may not be able to notice on the 8 inch.
I just found an older Habitat setup and measured that one too which is also 14.25. Here's a pic of the ones I measured for reference is that helps at all.
Pretty weird-- im looking online and it seems like only 14 inch wheelbase habitat decks listed are completes. In hindsight, some of what I thought were regular pod and leaf type decks must have been from a reseller that was breaking up complete decks and I got sold on. I guess 40 dollar regular team decks in person is too good to be true ha. Honestly they were nice and fun, but every deck I currently have that I actually measured seems to be 14.25-- and these I got from either Tactics or Habitat directly. Sorry to confuse everyone! This actually makes a lot of sense as I thought the more recent ones I got seemed "bigger" ha.
Also, I am originally from south jersey/philly area and now live NYC region, but was back in Philly this weekend. Can confirm rough penns landing "spots" from my childhood still work on 8 inch decks-- purposely didn't bring a bigger one even though I was staying and primarily going to be around those really rough spots near the Korean War monumet/south street. Managed to walk by muni with the fam, but all my 215 skate sessions were very quick/early morning around pennslanding. I haven't skated around society hill in probably 20 years and tried to approach the sculpture marble ledge as the 8 inch deck took me back in time. Wasn't even close to managing to pop into it with how rough the street was. Had fun on the stairs, hills, etc by penns landing near south street though!
