So in that Dan Corrigan vid where he is filming Ben at the skatepark, what deck is that Ben is riding? Did I hear right that it is still the same wheelbase (14), but the length is 32? That seems like it would be a crazy long nose and tail for low trucks.
There are some boards that might seem too long, but actually work quite well, especially on Venture trucks, or work better than it might seem on paper with those dimensions.
A couple of boards in that category recently showed they had 6.7 to 6.8 tails and 6.9 to 7 noses in similar dimensions, 14 wb on a 32 length.
DLX has been doing a few shapes like that, the Real tropical dream series, then scanner series, on the same shapes.
I full agree.
I was riding some compact boards. 8.25 14" wb like 31 long.
I did 6 of those in a row maybe more. Cuz they're local mostly. I always back the locals of all.
Looking back the nose was too short.
These Metal boards are right the fuck on tho.
I might not be able to really handle THE 9... Butt
the fuckin 8.75 I just set up is fuckin perfect. I only fliped it once so far.
I recon it's the extra long nose in conjunction with the 13.5? WB that made it so easy to bone the fuck out of that kickflip.
I don't even wanna skate it it so sick and the street salt is so bad. I set back up the 9" and I'm going to just try to get a double of the 8.75 grasshopper shape.
I put the dims up in the wbswb thread I think.
I fuckin slaps. I definitely wanna get a short stack of those in the spring.
Pretty sure Metal is my shit for a while
