Wow.  What a drop.

Also it’s great they now list wheelbase for all the boards (except the price point ones) on the site.

Would love to know/see a reissue of the JBL. These look super similar.


Yeah having the dimensions listed makes it a whole lot easier for everyone.

I wonder if they got sick of people asking them about it, or just thought it might be a good idea.


The funny thing with the popsicles is the size of the 8, 8.25, 8.38 and 8.5 all seem to be fairly normal, then the 8.75 and 9.0 seem to be a bit different to other specs of that size board - super long compared to the proportionate wheelbase.  I know a couple of people have had those boards before, but at least now they show the dimensions, it is easier to compare.


Deck Size - 8.0 x 31.85 - 14.25 WB

Deck Size - 8.25 x 31.9 - 14.25 WB

Deck Size - 8.38 x 32.1 - 14.4 WB

Deck Size - 8.5 x 32.35 - 14.5 WB

Deck Size - 8.75 x 32.5 - 14.25 WB

Deck Size - 9.0 x 32.75 - 14.5 WB



A couple of interesting ones in there too including this one:

Anyone know if this is the same shape/dims as Neil’s Alien JBL deck? Loved that thing.

The JBL deck has a more rounded tail and looks to be wider up by the front trucks with the taper starting higher up. Sort of a combo between a 90/91 style and the football shape that followed in 92/93.

Thanks.

Has anyone (else) had experience with ordering from Heated Wheel directly? I placed my order for that egg deck almost 10 days ago now and still haven’t received a shipping notification (order status remains “confirmed”)

They’re super aboveboard and my gear always ships out quick.  Probably worth following up with them.

Received my order today, and they threw in a free set of wheels to make up for the delay. The shape on this thing is wild, much pointier than the Heroin egg shapes.  Will post in the setup thread in the coming days.

Skated the 8.75 team deck for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. I don’t skate much transition, but I like wider boards with relatively shorter lengths and wheelbases. All my flip tricks worked how I hoped, and the wood feels really nice. I do wish the kicks were a bit less square, but I can’t really complain. Definitely will be buying at least one more.

Have the Bank Maulers always had wheel wells? WW make it even more appealing...

No WW on mine but perhaps previous runs have had them?

Now being distributed by Bakerboys in the USA. I assume this is a good thing profile wise. In the UK they're with Nineteen76 which is a recent Steve Douglas start-up, who also do Opera, Slappy etc.

[Paco Supreme]

Have they forgotten the password for that bakerboys Instagram, nothing on there since ‘22

Went on a little THW kick today at work after watching some Polarizer videos on YT. I messaged them and they Confirmed everything is BBS. Both of my local shops sell complete Polarizers. Tempted

[DanRar009]

Just noticed that team boards are only 45 bucks and bbs wood so it’s got me wanting to try one. Anyone in this thread skate the 8.38 ? The specs sound exactly like the size I like to ride so was looking for some feedback on it.

[BeachChicken]

It's the generic BBS 8.38x14.38 shape but usually with yellow or natural veneers. Equivalent of DLX price points.

There are two Heated Wheel boards that come with a signed Neil Blender print. It’s $80 instead of $120 because of the Cowtown sale. Very tempting.

Anyone see this kid Gerry Sherman on The Heated Wheel’s ig?   @geraldwsherman  -  his style is freaking great.  Excellent seeing a bigger guy rip transition like that.  He reminds me a bit of Robbie McKinley.  Very fun approach that makes me want to go skate.
