So uhh now that DOA is done, what’s everyone doing for flat decks? I tried a baker mellow concave and liked it alright but, there something about the DOA…. Does anyone know of anything similar? Or maybe if politic or some other board company out of that woodshop uses that mold?

That disorder became rad sounds like the last plan b I rode, right down to the taper; was the joslin slice deck, super flat and short tailed.
Ps Stix has the best mellow molds in my opinion Toy Machine Mellow is one of the flattest molds I've ever skated, or the one WKND uses for their CT is mellow but more of a spoony shape to the contours. If you can go to a shop and look through all the companies that use the quasi mold those can be pretty flat and mellow in the tail as well, but you have to find ones from the bottom of the stack. Some IV stamped dlx boards can be pretty mellow too, actually Fletch sent me one of those skate shop day boards and it's shockingly mellow for a bbs. If it weren't a 14.4 wb I'd go out and hunt for them in shop bargain bins. Alternatively I have a few 8.25 flats left if that's what you skate.. or just wait for Politic to run some e molds and buy one of those.

Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
Man people love to shit on PS, but last time I was in a shop there were 5 total decks I was interested in from BBS. Literally all spost to be the same shape:- 2 of these decks had a noticeable twist/warp- 1 had a weird glue defect where it looked like the sides of one of the rails were not glued. Like, the plys looked bare.- 1 had the holes mis-drilled. If you put a truck over the holes, the frontmost bolt holes didn't line up with the plate holes and it would not be possible to attach a truck.The final one is the one I got, which was a Frog that had had a heat transfer put over one of their deadstock boards that didn't sell. Insanely stiff for the first week or so.
The last DGK (China) I skated was pretty flat, like a Baker Mellow flat...Quote from: LebowskisRug on January 19, 2023, 03:41:44 PMExpand QuoteMan people love to shit on PS, but last time I was in a shop there were 5 total decks I was interested in from BBS.

I'm fine with either though, as long as the shape is good. Haven’t seen any that are unusually flat, however.

Ya Quasi had about 50/50 for a single drop when they added Dane Barker, but I think even his decks now are PS. Basically the only BBS they do are the twin tails and really short shapes.
I’m curious if the newer Toy Machine decks are as flat as they used to be (last had one in 2019 and it was PS, I think). Damn they were good. To me, anyways…
