Man, I wanted one for a while, then finally ordered one online and it was the mini version, it’s so short I took the trucks off and now it’s just another board in my closet. Kinda bummed

the coupe is kinda disappointing.

pretty hard to mistake one for the other even in shop pics though.

Looks like another full size Beemer on the way in Fall.


hopefully they make as many as they did coupes? or you think the coupe just didn't sell well and that's why it looks like they made a lot?

Ehh not really, but the shop I ordered from didn’t have any sizing listed on their site, either way I’m bummed

The Coupe has no nose. It’s easy to tell them apart.

I got lucky and was able to get one. I did some frontside ollies on a ramp with it and they felt really cool. Some parks and spots I go to get a little boring, so I like to have a shaped board in the car to spice things up. I'm gonna need to switch to Thunder 181's asap though. I was fooled by the marketing; no matter what the stage, Indys just don't work right for me

buddy has this board with 181 thunders and I was able to pop a switch heel on it the other day. Felt fucking wild. Really fun board , pop shoves, manuals , fs airs all feel so cool .

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Beemer for a couple years now but best I could do was the Ladybug and I can’t see myself setting it up. And the coupe definitely looks too small.

I have the coupe. It’s kinda fun, but definitely not my favorite. Hope to get a full size one eventually

I picked up a coupe in the skate shop. Looked crazy short. I might try for the next drop. Thunder 181s for me. Those things are pretty damn light for their size.

Beamer coupe is even shorter than the zogger  :o

Kinda feels like a rip off considering how similar they are and the Beamer is twice the price

Having both a Coupe and a Zog on ice right now, they’re not very similar in shape, and the expense in the Beamers come from the unique mold and the extra cutting/routing/finishing.
