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 wanna crap in a box just to mail it to you so your bitch ass can smell it

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.

I think I've got the Classic 77's on my Baby Beamer with 3 washers on the inside of the wheel. The wheels are radial fulls. If you have a wider wheel the 169's would do but I'm a Ace man ace you can see





This is AWESOME!

I was thinking the other day before I knew about the baby beamer coming out, if Krooked made them more consistantly I could see myself just skating Beamers for the rest of my life

skated the coupe and cracked it after a week of skating it doing fliptricks and skating it like a regular board. Cant wait to get baby beemer boat in the streets this afternoon after work.

A deck shouldnt break after a week.
Its crazy that we just accept when boards break that easily.
That doesnt happen with any other product.

My point is if any other product we buy breaks after a week, we can get some kind of refund or a new product.
With deck we just accept it. It shouldnt be like this. Decks shouldnt break that easily.

I think the two or three times in my life that a board did break after a week I did get free replacement.

i've broken boards within 24 hours from setting up more than once and i never even tried to get a replacement, shit like that is bound to happen when you land weird.

BITD, I always use to baby new boards. Seemed like they were more vulnerable to breaking when they were brand new. They needed a bit of break in and flex... That meant no lipslides, 360 flips or big gaps for a week or so...

I haven't broken a board in years though... Board quality is better and I do way less high impact stuff. But, you still have to expect its possible and comes with the territory. Delams are another story....

Same, still do for the first few hours. And have broken a freshie right on the wheel well; ofc my fault for doing that, but those wells do not hold out or flex, that's for sure. Having said that I have skated several Beamers including the coupe, but I was not flipping the coupe at all. The tail on that thing is just a massive rectangle as well. That, coupled with wells, plus flip tricks... -"Shit. Two tons of metal, 200 miles an hour, flesh and bone and plain old Newton..."

I never experienced wheel-wells  being more prone to premature snap age but you're not the first person who has reported this.

I always broke boards in the middle of the deck or slightly back from the middle, usually on the heel side rail. Maybe a few tail breaks but that was due to very poor foot landing placement.

Those Beemers do look vulnerable for a couple of different reasons.

I don’t know if this is the correct place for this but I got a Beamer complete for sale. Indy 215s, 97 spits, Bronson bearings. I don’t know how to post pictures but I got it up on my eBay. Happy to sell it through slap if you PM me and I’ll knock a lil $ off.
Tbh I can’t get along with this board. The tail is just insane and that is coming from someone that loves weird ass board shapes… kudos to all the brothers n sisters that can skate these SOBs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186893888152?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=chlXX5kSSaW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=chlXX5kSSaW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
