I stumbled onto this 8 3/8 shape deluxe rarely uses, this is the board im skating right now.

It's perfect for me.

Any Creager shape from 1996-1998

I usually rock flat boards, and I like a square-ish nose and tail. I don't like them pointy. And I like a big, tall nose.

Right now I'm rocking a 7 7/8" Cardiel "Rasta" board. Like the modern version of the Hippie Stick? It's concave-ier than what I've been used to, but it's fine.

flat 8.25&8.5 are the best but just got done with a krooked price point 8.1 sooo amazing

Crailtap 8's are really the perfect shape and concave, it's a shame the wood is so bad.

How is the wood bad?

hekkahyphy · « **Reply #36 on:** July 07, 2009, 07:13:06 AM »

yo man i love crailtap 8 too but the wood chips so easily, and the glue is terrible...sometimes

For awhile I rode 7.75 Mariano Girls and now I have a roberts chocolate, I try to be consistent with my boards but if I cant get it I just look for a board with not too much concave and a nose and tail that aren't to small and pointy.

6 Gun. I really miss those boards.

I think it's a 7.8 by 32... I've never gotten the same board twice, but this deck is so perfect that I might have to hunt down another one.

i wonder who's using the flat p.s. stix shape nowadays. girl made them popular, and giant dist. had the same shapes for bueno and stereo's lo-fi decks. last of these i got came by the way of sweden through a friend. a sexpak stix deck.

The Upside of Down · « **Reply #45 on:** July 08, 2009, 10:31:23 PM »

This one is the best for Big Air competitions

I just ride shop decks because, apparently, they use DLX wood. Whether or not, I don't give a shit, they're durable.

My bueno board was china wood.

I've been riding the shop's boards and they are really good. 8.5 by 32.25 or so with a longer wheelbase. Just throwing this out there, but is there any chance somebody has ridden syndrome's 8.5 board and has any feedback on it?

gaunting · « **Reply #49 on:** July 08, 2009, 11:36:11 PM »

i really like arto's shape, i havent had an alien board of his but i've had a few arto flip boards, i read in an interview that it's an updated version of a prime shape,idk i like his shape though, perfect nose and tail.

I know a lot of people hate on mini-logo's, but their K-12 #100 shape (8 x 31.875) is one of the best feeling boards I've ever ridden. I buy it whenever I can find it in shops, but they don't really sell minilogo's anywhere these days except for at mall shops like Zumiez, which sucks. One of my local shops used to carry minilogos but they just recently stopped.

bumpnrun · « **Reply #55 on:** July 09, 2009, 11:00:45 AM »

pretty much any Alien or Habitat deck 7.75".

I put this in help but then thought here would make more sense so:
Just snapped my board and need to choose a new deck. Living in the UK i have mostly ridden Blueprint, Landscape, Heroin and the odd euro boards. I just had an 8.0x32 Jart board which i didn't like much, it felt a bit soggy. Anyway, to the point, having never skated a DLX board in 7 years of skating I finally have the money to try one out.
Pretty sure I am going 8 inch but chosing between the R1 and Rebound constructions from Real. Which do you guys who have ridden them think is the better shape. Obviously i'll look at both but I am interested in any experiences.
Choices are: Real Dompierre: 8.06x32 (rebound), Real Por Vida 8.02x? (R1)?
