WB is 14.25 on that Quasi.  Honestly I find Quasi’s 8.0s to have the best shape. I wish they had wider boards in the same dimensions... it’s super frustrating.  I’d kill for an 8.25-8.5 with the same shape.  All their larger sizes with a 14.25 WB have shorter tails and overall lengths.

This board is the exact same shape.  I got lucky with a mellow concave but a decent height to the tail and nose.  Honestly for an 8” deck it is hard to beat for my preferences.  It feels much more comfortable and roomy than most boards this size.  My size 12 foot doesn’t feel too large like they do with a lot of boards this size.  I think I’m going to order another Quasi 8.0 but step up to 148 Team Hollow Thunders so it sits higher and my Radial Slims are flush. I’d probably step up to 53mms as well.

8.0 x 14.25 sounds like a good ratio, I rode a Habitat 8.18 x 32 x 14.25 with a mellow concave. The width felt great but too long to flip comfortably. Setup a 7.75 board last week and there is no way I can ride that size anymore; way to squirrely coupled with the 14" WB felt too short.

the 32.375 length does look a little heft though.

Looks like I'm getting myself some Quasi boards for xmas!

I think you’ll like it.  The wide kicks helps with the length a ton. I couldn’t imagine narrow ass Baker Boy kicks on a board this long but with this shape I find it perfect.  I’m 5’11/6’ish tall so I’m not super tall or short and I find it very comfortable.  Habitat has a 8.125 NASA board in a similar shape that I might try.

I'm 5 foot 6 inches so thanks for making me feel tiny, you dick. (JK of course)

I'll get one of the Quasi boards over xmas, been looking for a board with a larger nose and tail.

The older Dwindle boards from the 2000s and Mini Logos used to have tiny tails; rode extremely well for a short period until you got razor tail then they were impossible to skate afterwards.

I used to be a sucker for Darkstar boards, at 7.75 the tails were incredibly short but very snappy while they lasted. Never realized the difference in woodshops until I rode my first Zero board, back when they were still pressed in Mexico.

Found all of these in my box of skate stuff in my storage. Forgot I had these radial slims. I remember getting the F4 classics not too ago and then I just threw them in the box.

Never rode the slims yet so I’m gonna set those up.

I'd trade you a brand new in package set of radial slims 101s 53 mm if you want a slightly harder duro...

Thanks. But I like the 99 duro. I also only ride 50 or 51 mm. The slimmer the profile the better for me. I still ride low trucks so 50/51 are perfect for me.

Oh another thing someone pointed out on here was the fact that the bearings sit so much more into the classics vs the radial slims.

WB is 14.25 on that Quasi.  Honestly I find Quasi’s 8.0s to have the best shape. I wish they had wider boards in the same dimensions... it’s super frustrating.  I’d kill for an 8.25-8.5 with the same shape.  All their larger sizes with a 14.25 WB have shorter tails and overall lengths.

This board is the exact same shape.  I got lucky with a mellow concave but a decent height to the tail and nose.  Honestly for an 8” deck it is hard to beat for my preferences.  It feels much more comfortable and roomy than most boards this size.  My size 12 foot doesn’t feel too large like they do with a lot of boards this size.  I think I’m going to order another Quasi 8.0 but step up to 148 Team Hollow Thunders so it sits higher and my Radial Slims are flush. I’d probably step up to 53mms as well.

8.0 x 14.25 sounds like a good ratio, I rode a Habitat 8.18 x 32 x 14.25 with a mellow concave. The width felt great but too long to flip comfortably. Setup a 7.75 board last week and there is no way I can ride that size anymore; way to squirrely coupled with the 14" WB felt too short.

the 32.375 length does look a little heft though.

Looks like I'm getting myself some Quasi boards for xmas!

I think you’ll like it.  The wide kicks helps with the length a ton. I couldn’t imagine narrow ass Baker Boy kicks on a board this long but with this shape I find it perfect.  I’m 5’11/6’ish tall so I’m not super tall or short and I find it very comfortable.  Habitat has a 8.125 NASA board in a similar shape that I might try.

I'm 5 foot 6 inches so thanks for making me feel tiny, you dick. (JK of course)

I'll get one of the Quasi boards over xmas, been looking for a board with a larger nose and tail.

The older Dwindle boards from the 2000s and Mini Logos used to have tiny tails; rode extremely well for a short period until you got razor tail then they were impossible to skate afterwards.
[close]

Bro those Dwindles did razor tail like crazy... 9-10 year old me can relate.  Look at my fucking nose in this picture... I saw it semi-recently and it reminded me of how shitty that wood was.  I was just WAY too big of a Chris Cole/Chief fan at the time to switch woodshops though.  When I switched to being a Dr. Z fanboy and started riding Zoo York (Chapman) boards a couple of years later it was a night and day difference.  Those things kept their pop and lasted forever.

I used to be a sucker for Darkstar boards, at 7.75 the tails were incredibly short but very snappy while they lasted. Never realized the difference in woodshops until I rode my first Zero board, back when they were still pressed in Mexico.

Zered Basset was and is still a fucking G, City of Killer and Vicious Cycle is filled with so many Dr. Z banger; he always made his switch tricks look especially stylish.

Sorry to roast your setup but those wheels what the fuck?! Gross black wheels

They were a Christmas present and I was 9 years old lol.  I think my parents got me them since they matched the deck I asked for.  They’re the only colored wheels I’ve ever had and they flat spotted quick.

Hey y'all-

I'm trying to I.D. the durometer for these set of  wheels I bought used on a complete, but all the logos are essentially worn off.  I know for sure they're classic 52mm Huf x Haroshi x Spitfire wheels.  I found the image attached but noticed no durometer is stated on these wheels.  THey're probably 7-14 years old is my guess?  Anybody have an idea?

The formula used on Classics and Bigheads makes them feel stickier/softer than most 99s though.  Especially when compared to Easy Streets and F4s.  Durometer doesn’t really mean much unless you’re comparing wheels from the same line.

I liked the slide and noise they made but were too much for anything other than new parks. If you can handle them in the raggedy ass streets more power to you. I need to keep my few remaining teeth, 99 all the way.

We all went through this phase in our lives



Still going through it.

They were like $15 during that crazy zumiez sale a few months ago. If it were an option I'd pick white, but I'm not going to say no to half price 54mm F4 conical fulls. At that price they could be hot pink and have pictures of saggy old ballsacks on them for all I care, they still skate like F4s and that's all that really matters.

Just picked up a set of the 99A classics. It’s been a while since I had that shape so kinda wanted to go back

I've had the same set of 55 F4 classics for about a year. After trying a new set of 60mm classics and going back to the 55s, I've noticed they have no bark at all. They still slide wonderfully, but they're almost completely silent.

Normal or nah? I need to get a new set either way, but it occurred to me that this is for sure the longest I've ever skated a set of wheels.
