why do the krroked $40 decks with eyeballs all over print suck so much?

The shape is good but it just feels so hollow. I bought 2, the first one lost pop so quick, im sure the 2nd will as well.

[close]

they're price points, theyre made different. no idea how though

I would be interested to know.

I've also skated a skateshop blank recently and a CCS board, both were better.

artform delivery just came in. the pants were an immediate hit but my hatred for anything close to khaki never left me. overdyed the shorts metacamo™ to "blend in" better with my 97% black wardrobe

og pair:


metacamo™

I have been struggling to find a pair of shorts i like the fit of and those look super solid. I'm 6'6 so that length would probably work well for me. What were the exact measurements? I always thought the artforms were super baggy.

[close]

im 6'5 and got the large

Those look a good length. I’m 6’4” so shorts are a struggle. Tall people problems.

As said, they are the pricepoint decks, which are a cheaper version of the same shapes and concaves.

Are the ones you have all plain / natural wood stain or are they at least top stained?

I have found that the ones that have all natural ply layers often just do not hold up compared to even the ones with the one top colour, so for anyone who goes hard on their board, or breaks boards, I would stay with the pro wood and not the pricepoint decks.

And what size did you get?

Got a few shirts from Julien Strangers new skateshop in Oakland. Two short sleeve(only 1 in the picture because the other is the same graphic in a different color) and one long sleeve

I don't know what component is different on the cheap decks, but one can surmise that every stop of the process is like to be cheapened and shortened in order to get you a $40 Krooked

Skate stock. Wall ones are packed away with the ones from the first PS series. This Evan Smith shape is just a pleasure to skate. I really don't understand why every woodshop doesn't have a truly mellow mold in terms of both concave and kicks. Making the tail less steep makes a deck so much easier to get off the ground and it really doesn't take that much away in terms of pop. PS has it down to a science (no pun intended) and everyone I know that's tried this shape loves it.

[dime a dozen trend skater]

Grabbed a pair of gt blazers in black and white for $30 shipped off Depop, they aren’t brand new but they’ve never been skated can’t really beat that deal.

[moonordie]

Bought a Mason board last night, my pocket stills hurts. Prices went way up down here  :'(

[Maccat]

With PFC back, had to place an order at Library for some 53’s. Only wheel I like as much as F4s.

Can’t get wheels without some fresh bearings, copped some big balls to pair up with the wheels.

Library BTW is quick on the ship tip. Got the message it was sent a few hours after I placed it. Pumped. 5 bucks ain’t bad.

Skating an old Anti-hero I've had it in the backlog in this shape and finally enjoying it (the WB always felt too tight before); note they both actually measures 31.5 and is somewhere between 8.25 and 8.28 (typical of DLX these days)

To get myself down to a smaller WB, I took the slow approach, over the last couple of months I've gradually switched to using tight WB trucks (indy/Tensor/ML) on old decks I've had lying around, 14.25" WB, then down to 14.18", now 14.12" (there was a 14" WB I jumped straight to and didn't like it); I would switch the board up each week to downsize (for the most part they were all generally the same shape and dimensions).

My hope is to get down to a 14" WB when the TiMindys drop.

You'll also note that the Roman Numerals are gone:



Oddly, the last 3 decks I've ordered (3 different companies and woodshops) all came with an orange top ply, which I've always been fond of.

I am glad, personally, that your boards sucked. What an asshole.

I've been eyeing that shape for a few weeks now..
Was really hoping for a true 31.7 length
But I definitely trust your measurements more as DLX.
Sorry DLX, but I still love ya all. Except for measurements ^^

[mynameisnotjeff]

Mason talks about this shape in his latest Nine Club. He explained that it’s actually 8.25 and it has a shorter wheelbase than the one on the tag. The reason is so that people don’t confuse it with their regular 8.25 boards.

[Shifty Flip]

KT and Evan Smith Scumco guest boards.
Also bought 2 shape shop days.

[ballintoohard]

The Mason deck measures exactly as the label if you put the tape measure in the concave.

[Cuban_Lynx]

This Bratrud print just showed up. It looks so great in person, but not exactly sure what I’m going to do with it just yet.

[TwisT]

I got an 11 1/2 on the Lakai's. They run a lil snug around what I'm gonna call the toe bridge with no sock. The tongue and toecap meet. It May not be a problem if you have narrow feet. Hopefully they have better colorways this summer.

[augustmoon]

Plus Evan Smith guest deck
52 Spit Tablets
Quantum Atom ceramic bearings

[phlap]

Threw money at some Breeeze Ceramics. I figure for £27 they're probably worth a shot.

I got 2 of the mason deck. One of them had the roman numerals and measured 8.28 with 14.12WB, and the other had no roman numerals and measured 8.25 with 14.25WB . Weird, sold the one with no roman numeral stamp on ebay

Your boy pressing any bigger boards yet?

Not in the PS ones, biggest I've seen of those are 8.5. Pennswood runs usually have some 8.75. I have an 8.75 logo deck that I bought solely because it was black stain/gold logo. I've tried to skate it a few times but between it being a half inch wider than I'm used to and having a 14" wb it just feels totally alien to me haha.





Got my prize fighter wheels the other day and the fine gentleman that runs it must have known about my DOA worship because he tossed in an extremely cool sticker. I took that (and the colors matching) as a sign and set them up on one of my favorite setups, an 8.12 DOA "flat as fuck" toe tag with cherry red top and bottom plys. I think it might be the best looking deck I own and it's a particularly mellow one (even for an e mold/flat as fuck) so I baby it and only skate it when I feel like treating myself. Love this setup.

[cosmicgypsies]

was on Thunders for 3/4 years, Indy's for a year, went for another switch up mostly because my friends Indy's are fucking jacked whereas mine are still in relatively okay condition so I used that as an excuse to order a set of Ventures for myself and give him my Indy's.
