Shout out to Gallant and the work he's putting with Visit.  Messaged him and made sure i got some 14" WB boards with choice of screen

[close]

What size did you get? My 8.0 visit was a 14.25 wheelbase

8.0s.
You must have gotten the decks from the latest batch. RG said the only 14wb decks they had were are the 8.0s from the previous clutch order, of which he had these 4 left.  Can you tell which shop your decks are from? i dont think he wants to source from multiple places but had to due to covid

Mine was from last Summer and was from the batch he confirmed to be BBS on Instagram, at least that’s what I believed

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

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.

Those look wicked nice, I got some cargo pants from them today. I love them but I should of sized down. They seem like great quality especially for the price.
 I also ordered a 8" polar deck, pretty excited about that.

got some sets of Real 3ply risers coming in, both universal and venture. haven't skated risers since I was a little kid and I'm at a point where my balance isn't strong enough to ride my trucks as loose as I like them without board stopping wheel bite. hopefully they're good

I love them. They definitely don’t feel like you have risers on if that makes sense

hell yeah! I'm experimenting with a few fairly different set ups right now so it will be cool to see how these feel. I'm stoked for less wheel bite

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.

I would be interested to know.

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

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.

Your boy pressing any bigger boards yet?

[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.
