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.
