Lenny please! Just more 14” wheelbases please! 🥺 8.0 8.125 and 8.25 length isn’t as important but 14 inch wheelbase go. Especially on a deluxe board.

This.. I love dlx but the wheelbases normally take them out of Contention for me. Going to give the 8.06 full se a try when I find one. just hoping to be able to skate a dlx deck again

on the contrary, dlx is always on my radar because of the longer wheelbases

Aside from the suggestions I mentioned earlier, I'm currently skating a board that's 8.5 x 32, with a 14.25 wheelbase and with a tail and nose that are really close to being the same in size and steepness, with the nose just being a tad bit bigger. It's one of the best feeling boards I've had in a while. It feels really comfortable and everything just seems to work on it. If you guys made something similar that'd be cool. I know there's already a few of you in here suggesting an 8.5 that's on the shorter side, I'm right there with ya on that one, hah.

This. I love the 8.5 x 32 with 14.25 wb shape that ps stix does for Quasi / WKND, with super square "stretched" kicks, but i want it on dlx wood.

Has anybody tried the 8.12 x 31.25 shape? I want a smaller wheelbase but i don't know if it is too much.
[close]

We don't have any 8.12s with the short 31.25 WB in the line right now.

I could ask production to put it back in the line if there is a big enough demand ... How many people on here would ride it?

Please do, my favorite shape in a long time! Love how short it is with a short wheelbase

Yes please!!!

Top view but it looks a tad more egg shape in real life.

are switch and nollie tricks pretty manageable? I would love to try one but I'm finally learning some new switch and nollie tricks and don't want to disrupt that.

Will AH continue to make the BA shaped board? Its been my current board lately but noticed they haven't had a recent graphic come out in that shape.

The nose is pretty short so you might not dig it.

Lenny! I recently bought an Anti Hero Kanfoush deck, 8.28 with the 14.12 wheelbase.  I love this deck! It seems like you guys are the only ones doing these dimensions, please never stop making it! 

Thanks Bro!

Has anyone skated the Robbie Russo shape?  Looks a little egg-ish

Width - 8.75"
Length - 31.87"
Wheelbase - 14.2"

I went to get it, shop had sold out. Ended up tossing a coin between the kanfoush and the black widow. Got the black widow, and it’s chill. Should have gotten the other. Ha. Because. Shorter wb. I actually really want that couch shape from girl for this reason, but not sure how big the trucks gotta be for that one. Anyways, that board looks sick and eggs are always on my list because I love pointy.
Hope the rehab is going well

Just had my first session on the full S-E.
Wasn’t much of a difference for me considering I normally go for a 14” wheelbase. Deff a little shorter than I’m used to but I imagine after another session it will be fine.

I hope to see these a little more readily available in the future since I ended up having to find mine off a small shop on instagram.

Before people give me shit about not having my local order they just got their dlx shipment in and I didn’t want to wait until the next one.

Which Roman numeral was the mellowest and which the steepest again? Which is top and which bottom? 🤔

Are all the Anti-Hero 8.28 decks the same short length with the 14.12 wheelbase? Was looking for the 8.28 Jalopi Cardiel deck but can't find one anywhere now but wanted the same shape

Shape looks pretty normal and it's got the same dimensions as the standard DLX 8.38" 🤔

Still crossing my fingers & hoping for a return of the Anti Hero T.Mo “Shovel Nose” shape.
I loved that thing.
DLX guys, if you’re checking your SLAP accounts, please already; bring that deck back!

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

I suppose there’s no chance of getting a twin tail with a slightly shorter wheelbase huh? I feel like it’s the perfect shape, but the wheelbase is just a tad long, like if it was 14.125 or 14.25 with the same dimensions I would skate nothing else.

the 8 twin has a 14 wheel base, which i thought was too short.
