Not sure where else to post this and didn't want to make a new thread. Did anybody see Jim hint at wooden risers on instagram yesterday? I think Jake Anderson mentioned them in his PALS questions.

What did Jake say about risers? Bobby D also runs wood risers with Thunders.

He talks about his setup around 20 minutes in. I hadn't heard anyone talk about them before, so it sounded interesting. Risers haven't ever been my thing so I'm curious about how board feel would vary.

Well, according to the label on the riser they are 1/8", which is 3.somtehing mm

I've run risers on Thunders before and felt I had better pop

Sorry I should have read closer... ha ha...

I wonder which ones will fit Ace the best, Universal, Venture or Thunder...? Looks like the Venture ones allow you to adjust position a bit.

The other ones shown had the longer deck bolt holes, but these are in the standard six holes for Venture (Indy, etc) and are not going to sit well on Thunder or other mid spaced brands.

Anyone see if they had both options or specifically drilled mid based versions too?

Just curious more than anything.

The Venture ones have the longer oval shaped holes.

I ordered some Thunder and 'Universal' ones yesterday hoping they will fit Ace and Indy.

Yeah I was thinking this doesn't belong here, but I didn't see any other threads, but it is good someone created a separate thread for them.

Seems like DLX are re releasing quite a few older Real boards as per their Instagram.

Could be interesting.

Mostly depends on what wheels you ride. I have 149 cast raws on mine with some 54s and its perfect, idk if id go bigger than that without risers though.

I have one setup with those 149 Thunders (all the rest are Indy 149) and it skates fine.  I think because the 8.38 shape is a bit more mellow than say the 8.25 it works really well, but with the same trucks on the 8.25 the board felt weird.

Back in the day I used to skate an 8.18 real low pro. Loved the shape. Can anyone recommend me something similar?

The overall shape and dimensions were about the same as what they are today, just the Low Pro had a rocker effect concave, so was lower in the middle of the board than at each truck point.

I had a few over the years and they were good boards, but skated the same as the regular R1 concave (pretty much all the DLX boards) but some will always be flatter and some with more concave than others, not just the I to IV (the location in the stack of four in the press).

Most 8.18 same as when I skated them are 31.84 long with 14.38 wheelbase, which was nice, but I moved up to 8.38 / 8.5 nowdays, so still have some 8.18 and 8.12 as well.

Krooked and Anti-Hero have many boards on a 8.5 x 31.85 shape with 14.25 wheelbases, not quite as long as Real Full SE though.

DLX had the more common 8.5 x 32.25 with 14.38 wheelbase for a long time and still do on some boards, especially the re released graphics in 8.5 right now, but they seem to have moved more to the shorter 8.5 x 31.8 with 14.25 wheelbase for almost all the 8.5 versions.

The SE shape is FULL SE and yes they come out on all three, Antihero, Real and Krooked depending on season and all that.

That standard size is 8.5 x 32.18 with 14.38 wheelbase, the FULL being wider right through and the FULL SE being the same in a shorter wheelbase edition.  All the info here:

https://www.realskateboards.com/construction/


There is the Ishod Marble Dove out from the current drop.

You might also like to check the 8.38 FULL SE which is oh so very close to 8.5 (of which I have quite a few) and seems to be more accessible right now, eg the Mason sunset graphic.

The new AH drop has a 8.75 with a shorter WB. Looks tasty

Pretty sure he got mixed up. The 8.28 has a 14.12 (I think?) WB which he does initially get right but I think he switched it to 13.8 cus that's what his Element board was (I think he mentions this either in his first Nine Club or his slap pals interview). Im almost positive DLX doesn't make a production model >8in with a WB that small.
