Damn that sucks then.
No thought of drilling it down in the nose?
(1) I would never redrill a deck.
(2) If I did redrill 8.62 to a WB I liked, then the nose would be absurd.
(3) Finally trying the 8.62 confirms my previous idea that I just do not like "in-between truck sized" decks.
Yeah I get it on all points, but I am a tinkerer at heart, especially with things I am not going to actually skate or use as intended, so I would find a fun change up to make a cruiser or something.
Longer wheelbase boards make really good pump track setups too, so I would put some 149 or 159 trucks on maybe with some risers and big soft wheels to do laps. The mellow concave would be perfect for that for me, as per other setups I have just like that.
DLX shots fired at professor schmitt?
Honestly I don't think they operate like that, so it is more likely just a fun take on a different board shape with a graphic to go with it, as is their thing, especially given they have been messing round with different shapes like Beach Bum, Beach Bummer, Grosso style shapes, but then hit a winner with a shorter wb and shorter and wider options for fun cruisers.
Yeah they feel like a Genius with that shape.
That is my take on it anyway.
