Wow. I’ve surprised myself & came back to a thread i posted on!

I’m pretty darn excited to get this deck. I’ll report back when in shows up.

To me this post makes me think those boards are super mellow and flat in the kicks too, which people on here have said is not the case.

Wondering if it is just luck of the draw, I stamp vs IV stamp or whatever, but either way, it is just another post to add to this thread for comment, or general interest.

The third frame, 21.4 degrees on both kicks is a very interesting one, given most other boards are usually around 22 to 23 when I measure them, eg 23 nose with 22 tail.  Some of the more mellow feeling ones are around 21 nose and 20 tail, but there don't seem to be too many of them, in all the boards I have had.

* Any which way, I am still keen to see and try one, so it really doesn't matter to me.  Just had to add that.


I see all the info is up on the DLX home page now too.

Krooked painted eyes graphic in both 8.25 and 8.38 as well, along with the glitter eagles in 8.38 and 8.5 and the Real boards as per other info 8.25 and 8.5 sizes.

[sk8rgrl420]

Just went to the shop and didn't realize that the Krooked easy rider 8.25 had a 14.38 wheelbase while the Real easy rider 8.25 has a smaller 14 inch wheelbase. Why did they decide that different easy riders would have different wheelbases even if they have the same width?

The Krooked deck should be the standard DLX 8.25" with the 14.38" wheelbase and the Real board is a new 8.25" shape designed by Ben Degros.  Ben's is maybe a hair longer, but has a significantly shorter wheelbase.

I understand that now, but my assumption was that the “easy rider” name was the name of the shape that Ben had designed as opposed to just being a reference to the concave. If I get a “true fit” 8.25 deck in real and Krooked, the wheelbase and width will be the same across brands.

Even their website for the easy rider shape literally links to Ben’s video which confuses me even more

Ordered the blue easy rider eagle, psyched to try it out. It says the nose and tail are symmetrical, is it a twin? Or just the pop angle is symmetrical...

[DakotaRed]

Has anyone skated the dlx 8.75 full se? The 32.86 length has me on the fence.

It's just the pop angle.

There is no SE to the 8.75 FULL board, just big, wide and very long, 14.7 wb on that one as per the info here in the old page that is still up:


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


Re skated it, yes I have one and although I don't usually skate really big boards like that, it is fun to haul around on, mainly big bowl, park or big ramps, although anyone with enough muscle mass should be able to do almost anything on it, compared to a smaller and easier board.


If you were not wanting something quite so big, the usual 8.75 DLX board is a lot of fun and quite a few people have that as their usual board, or at least one in their quiver.

Then there are two other shorter 8.75 boards out, both the 8.75 Tru Fit and the AH 8.75 short currently the Mis-registered eagle series, relevant dimensions on their respective pages, so worth a look at both as they are slightly different:

https://www.realskateboards.com/spring-2024/

https://www.antiheroskateboards.com/spring-2024


As for the actual shape of that Real 8.75 FULL board, the construction page is pretty good to see, but other pics are out there on some shop sites too, which I had linked previously back in this thread somewhere.

Thanks for the info/reply! My mistake on the SE part.

I rode two of these (one BA and one Grosso) and they feel big, for sure. I usually like a 32+ length because of my height, but the long wheelbase, long length, and full/square shape made this a hefty board. As noted by someone else, the standard 8.75 dlx shape (krooked eyes deck, for one) is much more enjoyable.

[CarcassToss]

The 8.75 is what I use for transition and curbs. IDs not as big as you'd think it would be. I want to try the There Chandler shape soon as well. It actually scoops surprisingly well on the occasion that I also wanna do a bit of flat ground while I'm out.

[DakotaRed]

Thanks for the replies! I thought the full would be fun on parking blocks at a school by my house, but I may try the 8.75/31.75. I'm also sort of looking for zig zagger specs in a popsicle shape. The Cardiel desertscape 8.62 is pretty close, plus the graphic is sick. Zagger: 8.62/32.18/14.68 Cardiel: 8.62/32.25/14.5...

I’m currently skating an AH Grant Taylor 8.75 14.62WB (same as the white Classic Eagle). Although I like the full and long nose and tail, I’m considering sizing down a bit to make my board a bit more manageable for flip tricks. I see most AH 8.5 decks have a 14.25WB which I would probably find too cramped, so I’m looking at an 8.38 with 14.5WB that our local shop has in stock (the Daan van der Linde pigeon vision, same shape as the green classic eagle). It does have a bit shorter and pointier nose and tail though.

Has anyone skated both and noticed any noteworthy differences? I’m currently skating the 8.75 with Indy Titanium 159s, which I’m planning on using on the 8.38 as well.

@Sedition can give you a thoughtful reply, i believe they sometimes mess around with the 8.75.
iirc the 8.62 and 8.38 have similar shapes, comparatively pointy in the nose and tail, compared to some of the other sizes.

the 8.38 has been around for quite a bit, for a reason.
i have one in my stack, its much larger than what i normally ride (i thought i was riding a generic generator version of this shape, but i am wrong, per usual).
the 8.38 does work with the 159s.

a larger board, for me, that still flips, is the crail
brophy shape. 8.6, i think 14.75 wb….something about that one still worked for me, and i’m a small person, with baby strength.

[seabassbooster]

ive been riding the misregistered antihero 8.25 14wb with 148 thunders 1/8 risers and it’s easily the best setup i’ve had i’ve never felt so good on my board until now. i was riding a trufit deck 13.88wb before this.

I read that more people really enjoying the 8.38 + Indy 159 Peter Hewitt combi indeed, that also makes me want to try it
Even though the axle is 8.75 wide, measuring the edges of the wheels gives me just under 8.5, and that’s with both speed rings on the inside. I think the wheel to wheel width is going to be close to 8.38 with only one speedring on the inside.

Baby Beamer coming out in fall looks way more fun than the OG. More of an egg shape, tapered, still long wheel base



edit* was this the tyshawn beamer shape?

that looks really fun tbh.
what’s the dimensions?
thunders….

Fall catalog says 10.12 x 34 x 16.12

So Slimmer with a more rounded rear end...

Somehow I missed this (above). My bad.

The 8.75 and 8.38 have very different shapes. The 8.38 is much more pointed/rounded, with shorter feeling kicks. The 8.75 is closer to a "full" type shape (e.g. less taper in nose/tail), and longer kicks. I normally ride the 8.25/14.38, hate the 8.38/14.5, and like the 8.75/14.62 a lot. Side note, I recently started riding the 8.75/14.5 Black Label, and I am really, really, really liking it. It's more nimble than the 8.75/14.62, but still has that wider-deck stability. Still a bit clunky on flip tricks, but otherwise a fantastic deck that is quickly replacing my DLX 8.75 as my go-to "big board." Def give that a hard look if you want something a bit more manageable than the 8.75/14.62, but don't want to drop down too much.

Maybe all that board creates the momentum for it to flip over and we're all sleeping on what could be the new best tech shape.

I stood on this deck at the shop thinking it was that 14.35 8.5 they do and it definitely feels every bit as long as the dims.

It is comparable to the older longer DLX shape with dimensions being 8.5 x 32.5 with 14.75 wb or more commonly the 8.62 which is even bigger and longer again, also 14.75 wb with long kicks.

Very stable and solid for going fast, but definitely a bit of a monster for people who are not so used to bigger boards.

Hey there, big boy.

[Mbrimson88]

Hey there, big boy.

Even for an 8.5 sized board they are pretty big.

I still haven't skated any more of the half a dozen I got after I set up the first one.  That said, I don't really skate much bigger stuff any more either, which was why I set it up to begin with.

It is a big, square and comfortable to ride board, but I think there are certain tastes that a lot of people just don't really want in the FULL shape, with more people going for the Full SE shape, as per current market trends.

At least bringing this out every so often, anyone who does like that shape can stock up.
