@FUBAR They are restocked on the Quasi site. Might have to scoop a few myself especially since these new drops have shapes all over the place.

The 8.5 phade I got was the same shape as an 8.5 proto.

I've been riding the 8.5x33 w/ 14.5 WB for a long time because of the straight shape and WB. I remember the 8.5x32.75 w/ 14.25 WB having a slight taper towards the tail. Is that still the case?

I got that Quasi 8.1 Dumb deck. Just wanted to try a new brand. Does that have a square-ish nose? I’ve been curious about a square-ish nose.

A Baker/Deathwish board. I have a few and I’m tempted to get a B16 but worried about going up in WB.

Yeah the tail is just a little smaller on that one but that's really the only difference shape wise. The phade has a more full tail that's a little longer I think.

it’s actually pretty normally popsicle tbh. The 8.25 & 8.5 are the most squarish nose. Every other size (8.0,8.125,8.375,8.6) are all pretty rounded off instead of square. I was bumbed about this at first but I really like the 8.125 shape. It’s really short in length too like 31.5.

Zero 8.5"
Haven't had one in three years, so I'm not sure if their shapes have changed since then. I liked the one I had.
I hope they're not too pointy and mellow. I prefer medium to steep concave on a semi full nose/tail.
Anyone had a Zero or an 8.5 Zero lately?
I'm skating the bold one right now and I'm loving it.

The [any] quasi with a 14.37" WB is not the square proto shape but rounded/pointy.

Proto is 14.25" WB in both 8.5"/8.25

It they weren't $72 without grip I'd bite...

At the expense of sounding like a dummy, B16 shape is for both brands, right?

B16 should be pretty similar wheelbase to all the other baker shapes. I’m on a 8.1 and it’s the same wheelbase as the 8.4

Also I love the b16 just bigger than I’m skating right now

I don’t see b16s that often. One of the best boards I’ve had was one of them.
As an aside, I really like the pointy, mellow, classic baker look. Recently I’ve noticed that more of their boards are steeper, less pointed, which makes sense, but not my favorite.

I like steeper boards actually. But darn, I was looking forward to the pointy board. My friend had one in High School and I loved how it skated.

Most of the deathwish boards listed on their site say something like ‘steeper concave for longer life’. So there’s that. Not sure if they still pointy

From what I've seen their 8.25s come in two shapes. A 14.25 wb and a 14.375. I only like the 14.25 because I can't tre flip longer than that. Not as big of a nose as FA but still bigger than normal.

I honestly don’t find the return to the early 00 era endearing at all and my second deck was a James Craig deck (a kid on a low rider bike) - zero nostalgia for me. TJ is undeniable right now though.
