Big Boards 9"+( I wanna hear big boys talk about their big boards)

[Seventyfrigginseven]

This was the beginning of the big board tre struggle. But with some advice from pals on here, I catch them more often than not now. Shalom big boys.

Ripping!

So much juice in here right now

Thanks guys can’t wait to roll around once my hip stops acting up

Almost there

[mynameisnotjeff]

Ordered a Lance Reissue. I’ll set it up if it gets here today and post a slappy. May need some bigger bolts for the riser pad I want to throw on (thanks @GardenSkater77 )

[Jory4]

Ok so it’s technically 8.9 but everyone loves the brown bomber?!!

Also the most picturesque ditch layback ever on an old streetplant

Creature Stump Shape 9"
L 32.15", WB 14.25", N 7.25", T 6.8"
Indy 169, SF Lock-ins 55mm

My first non BBS manufactured trick deck, but I liked the dimensions and the creature crew so i thought I'd try a dwindle made, I have a few madness decks as cruisers and they are good quality. Did a few tricks in the basement and the pop and size was perfect, we'll see if it gets soggy quick, or has any other problems, but first impressions the quality was up to par with bbs, solid feel no defects.

Just got this bad boy in the mail. I am used to a 14.75 wheelbase and skate mostly transition, was a little worried about the small wheelbase but god damn it looks good. Looking forward to hearing how its working out for you. I am gonna pair it with ace 55s and 55 lock ins.

It's been a while since I've had a shaped board so I thought I'd try something different

Love Seat 9.0
159 hollow standard
54mm conical full

[Nth syd bear]

So I am loving my rudy fubk, It is a fucking blast.

Coming from 7.5 to 7.875s, its insane how much more stable it is and although heavier, more appropriate for certain things, and just feels awesome.

When it is toast I want to get another deck pretty close to it.

These reissue are a little pricey though, but I will get another if there are no other options. Also thinking if they stop making them.

Mine says its  8.98 x 31.8. So really anything around 9 x 32, would be ok I think?

What would you big boys suggest, that is pretty close in shape and general size?

closest thing is the love seat. It's 9 x 32 x 13.875??

 I got 2 Rudy FUBK left and a love seat to try at some point

I’ve been wanting to buy a bannerot deck just bc I back the kid hard and I love that he usually skates on a couch or a loveseat.

Haven’t owned a girl deck in over 15 years and I’m still nervous about trying it, but the loveseat and the phawt shapes just may have me try it again.

Please let me know how it skates and if it holds up.

I loved my first loveseat, but it felt dead pretty fast and pressure cracked a little. I am 4 sessions in on another one and it's been great. I don't skate it very often so I hope it lasts because it is one of the best shapes ever imo. It skates perfect for everything I do.

[sammyz]

those girl deck shapes are awesome...loved mine...got cracks pretty quickly...but loved the shape and feel.

I feel like I have now found the perfect deck for me...similar shape to the girl, but feels better for me...

Tired Sigar
Ace 55s
Loophole 56mm V-shape
Shorty's 1"/Reds/Mob

Out with the old, in with the new. The Deathwish football was sick but the rails weren't doing it for me. One of them got loose and dug a huge chunk out of the bottom couple plies, and they also put me on my ass a lot. So I think my time with them is done, though if I hadn't put them on I feel like the board would have kept its juice for a while.

Tired lists the Sigar shape as 9.25" x 32" with a 14" WB, but from my measurements it is 9.125" x 31.6" with a 14.25" WB. Tired is pressed by PS, so while it explains the difference in length and width the WB doesn't make sense. That being said, I took it for a little slappy session and after skating two boards with a 13.875" WB (the Deathwish and a Girl Loveseat), the 14.25" feels really spacious and nice. I am a little concerned about the tiny nose since I do a lot of noseslides, but I learned that trick on a 7.5" so I am just going to deal with it.

Overall the shape kind of reminds me of what I imagine the Doubles 90s or the Theories Special Delivery is like. This is my first PS board in years, so I am also curious to see how it holds up.

Loopholes are so good!

[FrozenIndustries]

Loopholes are so good!

Yeah, I love them! I've dabbled in bigger wheels but this is the first time I've been super hyped on a set. I also noticed that when they bite it is a little more forgiving then on 99 F4s so that is kind of cool. I don't know if I'll switch forever but I am feeling oddly sane on them.

Not bad! I run my Aces maybe a 1/4 or a 1/2 turn tighter than stock and only really get wheelbite when I'm doing super deep turns. I was going to use risers but I felt like going from 52mm to 56mm plus risers would have been way too drastic. But yeah, the loopholes don't bite as abruptly as my 99 F4s do...maybe its the durometer and formula.

[Jory4]

I’m on 55’s with 56 conical slimeballs nuts are stock

There are wheel bite marks on the deck but I’ve yet to get pitched by a bite (& I’m in no way a precise skater!)

I rock 1/8 inch risers and have wheels wells so it’s hard to say

My big brother had that board the first time round..  like what 86/87??

(If GISM see's this) I rember he got it from Chatswood cycles..

Looks sick top photo really is classic.
Would be a trip to skate looking down at that dragon after all these years

[sharkin]

props for setting that up immediately

im sure 95% of those will go in a closet or on a wall

I scooped up 2, one to hang and the other to ride.
I had other plans but, I’ve been dying for this board. It was wild to scoop up.
I’ve been bouncing around from shapes so this is interesting.

Fuck! Haven’t heard someone say Chatswood Cycles in about 30 years! That was my local skate shop

[mynameisnotjeff]

Fellow users of rails. My rail popped off halfway.
Should I use a drill next time or stick to a screwdriver. Never had one pop off. Not sure if it’s because of the board shape.
