You ever see an old shape that you'd think would be cool to skate but it's not made anymore so you do it yourself? That's exactly what I did.
Black Label John Lucero Emergency Cross, reshaped. I cut down the nose making the length from 33" to about 31", and added a taper. I also redrilled the already double drilled wheelbase to 15", so here's to hoping the deck doesn't break when I step on it :v I did my best to match the original 80s/90s Santa Cruz shape, but there weren't many clear images of it.
Indy 159 standards with stock bushings
Spitfire F4 Conical Full 56mm 99a
Bones Super Reds Ceramics
Jessup Ultra + MOB Clear
Santa Cruz rails
1" hardware
Before/after:
Santa Cruz shape vs my work
The obvious difference is the taper, but I wasn't sure if the taper was steep due to the photo angle so I played it safe. Overall, not bad for having little to work with.
