Sick setup! I want one of those symmetrical eggs bad, I think they look a lot better without the wheel wells.

Thanks. Occasionally some, if they’re really small will move but for the most part, it stays.

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.
You did good sir.

What do you use to cut it up like that? I feel like you'd blow through razor blades pretty quick.

Just some cheap scissors I have in my shop for cutting sand paper. Probably $2 ikeas or something.

9.625” - 9,375“. Pretty much bang on 9.5” where the axle sits on the Ace Classics. Ace AF1 77s would probably work well too but I wanted the widest classics to test them out as I think I still slightly prefer classics over the AF1s.

can also depend on the brand. get one that sticks best. also if you wait a couple days after sticking it on its less likely to fall off/move too. gives the glue some time to dry.

I feel like I have seen some somewhere on Slap, but there is also the blanks thread here - someone spaced out the letters so it doesn't really come up on searches well.

I haven’t gotten any uncuts from him, but I’ve had a few Wouldshop decks. They are very high quality.

Follow him on Instagram, he usually reposts decks that people have made with his uncuts

Been lurking through this thread trying to get more info on the Polar Dane 1 and 1992 shapes. I'm getting back into skating after a few years and I got a P9 with 149 thunder trucks and 56mm 92a Ricta Clouds. I'm not loving the shape so far, so I wanted to try 9"+ board and I'm really interested in the Dane or 92. I'm not sure which trucks I would get, I'm debating between 151 thunder or Ace 55, and I want to keep my same wheels.

I'm curious if there's anyone here who has experience riding both the Dane 1 and 92?

Set this up with some 169’s, ditchtechs…..it’s huge but the tapers make it manageable….comes in a deerman graphic too….10” wide…..it’s no joke…

Finally got the 9.0 Enjoi and man this thing is a beast



I have it setup with 151 Team Hollows and 52mm conicals (worn down to around 50mm). Might put 159 titaniums on instead, but I’m coming back from an ankle injury and want a longer WB for stability. Gonna take it to the curbs tomorrow.

I’d grab one if I was back in Canada. Ace Classic 66s and ditchtecks or 97a Spits.

This shape always struck me as a good all rounder.

I guess it is much the same as the Grosso shape, slightly squared off nose, squared off tail with a bit of a curve through the front foot area and tapering a bit down towards the tail.

Lurpiv IKP 159
Dogtown Rallys 54mm 99a
Bones Super Swiss 6

Been a while since I've skated a deck that's 32" long, which is definitely something I'm still getting used to.

been wanting to set up a big boy board, do shops sell grip fatter than 9" or am i doomed to have the sides exposed?

Mob sells 11 inch wide grip (I’m sure others do too) that covers all of these shapes.

Asking here because big boards often have longer wheel bases: Any tips on small, steep banks or transition, specifically clearing the nose or tail on re-entry. Not really looking to pop out.
