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

[ToshiroTownune]

i want a heroin mutant
but i dont want to size up from 8.75 axles
is it a waste of time/$ to buy one and not size up trucks?

You could split the difference and go with a mid mutant 9.25. There's still some available online.

Definitely want to use this as a dedicated park board but it's fun on curbs and flat so far

I have multiple Winkys, once used to them they actually skate pretty well, but in my current phase of madness I need a big steep nose. When I switch to a winky always feel my front foot will go missing off the end of the nose 👃

Beautiful set-up man

Just showed up today:


If I hadn’t just gripped a deck right before it came I’d be on it tonight.
Oh, $58 shipped from Black Market if y’all are into this shape.

Looks killer, @Plan9Customs.  Hope you’re doing well, bud.

Old School Skateboards—a wood shop out of Philly—does single orders and I got this blank fishtail they call the Trenton. Arrived today!

Very, very fun. 9.125x32x16” WB. It’s 8.625 over the front truck and about 8.125 over the back truck. Indy 149s worked perfectly.

And the deck itself feels top shelf. It was $45 shipped (to Maryland).

Funny enough, I’d asked in the DLX thread about the Krooked Barbee shape, which has similar dimensions to this board so I was able to grab the right trucks and get this thing set up quickly.

55mm Spitfire F4 OG Classic

Pepper Grip
Shorty’s hardware

Measuring out the Grosso shape compared to the Nooner, it’s pretty much the same - slightly shaved and squished WB.

Grosso:
9.25 x 33
15.5 WB
6.75 Nose
6.75 Tail

Nooner:
9 x 32
14.25 WB
6.75 Nose
6.75 Tail

[sharkin]

on a similar note, there's a new, shortened beamer on the block
evil beamer coupe with a 29.2" L, 14.75" WB vs the 34" L, 16" WB OG

I’ve ridden the regular Grosso size on basically the same set up (difference was 56mm conical full) on the 14.75” wb option, and this one still feels a bit quicker and when carving bowls.

Even the shorter overall length feels nicer.

Been loving the loveseat and couch shapes but not the crail graphics. Put together this complete yesterday. Usually i've been skating af1 but thought to try the thunder 151 to stretch the wb just a little. I'm thinking it will help my 360 flips not over rotate. I guess I'll see soon enough. 52mm spit classics

[Frank and Fred]

I'm a big fan of 151s on the Love seat/ Couch.

I just want to know what trucks Swampy was running on those. That’s a pass on those although the multi truck holes look fun. Offset trucks just shits and giggles.

I know it might be a bit controversial haha
But they’re my favourite trucks and I can’t really skate anything else, I have them super loose and they carve beautifully!

Athen Mccrary skates ventures on all different kinds of Scram decks and he mainly skates street, really really well!

Posting this in here as well... I think I may have finally dialed in what I'm staying on and shook the madness 

• Krooked Family Affair 9.81"x32" w/ 14.37" wb
• Ace AF1 Hollow 66's (Ace 91a top bushings as tops/bottoms)
• Ace 7/8" Allen hardware
• Bones Swiss
• Spitfire F4 Classic 99a 56's

Also, an NBD (for me) for good measure

I've never been as close to landing a 360 flip as when I was riding my last couch shape. My current Black Label egg is pretty similar, but slimmer and longer.

The short ass wheelbase is my favorite part of those shapes, feels like skating a boogie board

Wasn’t bashing, just honestly the first time I’d seen Ventures used on one.

Maybe a few more dudes than anyone would first think.

Also don't know how current that is.

I fucking love Heroin, Earth Goblin was the first full-length I watched and I immediately fell in love with the brand aesthetic, but the recent months I've seen way too much 'silly guy on a wide board'-footage from them. And that's coming from someone who loves silly tricks and wide boards.

No offence whatsoever to Fos because I think he is a great guy but I think that Heroin just seems to be predominantly a company for people who like to collect stuff, 90% of their community online is just people who have dozens and dozens of pristine setups that they will never skate, at this point it seems like he is selling art more than skateboards, which I guess is cool on its own way!
