I scored some stage 7 215's on eBay that are brand new, only used on a wall mounted board. Finding a deck where these gigantic things will fit that has a short wheelbase has been hard. Can anyone help me out with some links? I hate hot rodding so I don't want them sticking out past the deck at all, either.

Heroin Wideboy (10.75” egg, 10.3 over the trucks) and Anatomy of a Wideboy (10.4” Egg, 10” over the trucks) both have nice tidy wheelbases around 14.25-14.3. I know people have run 215s on the Dead Dave mutant shape, but I think that’d hot rod too much for your liking.

Scram has big popsicles but all have 15” wheelbases I think. Maybe something from Sea Rat or Pete’s Pigs?

Thanks man, I'm thinking the 10.4 anatomy of a wideboy is the best choice. My only issue is...once I put some wheels on these 215's  they just look disgustingly wide. I almost can't handle it lol.

They’re honkers that’s for sure. At least for me, I find a bigger wheel aesthetically preferable on wide trucks, little and narrow wheels just accentuate the gigantic hangers.

Well, I did it. Running 1/4" risers under the trucks actually provided a great feeling and sounding ollie when I pop this gigantic thing. Turning feels stage 4 100%, insanely good. But somehow I basically lost slappies and having so much hanger is making some stuff really weird and challenging and at times I wanted to just give up on this thing. Going to skate all day today and try getting used to it more.

such a cool shape
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

If you don’t like it try it on 10 inch trucks, it was way better like that for me

Rad setup. The first couple sessions it’ll feel like you’re swimming in trucks. Stick with it, it’ll feel better after a few sessions.

Great score on that one. Also backing what @Anxiety said about 215s on that one.

The last two sessions I've had have been the best ever. I think now I'm addicted to 215's ;D

Sorry probably jumping in when not needed, but this one with a black out paint job.

I am curious what you did on it though - very shiny and smooth looking for sure!





I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.
