How are your rotations riding a 15wb? If you're confident fs and bs and ready to put more effort into rotating then sure go longer
I wasn't ready for the change when I put thunders on a 14.5 wb compaired to when I had ace..
Do you mean like kickturns or pop shove-its? I can do both with ease but 360 pop shove-its require bit more effort than a standard popsicle.
I'd grab the garg because it's not much wider than what you're on and I like a less aggressive taper
Aces are great man
It is wider, but I don't think that it's going to feel wider because of the aggressive taper and the 9.75 only being around the front truck. (I think)
I don't really mind taper if the tail is wider than the smallest point at the back bolts. That's what I don't like on my current board.
I think I am going to buy the crest first and after I finish that deck(or if I want something new again
), I will buy the garg. Still fairly new to skating and I don't know what I exactly want out of a deck(and shaped decks are something new for me) so I guess I just need to experiment and buy a few more decks to really find out my preferences.
Appreciate your response!

However do you guys reckon I can get used to 15.5 or 15.75 WB for flatland/ledges?
Both of those have short noses. Drill them to get a more palatable wheelbase and longer nose.
Will do that if I really can't make it work with the standard WB and nose length.
Thanks for the advice hadn't thought of that.
Go with the one you are more stoked on.
Your skating will adjust to your setup, just don’t get frustrated if tricks don’t work like on the old setup, rethink and relearn or focus on other tricks (for the time being)
Yeah I'll just get the crest then and I'll see if I can make it work. I already have been trough the phase of 'relearning' my tricks on a longer WB so I'll just apply the knowledge I have.
Also if you are on 159 Indys I would invest in f4s, aces might be nice but 159s are great too and not worst at all.
F4 compared to ml is a huge difference.
Shape wise i’d Recommend radial slim if you ride big wheels (55+)
I'll keep that in mind thanks. Is wheelbite that bad on the other shapes? I do like to ride bigger wheels yeah. Currently with the 60's I have 1/2 inch riser and loose trucks with bones meds and I only get a little bit of wheelbite.
Thanks man!
