Has anyone skated this shape before? I've had my eye on it for a while but I don't want it to end up being yet another board I get sick of after a few weeks.



Black Label 10.25" x 31.5" with 14.5"-15" WB

[close]

Yes fucking SICK board

[close]

What did you like/dislike about it? I'm probably just gonna stick Ace 66 and Spitfire 58mm 99a Classics on it.

Also found a pic of the board from way back then

It’s a perfect mix of transition and street board, adjustable wheelbase is actually useful on this board rather than all the other huge ones

Kickflips feel great on it, lots of meat behind the front bolts and the tail is fanned but not too flat

[white guy in a durag]

169 sounds good to destroy on that. what wheels are you going to run? cmon, set it up! 32.5" and 14.5" wb right?

yeah, 32.5" long and 14.5" wb. Got some 54mm bones v4 stfs that I want to try out on it but I gotta scrape off the ugly ass graphic on them first though. I got no idea how anyone thought the highlighter green and white stripes was a good look.

Cool photograph. Props to the woman on the left riding a Small Room deck.

I think they wrote ‘Small Room’ in chalk, on the griptape. Maybe even more sick. First thing that jumped out to me when I saw the very rad pic

Thanks, now I just need to find a shop that actually has it in stock. I'd get it from Black Label's site directly but shipping+tax is another $20 or so and it doesn't come with grip

Fuck it, just spend the extra $20 and buy it directly from Label. Last I heard, Lucero was running that shit out of his house and his best bud just died. Throw an OG a bone!

Kinski was way before I was born but I've seen a few freakout videos of him. Classic. ^^

Love the night hammer

are you regular or goofy footed? I feel like it would be most fun for those who ride regular, so you can look down at the nightmare side.

Yes, there's two versions





I wish they released those Nighthammers and the keychain deck again as well.

Did it, requested for extra accessories to help offset the extra costs. Hopefully he fulfills it.

The pop definitely takes getting used to, but it wasn't impossible. I even got some nollies in haha. I am going to try and see if the pop improves with some old 1/8 risers or no risers next session though. Hopefully the wheels will allow a lower ride even with 58's. Do Ace's shorten the WB by a lot?
