What are some boards that match up well with 215s? They should be at least 10.5" wide, more if heavily tapered?
Zip Zogger would probably fit that bill. 10.75 wide. I love that shape with 169’s and I imagine 215’s would be awesome
I'm trying to convince myself to try a setup like this, the zip zogger and 215s are in stock a few places, but it truly seems like just a cruiser. I did read some old posts, maybe you and others, saying it could ollie well though, which is intriguing.
What would the zogger and 215s do better than the 10" egg on Ace 66 or 169s, besides cruise? I'm loving my 10" egg the more I ride it. The giant egg and my Welcome Effigy 8.8 are my favorite bowl boards right now. Giant egg still cruises so well too, and ollies higher than most of my small boards.
How are you liking your street baller. I'm liking mine for a different reason than I thought I would. It feels super small and light even compared to some thinner and lighter boards, I suspect that it's just cuz it's short. Does the Zogger feel a lot smaller than it is, because it's so short?
Honestly, the Zip Zogger isn’t any better for any tricks or anything than the big Eggs, but I do like it for Ollies and basic grind/slide tricks. More than anything it’s a super fun feeling board. It’s like riding a toilet seat haha
Man, I have a love/hate thing going on with that a Street baller. I took a break from it and set up another Dane 1. I think the Street baller is one of those decks I just have to be in the perfect mood for, like the Scram Fink. I’ll likely throw it on for a week or two at a time, love it and then get tired of it and switch off.
The Zogger does kind of feel smaller because of the length. The pop on it feels like jumping on a Pogo ball because it’s short with a short but steepish tail.
For skatepark and bowl, I’m enjoying the eggs more than the directional shaped boards. The tails feel more “normal” and functional. I like the street baller better for riding street, ollie and jibbing around flat ground with some speed, and some slappy stuff. But I’m getting more into transition lately.
I skated my Primi 9.13 egg back to back with a directional welcome effigy 8.8 board, and although the egg nose and tail feel smaller, they again feel more functional. I do like the effigy shape in the same way I like the St Baller though, for directional street skating.
Soo, I’m going to skip the ditch witch (now in stock on heroins shopify and bakerboydist) and craig 10” until the st baller dies, I don’t need multiple directional boards. I want to try a long wb 9” popsicle, I think I’m really gonna dig it. I’m gonna grab one this week.
I put my 10” egg on Ace 66s with .1” risers, and it needs 1/4” risers for sure. I’m getting crazy wheelbite, even when I tighten them too much. I didn’t have this issue on the 169 standards. I love how the aces turn and their overall feel, before I get to the point of wheelbite. I need to figure these trucks out.
