One of the guys I know has the New Deal Siamese (which is on Dwindle wood here in AU) and it felt short and squat, probably much the same as others, so as said, unless you like short boards, it was not comfortable to me.

I can see it in that top pic for sure.


Sweatpants, both views, top and bottom, just in case you needed it...

I'm looking for some feedback on the ND Siamese or maybe the 9.8 Gonz sweatpants. They would be used for regular skating, flip tricks..curbs ledges extra. And run em with 6.1 Ventures. Thanks yo.

[close]

i liked the Siamese. but the nose was a bit short. did my noseslides on my tail cause that felt more comfortable. Sweatpants has a normal nose.

[close]

Thanks man I wasn't sure on the length of the nose. That makes it a no go. The Gonz is looking good but something similar shaped but in the 9.5 range would be even better. Ideally I want something close to the 9.3 Dressen  everslick shape and size..but that's needle in a haystack type shit unfortunately.

About to pull the trigger on one of these…anyone skated it?

Thinking of picking this board up soon



width: 9.6"
length: 32.125"
wheelbase: 14.75"
nose: 6.5"
tail: 6.625"

Anyone skated it before? How is it?

Could I get away with skating 159s with this board?

[TastyBurrito]

Most def did not need anymore boards in my life, but I couldn’t pass up a opportunity to snag a Winkowski.

Love that graphic.

I’ve got the same one in the stack. Im also currently skating that same shape with the Trash Panda graphic.

Shape is FUN once you get used to the concave/tail/flat nose.

How are you planning to set it up?

Just set this Heroin up thinking this would be the closest to a Winkowski I'd ever get



But the set up for the Winkowski would be this after I skate through it:

Indy 169
OJ 58mm 101a
Bronson Ceramics

[beandemon]

I’ve got that Winki in the slimmed down “street”version- bit more nose, no whale tail.  Retired due to shiny grip, but tons of life left. I should regrip. Cruz missile II concave is sick.
Also have the hair-o-ween “street baller” version.

Oh, just realized my Birdcage (and Trash Panda) are both the 10” versions.

It’s confusing with the use of the same Birdcage graphic on both the 10.34” and 10” shapes.

If it tapers down as much as it looks, then 159s should work quite well on it.

Most of those boards (like the Sweatpants I have) might say high 9s in the widest point, but over the trucks will be a lot less, back truck area being about 8.8 which is 159 territory.

managed to get a Curbkiller. now i need wide trucks. the widest i hv right now is ace 55s.. locally i can get Indy 215s & ace 66s classics from the local skateshop. no ace af1 or even classics 77s available in our local skateshop though.

[close]

Nice one! Biggest Ace classic is the 66. I’d probably get those for the curb killer myself if I could ever find one. Having skated the 55 & 66 AF1s almost exclusively since they came out I’m pretty sure I prefer the classics.

ordered the 66 classics, since it's readily available locally.the axle length is only 0.15" shorter than the af1-77.

Nice! I’d love to see a pic with it all set up.

I’m still hoping I’ll get the curb killer somewhere eventually. Been thinking if the purple Ace 66s would look rad on it. Not a big fan of colored trucks but I’m not against them either. For a big egg shape going for some slightly ridiculous looking trucks should work nicely I think.

to me it's huge  the biggest deck i've ever rode before this was the Santa Cruz Tom Knox Cop Killer from 1991..hunting for another Curbkiller or just a Big Egg..

Sweatpants is a great versatile wide boy. I rode it with Indy 159s. But 151s or 6.1s would be nice also, I imagine.

Love the Sweatpants. Switched to a popsicle again for street but still taking my Sweatpants setup to the bowl. Always skate some flat, too, and it’s fun. Not the best flipper, in my opinion, but neither am I. Strong vote for 169s on it, I think they are a perfect match. Here are some photos:

I just bought that Krooked sweatpants deck to put on my 169s (which I complained previously I was having an impossible time finding a good board for) and I really, really love this setup. Sweatpants +169s is just too fun - the wb is perfect and you can really catch the nose to snap gigantic ollies

I'm also waiting for my Sweatpants to show up so I can set it up with some 169s. Thanks everybody!

Congrats, wide pops are the way to go with big feet and Heroin make the best ones. Funny btw, are those DC Cure high tops? Just got them, too, they are one of very few options when it comes to cupsoles in my size (US15). Been really enjoying them so far.

ya they are! sole of the right shoe started peeling (my back foot, i'm regular) in a few places after 1 week of light skating! they've offered me a replacement. gonna see if this super glue holds better than the shoe goo that didn't...before i decide to send em back. i really love these, maybe it's just the new grizzly grip?

That’s weird, mine don’t do that after a few weeks of intense skating. Though I flicked a hole into the toe area after three sessions and had to go the Shoe Goo route. Still, so much more stable than the Blazers I had before, don’t want to go back. Sorry for off-topic everyone, btw.

Got this 9.5 Craig Questions shape to try something different, and thus far I'm really liking it. Just have a question about wider decks, does anyone find that they snap faster? I have snapped 2 out of 3 Heroin eggs in about a month of skating them, even though I've never snapped any of my 8.5 popsicles. Just bad luck or does anyone experience the same thing on their Heroin decks?
