Been lurking through this thread trying to get more info on the Polar Dane 1 and 1992 shapes. I'm getting back into skating after a few years and I got a P9 with 149 thunder trucks and 56mm 92a Ricta Clouds. I'm not loving the shape so far, so I wanted to try 9"+ board and I'm really interested in the Dane or 92. I'm not sure which trucks I would get, I'm debating between 151 thunder or Ace 55, and I want to keep my same wheels.
I'm curious if there's anyone here who has experience riding both the Dane 1 and 92?
For a lot of people it is more about wheelbase than the width, between comparable boards, so if you are shorter or prefer a shorter wheelbase the Dane 1 will be a fairly good board to go with, as it is very short, stubby and easy to skate for street stuff or normal park, whereas anything with a longer wheelbase will be more stable, especially if skating bigger things or going faster, or if you are taller and have your feet further apart.
I meant to add the 1992 shape is a bit more normal with a lot less taper to the back end and slightly longer 14.25 wb, still short to medium wheelbase, but it might be a bit more stable and a good go to board. Not sure how many of them are still out there though.
Either of those trucks will work on it too, but the Ace trucks bring in the wheelbase, whereas Thunder extend the wheelbase a bit more.
Ace = short quick turns.
Thunder = might be more stable on the Dane 1 for some people.
