Big Boards 9"+( I wanna hear big boys talk about their big boards)

Grabbed a 9.5 Black Label Jason Adams Curb Shark. Very stoked to get this out once my knee heals up.

Specs:
9.5"x32.75" with a 14.625" wheelbase. The deck is actually about 9" at the trucks so I threw some Indy 169s on.

So good!

I had a couple of the other Adams boards (Six Gun re-release) but they tapered too much, so just didn't balance out.  In looking at that one, I was still hesitant, but it looks much more normal right through.

This is the second one of these on here which triggered my thought to question the width over bolts, which as you said is about 9.


Thanks.

Yeah, it's not a severe taper from bolts to bolts. About a half-inch difference on each end compared to the center of the board. Haven't had a chance to ride it, but I'd imagine is feels more like a 9" board than a 9.5".

My only concern is killing myself or someone else with that nose!

Punk points used to be a little more prone to chipping up if the board ran into something, but overall they still held up well and didn't kill anyone or anything while I had them.

I forget which brand but there was a super pointy board from someone else a while back that was a bit more of a weapon, maybe Assault Skateboards or something similar and that thing was dangerous.

Funny how quickly some people moved out of the way of that thing when it was hauling ass round a busy park.

Scram 10.5
15" wb

trucks, wheels, etc the same as the Powell Frankie Hill setup I posted a while back.
embracing the longer wheelbase since I learned the ace 66 classics shorten it up a lot compared to other trucks I like to ride

really stoked on the tailblock divot (maybe itll help me learn them on things taller than 3ft? scary to slip)
and stoked on Scram in general. gonna listen to a bunch of Nausea and dub reggae and channel my inner crustie

That looks so sick set up.  One of those shapes that need trucks and wheels and grip to be fully appreciated

Yeah you’re right. It was an Assault deck. Ricky Winsor to be exact. Had a few of them and they were great to teach people not to snake you in bowls. Get 1 warning then speared. The only drawback was those had like a 15.5 wb.

Roisto question in the Woodshop thread about Blast made me check and this is the most recent post, which looks quite nice.

They are now through Quarter Dist for wood and everything, so should get a bit more coverage too.

Damn, Blast's art direction is so sick. Anyone know about any shops that carry their product in Europe outside of the UK? I'm not paying 35 euros in shipping and import fees to get a single deck from their own site. Route One has tax free shipping, but they currently don't carry much Blast stuff.

Found those with a quick search. Can vouch especially for Black Heaven. Great shop. I’ve ordered something from Concrete Wave too and had no issues. Feed My Soul I have no experience with. I’d be also interested in hearing about more places in EU which sell Blast. I also love the art direction.

Thanks for the link! For some reason German shops never turn up in my Google searches, same thing happens when looking for Heroin decks in Europe.

I was curious about the size of that board, besides the quoted 9.25 width, but the funny thing is all three sites have different measurements.

Guessing it is on the shorter side if it has a shorter wheelbase, 14.1 to 14.25 listed, with one having length at 32+ (maybe measured with concave) and the other having 31.5 which adds up better with the wheelbase and the shorter kicks.

i love that curb board. shape looks so fun, the graphic and colors are great. but im scared to go below 9.5, i really hate hotrodding. if anyone gets it can measure above the trucks it be great, but i t looks under 9"s.

@djoekr
i have the same problem. in general wheneven i search any specific item i allways only get US and UK shops on google. really annoying.

It was the same for me until recently. For some reason I’ve been getting more German shops in my results lately. Is it because I’ve been visiting Germany a bunch or because I’ve been specifically seeking out German skate shops or because I’m taking German lessons at work or because I’ve been listening to some mad German après-ski music, I do not know but it is a welcome change as ordering anything from the US or UK to Finland isn’t really cost effective. Also it’s nice to order from actual skate shops and not from some big ass chains with huge online stores.

[spacial_profiling]

Probably already mentioned here, but the Grosso shaped board is great. Long WB, flips well, mad stable.

Might be a Dutch problem then. I'm in the same boat about the Blast deck, it looks great, but I've been riding my Heroin Mutant a lot lately and got another one on ice so I'm not looking forward to sizing down again. I still got a Huffer and a Zane 9" if I wanna go down too so Imma have to skip this one.

[pops]

I gave my 9.25 Couch shape another chance. Previously it felt really short but now I actually think it's my favorite board in a while. Anyone ridden it with sub 9" trucks?

Is that the shape they used to sell as the big cruiser complete? If so yes I've skated it with 149 Indy and thunders. It works but I already prefer trucks a bit smaller than deck

Yes, works great with Indy 159s.

Agreed.  Rode the Couch with 169s and 159s. Felt better and more surfy on the 159s.

Please don't listen to German après-ski music.
It starts with that and in the end you are a solarium tanned coke addict with neon colored clothes and no teeth. Shit ain't good for you mate.

A few German skate shops you can support if you like.

Thank you for the advice mate! Unfortunately it’s too late for me now. A few trips to the Austrian alps and a few too many schnapps at the après-ski is all it took. That stuff is so bad it’s actually good!

Left my board at the shop cause it was raining, came back today to pick it up and it was super warped. My fault for leaving it in a closet that traps a lot of heat. That meant new deck time :v




Black Label John Lucero "STREET THING" Full White Dip 9.88" x 32.25" 14.5"- 15" adjustable wheelbase
Independent x Toy Machine 159 Standards with stock bushings
NFG MFG 52D 60mm (marked as 60mm but they actually measure ~58mm)
Bones Super Reds Ceramics
Bones 1/8" riser pads
Independent x Slayer 1" hardware
Jessup Ultra

Second Street Thing deck this year. I rode the previous one with 169s and 161s, and 159s feel way better with this board so far. Back truck looks crooked because I'm still breaking in the bushings.
