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

[WelcomeToHell]

What the fuck!  Thats insanely rad!  That wheelbase is 😍

Curious how wide it is over rear trucks.

I’ll measure tonight and let you know.

It's 8.75 over the front trucks and 8.5 over the rear. I'm running 169s, but might bump down to 159s.

Yeah I might need to stash one of these to ride with 149s. That sounds really fun actually.

It's such a fun ride. The wheelbase is kind of bonkers, but not in a bad way. I'm used 14.50. It just took a minute to get used to, but it was a dream skating the mini bowl. So much control.

nice setup
whats the width over the trucks?

[144p]

8.75 in back and 9 up front.
I can’t remember what size trucks I rode on this way back when but I’m sure they were too big.
I feel like these 8.75 trucks fit well.

Had to pull the trigger on the Skull Skates 10' Diehard shape. One for the wall one to skate.
Anybody tried one of them?

I love the look of skull skates decks but I can’t bring myself to support them because there are still so many Duane Peters decks from that company.
Like they don’t seem to have acknowledged how much of a bad person he is at all.

[alraunen]

My two currents setups. I took the Enjoi because I liked the the 14,25 WB on a 9" but wasn't convinced about the quality of Dwindle wood. Surprisingly it's holding really good, especially the concave.

I haven't skated much the chocolate because I want to pair it with ACE 60, does anybody tried the combo?

I fully get what you are saying. But to me its still one of the most respectable brands since they never really changed and have been around since the 70s.
The clothing and boards always are top notch quality.

Dwindle wood is amazing.

I'd definitely ride their boards but they don't seem to make anything in my preferred shape of 8.75x long wb/length

Got that same Choco and it’s snappy. I have 159s on mine, but the quality of that wood is on point.

I think that’s the fact that they haven’t changed is the reason I have a problem with them, I have so much love for 80s and 90s skating but I think you can continue to keep that era going without supporting people who are as awful as him, they could do everything they’re doing but not use his name, I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay with the fact that they continue to keep his legacy going, which is a shame because like I said, I really love everything else about the company.

I agree with you 100% on DP.  But I think the relationship with Skull has ended and anything they may have on the website is old stock.  The relaunched Brand X / Toxic is the newest train that he has latched onto. I have seen numerous instances on social media where people have posted concerns about his homophobic and xenophobic rants, as well as the bat shit crazy conspiracy theories like his stories that Tony Hawk is responsible for the death of his son. In response toxic just deletes the comments. 

It bums me out that over the last five or six years companies have continued to support him. I love almost everything that pocket pistols does. But I believe they were making Duane Peters boards as well for a while.

What the fuck? I knew he was doing the MAGA bullshit and all that. I did not know that he was this fried

If they are just selling off old stock then that’s understandable, just the fact that there’s so much stuff led me to believe they were making new stuff and I found that a bit upsetting.

I’m a Skull Skates fan, but the Japanese shop has some kinda right-wing fanboy ties and sell a rising sun flag hoody, which over here is akin to wearing a Confederate Flag.

Just my 2 cents… but I feel like DP has some serious mental/addiction issues so I’m maybe willing to cut him some slack. That dude was one of the gnarliest skaters on Earth in his day. His contribution to skateboarding is undeniable.

Granted, he has said and done terrible things since.  But, I’m trying to separate the art from the artist here.  And I can’t blame a skateboard company like Skull Skates for continuing to make DP decks if people are buying them.

But, by all means vote with your dollars if it bothers you.

Doesn't matter if you laughed, or cried, or just stared, Gleaming the Cube was a pretty epic movie for the time, complete with inaccuracies and stupid stuff only skateboarders would notice, but I still thought it was worth posting.

So sick.  This, the Circle Jerks Tyson Baker board and the Heated Wheel California Cruiser from the recent drop are all similar answers to my prayers for 14.75 plus WB retro shapes.  Such a dope trend.

Metal missed out on the Gleaming $ by not thinking of that one. Even Hawks getting back in on it again:

No offense to your current setup but that Lucero shape looks amazing.

Very stoked to skate the Vallely deck I picked up today at Embark. But also equally excited to setup the Curb Shark.

One of them will be my first deck back since I fucked my meniscus in August.
