Wheelbase is indeed 13.25 the turning is insane lol. I'm addicted to short wheelbases these days so I couldn't resist going this short. Yeah the nose definitely showed up slightly warped but not really to the point where it reaches the truck so I didn't really mind. Buddy of mine today mentioned every prime board he has had was warped upon arrival or warped quickly after riding or hanging on the wall, so it's interesting that they're still in business while being known for shit like that happening so often.

Same height and I'm imagining rolling over a crack while setting up for an Ollie with my heels touching...

Love that shape, wow, 13.25 is wild.

Dimensions
10.0 X 29.666 WB 15
Pigish 10 Shape


All the other Metal (Alien workshop / Habitat) boards are currently BBS, so I am guessing it is too, unless they did a specific board with someone else for the pig shape / style of board.

Gone since 1988.  I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I have some 1/2"ers on there. Woops.

Wheelbase feels good at 15" but the basically non existent nose is throwing me for a loop.

For sure, although some stains are a little off putting, but at least removing graphics or even spray over an obnoxious stain can help there.

More so my question is how the wheel wells line up and if you notice the difference, extra lean or room to move there?

no pic but I picked up a madness pelka blunt. I really like it so far, but the ace 66 with 58mm spitfire conical full makes the rear stick out a little which I do not like. I'll learn to live with it I guess. I'm thinking of snagging the Losi guest model since I do prefer a little more nose on a board. At this point I've just been looking at decks in the 9.5" and up range. My son has taken my loveseat as his own pretty much, and now when I step on it it feels small as can be. Variety being the spice of life, I'd like to be used to switching from a larger board to a smaller one and vice versa with as little getting used-to-it period as possible. What i lack in ability I can make up for with variety of deck excuses maybe.

Currently riding this shape and I've got real mixed feelings about it. Some days I can't even get a decent pop out of it and the whole session feels off, while other days it feels awesome. I've got a feeling that the smaller wheelbase is throwing me off, as I'm used to wheelbases around the 14.5 mark. Could be some other factors influencing my skating too, as I just moved to another city and I'm still looking for comfortable spots. I've been skating it for two months now, razored about 3 plies, so it's not like I'm still getting used to the shape. There have been sessions where I got frustrated to the point were I was seriously considering focusing it, something I've never felt before.

I have been wanting to skate something similar to the Henry FUK board and I almost picked up a sweatpants a while back. But something about those wheels wells may make this the one I do pick up.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

Dead Dave and "skinny" Dead Dave... 8)





The recent one feels like a "normal" skateboard (compared)...kind of like the 10.1 more...I've been trying to learn as many footplants as I could, in small transition mostly...for that I guess you can't beat the feeling of the 10.1"!

Been using a "normal" 8.5" popsicle lately for the street stuff I do...mainly learning slappies at the moment. 10.1" and 8.5" seems like a good combo, still kind of undecided about the 9.75" version? Need more miles though, just a couple of park sessions in. Really dig the new graphics though.

This is a long shot but does anyone have one of these and wants to part ways with it? It’s like my dream deck and I am really hoping that they will do a reissue one day!

I feel like I’ve heard too much shit about that team that’s made me not want to support them but I love Frog, they have reissued other shapes from the past so fingers crossed this one gets the same treatment!

Cheers for the suggestion though, that is exactly the same isn’t it haha

It looks like the stock BBS / Generator shape from their site too, so I am guessing it is not just a one off in that regard.

GS6 shape

https://skatesamples.com/products/shaped-decks








The most frustrating thing about that is although you don't need graphics, sometimes the shop will have sales or discounts, which might bring the board down to a more medium price, free shipping, free grip, but from the BBS / Generator online site, you have to buy your own grip and pay for shipping, so depending on where you are or how many of them you get, it can work out nicely or it can work out to be much the same after all that.

Just another option anyway, so at least you know what is there, if nothing else, they should always be in stock, by the look of things.

Can always count on you for board info. Your work is appreciated.
Your posting that pic has saved me when I run out of the shovel noses I’ve been riding for the past couple years, there’s one close enough shape wise I can make it into it and keep it the same dims.
