Been a while since I've skated a deck that's 32" long, which is definitely something I'm still getting used to.
@Orangepulp1000 FWIW I switched to Thunder 161s on this board and found myself having a much better time with it.
The silly thing is I am sure most of the 9+ boards would skate better on 9+ trucks, even with the taper, but when I look down at the back truck, it makes me doubt it and then puts me off the whole board, before even setting it up or more often I sell it on.
Others who have set up boards much like that who find it does work then make me think it is not a worry and I have got and skated boards with tapers like that before, often used from others, and just to see what they are like, so it is just the initial look and think "No" that gets me there.
Thinking of 80s boards, they always had a lot of back wheel sticking out and that is how they skated them, but I also question the width of the tail on some of the newer ones, that almost look smaller than some of my normal boards.
I guess that is also why the Huffer shape works so well, because the tail on that thing is still pretty big and wide.
No harm in looking at a lot of options and that is what makes this thread so good, because I can see quite a few boards that I have that I am just yet to set up for whatever reason, usually because the trucks don't quite fit on it to my liking.
* Yes I am my own worst enemy in that regard!!!
