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

[Mbrimson88]

.

I posted in the DLX shapes thread, but this might be of interest here too:

I see all the new ones are currently in Tactics, so probably elsewhere as well.

A few old shapes back, like the shorter 8.28 board, but the main interest is the new 10" twin shape, or at least they call it twin but Tactics has it as slightly different kicks, but overall it is a monster, big wide long etc.  You can work out for yourself if you don't agree - no worries there.

It's a standard bbs 9x33 w/15wb. I modified this one by chopping a little nose and tail off and shortening wb to 14.25. brand is out of Portland. I started it back in 2008, then shut it down in 2013. One of the kids I used to sponsor brought it back and is running it now. Some original graphics and a lot of new ones. He sends me care packages from time to time, bless his heart.

your left accel og is making that 9 look like a 7.75
mods sound rad.

^^i wear a 13, so yeah with those big potatoes def dwarfs the board. 8.75 and up feels right with my paddles. thx.

I'm a long time lurker, but I've been enthralled by this thread for a good few months. I've been contemplating on getting a big shape setup for a good while and when I got injured before the new year I thought I'd bite the bullet. Initially I was going for an Opera deck but I sourced the SC Knox locally so ended up with that.



Santa Cruz Knox Punk 9.89"x31.75"
Ace Af-1 Hollow 60
OJ Elite 54 95A
Ace Risers
Reds
Indy Hardware
I don't know if I'll stick with the Oj's. I was initially going for 97A Classics but got these for practically nothing second hand. Wider wheels would also help with tiny magic carpet that the setup now has but I'll ride it and see how it feels first.

I'll have to end by saying thanks for all the great info on here. It has been a huge help. I've had to study a lot lately when sizing up on setups.

rails bent to avoid wheelbite or is there another reason?

[Anxiety]

Yeah it’s me

Thanks I needed a break from all internet stuff reset my head

The rails are bent for that yeah but also because when I skate transition I like my boardslides to go faster when they’re completely lapped over if that makes any sense

do you have a flat washer on your trucks or do you just have no top washer?

No top washer at all

At first I was opposed to the idea but it works and doesn’t effect the geo at all

That setup looks beautiful. I would like to see a pic when it is skated and scratched up.

How do you like the Thunder 94 duro bushings? Do they get harder after some time?

Here you go, next to my crusty spot setup too, same deck but with venture and 97a big spits. I’m only a few sessions in on the new one, haven’t been able to skate as much as I’d like lately. I was actually having a bit of bushing madness the other day because these felt too soft. Too many threads when I tightened my back track cause the nut was so ground down from smiths. Replaced them and the washers which were really dented in, which seemed to help a bit. If anything I think they get looser? Was thinking about trying the 97 red ones, but turquoise works so well with this deck It is super hot where I live atm though. When I was living in Germany the thunder bushings definitely froze though, they seem super temperature sensitive.

that's hott

I ordered the Mike York and was pleasantly surprised it was south central. Not sure about the rest of the boards but I would assume they only used one woodshop.

Ayeeee, Brad... Sweet one. I'm hearing its not quite symmetrical though?

[Brad Breath]

I just did a quick measurement with the Stanley Powerlock II and it seems pretty symmetrical to me.


Edit:  now that I look at it more, the tail does seem fuller, as mentioned by homie in another thread.

I got caught slippin while perusing this thread buzzed and pulled the trigger on the Nymph Egg.
Shape lookin real nice, but we’ll see; I’ve been burned buying shaped boards online before.
Also, how can I tell wood shop once I receive so that I can report back?

Edit: How does South Central mark their boards?
Just a sticker or…?

[144p]

South central decks have a very sharp edge on the nose and tail only. Also a small dent on the back bolts is another tell tale.

Curiosity

Small dent on the back bolts? Deformity in the press or some sort of signature? I’ve never noticed this

[Frank and Fred]

This one is intriguing. I only tend to ride eggs, footballs for shapes these days but I like the look of this. Not sure I'd pay $150 though.

Would be great if the tail wasn’t 6.4 so ridiculously short for a board that size
