Easy Rider 8.25" Twin coming in Fall.
[close]
14 or 14.25? 14.25 would save my life, but I'm gonna get it in any case

the catalog says there is an Ishod twin tail easy rider, with the same graphic in:

8.06 with a 14.38" WB
and 8.25 with a 14.33" WB

but you know DLX. could be a classic typo...

With those 8.25 dims, I wonder if it's the classic 8.25 shape but 'easy' instead of the SE.

I'm not really a fan of heroin skateboards or sharks, but I like that shark graphic for some reason.

Maybe it's all the time I've spent on the jaws pinball machine at the movie theater lately.

I got my first real twin (Opera twin slick 8.25x14), and as soon as it arrived in Turkey, I grabbed it. Although the reviews for this deck here and on YouTube are not very promising, I tried popping it at home and honestly, despite the steepness, it felt quite light due to the crispness of the board or the wheelbase.



Before this, I had bought two Mini Logos and gave them to my carpenter friend to convert them into twins. Despite the concave, this board feels lighter compared to them. The Mini Logo is the one on top in the photo.

I will master the kickflip with this board. Wish me luck.

Yup, I got one sight unseen because of the 14" wheelbase and it being a twin. Had I known the shovel shape of the tails I wouldn't have even bought it. Tried every truck on that thing to try to make it work. I'll stick to a G069 if I want a twin.
