Also, fuck Slap for making me nerd out on all this stuff. It used to be really easy for me to buy decks. Had to go to three bloody shops to find a shape I liked!

[close]

right? I've been eyeing up boards for nearly a month now but can't pull the trigger because I'm worried about 1/4 inch here and there. Good call on the wknd though, I'm all about square noses too so them and quasi are defs on on my list (amongst like 6 other boards that I've scrawled down in some mad scientist comparison chart in my diary)

***
are Quasi 8.5's really only 8.25's liked was discussed on here a while back?

[close]

Don't know about the 8.5s but the Quasi 8.25 I had a while back definitely skated and felt like an 8.

[close]

PS 8.5s taper so they skate a little more like an 8.38

Rightio, I've had like 20 of the shorter Quasi 8.5 shape (x 32.125) in a row. 8.5 across the front truck and 8.25 across the back truck. I also just got a WKND 8.5 that was identical, taper and all. I've also had one Pizza (against my better judgment) with the same shape. All PS Stix

Really? I've had a Hockey 8.5 and a WKND 8.5, they were identical in shape and definitely tapered.

[ungzilla]

It sounds like we agree, and I can add Hockey to the list of boards I'm able to buy if I can't find the usual shit. Hockey is PS Stix too IIRC.

[shit_for_brains]

I've seen people saying they switched to bbs/gen but every FA/Hockey board I've had, including the ones that just came in the other day, have been PS.

[venture5.8]

watch out for some of the 8.5 quasis though. I have seen some that are 8.5 and 33 in long and that makes zero sense to me

jj specifications?

Damn, those are the ones I like. I guess they should be more clear about the dimensions because the feel of the two different 8.5s is so different.

AWS Yaje 8.25 with slip-on pros to match.

Quasi measures all their shit 1/8" over. I had an 8.62 from them that I measured dead on as an 8.5

Christmas complete


Black Label 8.75
Independent 159s
Swiss Labyrinths the older ones, not the L2.
Bones Miller 58mm spfs. The ones with the cat graphic. Mostly I bought these because of the cat.
Jessup
Indy risers, hardware

[Madam, I'm Adam]

This is pretty random - a Big Mess board that rips off the Mike Carroll Plan B graphic. Also Indys and Neil Blender OJs.

I only have two boards, a larger one for bigger transition/cruising and standard. After about seven years, I switched up the large cruiser to this. I bought this board intending for it to be on the wall, but even though I like Bloom County it's not the Carroll OG so I decided to skate it.

It's seriously a football shape, like 9.75 in the middle and 8 something at the nose and tail. Also I'm curious to see how people react to the graphic.

That thing is beautiful. Can you take a photo from the top? I wanna see that shape

10-year-old griptape job aside, that's it. Since the grip is fucked on the edges it looks misshapen but it's not. Definitely not used to this shape.

[augustmoon]

lol, do you cut your griptape with a dull butter knife?

shape looks sick.  digging the football shapes lately.

[shit_for_brains]

I can't look at those edges

[Hercules Rockefeller]

if i ever meet someone with a gripjob like this, i`m gonna slap him/her.

[shit_for_brains]

I've been thinking about it all morning. I've set up new boards because my grip started looking like that after half hearted attempts at flipping into things. This is a serious trigger for me. Reported.

[straight]

next time, just fold the grip over the edges
