Quasi JJ acid-ply 2 - 8.25 x 32.15 x 14.25
Thunder hollow light hi IIs - 148mm / standard Independent bushings / Riptide pivot cups
Bones X-formula 97a V1 53mm
Bones riser pads, can't remember the size
Mini-logo bushings
Jessup grip
Generic hardware

The entire setup is working for me, no big complaints. Flip tricks are consistent, pop is solid, turn is solid. No slide issues; I was a bit concerned about that due to the 97a softness plus thunder baseplate slide issues that have been discussed on slap, but it's all good.

Only thing is that the x-formulas feel a bit too soft on smooth outdoor skatepark ground, but I specifically bought them for slippery indoor skatepark ground and they're doing their job. I haven't had any slipouts or anything like I did with my previous 100as. When it gets warmer and the snow melts next year and we're back outside, I'll switch back to the 100as.

That tail looks absolutely tiny, like way under 6.5"! Is that a common tail on Quasi decks and is it actually as short/stubby as I'm believing it is from this photo?
[close]

Yeah, it's a smaller tail - I measured it and it's about 6 inches in length and 8 inches in width from the starting point of the kick. It could've been whittled down from skating, though. The last Quasi deck I rode was Bobby's debut pro model which I believe was the same size/shape as this one, so maybe it's standard for some of their boards? Not sure haha

Whoa that is gnarly! My eyes werent deceiving me on its length. If it works well, no hate! I'm a longer, more tapered tail kinda guy. I always liked and wanted a Quasi but I think some previous ones I considered had tails like this so it steered me away.

Limo Max Palmer 8.5
Venture cast hollow 5.8
Spit F4 54 mm conical
Bones Swiss
Diamond 7/8 allen

Got to try it for like 45 minutes on Saturday, weather hasn't cooperated since.... coming from a Krooked dreamer shape, this is definitely steeper concave and kicks, but it felt pretty good.
love that graphic. does it scrape off to anything special or just the bottom layer?

Did a few noseslides on my box.  Appears to be wearing away to gold underneath.

Nice. Are they still using Chapman? I think that's who they used to use for boards.

I'm not sure tbh. This one had a "Made in Mexico" sticker and the shape is really similar to some other PS Stix boards I've ridden.

I could be mistaken but I thought one of their first drops had 8".  the newest drop has 8.18" with 14" which im eyeing.

After off-white/ potato brown, orange is the best wheel color.

Fixed it :) . That beauty should not hide behind a link. 14.5" WB on a 31.25" deck sounds crazy though. How does it feel?
