The full clear grip tho, why did you have to do that :'(

[close]

The stain on top was just too nice. It reminded me of a nice, natural guitar stain so I decided not to cover it. Plus, I really hate conventional shit. I like skateboarding because there’s supposed to be no rules.

It looks amazing

My only problem with full clear grip is that makes it look kinda like a Walmart board. But to each it’s own!

I really want one of these decks! How is the concave? ✌️

[Xen]

@Xen sold me onto trying this shape. Looking forward to getting some scratchies on it.

Alien 8.65 X 31.75-32ish ( SW had it listed as 32, but other sites had it at 31.75. When my tired eyes measured it, it was 31.8-31.9).
Venture 5.6 with hard bushings. Might take out the washers.
Satori conicals 54mm
Bones 6 ball and old swiss
Jessup gang.

Might get some new wheels, not sure if I like conicals but like Satoris. Kind of bummed on the length but I will try it out either way.  Last couple boards were 32.25. WB might be a little small for me too

It's easily one of my favorite shapes on a bigger board it's fat, stumpy, bluntish, full and square...it just felt soggy to me (not a dig on the sect, I just prefer nhs/DSM wood).

If you end up digging it and want another, let me know. I took mine apart before any heavy damage was done; shipping cost and it's all yours.

Hell, if he doesn’t grab it eventually shoot me a dm.

That Richard Colman graphic is such a beauty. Did it come with a free print as well?

[Sativa Lung]

If its the same mold as the other UMA decks I've seen then its pretty mellow for a BBS. I'd call it more of a medium for other woodshops, but I think Evan might have used the same mold Element uses which is pretty flat compared to other bbs/gen offerings.

Not to the best of my knowledge, which is a bummer since I love the graphic - almost made me consider doing the double rail to wall hanger route.

Right around 9”, maybe a little wider at the fullest. 55s don’t hot rod too much, but you could for sure get away with some 8.75 or even 8.5 trucks with a wider wheel. 14.38” wheelbase, definitely feels wacky and quick with the Aces, especially coming from riding a long 8.75 prior. Threw a top down photo in the egg thread. Having more fun on this than most shaped boards I’ve ridden.

Treated myself to a new complete for my birthday last week. Finally had the snot wheels come in today and set it all up. Never had clear wheels before and now looking at these pics makes me look like I'm gonna be riding a giant tech deck

Pretty stoked about sizing down

[TheCrimsonShroud]

What size is is, dude?

This eagle was supposed to be an 8.12, but it’s actually an 8.25

[Mbrimson88]

This eagle was supposed to be an 8.12, but it’s actually an 8.25

That is crazy!

I feel like the graphic has changed somewhat too, as I had a million of the 8.12 black eagles and it looks different nowdays to my older ones.

They were 8.12 x 32 with 14.25 wb, so is that the standard 8.25 x 32 with 14.38 or something else?

Not a worry if you are not into measuring all dimensions, but just curious.

I think somehow it's missing the brown layer from the graphic. I'm sure it's a heat transfer but I think something messed up when they were printing them out and used em anyway. Looks kinda sick actually.

Those snots look cool...i was looking forward to get some, but looks like they’re all 101 and 99...would be great if the 51mm conicals were 95’s or 97’s

Shoot, I was thinking the same thing. I’d buy 90-95s in a heartbeat.

 Lovely setup tom. Those shoes look really nice on foot as well. Are they the 3st004?
Happy belated @CrimsonGhost -how do those snots skate? I read on Instagram some folks were reminiscing about the quality of the old Cockroach wheels and that they were such high quality urethane that Fos was trying to get the same person to do the urethane for Heroin wheels and I'm wondering if he was successful?

[manysnakes]

Proper. I borrowed an 8.25 Eagle deck when I was traveling last weekend, and I gotta say that it was maybe the most well-rounded skateboard I've been on in a while. A wholly effective and unpretentious deck. I can see why every random pro on DLX can be seen skating one from time to time.
