about 9.75 at its widest, tapers to about 9 over the trucks. Been skating an AH beach bummer prior to this, and the shape feels v similar, just a little bit narrower and longer
That’s a big old board. Aces are nice trucks, especially the new AF1s. You’d probably want Ace 66, which have a 9" axle. They do take a bit of getting used to - I found mine really turny at first but now I love them.
The 66s are not the same for the AF1s and the classics. Double check.
Yes indeed. Old 66s are wider, I think
cheers, gonna see how i get on with my 6.1s and some extra washers, never need too much of an excuse to buy new shit though, and wanted to try aces out for a minute
I’ve only just set up a new deck, but my finger slipped while I was nosing around the Skate Cafe site a few minutes ago…
Always need at least one spare!
Fond of the Forest Gump movie, like that. The Warriors decks were cool too.
It’s this kind of encouragement coming from here that helps at times like these.
I’ve still not seen The Warriors…
Deck shape question - are there any other board brands that do the snubby shovel nose 8.5" shape that FA and Hockey have?
Love the shape, but not really feeling the £85 price tag…
Weekend/ WKND or Quasi?
Welcome?
Thanks. I will try a Quasi out
Get it quick they’re going up to £80 soon too
Argh!
I have a Snack thats even more shovelly than Hockey/FA
Going to get a new deck and maybe some wheels and some new bushings. No idea what yet but thinking of going up a bit from my usual 8". Quite excited. I’ll keep everyone posted.
Like the trucks one, I reckon i could call the winner before watching, still some interesting info in there (if accurate)
Currently riding Aces but thinking of going back to Thunders
How’s your Ace experience been? I spent maybe 2014-2019? solely on Thunders, 2019-2021 on Indy’s and then the last year on Venture’s. They’re fucked now, down to the axle and the pivot cup is showing through the baseplate so I figure I’m due a new set and might try Ace.
