For me. I change decks when my performance begins to get limited. It actually has more to do with the grip wearing out and the nose and tail starting to razor tail. I can still skate well on it just not my best.

I stood on an 8.5 Howard recently and liked the shape but didn’t set it up cause of crail’s reputation for suspect wood. It’s a real lesson to skate companies to keep product quality a priority. It takes a long time to shake off the stigma of using shitty wood.

Instead of popping, you just "whip". Push down the front foot a little and use the upward momentum when lifting it, in combination with an initial slap on the tail (nose the other way round). Similar to flip tricks using a carpetboard (with griptape and shoes). screw off your trucks or take an old deck and try the usual flips until you have adjusted to the new ultra-lowness :) You'd be surprised how well this translates to flips off lipslides and stalls.

This is just my personal opinion, but my favorite woodshops are Chapman and PS Stix. They're by far the best wood and have excellent shapes that I enjoy and am familiar with. Back in 2010-ish, I used to ride a bunch of Dwindle boards because I had a skate buddy that was on flow for one of their companies, and I broke more boards in two years than I had in the previous 15. I've never broken an Alien, Habitat, Zoo York or 5-Boro board (back when chapman was making 5-boro shapes when I lived in New England in the early-mid 2000's). Even if I didn't break the Dwindle board, it got stupidly soggy after a couple weeks of skating the local plaza for a couple hours every night after work, as if I left it out in the rain every night and didn't bring it back inside my apartment and leave it in my painting studio room. I got a Santa Cruz board for free back in 2016, and it was also very good quality. I didn't love the shape, but it was poppy and solid well after a month of everyday skating. It just felt kinda tank-ish and heavy, but it was way bigger than the

Crazy seeing all the boards are over 8” now. Should be interesting. Even my old team(most still skate) vouch for the bigger boards, but in 2006 they wouldn’t be caught dead on over 8”s lol.

I was really into skating back in early 2000's and then just stopped as soon as I started working and finding other hobbies. A few years ago we had a new skatepark built just down the street and we had some pros from back in the day demo the park. Watching these guys skate sparked my interest in skateboarding again and now I have a couple of decks I've been riding.

My friend had 1 and I've never seen a worse board.. It didn't snap (if he was better it probably would have) but it had tons of pressure cracks, instantly lost its concave and pop, had horrible razor tail (to the point he literally wore the nose and tail completely down) oh, and it did get chips on them and the plys separated too! My god a Walmart board would have been better than that crap. That was his first pro board.. A first board should be good for a long time.. My first pro board lasted 7 months until i gave up on it due to it finally losing its deep concave (was an element shape 3) best board I've ever had.. Let's hope they FINALLY made these better. I remember 1 person on their team said they used 1 deck a day!

Sounds like they've finally took it upon themselves to match the level of quality in their product with the popularity of the brand.

If you haven't already, try Madrid decks. They're made in Huntington Beach, CA.

Girl and Chocolate are two out of a handful of brands that do 8.25 with a 14 wb. I think Zero has them and Darkstar and maybe Toy Machine. Most 8.25's are 14.25 and up. The Indy's on the short WB are extra poppy.

I'm not going to be switching trucks for a while. I have found my happy place and just need to roll with it for a while. It gets frustrating changing setups all the time.

Work out on your core . If you start strengthening your core your psoas will also begin to feel better

Hey Ben, That´s my favorite shape ever. Like You, I learned many tricks skating that shape so I always go back to it. I am curious to what size indy´s you put there? I always feel the thunder´s give it a more dynamic and tech feel.

139's. I agree the Thunders were more tech but the indys put it in my Goldilocks zone. I skated it better on indys. More pop and nicer feeling tricks.

I will try a Girl deck for the first time in the days that coming up. I bought a ''Carroll Coco Deck'', shape: G016, width: 8.375'' length: 31.75 with a wheelbase: 14.25''. Also this will be something like a little transition because I skate 8.25'' or 8.28 (my currently deck is an Antihero 8.28'' length: 31.75 with a wheelbase: 14.12'', I think this is one of the rare sizes that some companies only do) anyway, I the Antihero is really comfortable for all basic flatground tricks..not really for manuals or big ramps. I'm curious to see how this deck will get me! And yea, I'm not a big fan of big wheelbases..I like my feet to be closer. Nice video like always! Greetings from Italy and our pasta and lasagna!
