Analyzing Deedz Board Shape (DIdrik Galasso)

[@DavidBoardstein]

You shoud try this on ACE Trucks for a real Deedz setup experience .

[@transferz]

Ohh aces on enjoi go great. Aces kill!!

[@drewilson2520]

Read my mind 🤔

[@kayleebeth6907]

Best bushings ever

[@abrahamandriod3133]

Fr he not deedz without the ace trucks

[@NathanB417]

That would make the board feel quite a bit lighter and shorter too

[@ceezee999]

Bro this shape has genuinely made me feel like I can skate better, maybe it’s a whole mental thing but staring down at such a cool shape boosts confidence. I do feel that this shape makes me flick better as I learned kickflip nose manny’s and nose manny kickflip out with this board !

[@AUBlifestyle]

currently riding this board too. Deedz is mad inspirational! Great informational Local Joe! Stay safe.

[@Andrew.yamoah]

How is it

[@jeffli480]

Very courageous to try something so drastically different, I would definitely be scared of losing all my already not so consistent tricks!

[@localjoe]

Haha I think I am losing them lol

[@Shredxcam22]

Had no idea he had a unique shape. I got my mold printed so hopefully soon I'll have my own custom twin tail.

[@FabianBarajas]

i get the outfit, man. Just trying to channel your inner deedz for this video. "The Wish app version" comment got me. LOL

[@transferz]

Keep skating it homie!! Different set-ups are fun and they open your mind

[@leejordan5937]

I've had two of those boards the one you have, and the weekend at Louie's graphics shape of that board. The nose is super good for nolie tricks, in my opinion. I did remeasure them they were both 8 and 3/8 though that's weird that yours came in at 9:00. Football eggs are the only things I skate from now on.

[@brucebruno842]

If you don't think it's stupid then it isn't! You dressed up, and put in the extra effort for your channel. I think it's cool as shit! Keep up doing what you're doing, and thanks for your content. I've learned so much from it, and that's your aim, so thanks again. I hope to see more! My first "two-tail"; which is what they called the first decks with a nose and tail, was a New School - Tom Boyle, and it was shaped just like this deck. Unfortunately it was about an 8.5 or 9 in the middle and I was 10 years old, so I can't give you an accurate assessment of the deck. It also had 39mm wheels on it too. That's a lot of board to be throwing and flicking around for a 80 lb.10 year old, the wheels were basically just urethane bearing covers being that small. It was my first "Christmas Complete", and I did learn how to do (frontside/backside) shuvits, kickflips, mannuals, and 180s on it even though it was that wide.

[@ais4ashlie]

Some of Geoff Rowley's board company, Free Dome, have the torpedo shape to them, it's super weird going back to a popsicle after skating them though, legit feels like the nose is huge.

[@Skatebetter]

Do you have any trick tips for pole jams? Looks simple enough and there’s one at my local but I’m too scared to try it and not sure where I’m supposed to lock in. 🧐

[@localjoe]

Is out of a bank or from flat?

[@Skatebetter]

@@localjoe it’s on a bank- I’ve seen people approach it from either the top flat and ride into the bank or from the bank and level out on flat (like your clips). 🙏🏻

[@lolitsmatt29]

Bro this shape is insane‼️🔥🔥

[@joe_sabella]

If you are going on a weird board setup kick, it would be interesting to see you try Andy Anderson's board. That thing is wild. I think it comes in a smaller size too so its not as gnarly as his.

[@localjoe]

Yeah they are always sold out tho

[@piotrszwajgier2300]

check out Franky Villani's model, also an eggshape

[@collodat]

Super sick video

[@DMoney505]

So basically it’s the classic football shape from the 90’s. They were 9”+ in the middle and tapered down at the nose and tail, But back then no rails and 38-40mm wheels 😆

[@localjoe]

I cant tell if it's symmetrical but it sure looks like it

[@DMoney505]

@@localjoe Whats the wheelbase? 14” is my sweet spot, I won’t skate anything that’s wider than 14. Width doesn’t make as much of a difference as the wheelbase does!

[@dns_ptrv]

Cool. Maybe I missed it in the video, but was this setup noticeably heavier? Maybe you were not able to do some usual flip tricks or so. I remember trying an 8.5 after skating 8.125 and was completely unable to do treflips, and as soon as I moved back to 8.3 it felt just right. Also it really interesting if deck rails help on smiths/feebles (on ledges also). Keep on the good work!

[@gordinski1928]

You should Check out the carl aikens deck

[@localjoe]

is it unique in some way?

@@localjoe idk hes just may favorite skater lol

[@flavalav6757]

Stop hating on yourself homie, that’s just goofin round dressin like your favorite skater or somebody who inspires you. I appreciate you makin this video I’ve been eying up the deedz shape I think ima buy one

[@kostakakoudakis4161]

The scoop is so much better than a normal shaped board i’ve been skating this shape for around 2 years and tre flips and decent tre shuv, work so much better for me. before i had to do way more effort to get tre flips now they’re one of my favs also nollie flips are so much nicer for some reason. Def worth trying out if you ask me. Keep up the good vids.

[@maxochavez5854]

I’m gonna make my first video me setting up a Felipe set up and dressing like him 😂 love the videos bro! Remember Logan my homie from Arizona ? He skates those decks

[@localjoe]

Yeah I remember that!

[@Mathfuw]

I’ve been looking for a video on this board sick!

[@localjoe]

Hope you liked it!

[@ryanclark4689]

Reminds me of an old birdhouse board my buddy had in like 2002

[@ramennpapi]

i have the same kickflip problem as you i’m always flicking off the side instead of off the nose but something in me just won’t let me flick off the nose

[@CarterOfAllTrades]

Which skatepark is this?

[@bent52telecaster]

I dig the setup

[@localjoe]

Thanks man!

[@brucebruno842]

Put double-sided adhesive tap, the foam kind, on under your rails before screwing them in, and they'll never rattle. You won't lose screws from the rattling; which causes them to slowly loosen.

[@RegularFootisChris]

Awesome Board set up!!💯

[@raymondcoonts5499]

Would thunder 147 fit on this board or would need to get bigger trucks

[@Bigpantz]

That would be perfect in my opinion , some might say 148 but I like small trucks

[@collectedforyou6744]

Dude love your videos! They are getting better each time. How much weight have you lost the last year? Is it thanks to skateboarding? You are a real inspiration! 🔥

[@localjoe]

I was 210 now I'm 185 but I still want to get down to 165 so long way to go. And no it's due to eating better. I stress eat so i can outeat the skateboarding any time it's mainly just focusing on eating healthy foods that aren't calorie dense.

[@collectedforyou6744]

Thanks a lot for your answer. You will get there soon 👌🏼 I’m 214 now so just starting but recently just started so. Actually bought a Real Ishod twin tail(8.5) because of your videos and really loving it. Keep up the good work and I will follow your progress 🔥

[@matthewbrandon267]

What's the wheel base on that board 14? 🤔 I know smaller wheel bases are supposed to be way better for control

[@localjoe]

I'm not sure I should measure it

[@matthewbrandon267]

I have been hearing a 14 inche Wbase is the jam. That's what I might try next. Let me know if it is, that board looks dope

[@lordparkyfpv1406]

@@matthewbrandon267 depends on your leg length and shoulder width..... Find what suits you man

[@RideBonesSwiss]

rails are amazing for boardslides, so stable.

[@Pseudosurfer]

isn't this similar to Caples' skate mental decks?

[@GVilleAnarcho]

Awww shit, I love deedz, i would love to buy one of his boards, but i do the exact opposite of tapered nose and tail. Right now im on a Louie FA and I love the shovel nose. If anyone has any recommendations for something similar but a bit different??? lol. Also, you got rails on, go do some fun slappys and skate sketchy ledges!!

[@brodyivey3207]

what truck size are u using bc i have 8.25 truck will they work since it tapers

[@Bigpantz]

I think he’s got 8.5” axel trucks on there which would be perfect because the deck is 8.375 🎉❤ perfect to lock in on transition or street

[@J0_star]

Another banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@localjoe]

Thanks Mann!!

[@jeremybeal23]

Another sick vid man. You’ve inspired me to start a KZbin skate channel. I gave you a shoutout in my video that I just uploaded 👊 Cheers man

[@localjoe]

I'll check it out!

[@bennettwiley3625]

I’ve been curious about this shape for a while. Sweet to see you’re trying it out! I have a few remarks/questions. Everything that I’ve seen said it’s actually a shorter deck 31.6 with a shorter wheelbase 14.2. I also thought at the widest it’s 8.375 and is tapered and rides more like an 8.25 which would explain why deedz rides AF1-44’s (8.25 axle) all that is quite different from what you said with it being longer and 9.0 at the widest point. Just curious to what the exact specs are🤙🏼

[@chentz7744]

Just try it yourself, I have one and I love it. But it’s def not for everyone obviously.

[@localjoe]

I'll have to actually measure it

[@hardrockwitch]

i recently bought one of these boards online and it is definitely smaller than described here. i actually returned to this vid to double check, and mine had the same "8.375" sticker as the one shown here. at the widest point this deck is MAYBE 8.5, and if that's the size you normally ride (like me) it's going to feel small. i do think this tail is going to be good for scoop tricks though once im used to it.

[@dev3rror]

shape looks so sick

[@crimnvL]

seems like the wheel base is longer than ur used to

[@karelenhenkie666]

Ho estly i wish deck rails were cool back in the day( started in the ninetees) because i just put some on 2 y3ars ago and theyre so good

[@jdreese]

Local Joe just out here kickflipping a boat.

[@siah5523]

Hi notifications gang I told you I'll will be there

[@localjoe]

legend thanks for being early my g

[@edwarddelacruz3923]

It's certainly a unique shape that's fo' sho! I never thought it would be shaped more like that in the center, seems to be an almost ode to the mid 90s before the true Popsicle shape that we all know today became. As for the rails, I myself never really had any noise issues with them, if anything the formula 4s and the bearings I have make the worst sounds! It's like a Stuka siren when I use them.

[@Aridrona]

Early 90s

[@kipchoga3808]

Ace AF1 so good

[@chasebrown7130]

Riding Indy's would offset the longer wheelbase vs thunders making the wheel base longer making you widen your stance over the bolts

[@franciscoramirez9867]

I have a 8.75 deedz shape, it skates like a 8.5 love it. The tail feels like a 8 makes ollies feel easy

[@MitchG96]

Nice review, I found this is my new favorite shape. Strange however that you found it longer than what you're used to, cuz every deck I compare it too is longer than the Deedz shape by like 1/2". Cheers!

[@FirelordRob76]

fun video.

[@kipchoga3808]

I feel like this board give you more pop

[@johncoleman7308]

You’ve called deck rails stupid like 3 times before even trying them.. they are fun, and they unlocked some tricks I would not have been able to do otherwise. Boardslide to feeble and boardslide to hurricane

[@localjoe]

That is because I have a bad attitude haha

[@johncoleman7308]

@@localjoe lol one tip I recommend is using double sided tape (like super glue tape) to stick the rails on before screwing them in. This keeps them from rattling even if the screws mess up over time and it keeps them from moving while you are trying to install. Also you can use a small drill bit to pre drill your holes before screwing them in.

[@kayleebeth6907]

Pure drip

[@localjoe]

Hahaha

[@transferz]

Enjoi boards are dope. Only complaint about dwindle is theh last too long if you like to get decks all the time.

[@aaronwetzel1981]

It's an early 90s football/egg shape. It's all I skate

[@aaronwetzel1981]

Frankie villani skates this shape also but in a 9.125

[@poulsentyler]

I chuckled at the "Wish version of Deedz" but that dude does some fucked up crazy shit on that board 🤯 I'm a big fan of Enjoi but I personally don't like his clothing style, skating is sick though.

[@darkwingduck7212]

Yea I’m sure it’s not the same as Deedz, he rides Ace trucks which make your wheelbase much smaller and thunder trucks give you a much wider wheelbase.

[@SB3.16]

DEEDZ🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻

[@rocknrollanp]

ACE trucks (or Indy) would simulate his full board better my dude.

[@getRatcal]

He doesn't skate with rails anymore.

You think that grip you did looks stupid I think it adds character. Pretty cool to me then again I’m not allat
