My current setup

[@sk8_n_destroy03]

Bro I went sober, started working out and eating good because of you! Having drank alcohol since new years! I love it man I appreciate you a lot! Keep spreading the seed my dude.

[@tuplahaukat]

14" wheelbase for the win!

[@jasonb993]

The best wheelbase

[@computermun]

14 is fun, but too scary for me sometimes. Great for flippies tho

[@sheflavia1999]

the best

[@rzemonster]

I just check online and it’s 8.25” 14.25” WB. I don’t mind the 14.25” WB, I wish there’s an 8.5” for a taller bigger guy like me just like your old Neen Slayer 8.5” Twin Nose. That board is phenomenal and I wish I could still get it again.

[@HubbaBubbaBub]

[@andinarcadiai]

Deathwish needs to put that custom shape in their regular line!!

[@jorgegonzalezhernandez6815]

Definitely, I think it's one of the best setups out there. A wide deck but with a short wheelbase makes it very maneuverable, just like an 8.25. Right now, I'm skating with Ace 66 trucks (9 inches) and an 8.5-inch board, but I always look for a short wheelbase, which is mainly found in Baker or Deathwish boards.

[@LeonPaxton]

He’s back 🥳

[@game-OJACK]

I'm short too. started drilling smaller wheelbases in old boards and LOVED IT! felt perfect like the 7.5 & 7.75s I used to skate... so now I do it to new decks. I look for 8 inch boards with 14.25 or 14.38 WB and drill'm to about 13 5/8 or 13 1/2

[@ianhairbear]

i agree with the classic trucks method. i do that but with my independent trucks. keeping a nice denseness to the board overall

[@Raphsk8]

Yooooooo you posted G! Stoked !

[@jerjerss]

love your content. your video with vice about healthy eating and exercising was inspirational.

[@juancorrea2625]

Wheel base is very important.. 14 is too small for me 15 and i can even Ollie it 😵‍💫 .. 14.5 is my sweet spot

[@mikethomson6546]

I love mellow concave and kicks. I definitealy, will keep an eye out for your twin shape pro model.

They should release that shape since Deathwish sells Jamie Foy’s custom shape

[@neenwilliams]

Definitely something I’ll talk with them about

[@SkateboardEnjoyer]

Hell yeah Neen, this is so good ! That graph is killer, something with that wheelbase and the wider 149's over 148's with the wider wheels gotta feel so playful and responsive but stable too. Love it ! I went down all the way to 13.5 wheelbase on a 7.6 moonshine freestyle deck which has been so fun for me with shorter legs haha ! I think for my street stuff for the future I'm going to look for and try decks like yours and Tom's with that shorter wheelbase with something wider or still at 8.25. Same as you, always fun trying different things you never know you could find something that really works well that you didn't think about. Stay rad and get it out there !

[@colemandepretis4199]

Neen is back! Hope life’s been good!

[@lemuratack]

Unfortunately after learning about wheelbase I had to steer away from bakerboys boards that I always loved. Stoked to have this option. Looks like you can get the shape just in a different graphic, it’s a Kirby graphic.❤ thank you Neen!!!

[@mangapoodle]

thnx for upload! your foam roll video is one of may faves and got me all psyched on foam rollers lol. I like a smaller setup as i tend to try and do more tech stuff and never really grew out of the early 2000's set ups. the square wheels for me were awesom for slappys but just grip to hard and i feel like i cant pivot and slide my wheels as much

[@stanktuss3151]

Gang is back right when imma start skating again 👏

[@mikethomson6546]

Wider boards with narrower wheel bases is the future. I am on an 8.5" with a 14" WB. I feel like a smaller wheel base really makes wider boards much more accessable to every skater.

[@perrytomczyk]

sick whip.

[@NikolasH937]

I’m an old guy that’s new to skating. Bought a variety of sizes and shapes, and trucks, and wheels trying to figure out what’s right for me. At 6’3” and pushing 300 I’m learning that wide and stable is what I’m gravitating toward. About to put together an 8.5 Crob twin tail on Slappy’s. Haven’t landed on the perfect wheel yet.

8.125 deck with a 14 inch wheelbase. just switched from venture lo to thunders which are about the same height for the 8 inch trucks.

[@trollerbladdering]

I really wish that more companies would sell 8.47-8.5 with a 14" wheelbase. This is my preferred shape, and preferably just under 32" in length. Like 31.625-31.875. It just feels perfect. I'm only a little bit taller than you. I'm 5'9" but I have a 28" inseam. I'm all torso with short little legs. The shorter wheelbase works great for people with smaller legs period, regardless of overall height.

[@Zahvalan5173]

I skate an 8 inch amazon deck ( from a local shop in Washington state; logo says Skateboard Collective), its blank. I have the Kyle Walker Thunder 149 Hollows. Spitfire formula 4 52mm. and bone swiss bearings.

[@mrhogei]

those are the OG original thunder trucks, those trucks are hella good been around for at least 20+ years esp those dark blue bushings are great, i'm using thunder titaniums 148 atm i'm loving them too, i feel like the bigger the wheel you should make your trucks hella lighter for a trade off but that's just personal preference

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

You are truly Legendary Neen Williams. All around jack of all trades but master of many 💯❤️‍🔥🛹

[@MattZakszewski]

I kinda understand your love for no concave because otherwise you might end up double flipping your heels like I tend to do.

[@grantman552]

I skate a 9 with a 15" wheelbase. I'm taller so the width allows me to skate street easier. I like square wheels 97du with popped shields on my bearings. pepper grip and 7/8 phillips. much love

[@galvanizedgnome]

Pepper galaxy grip is sick

[@grantman552]

@@galvanizedgnome hell yea it is I also like how their grip is wider, I can get down with some shake junt too tho

[@rosscauvel8481]

Interesting to hear about smaller wheel base. I tried it once, but wasnt sure if I like it. I ride street and bowl (mostly at Blue Gates!). Def been enjoying some wider boards. 8.75 and up feel comfy. Although I have an 8.5 street setup too. Low kick is great for bowl riding too because I can rock bigger wheels and not lose, my ollie. Bringing your wheelbase in should have also affected the nose/tail kick. That would make it less steep as well, but more consistent. Come skate the local if you the itch!!!

[@decadentswine8894]

I mostly skate 9 x around 33 pop shape, which usually has about a 15” wheel base. I use a chems wheelbase mod tool to drill it back to around 14.25”, usually at the tail. I like the tail to end up around 7.25”. I keep the nose factory length, so it doesn’t strike the ground if I dip out of a high curb. I’m really liking 60mm wheels right now, with 9.35 axle Ace classics. I haven’t landed any flip tricks in a long time, but I love the comfort and stability.

I recently went up in wheelbase to 14.75 and length to 32.6. I don’t feel as cramped now and have some room for my legs to stretch.

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

Do you ever skate a second set up? Something blown up in size? You should try it. Like a 8.7 to 8.9 with your dimensions keep the short wheelbase like 14 or 13.75 and keep the length similar to your current set up. Skate some bigger 8.75 151s Thunders, and some 56mm or 58mm wheels. I noticed most pros don’t experiment with set ups. I suggested some set up changes for Tom ASTA and he tried it and works for him. I skate like 10 sizes lol from 8.0 to 10 inches Heroin Makes some sick Boards maybe try a Heroin deck with good dimensions like I mentioned. Baker boys I’m sure will screen Deathwish graphic on. Heroin Deck for you. You will love it, if you try it. The trick is the wheelbase and the length. Keep those similar to what you currently ride and when you go up in width and truck size and wheel size it translates.

[@Ken120Hz]

Yooo neen whats good homie! This is ken i met you at lot 11 down in miami…. That graphic is legendary really dope. And the wheelbase theory you explained is true for sure, the smaller the wheelbase the easier the board is to shuv around and flip and rotate, and smaller wheelbase suited best for shorter people. Thats a super custom shape tho 8.47 with the shrunken 14 inch wheelbase definitely can see why you love it. Hope you been good bro come visit miami again soon

[@SomeonesUncleTim]

I just got back from San Diego I’m from Florida I went to McGill skate shop and got a 8.3 with a 14 inch wheelbase was looking for a small wheelbase and I’m getting used to it now but feels very tight and not used to the boards size feels smaller but definitely more control on the board easier to spin too I like it just wish it was maybe a lil longer in between 14 inch and 14.25

[@grandmarquee9434]

Dope vid and congrats on being a Texas native. LOVE from setx.I always wanted to go up in board size but just can’t.I ride a 8 wheel base normally 13.5 i like flat and short .. 147 ⚡️ and 51mm wheels for about 15 years.Im also 6.1 so idk if anything else would work for me i feel off when i try.

please make a run of these for the other short kings

[@garethbright5674]

Stolked your back! Love the idea of a shorter wheel base. I’m skating twin tails at the moment and I feel like if they made a twin nose with a 14 in wheel base that would be like the best board ever. Loved your twin noses, why did you give up on them?

[@neenwilliams]

That would be rad! I stopped skating them a while ago, started skating twin tails, but was having popping issues, so I switched back to a nose and tail. Now everything is back to normal

[@zacharyrobison383]

Dude I’m 5’7 5’8. And I can tell I need a shorter wheelbase but no one makes em. Advice on making my own holes for my trucks? Or is there a board company that makes custom wheelbase sizes? I can tell my 8.0 board is wide enough but I’m not getting the pop and speed of flip tricks. It’s definitely inhibiting my okaying and trick ability. Any help from anyone or advice would help me a lot! Thanks for posting Neen!! 🔥🔥 need some more cooking videos too bro your content is ⛽️⛽️⛽️

[@roundrobinrecordings]

So I have recently been going down the Wheelbase rabithole, I am 5foot4. and have started trying out a 14 inch WB.. the thing is I skate independent trucks which also shorten your wheel base compared to thunders that lengthen the wb a bit... now sometimes the deck feels a bit too short. I am curious to know if anyone else here is skating a 14"WB with Indys and how you are finding it .

I’m actually making my own shape. But twin tail or twin nose, anything from deathwish, real, or primitive. 149 titanium thunders, spitfire wheels conical full, lock in full or radial full from 55 to 60 mm, skf bearings, whatever grip and whatever 7/8 Allen bolts

[@stonedan0]

Come back! And bring the twin nose with you!

[@Love4boost]

Hopefully this isn’t an uncool thing to say. Maybe my undying support giving Baker/Deathwish a bunch of my money over the past 20 years gives me some brownie points here. But if you can’t buy that shape on the market and you’re looking to try it. I think the Anti-Hero/Real Easy Rider 8.5 is about as close as you can get with it being the same woodshop. The nose and tail might be more blunt but the dimensions and concave might be close enough if you’re curious. Also I skate a 8.25, 32 long, 14.25 wb, 6 3/4 nose and tail, on Thunder 149 hollow lights, 54mm F4 93A radials, China Reds, Mob grip, Thunder 1/8 Allen.
