New Skateboard Setup 8.25in (Quasi)

[@ideliver7289]

My life changed when I started riding 14 inch wheelbase , started with G52 chocolate and now I’m on the easy rider real deck. That smaller wheelbase makes the deck extremely responsive and I definitely skate better on it

[@spencernuzzi]

@@ideliver7289 ay stoked to hear! It really makes a difference 🙌🛹💯

I'm on a G026 from chocolate 14'' wheel base is the truth !

got a 14 inch wheel base deck for the first time (8.25 Hammers USA) and it’s literally a game changer, tre flips come around so easily and i rarely miss a pop. definitely going to be sticking with this size for a bit

The Big Balls are noticeably smoother than Reds and both Bronson G2/G3s in my experience. I've switched to them as the default bearings I get now and definitely worth the extra $5-10. Also, the light blue looks good on basically all setups/wheels.

[@schuey5537]

Yoo lol picked out the exact same one yesterday but with the namaste graphic. Went down from an 8.375 flip which had a bit too much concave, the quasi is so comfortable and im a size 12 shoe. had the same impression about the tail, definitely makes the pop feel incredibly stable compared to a pointy round one. And the nose im diggin too. 56mm sf conicals Slappy st1 inverted 8.25 Team big balls!

[@ShadowtheHedgehog-iq3ld]

Primitive 8.5 deck. It has an almost egg like tapered tail and a somewhat square shovel nose. I have Gullwing trucks I think. They kinda suck but they’re all I had when I set the board up. Some kind of 52mm 99a wheels. Something generic, same case as the trucks. Bearings are bones big balls.

I'm riding a 8.0 inches chocolate board but it is too small for me, I think 8.25 inches deck is going to be my final size. Would you recommend me change to a 8.125size deck first or straight to the 8.25. what do you think Spencer?
