Skate Better- Almost Deck Review

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Super spot on honest review. I have skated the Almost Impact light decks and I love them. Mellow concave or medium concave with nice tails and noses. Didn’t have an issue with the narrower tail.

[@Skatebetter]

Def gotta try the impact decks at some point. Thanks for the info g!

Nice park...where?

[@RikRiorik]

Dwindle boards still rocking. The 8.5” shape is probably my favourite deck so far. Going to try an 8.38” at some point. I have a 8.38” Darkstar Celtic Gold Foil deck in my collection I’ll give a go at some point but I’m pretty sure it’s got a lot more concave.

[@Skatebetter]

I agree- i liked the 8.5 more than the 8.38. Gold foil sounds sick- sometimes that extra concave can be tricky for sure.

[@RikRiorik]

@@Skatebetter yeah it’s a beaut. I loved the regular Celtic series they had and rode one of the 8” ones. Still have an 8.25” from that series too that I haven’t ridden either. That 8” board was what got me into the whole R7 Dwindle deck thing.

I have an 8.5 Almost deck and it seems like it was more like your 8.5 enjoi in terms of shape with a fuller nose and tail

[@Skatebetter]

Good to know! Appreciate these comments brotha. 👌🏻

Babe wake up there’s a new Skate Better deck review 😎

[@kirillkolesnikov566]

Just curious if you measured the width and it was 8.38? I have a Yuri Faccini 8.38 and it measures exactly 8.25 in width.

I did not my good man, but i will when i get back from a trip I’m on and report status

Great review! I’m curious to know, what trucks did you skate the Almost board with? What about the Enjoi? I ask because I recently switched from Indy Standards to Thunder Teams and I found that my board control and confidence grew when skating a slightly shorter truck (Thunders) compared to the relatively taller Indy’s.

[@Skatebetter]

Thanks brotha- I skated the Enjoi with Thunder 149’s- the Almost I started with Thunders and then switched to try Ventures (for the first time). I’ll be going back to Thunders- I miss the responsiveness and snappiness of the lower truck. The Thunders also have a smaller wheelbase than the Ventures which I miss for kickflips.

[@RavenAndrew1]

because it stretched out your wheelbase
