ive been thinking about trying a popsicle board for my next board to see if im missing out on anything. Ive been loving my winkowski VX deck. Cruz missile 2 concave is such a fun feeling and you can never beat a big ol fish tail that your entire foot fits on!

Yeah dude, I’m definitely gonna hop back on the Cruz Missile concave again soon!

nice board!! gotta agree with ya on riding a shaped-deck for bigger transition... whenever I ride my popsicle in a pool, I find myself missing the wider tail one or two (inappropriate) times, often avoiding disaster by somehow keeping a toe on

That JM Duran board on your rack is my go -to board out of my Powell Collection. Love that board , rolls with 56mm Dragons.

Hi john Brendan here from NZ again i had a 8.5 it was too narrow so i went to an 8.75 popsicle and it made all the difference for me. I had been riding a andy howell reissue up to those last two decks it was 9.75 which i found on the vert was just too big. I find the 8.75 gave me the same board control i preferred but just with a little less weight The trucks i ride are 159 indy which help with stability too. And bones p5 84b hawk wheels 60mm I think this is a good set up for me however in a mini i would prefer a spitfire 99a maybe 56mm so reverts are easier as the bones are pritty grippy on concrete. Great video as usual, glad to see your still a t it. 🔥🔥💯💯🛹🛹👊

Nice! Yeah I recon the 8.75 could be the ticket ?!!

I've tried the odd shaped deck, but I keep coming back to pops. I seem to have settled at 8.125, which is about as wide as I'd go if I still want to be able to ollie with any degree of control. I grew up on 7.75s though so all this '8.5 is small' palaver fills me with dread and makes me query people's foot size! Little bit of controversy for you: I'm running 8.125 on 149s and have genuinely found my Goldilocks zone 🤣🤔🤙

Great input, yeah, I’ve got size 11 feet, and I’m 6’3” so I guess it’s all relative to a certain extent?

@@JonBishopSkate Ok, that definitely makes sense for you then..! It's when I see small people on set-ups way too big for them that I wonder, but I guess if they're having fun, fair enough..! I'm 5'9 with size 8 feet, so I've no need for behemoth planks 😮 I do enjoy the stability of the 149s even if they're technically 'too big' for 8 and an eighth 🤗

Makes me irrationnally want a new board when I really dont need one

Madness boards are lovely Nice concave, stiff glue up

love the enthusiasm, but as someone who doesn't understand the kit too much this vid didn't make much sense... for example... what is a shaped deck - whats the point? why do you need to know front vs back on popsicle... is it truck set up? if so, how are front/back different etc

@JonBishopSkate

Hey dude, the shaped deck has more of a surfboard influence, and was the original idea before the popsicle, so more geared up to going one way in one stance. The popsicle generally has a larger nose so still has a front and back. The trucks can be setup any way you like? I prefer them to feel the same, but some prefer a looser front or back truck. It’s all personal preference?

@@JonBishopSkate ah right, cheers. I'll have to look at my deck more closely, I thought it was the same both ends but maybe not
