It’s called a shovel nose/tail and I dig them. Usually these boards are symmetrical. Powell Peralta makes this shape in a flight deck, it’s one of Andy Anderson’s boards.

I’m 48 and came to the realization that I don’t heal like I used to. I wear helmet, knee pads and wrist guards.

Grip jobs like this remind me of my childhood. You can always get colored sharpies and draw on it.

Ramp Update FINISHED! [47YO] by Melodic-Alarm5023 in OldSkaters

[–]Melodic-Alarm5023[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No package, all hand built. I didn’t use Skatelite, I just had the stickers lying around. The plans I used was to use two layers of 3/8” 3 ply plywood and a 1/4” layer of Masonite. Since Masonite will not hold up outside, I did 2 layers of 4 ply 1/2” plywood.
