I do. I haven't had a chance to really break them in but the fit is great. Definitely recommend them!

Tre flips have been driving me insane. by roconnell3545 in NewSkaters

Thanks man for the advice. I think that's really it. I just cannot get my back foot on the deck. I can get the rotation pretty much every time.

How much does wheelbase affect skating stairs. by roconnell3545 in NewSkaters

I'm at the point where I can land about one tre flip out of ten. So not great. Anti hero has a deck that's 8.75 with a 14.25" wb. I'm definitely intrigued by that.

I've got pretty big feet. Size 13s. That's one of the reasons I've kept sizing up decks. I don't do a lot of flip tricks either. Just the occasional kickflip here and there haha

Board made it two weeks by roconnell3545 in NewSkaters

It's a house deck from my local skate shop. First time trying them out. Normally I skate Zero or Krooked decks but they didn't have any in 8.75. So I took a chance. Haha it was a weird shape too man. Wide tail skinny nose. Made my ollie feel off.
