Been riding this, and working on airs out of the coping on vert. I'm 6'2 and it seems like I find my front foot in front of the bolts unintentionally too often. I redrilled for a 15.25 wb but still feel like a little more lenth is in order.

So here's what I'm looking for: 8.75 to 9", 33, square nose (fashion), 15.5 wheelbase. Only thing is I have no idea about the concave about these boards. I dig the k15 deep concave. rode the black label lucero and wanted a deeper concave.

anyone know what the concave is like on this thing? other suggestions?

6 foot 2? You need a larger board and more wheelbase. I'd suggest Pocket Pistols Skates—larger sizes available, great concave, awesome fucking wood and the best screen jobs in the business.

I have a bunch in stock. Check the Instock PDF at www.speed-dealer.com

whoah, that big huh? Well atleast it's good to know it wasn't all in my head. I felt like I was fighting the board instead of just skating. when i rode the lucero the 15.5 felt like i was on a cadillac, so I'm a little hesitant to go longer than that wb wise, but I like the idea of a bigger board for help with the grabs. I'll check out the pocket pistols.

No feedback on the pool king concave? that shape for whatever dumb reason calls to me.

Well if you like that friggin K15 concave, the HOT ROD FLAMES deck would give you a LOT more room.

True enough.

Thanks for the feedback! I bit the bullet and ordered the stefaun cuz it's long and skinny like me and I dig the shape.

If that doesn't do it for me I'll try the hotrod flames. that board is 9.37, think my 159's will work fine with it?

Then if all those feel too small, there's always this beast!

probably totally in my head but don't I kinda look squished on this thing? or is it just kook body position?

Should be just fine depending on the wheel choice. 169 or 159 are doable.
