- Could this be the hottest board among NHS employees?
@whalebonesworld explains why the 8.6 - 9.0 Snakebite decks with 14.25 wheelbases are great for tricks as well as transition.

Man in the 90’s no one I knew would ride a board wider than 7.75. Crazy how much skateboard setups have changed, but also stayed the same.
And you couldn't ever find trucks wider than 7.5. It's nice how many more options there are these days.
the homies were flipping 10×30 in the 1900s
For real! Kids just don't know what we had back then! A popular spot in Arlington TX was "THE BLUE BLOCK" !! I'm pretty sure theres no youtube footage of it.😥
that's why i started skating again and just ride big shaped decks. if they could do it then, i can do it now!
I do that in the 2000s
1900's☠️ like word war 1?💀
@@bannapeels being a sk8punk in the 1900s was *indeed, *world war
I love when Ron does product info videos. Helps me with my purchasing decisions!
You do realize he only "reviews" brands owned by NHS. These are ads, he repeats what ever script marketing gives him.
@@benitofranklyn4237 why would he review any other board that they don’t own? This is a product show case. Get outta her bozo
I'm now 45 and this video makes me want to get back into skateboarding again. Great content. Cheers from Aotearoa NZ.
Stoked to hear that. Skateboarding is still as fun as ever.
I'm 47. Fun as ever. Also hard as ever to find time and learn all over again.😟
Ron Whaley.. sickass ripper back in the early 90s...
been riding 8.75 - 9 since 2016. won't go back to small boards
Large feet people unite! Big boards are amazing for anyone w shoe size 10 and above. Had the Eric Dressen Rose cross deck (9" 14,25"WB) and loved the feel!
Yes! When I first tried that 9.0 shape I was excited to try all the grinds and slides where my feet (13's) would normally get in the way. Dressen rules!
I am riding the 8.8 and really enjoying the boat shape currently
Me too! Well, the Creature Stump version but it's the same shape. Super fun deck for it' width. Rad!
I'm really stoked for this, i've been drilling closer wheelbases lately on the nose of some of my shaped setups for all of those reasons.
Thank you 🤙🏼
Creature makes some with short wheel bases too
Sounds like an awesome deck.
Reminds me of my 1992/93 Tommy Guerrero Elvis slick, size and shape. 👍👍
Ron doesnt look like he's aged a day.
always enjoyed Ron's product review..
Thank you! Much appreciated. -Ron
Whale??!!....I've got a 11" X 34" Mega Pig with Indy 215's....kick-flippable to boot. ;)
They just feel more comfortable I feel a lot confident when it comes to a trick
I’m saying!
Ppl sleep onnit, Everyone talks shit of my 9" Dressen powerply deck but the second they step on and land a first try kickflip they instatly shut up. It's not good for flip in flip out but maaaaan it's phenomenal for just learning and progressing. I won't ride any other board 159 indy titaniums onnit I'm happy!! You'd be surprised the pop i get on my heel's to haha
I landed my first kickflip on a steve cab 1988 reissue! Its a 9.625x29 board
Congrats! Major skating milestone right there.
Still remember my first. In my folks garage on a Chris Cook Alva, 1987. For anyone reading this, please share yours.
Hello! Will NHS come out with 9" VX decks? I'm torn between the Russell Horseman, the Kimbel Gas can and the 9.0 Stumps.
Hay yo Ron! Shouts out to Dorian and little Willy over at bills jewelry shop sponsored by special effects arcade down the way from the Scott's valley skate works cerca 93 ish ?🤔
Does the 8.6 go with 139 independent trucks
Chocolate has a Raven's 9.0 deck with a 13.75 WB and tapered nose, but I find it still kinda hard to flip. I wonder if this one is different
No, all 9.0 decks flip about the same. This is an ad by NHS, not an actual product review. Also 13.75 seems kinda short, if you want to comfortably cruise around.
@@benitofranklyn4237 nah Chocolate purposely gave that board shorter wheelbase, so even though it is wide, it feels lighter to pop and scoop due to less leverage from closer front truck
Whaley has great steeze.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Homeboy been around since Scooby-Doo was a pup and still ripping.
Love this board in the 8.6'' , get on board.(the boat)
I'm hooked on those shapes as well. 8.6, 8.8 and 9 all super fun. Creature makes them as well (they call them stumps).
That thumbnail was 😄 funny
Is my thought process right in thinking that if I learn to ollie with my 10x32 at its 15in wheel base then anything else will be easy to ollie with? Like I'm training with weighted clothes?
It will pop easier for sure. You will definitely notice the difference when you try and flip it. Just depends on if you get to where you like a bigger board.
What size of wheels would you recommend on those wide boards ?
Is there a video giving recommendation on how to choose the size of the wheels according to the type of skateboarding practiced ? I might have missed it.
I think I was riding 54mm and they fit perfect. That sounds like a video I should make. I'll get on that. Hardness effects how a wheel rides the most. If you want to cruise and skate for long distances get soft wheels. Smaller wheels are better for tricks. Larger wheels last longer. I rode 54mm, 101a on that deck because I wanted to be able to slide, do tricks and mostly rode on smooth ground. If I were going to do tricks and cruise I'd go with 55 or 56mm with a 95a hardness. For just cruising/transportation on rough surfaces maybe 57 and above with 78a-87a hardness (softer, cruiser wheels)
@@NHSSkateDirect I have bought 56 mm wheels 101a with a Jake Wooten 8.5 and it works well. Not sure it is a "boat shape" but with 14 inches wheel base it should have some dynamic.
I am 49 and started skateboarding two months ago to be on "the dance floor" with my son. Pretty amazing discipline and easy to get hooked to it. I should have started forty years ago :-). For now I "Ollie" in my dreams but keep thinking I could make it happen. Thank you for the good content shared on this channel. I am looking forward to the video on how to choose wheels size and hardness presented by you.
He reminds me of that dude from Ferris Bueller's day off!!
Ha! Cameron? I've heard that before.
That feeble tho!!
I want Ron to talk about the Fila's he's always rocking.
Ask away. At Tampa pro '98 I skated in Filas. The Etnies t shirt did not save me from ending a fine relationship with Sole tech.
So cool
Also why Ron could flick these boards because he has size 13 shoes and hes sick af!!!!
How do I get my hands on one of those decks
What size shoe do u wear
Anyone know the nose and tail length?
So made for me.
killer edit, thanks. unfortunately I love 33 plus and cant find em. I am 6'1" with a 13. I know ron is taller but I could care less about all other dems. on a cardiel 32.5 anti hero "step in the dog shit..." and luckily I have two so don't mind sk8ing the one but would like to find a repalcement
What trucks do you use with your nine just curious
9" on stimulus day
Till this day lmfao
14.25 wheelbase on 8.5 deck is fine for a flip s tricks?
@2:07 Not anymore. Impossible to find a 8.75" anymore with 15" wheelbase and 7" tail.
I know big boards are all the rage right but I find them uncomfortable I tried to get into them. Gave it about a year and I went back to my 8in
I like ur UA-cam channel Ron :)
Thank you!
Skateboard every day.
Can y’all bring this graphic series back?
i want them 9" boats..
Same as 8.8 creature stumps?
Yes. Same shape and dimensions. There's a Screaming Hand version that's out right now. Also, more Creature and SC decks using that shape going forward. Make sure it's the 8.8 x 31.95 with the 14.25 wheelbase since there's other 8.8 Creature shapes.
There´s a really tight skate crew behind NHS brands.
I skate 10 or 10.34 usually
Wide boys! A 10" boat with 14.25 wheelbase? I'd ride that.
I like the description and how the video literally just shows him doing 3 flip tricks lol switch flip. Nollie flip . AMD tre flip 🤦🏼♂️.
Are there others?
That's a lot in my book.
Kicks are super steep, I snapped it on a nollie heel start of 2nd session.
I skated a 9 with a 15 inch wheel base but went to a 8.625 with a 14.25 whee base and I can skate it better than a 8 inch board.
Right? makes a huge difference. 15 inches is great for vert but I love the 14.25 wb. Glad it's workin for ya!
I skate a 10.34 erick winkowski deck, this is small compared to my boat of a board.
10.34 is wide for sure. Winkowski rules.
How come the flip deck is 8.13... What size trucks for that size deck
Flip is a different skate brand. Not sure which of their decks might be similar.
That size deck is a tricky one since it's right in between truck sizes. If you want your trucks a little smaller than the deck : 8.0. If you want a little bigger at 8.25.
Both will work great and look like they fit.
If you want to flip the deck easier go 8.0
If you want more grinding area go 8.25.
Or if you think you might get a bigger deck one day (like if you're growing) get 8.25.
You still have to ride big trucks for a wide board
True true. You can tune it down depending on which size deck. Like 8.5 trucks on the 8.8 or 8.75 trucks on the 9.0. Same with wheels too.
you wanna see a real 90's football shape check out skull skates. this is just a 9inch popsicle compared to the skullskates actual 90s football
Since all the factories are shut down in Asia where is NHS gonna switch to have their decks (and Indy's) made with cheap labor? Maybe US prisons?!
Would like one if the nhs boards weren't made in china
"Santa Cruz wood is the best, always has been" Really? I've been skating for about 30 years now, and I've never heard a single person mentioning Santa Cruz when talking about their favorite decks/brands.
Interesting. Totally understandable that everyone has their own favorites. Who are the brands you think of or hear about when it comes to quality wood? I remember hearing that Lib Tech had really good wood back in the day.
It's because you hang out with zoomers
I've had bad experiences with Santa Cruz. Id consider the wood not great.
The vx boards are amazing. I'm six foot and 200 pounds and that extra board strength is amazing
00:53 Is that a Trump impersonation? Anyway, funny, Ron.
Not on purpose but I see it. That's unfortunate. Ha!
All in the same boat..... hahaha get outta here!
