@@dropoutbearofficial2520 You'll get a dozen different answers on this one, but if you're trying to do flip tricks, 80hd is going to be too soft. I have the banged up shins to prove it as I tried to use 80hd conicals on my 8 inch, Girl deck and the problem is the board bounces too much when it lands. It will definitely slow down your trick progress. Some people swear by 99-101 hardness only for tricks, but I think 86 Ricta Clouds can work as well. It all really depends. The harder you go, the last bounce (but also the less smooth ride). It all depends on your sidewalk and riding conditions/goals.
I love the 8.45” size one. I am a flatground skateboarder mainly and I really enjoyed skating this different sized board compared to the standard popsicle deck. The flip on the board is amazing and actually found it incredibly easy to do a lot of flatground tricks! After about 2 months of consistent daily skateboarding, skating stairs aswell I’ve noticed that the tail shape ends up getting worn out and loses shape, that is with heavy skating. Highly recommend this board 10/10!
Hah, this is literally where I'm at now. Currently running almost the same setup on my 9.138" Andy Anderson Flight deck and looking at the 8.45" version for more flip tricks and whatnot. Appreciate the vid!
@@JonBishopSkate I feel like that's me in a couple weeks when my ankle is good to go again. So I'll be back out of commission for a few weeks after that lol
I already want one! I’m getting back into skating after so many years but now with a young kid hoping to bring the love back and currently waiting in my Anderson 9.13. Super excited had to intentions on a new board untill discovering this 9.13 flight deck than noticing the scarcity so ordered the one I found immediately with titanium indys(first time trying to be light as possible) than bones big balls and the trimmings minus wheels which I’ll get later my Santa cruz speed bullets are still good buf want to fill crispy to start my son on the soon to be spare pocket pistol
Jon, you rock! I've just got a new set up for my 50th and my local city of Dijon has just built an amazing new park! That guitar riff 0.25-0.35 really annoys my teenage kids and I love it.. how can I make it into my phone ringtone.?!!!
Yeah, love his vids, I tried the offset wheels and didn’t like them at all? I just took an angle grinder the the axle and it sits in the rail stand perfect?!!
SUBBED 👍 This is THE most entertaining setup video I have seen . Good job sir ! I plan on getting one of these to use as a cruiser (to get comfortable again on a skateboard , been a while) . Watching this , I plan on doing all of the mods you demonstrated . Question : What nose and tail did you use ?
If you are planning to focus more on flatground and freestyle rather than on Street, would not make more sense an even narrower and less concave board? also smaller 101A wheels maybe?
Hey Dude, Yeah, I thought about a proper freestyle board, but I’m massive and clumsy with flippers for feet and pelican legs. I started on a 10” and the 9” is just starting to feel comfortable. This 8.45 feels like a tooth pick to me😀 so I’d imagine anything in the 7” range would not be great for my current level. Also my idea here is a hybrid experiment so I still plan to skate the mini and street with it?? I’ll share my findings and the tweaks in Part 2.
@@JonBishopSkate I am a pretty big guy too and I normally ride transition with a 8.85'' deck and 56mm wheels. After watching your video I took an old skateboard with a 8.25 deck and 52mm. wheels and it felt big enough, super light and way easier to do any flatground tricks. I presume that a 8'' deck would probably feel even better for freestyle. Just for you to know for your next setup 😉.
Nice one , brilliant bad weather alternative, I managed to get the 9.13 last week , keeping it till weather gets better hopefully its as good as your reviews. 👍👍👍
Nice one dude, yeah it’s a quirky one, so definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s all personal preference, but I have found I can get away with blue murder on mine 😂
@@JonBishopSkate how has your ramp stood up to weather , I coated my ply in Robson decking stain and its blown badly, need to re ply it in spring and looking for alternative treatments, cheers
@@jamesbondred9997 yeah, all good with the masonry paint and waterproof cover. Fingers crossed for a spring time sand down and repaint, a couple of spots would benefit from a bit of filler. Overall going ok, but still a couple of heavy months to come !!
Hi dude, great Chanel. Love your stuff. Would you say the skid plates have compromised the tail shapes aim of having a good pop / wings for certain pressure flips?
Hey dude, yeah for sure gonna effect the pop in some way, probably more purchase for pressure flips though?? I’ve now got a proper freestyle setup, this was an interesting experiment though? The freestyle setup is a lot easier to do freestyle on I have to say!!
@@JonBishopSkate thanks for your reply 👌. Have you changed the freestyle set up since this video? Do you still believe 8” trucks give you the best stability for rail stands / primo?
@@MV-vv7sg yeah still the same, I got hold of a proper Waltz freestyle setup and it’s way easier all round, so I’m favouring that now, but the 8” on the 8.45 feels pretty solid !!
@@MV-vv7sg yeah, the setup in the vid is the Anderson 8.45 I put together myself. I got a waltz complete since then. If you follow my Instagram @jonbishopskate there are pics and riding vids
Hi there mr jon! Since the board is sized 8.45 uncommonly, how do 144 truck (8.25) feels with wheels when it used for rail stand? Does it flush sideways? Or does it a lil bit tilted? And does it impact rail tricks?
Hey Dude Yeah, I found it works fine with the 144 truck. Only 0.20 less than the deck so just 0.10 tucked in on each side so it sits solid in the rail stand!!
Hi Kayden These are just standard seismic skid plates. I slightly resized them for the 8.45. I recon they’d work fine on the 9.13? They don’t have to fit the contour perfect as it’s just the razor tail it’s there prevent.
Hey Dude They are just the standard seismic tail and nose bones. I used an angle grinder to get them to follow the contours, but that’s a bit overkill TBH, I’m sure they’d work just as well as they are?!!
I'm planning to get one, an 8.75, is there a difference apart from the size? do you have both 9.13 and 8.75? I haven't skated 9's before, widest I have is a 8.5
Hey dude yes the wheelbase is different too, other than that it’s the same shape scaled down. I have both and I’ve done a video comparing the two (this one might be it?). I thought the 8.5 felt quite small after Sk8in 🛹🛹 the nine inch, but then after a few sessions on the 8.5 going back to the nine inch felt like skating a boat 😂
Hey dude, The online shop I went to is ‘offset skate supply’ you might also want to check out waltz skateboarding uk which has just opened. Both are dedicated freestyle skate shops !!
Ha, I got in touch with Powell and they said they are sending everything they are currently making out to shops and importers. So I phoned my local skate shop and much to my surprise they ordered one in from the uk importers and it arrived a couple of days later!!

Great Jon love the board hopefully for the summer or spring me and my dad can build a mini ramp they look fun and only in your back garden
Wow dude, God bless you, awesome flat ground tricks. That Casper flip is scintillating.
legend. setting up one of these while i watch
Great to see you and get some inspiration for the next days. 💪👍
Both entertaining and informative delivered in a professional package. Looking forward to seeing some Rodney skills on the carpet!

Looking forward to hearing about the differences you feel between the 8.45 and 9.13 version! Thinking about getting the bigger one...
Yeah man, love the big one, the 8.45 feels a lot smaller to me!! It defo flips, pops and shuvs easier, but I guess that’s no surprise?!!
nice to meet u jon, thats a sick new set up u got there bro.
such a good idea to put the tape under the rails, sick video as per usual jon!
Great video Jon, from one middle aged skater learning to skate to another! Thanks for the content buddy.
Great setup! I think I'm gonna try out putting grip tape on the trucks as well. Nice to see more people dabble into freestyle.
