For the filming of Timecode, Fred was often riding a custom shape called the Long Boy. It was 33.5" x 8.25" with a 15.25" wheelbase and paired well with the 60 mm wheels he was using at the time. The deck wasn't ever available to the masses until a Metal reissue was released this summer. That's a bigger board than his assorted pro models from 1998. I'm inclined to believe he's not overly picky about a whole lot of stuff and is fine with riding whatever size board is available.
It's going to be extra random stuff for next week. Just sayin'.
The photographs are by Mike Ballard.
