I wish I could go back to 2012... When the Lucas Pro's were discontinued, I started stockpiling as I wagered Adidas overall quality might start going down (especially after seeing what happened with the first Silas Pro shoe and it's successors.) I actually still have a few NOS pairs of the Lucas Pros left which should allow me to live the fantasy a little longer.

The Classic Slims are a gamble. I bought them a few years back wanting to try something new, as I had previously been running conical shapes, but could never bring myself to set them up. Part of me thinks I'm not going to like them very much after being used to wider profile wheels. However, I felt bad watching a new set of wheels languish in my box of old skate junk, so we'll see how it goes. If they don't work out, I'll post them up here in the classifieds.

I skated a set last year, oddly enough on my huge BA 9.25 shape and loved them. For some reason I have been preferring skinner shapes on my bigger boards and conicals on my popsicle setup, for look AND feel.

How are those film trucks?

great trucks.

how do they turn? they're really cheap so i might get a pair.

yep, would love some feedback on the trucks (not that i'm gonna change my indies, but i'm really intrigued)

the trucks turn really good,the shape is like the old indy(something like the stage IX) but lighter.
i changed the bushing but it depends if u are into loose trucks or not.anyways i set up always a set of bones bushing in all my trucks.also they are cheap, but not a mini logo truck or slant truck.anyways also krux is cheap but they are great trucks.

I'm setting up a Blind Banana & Skull Gonz reissue

Blind Banana Skull Gonz 9.88
Indy Forged 169
Bones STF 55s V5
Bones Swiss

I'm yet to buy the trucks, but will the 169s cut it on a board that wide?  Really dont wanna go up to a 215, but don't want a magic carpet, either.

I think 169 will be spot on. I have a set of 215 I put on my Klein 9.5 and my wheels stick out a lot

did you buy them off their website? are the prices for a single truck or a set? that might be a weird question but i still bump into online shops that sell trucks separately and the website says "truck" and not "trucks" when you click on a product. i'm a little confused because of that.

about to set up a new deck. loved this one but the razor tail and chipped nose are getting quite harsh. new one is the exact same shape so I should be good.

Indys 139's w/ mismatched bushings (I'll take what I can get)

I think if you actually skated and liked a shoe in it’s heyday then what’s the problem? I’d skate the fuck out of a pair of Emerica Ed Templeton 1’s if they redid them

Heads have been asking for a OG lynx reissue for years and DC obliged, can’t hate on that

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I cut an old Krooked Worrest deck into a Polarizer style board.  Cut a pair of Sure Grip Rollerskates in half and put in some Powerdyne Bushings with one Bones Medium and some Rough Riders.  I've never had so much fun rolling around, and the turn is incredible.  Can do a full 180 carve in about 4 foot of space and it's a tonne of fun in a bowl or carvey skate part.  And it goes super quick too.  Would like a bit more wheelbase, but still it's good times.

Krooked Worrest cut down to 6" wide x 27 1/4"
Sure Grip skates
Powerdyne Hop Up Kit bushings & 1 Bones Med on bottom rear
Swiss Super 6
Bones Rough Riders 56mm

Few reasons, takes away the option to kickturn which forces you to think about your lines and makes for a different ride and it feels nice to ride convex concave on a skinny board. Theyre Neil Blenders brainchild, he makes a small amount every year so i just thought id make a budget version
