The Set-up Thread

[Big Skatefase]

add me to the pro-kayo group.

dgk boards are great.

[Radbloke]

Just set this up after my AWS went for a swim on sunday. Local company and my mate's pro board. Seems good so far.

[escapistfool]

The graphic is rad.

[Radbloke]

Yeah I like it. Their only series so far is different colours of the same graphic. It's nice to be able to support local riders/companies for a change.

[CossRooper]

My first set up that after getting back into skating 3ish years ago. Certainly my favorite deck/series of all time, somewhat sad I skated it. Anyone remember the name of the artist? He had a feature in an old Transworld I had laying around but I can't find it at the moment.
Nevermind, found it. Thank God for the internet archive keeping such a deep copy of the SPoT Skateshop from 4 years back.

[Upgrayedd]

My quiver at the moment. just set up the pfanner clubhouse deck today

Can someone explain why people cut their grip like this? I have seen it many times on slap and don't understand it.

[b.v.]

It's a bizarre concept called creativity.

They don't actually skate, so they have a lot of time on their hands

[Mr.Hamfist]

The way I figure it, it's your skateboard nobody elses so doing something to make it personal  or likeable in your own only eyes makes sense. To some people thats a plain sheet, some people lines or stencils or whatever it might be. If being happy when I look down at my board means half an hour cutting designs then so be it

*One of my wheels became a whore and doesn't keep one of the bearings in anymore so there is 1 old spitfire on it until I pick up another set of bones.

The toy sticker is from a lil random kid at the skate park the other day.

I really like them so far.  I originally had some 59mm satori skunk goo balls but I found them too big/soft.  The bones feel like a better mix between a big soft wheel and your regular street skating wheel.  I can actually get some speed on the shitty roads around me and still slide on some ledges if I want to.
