I managed to find a ps stix toy machine board on skatedeluxe, so my setup:

Toy Machine 8.38 Axel Cruysberghs
Free grip
New Balance numeric 598

Same stuff as before:

Thunder 148 team hollow w/ bones medium bushings
Spitfire conical 54 (now 52)
Modus abec 7

ps I like the squareness and the wheelbase, the real full was square, yeah, but the 14.63 wb was humongous.
I landed a lot of kickflips...i just learned them ahahahah

Nice setup, I have a mini version of it, 8.0 with 5.2 ventures and 53 spits. Love the flat concave and small wheelbase.

I wish more board co.s would do wood grain...nothing beats wood grain/natural, silver/raw trucks and white wheels.

I thought there seemed to me a resurgence of wood grain with a centred graphic, wknd with their logo boards and quasis proto boards come to mind first.

You could always do what i do and buy a shape you like with some shitty graphic, strip it and clear coat it.  144p did it with a Real split stain board a little while back and it look 10 times better than the graphic they had run on it

I know everyone says shoe size doesn’t matter but I have a secret hunch that it kind of does (there’s just no concrete rules and always outliers). Is there any way people could post their shoe size as well with their setups? I’d be interested to know if there’s a pattern. Or not, I could totally go fuck myself.

Nope, like 3 weeks into dating she tried to ride my cruiser down the street, immediately slammed and cut open her forehead. I had to take her to the emergency room for stitches and call her parents.

I’m sure this was a diss based off of your usual Schtick to hate on anyone new, but honestly I don’t understand what it means or how it’s insulting to me. If you could elaborate on the burn I will promise to cry and feel hurt once I understand the specifics of your sass.

I'm a 10 in nearly everything and I usually ride 8.38-8.5. I been thinking about going 8.25 for the next one I buy though, but that's because my ankle makes it a little tough to flip the board sometimes.

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

Wow this is my exact situation. I have similar ankle issues to you broken left ankle and that’s my flicking foot. I’m a size 11 skating 8.38-8.5 and I wanted to size down as well to 8.18 or 8.25. But then I look at Kader or t funk and wonder if I’m just being a pussy. when I watch people like sewa, Ron Waley or kechaud with big feet skating small boards it looks weird for some reason. Do you have metal in your ankle? Is it more the range of motion that is affecting you or the pain when flicking? It sounds kooky but swimming has really done wonders for building back my ankle muscle. I was told when you are in a cast the small muscles weaken and when coming back the large ones like your calf will over compensate and all the small ankle muscles never get used enough to grow stronger again. So you gotta work on activating them again somehow with a resistance band or swimming.

Yeah I've got a plate and seven screws in it. It's really just the range of motion/weakness for me. I do bike a lot but I'll definitely try to swim more. That's honestly probably the reason why every single kickflip I land is mobbed to hell.

Is it just the picture or is your tail actually a mile long? 8.28 sounds like a beautiful size
