I saw someone with vertical slide marks on their noise and tail and it disgusted me. Those are not from nose or tail slides. Then there are a few horizontal ones way away from the baseplate and it was just a horror show.  What are you doing to produce those? Stop whatever it is. I won't even get into 45 degree looking board/lip marks.

Oh shit.. I think I met SFB somewhere :'(

I took everyone's advice in regards to wanting to support Quasi, but having reservations about PS Stix recent quality control issues. First session was pretty good, although I must say the board doesn't have the same *snap* sound that BBS/DSM boards make when you smack the tail, but the pop didn't seem lacking.

Was looking at the 8.3 lowpro but want something short and fat, like a B16 but not a B16

I wanted to try something like that next, but I was wondering, does the very narrow middle of the dunk sole not affect how the insole sits in there? I mean, rising the arch support too much or something?
Oh! and how is the cushioning with your combo then? Thanks.

The arch hasn’t bothered me at all. To me they fit perfect in the dunks.
I plan on running this combo for a while.
Little more board feel than the standard insoles

How does the low pro mellow feel?  I used to skate low pros all the time but since I started skating more mellow concave/kick boards I stopped.  this might be perfect

WKND 8x31.75
Hollow Indy 139’s
F4’s 54mm
Swiss
Bones medium bushings
Indy hardware
Jessup

I’ve been riding Quasi decks for a few months so I stuck with PS and picked up another WKND. I had one that I rode for a few sessions but the wheelbase was way too big and was throwing me off. This set up is perfect. The F4/Swiss/Indy combo is amazing. I grabbed another WKND since it was on sale so I’m set for the next few months.
