a buddy opened a shop about a year ago. That was when i first laid eyes on it...
i went back recently for the 5 boro premier and  saw my wiener on the board rack. Surprised to see it there, i bought it.

Trying to get in on some of that wiener gripping action?

Ha - you know it..!

but seriously - if you saw the 5 Boro premiere and it's a new shop around NY, I'd guess Belief Skateshop, but I could be dead wrong...

Either way - I bought this toy machine cruiser and totally regretted it because it's too big and it's not really Ollie-friendly. Good for cruising though...

Not my pics - but I have the same soft wheels like this, cept their red and not purple like this guy's:

Have you let anyone else ride your wiener?  I bet your wiener has gotten a lot of compliments.  Your wiener has a nice shape and is quite stylish.

thanks for the kind words HATE!. 

No one has yet to ride my wiener. It was handled once - gripped with both hands. That i didn't mind.
But from now on i wanna experience it all for myself
This is my wiener. there are many like it but this one is mine

Oh shit, they sure do look like they're on backwards.

Isn't that just longboard technology? I've seen trucks on longboards w/ the kingpin on the wrong side of the hanger before, which would furthermore support his opinion of the board being too long. Toy Machine longboards?
I rarely venture into classic slap and the one time I do it I find a guy getting his dick eaten by a dolphin.

I guess it would be more of a cruiser, but I'm thinking that, once I switch out my Designarium cruiser, I'm going to get a skinny, odd shaped board but keep my super wide trucks on it for my next cruiser.  Like Thunder 149s on like a 7.75/7.8.  Seems fun.

does anyone have any experience with the pig supercruisers? i?ve had krooked zipzinger 65s for 2 years now, but i want something more "skateboardy", smaller, if that makes any sense. i am torn between the 58 and 56mm ones, any suggestions? how big is the difference between those 2 diameters riding wise?(except for 2 mm diameter....). i kinda want to go for the 56mms but i am not sure if its big enough for rough pavement? i guess the softness should make up for something, but yeah, i have no idea.



thanks a lot.

How does 90a wheels feel to cruise rough asphalt with? Im thinking about getting another cruiser with some harder wheels on it.. 90a would be perfect

Decided to get the reissue of the first pro deck that I ever had (even down to the woodstain) and put my old trucks on it (Thunder Titanium II Hi 147). It makes nice change from the Krooked board that I had set up before, longer wheel base and wider, although the reissue is smaller than the original.

I have one of those deathwish 40 cruisers from a while ago that i fucked up and recently stripped the grip off of, and im currently using zip zinger sized supreme cruiser as my primary cruiser. Now, i'm debating if i should buy some grip and new trucks for the deathwish deck to have a wider more solid cruiser, or if i should just buy a new 7.5/7.75 ish cruiser and keep rocking with the smaller cruiser. decisions decisions...

That looks like an incredibly fun, normal set-up. Or second set-up
