Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[SaySo]

I just got a new job with a mid-five figure pay raise so I threw off the shackles of unemployment austerity and treated myself to a pair of those new anodized Ace AF-1s, a set of Mini Logo bearings for some cruiser wheels I have, and new hoodie to replace my collection of threadbare ones, and a set of Bones Swiss bearings to keep on ice until my main set finally shits the bed.

Good that you bought Swiss now, apparently the prices are set to increase (at least in Japan). So that might affect your part of the 3rd rock as well.

Snapped my fibula in February and had to have surgery. This whole time I've just been itching to skate, and watching skate videos and reading too much slap. I just kept buying way too much gear over the last few months which did help push off some of the depression of not being able to skate or do anything. Luckily I was able to get out and push around a little last weekend, and think I'm pretty close to being able to skate again. I did get good deals on a lot of this stuff though.

A random assortment of 8" boards. Hyped to try the Breana Girl shape. The UMA board came with Pepper Grip too so that'll be fun to try after skating nothing but Jessup since I was a kid.

Some Lakais including a pair of non skate ones. Es accel slim plus. Es Sal Barbier reissues (ebay find). A pair of HOURS (bought as a chiller but they do feel good).

Spitfire F4 52 101a. First set of Spitfires since I was probably 14. Been on Bones STF for years.

Royal Ultra Light 139. Haven't had Royals in over 10 years but you guys seem to like the new ones so I'm gonna give them a try.

Bones swiss and some Diamond P-rod hardware (I just liked the look of the light blue bolt)

Not picturing a bunch of clothes I bought as well.

Nice haul. Hope the leg gets back to normal.

This is your first set of F4s ever?

Thanks guys for the support. Been a rough last few months but it's almost better. PT has been a blessing. And yup first F4s ever. Skated Bones STF for about the last 10 years. Before that I pretty much just skated any wheels I could get my hands on.

Finally, after years of searching, I finally found 58mm Conical Fulls. Also, got the Jeff 60s.

First since the start of 2020 I think for the Conical Full 58mm in 99 duro.

I know a lot of people have been looking / wanting them.

Those 60mm 97 duro wheels should be good - right size for the shape and duro.

Copped one to skate seeing all the AH shaped boards in my local go quick. Looking forward to trying this shape out.

I’m thinking about it too.

I bought the regular 8.5 and a hoodie from that drop.

Waiting on the shoes! I spent too much in this recent sale (but such goood deals!) but I sold a couple of old (practically new) shoes recently so that evens out right 

If it wasn’t shorts season and if I wasn’t a midget id get me another pair of the crocketts. I’m on my 4th pair right now and they’re the best damn shoe, considered getting the low

[Pbn_jake]

Ordered two extra ace baseplates than I needed on accident, shout out krudco for having sick stickers though.

Half cabs up next to skate, hyped to try them out.

Skating a different shaped board than I had been after about 2 years, had been running the fa/hockey shape. This one is suiting me well. Was bummed that it wasn’t PS but it’ll do.

The Tiago is probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on my foot. Just did Disneyland with my whole family, was wearing a backpack full of stuff for the kids and had a kid on my shoulders the majority of the day, feet are not dying.

Haven’t popped the skf bearings in but I gave into the hype

Big shoutout to krudco and no comply. Neither are stingy with the shop stickers

No comply is the home shop, I live in Sd now but I still order shit from no comply from time to time.

These are the sentences that convinced me, that I should try some Tiago's in the future. Exactly the feedback my ankles want to hear. ^^ I am waiting on further reviews for the SKF bearings.

Oh dude do it! I got them off of this sketchy website called surfdome for like 25 bucks cheaper than they are anywhere else, was skeptical for a minute but they actually came through lol

I’m gonna throw them in after my session tomorrow, I’m pairing them with some f4 ogs the good shalomie gave me

[BartHarleyJarvis]

Was running errands and wasn't far from supreme so dropped by to see if they had the antihero eggs in stock. They've got a nice board bag as well. Definitely excessive. Going to set this up once the huffer is fully dead.

[Brad Breath]

I got excited and in a hurry ordered the green one.  But then realized I could’ve gotten a purple one.

Oh, well, I can’t wait to get it.

I was ready to settle for the green, especially after seeing BA on it in the little promo. but the purp is too good.

Felt the same. Wanted green because of BA, but purple is too good. Can’t wait to skate it. Do you know what the WB is on it?

Sticker says 32” length, 14.5” wb, although my measurement seemed slightly shorter. I also measured the tail at ~6-3/4” and nose at ~7” but those are by no means exact measurements

yeah same, they are going super quick from what i've seen as well. that being said they are still hitting shops so the shipments are still happening at least. i might start bothering the local shops more than i normally would about shipments
they do seem to post what shops have them on the instagram so maybe stalk that the next few weeks?
