Finally set up the Snuffer


Classic 55s with Ace hard bushings
1/8" Ace risers
58mm 99a F4 Classics
Bones Swiss 6
[close]

My first ever deck. It was 1994 and it was so used, waterlogged and chewed up, but it was mine. I should have grabbed a reissue when John put them out.

I see what you did there ;)

id fuck with a huffer that was slightly shorter, around 32”
that and a 14.25 wb would be dreamy
I know this was left aeons ago, but there are literally gazillions of short WB eggs and footballs out there for you to grab. The huffer is the only longer board of the bunch. Don’t make them mess with it.
Like fuck. If you ruin these before I have a chance to try them I’ll find you, and I’ll tell you off really strict. I might raise my voice at you. Go get some heroin, primitive, creature or enjoi eggs. Leave this one alone.

i get what you mean
but youre drunk if you think they would alter the og
dlx would (and has) made other shapes that have similarities
and would give it a whole new name before fucking with a favorite
the huffer shape has been relatively untouched for a decade

nothing i suggested online should ruin your chances of trying one
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Don't panic. It looks like a new Huffer is put out every other release or so. There's a nice Chris Johanson one due for Fall drop 2.

Sorry, I actually was a little drunk when I posted that rant. But I’m still a bit serious.
What if they come out with the 31.5” length -13.88” WB TruFit Huffer, and then find them selling better than the OG. My fear is they’ll discontinue it.

Huffer Jr like Polar did their Jr boards, smaller size of the original shape, or Welcome, "Son of..." size decks.

Either way, they had the Black Widow, or Brown Bomber and a few other options that didn't sell as well, but are still around every now and then, so I think that side of things is covered.

Even the Genius shape covers those smaller curves well.









I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

What's your preferred wheel on Huffer atm? I'm eyeing some classics in bigger size 56-58mm and I ride 8.75 trucks. Would like to hear if you like a slimmer or a wider wheel on Huffer and why. Used to ride bulkier wheels on my Huffer but stuff felt so heavy.

I've used everything from 50mm Classic lil Smokies up to 60mm OG classics. All depends on what I am riding.

I think classics look the best but I like a slightly wider wheel so Radials are a nice compromise. I get too much wheel bit on the Huffer with more squared shapes and have to start stacking up the risers which isn't ideal.

My current Huffers have some worn down 55mm classics on Ace 60s. A pretty good all terrain Huffer. And 58mm Classics on Ace Classic 55s for bowls and transition.

if I had to commit to one wheel on a Huffer it would be a Radial 56mm.

Here's the next Huffer that should be out soonish,

Long wheelbase is a dealbreaker for me.

Yeah. Been awhile since I've seen a Chris Johanson graphic. I am at a point, where I pretty much purchase every Huffer that comes out.

Radials would be tight but they're not available for me and I prefer 97d that I forgot to meantion. I got some 56mm classics and thanks for the recommendations. I rode some wider 97s in a concrete park and wooden mini ramp and loved em.

I grab one about every other season. I also like the 9.4 Heroin eggs so I switch back and forth.

The Formula Four 97 duro come in Classic 53, 54 and 56 mm, Conical Full in 54, 56 an 58 mm and Radial Full in 54, 56 and 58 mm sizes.

I have some of each, mainly 54 and 56 mm sizes as I just like the formula for some places, and the Radial Full or even Conical Full are good wide wheels that work well on wider trucks and boards, just looking at the proportions anyway.

They all should still be current stock, but depending on your area, some might be more available than others.


All of these have worked well on the Huffer shape I have set up.


Looking back over your posts, you seem to have quite a few options in wheels, from bigger, softer, wider, etc.

I do like the Classic shape for most things, but I also prefer Classic Full or Classics when worn down a bit more, so they widen out, but the fact that they are so easily available anywhere in any size makes them a good choice and they will lighten up your board a bit, compared to the Radial Full 56 mm wheels you have / had on boards.

Back on a magic carpet Huffer today. Felt really good at my curb/ flat spot.

AF155s with Ace hard bushings. Ace 1/16" shock pads (probably unnecessary). Some worn down conical full 53mm 101s...
This might be my 'tech Huffer.'

Seriously considering committing 100% to the Huffer and just mixing up the undercarriage for different applications/ terrains.



Bonus info my tibia is the exact length of the Huffer WB. its meant to be...

Got my hands on a Huffer off of Depop.
I’m ready to try the magic myself.

I think I have to as well. I like me sub 14" board as a cruiser but for everything else it started to feel too stubby and unsecure. I wasn't a fan of Classics and Huffer combo, Radial Full gonna be too hefty probably so I might try some smaller diameter Conical Fulls.

$33, shipped.

I set it up today after having it live on my trunk.
159 Indy Mids
56mm F4 Radials

I thought the WB would make it a pain but it wasn’t that crazy. I just did slappies and tried some flip tricks. Weirdly rocketed my Ollies specifically. Other than that, I get the hype.

I may be in the minority here, but I threw some Venture 6.1s on my huffer.  Felt a little long at first, but now that I am used to it, this setup is so much fun.  Already was running Ventures on my other setups, I was just reluctant to throw them on here due to the wb.
