Sick!

I'm in Hawaii with my wife on holidays right now. Scored a Real deck for $45.00.
Pretty stoked, decks in OZ are usually $90 - $100.

And even tho they are not skate related, I got two pairs of black chinos from an Old Navy store for $50.
I cant believe how cheap everything is in that place.

Local shop blank, a sheet of Jessup, and Vans old skools. And a set of wrecks, but I actually got those for free from a friend who rides for them. Speaking of which, anyone willing to do a trade for some F4s or STFs? They're 54s and still haven't been unwrapped. No?..... No takers?..... Anyone?..... Thought so.  :-[

Picked up a $lave Goemann deck and an Alien Workshop(!) from the Chuting Star Black Friday buy one get one free deck sale. Shout out to whoever linked to that in the Sale thread.

I also picked up a pair of gunmetal Indys from my local shop. The Aces I was riding left a bad taste in my mouth so I figured I'd go back to riding what I knew was good.

Not sure if it translates to this photo, but Habitat killed it with the shape they chose for the Al Davis board. 90s-ish football shape. Long, pointy nose and nice long tail. Gonna get this gripped up tonight and I'm thinking I might be sticking with this shape for awhile.

* koston hollow indys. first time having a pair, awesome indy turn, but lighter.

* indy orange aftermarket bushings, best bushings ever.

* indy aftermarket pivot cups, they actually make a difference.

I've done almost the same thing, except didn't get the pivot cups. This has got me interested,now I'm going to have find a skate shop in Canada that does pivot and has an online shop.

It feels pretty good, I usually wear a Large but got an XL ( it was the only size our shop had) its a little big on me but i'm not swimming in it so its cool. its not super warm but will do well with a long sleeve or hoody underneath.

Got this as a stocking stuffer...really great read if you are into the stories behind skate graphics. I would've liked to hear Todd Francis tell more about what riders were bummed about which graphics.

Was also interesting to hear about Eric Swenson at DLX getting uncomfortable with political related graphics.

Those ornaments are great. Perfect gift for an office Secret Santa gift exchange!  ;D

Also picked this up which I'm pretty hyped about. All of the parts are available on Youtube, but it's nice to have the hard copy DVD. Every part in this is gold, but I keep that Paul Shier part on daily repeat.

This very same Tony Hawk Falcon 3 was my first real skateboard with a graphic.  When one popped up for $90 on ebay, I didn't hesitate.  It's an original from 2001 and not a reissue, silk screened not heat transferred. 

(https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10922449_10152677225143106_5751807235385764210_n.jpg?oh=4c6f5aa45099935d9b64f87b25147da7&oe=556F8331)

Then I said fuck it and got a bunch of these guys at a great price too, they're the reissues however. Always was the best color for that board

Have you skated these yet? They look superb.

I've not skated'em yet... I was holding them till my new trucks arrive and use my current wheels since they are still skatable, but the trucks are delayed so i was thinking in using them in my current set up, then i just saw the weather site and seems like it will be raining for the next couple days... So maybe next week i have the chance to try them! I will say my thoughts on the wheels threat!  ;)

They still use it on all of their "Downlow" trucks which is their version of a low.  The Downlow is 52mm high, roughly the same height has the Thunder 149II.  The trucks I have are their K4 standard model which are 55mm high and use the regular kingpin.

Right now they only make the Downlows up to 8"

That might be with the Downlows which im sure don't turn as well as the taller ones that I have.  The talls have incredible turning.  A mix between tight and surfy

I'm really liking the 8.25 Krux - one thing is I wish I could get a lower truck in 149 that actually turns (sorry thunder, you still don't turn as carvy as I like and most bushings are a pain in the ass other than yours, which are too hard).

Doesn't one have to do with the other? I switched my regular indy baseplates to forged ones which are like 1.5mm lower and the turning was significantly less carvy.

Definitely. I can use one nice set of bearings (instead of a bunch of cheap sets) and throw them in any wheels I want. I like to skate different sizes and duros, and bearings will be easier to clean this way too. Not everyone has a use for them that's for sure but now me and my boys have the tool at our disposal.

Thanks heritage! I've never skated a pair of SLR's before, but have only heard good things about them here on SLAP. Super stoked on just the color alone on these SLR, and impressed by the construction of the sole. Couldn't pass up on $25 each!

Plus this video has the Pepe Martinez tribute part. Pepe has been my favorite skater since about 1993, so owning this video with his tribute part really means alot to me. Forever missed.

To an extent, I guess?

ACE hi and Thunder hi are super close in height if not exactly the same and ACE are by far more carvey due to the geo.

I hope you enjoy these, but those lakai soles are from an older line and, to me, are extremely slippery and un-flexable. I wouldn't base your opinion of Lakai off them. I'm skating the new slip-on Lakai Owen now, and it's one of the best shoes out of the box I've had. Great sole, flexible, and durable. They've changed factories since then and they feel like they've went from Airspeed Quality to old Nike quality. It's a huge difference.

Ok, this is what I can tell you. After doing the braille test and two different shoes. The M-80 is a tad bit finer and grippyer. However I'm definitely not a fan of the small Mob cut out. I left all the pieces in but can still see it every time I look down. I think I'll stick to reg Mob for future decks since I'm weird and picky about solid black grip tape.

I actually like the M-80 mob grip and cant believe they don't simply have just solid black grip of it. I don't have to sand down my grip like i use to have to with regular mob. I as well don't cut out the logo and keep it intact so that it looks like solid black grip.

I don't think adhesive is your problem. Apply the grip properly and sand the edges and you'll be fine. I use a file no razor blade.

I don't have an issue applying grip; the grip seems to come in half, where a grippy layer peels up and the sticky layer stays on the board.

Box arrived early this morning hadn't the time to fully set it up. I'm on this kick of going smaller, lighter and lower (apparently I like low trucks) of late:

DUDE.  This is nuts.  I just set this up last night before heading out on a trip to SoCal

Same deck, same grip, same trucks (mine are the standard V-Hollow Lights, not the P-Rods) and same wheels but white, same hardware and  Swiss 6 bearings

Dude, I'm a little weirded out right now  :o

What are the odds? I mean seriously, what are the fucking odds this would happen? Perhaps given the amount we swap out gear it was bound to happen?


What size wheels? I had to go with 52mm for that color; almost went for 50mm in your style and swapped out the Andele Swiss for the 7s last minute. ;)

A sheet of Mob. As I was gripping my new deck (which has a steeper overall concave), I set the sheet of grip onto the board, and when I was patting it down, the grip cracked, right at dip of the board (at least I think it's called the dip, it's the area of the nose or tail right above the bolts where it is just starting to bend, not sure what the official name for it is, so I just call it the dips). The shape was too steep for the grip so it crinkled/cracked when I put it down.
Now I know it's more just cosmetic damage rather than anything serious, but I seriously could not look down at my board only to see a giant crack looking back at me, it was too distracting. So I went back to the shop the same exact day and bought a sheet of Jessup.

The board has nice mellow concave (In my opinion) while the nose and tail have an interesting shape. In comparison to what I'm used to they have somewhat of a square shape to them. So far so good I've really enjoyed skating it these past few days!

I normally wear a US10, the Figgy's fit true to size, though I need to use laces to avoid heel slip; the eS run a full half size SMALL, had to get a 10.5. Totally new to these shoes, haven't ridden Emericas since the Reynolds ONE and never touched eS.

Out of the box, the eS are a damn comfy shoe, they feel ready to skate, if not a bit on the bulky side in the middle of the shoe. The figgys are also super comfy out of the box and have more squish to them when you step, you can feel yourself sinking into them.

EDIT: Exchanged the eS for another pair of the figgys (blk/gum), the meat of the eS in the middle of the shoe just felt too much and I really wanted a basic looking/wearing shoe.

Speaking of thrift stores, I got these Dylans for 35 bucks at Buffalo Exchange. They still had the tissue inside that comes with the shoe.

And found this for eight dollars! Super hyped.


Fucking comeup! Buffalo exchange rules, I've seen so much good shit there when Ive been in the states.

The current stock Indy bushings are 88a.  The old stock bushings were 90a.  So basically if you want to match the old bushings, you'll want to get the Orange "Medium" aftermarkets.  To match the current stock Indy bushings you'll want to get the Red "Soft" bushings.

Also, if you'r running 149's I suggest getting the cylinder bushings.  Conicals are fine in 139's but you'll get wheelbite in 149's

Nice!  The conicals are great in 139's so i imagine they will be in the 129's.  if you still have issues, i'd go softer.  smaller trucks have less leverage so you need softer bushings

Picked this up last week, 8.125" (measures out but feels like an 8.25" to me)
Nose shape is really nice, concave is on the deeper medium side and the kicks are nice, tail is pointyish.
Pretty disappointed overall tho; skated it less than 4 hours and it's already down to the third ply. Felt DOA too. Live and learn (and back to bloodwizard); keeping it as back up.

I don't know why I bother trying other decks other than to reaffirm how much I love Blood Wizards. The shapes are magical, super thin plys so they are very very light yet very strong and super stiff; I don't know how they do it.

I've skated 15 different boards in the last year from a lot of different companies, different wood shops, various sizes, etc and the Sovrn deck has by far been the best.  The dimensions are absolutely perfect for me.  Nice long wheel base, long nose and tail and that "two fingers" of flat that Schmitt talks about.

All around the best board that I've ever skated so I picked up a couple backups

Width - 8.38"
Wheelbase - 14 3/4"
Tail - 6 3/4"
Nose - 7 1/4"

Also I wanted to try out the new Ricta NRG wheels after hearing good things from Xen.  Each pro model has a unique shape, the Westgate's are super slim at 27mm wide (Slimmer than Bones V3 and sml slims) and have an almost square/tablet profile

Two sheets of trusty Mob M-80 for the new decks when they're ready

It's grippier than jessup but less chunky than regular mob, it's more like Black Magic sole saver; I'm a fan.

I'm surprised Atlas and Skateworks don't have bars or something on their windows. Like, according style gates they can open and shut. I know Atlas is in a decent area, not sure what type of area Skateworks is in. What about insurance?? Do skateshops not insure their stores??

Or maybe they do have that shit. I don't know... Fucking bummer either way. Hope those fuckheads are caught. It's only a matter of time before a couple guys start showing up to SOMA or some other park trying to sell product out the back of their car.

Yeah the jacket looks amazing, is it a light jacket or does it have a bit of a lining I couldn't tell when I ordered it?  I'm currently in Australia and got it back to my apartment in the U.S. so I don't get to see it for another month.

Think those are standard nylon coaches. They just did a new one that is like a lined cotton twill. Both are very nice. Passport doesn't fuck around.

Good I was hoping for just a wind breaker weight Coach jacket, I saw the cotton lined one but it wasn't on sale and I don't really need a jacket at that weight.  Passport makes dope shit, I've gotten a few things from them while in Oz and they've all been of excellent quality.

wonder how you like them!

i´m on my third pair since they came out and really like them. they seem to fall apart pretty quickly, especially around the toe where you kickflip,  but just for the first couple days- not a long lasting shoe for me at all, but i like the grip and form of it! oh and put another insole in those- i put a lunarlon from my converse in these and that´s just about perfect!

I find awesome shoes at Ross all the time and rarely are they my size, or wide enough for my fat feet.

Lately I've been seeing....

Supra Stacks
Supra Hammers
DC Kalis Centric S
Emerica Herman G6 Vulc (Same colorway that's posted above)
Emerica Reynolds Vulc (Also same colorway posted above. Grey/Gum sole)
Emerica Westgate

None of them ever my size!!!

Went to Ross and tried on these Supra Vaider Lo's. Not wide enough. BIG SURPRISE...... ::)

If anybody has a Nordstrom Rack in their area, I suggest going there to try and find shoes. I've found Supra's and a lot of Van's. From pro models to some more lifestyle made Vans, like California packs. Found a bunch of good stuff there today, but again, not my size. I've really had no luck the last few months

Found Vans Chima's, AV Classics, and Linderos.

They got a website, too surprisingly if anyone is interested

I bought a pair of eS koston 3's off Jeremy Wray. So happy I found this shoe for an affordable price, been wanting a pair for years. I also got a pair of the K6's for cheap. Ugly color but they are rarely found in my size for cheap.

oh and I totally agree about the reynolds lights. one of the best shoes i ever skated hands down. i wore those until they were straight swiss cheese. if emerica has a clue, they'll see this is the right time to bring that shit back for a limited run.

i'm wearing the reynolds vulcs right now and they're nearing completion. i had to use superglue to rejoin the heel of the sole to the upper again, and the footbed flattened out significantly (i heard herman vulc is thicker?). besides that, it's a great no-nonsense shoe like other people pointed out.

I got one of these a couple days ago too, homie from the shop hooked me up with it. I tried to buy one off the wall at a skatepark some time ago but was denied. Feels good to have it hanging in my office now!

That's an amazing poster. You guys are both lucky fuckers.

I'm curious. I'm definitely not interested in buying or riding them myself but I'd like to know why they make them like that. Are you really supposed to 'lock' into grinds in the center of your truck?

I missed out the first run (signed) didn't know Socal had the signed ones at regular price; they sold out of the five they had right away.

Shape looks sick, just what I have been after, most shaped boards are too extreme one way or the other.

TNT SGs (starting to get my ollies back higher so I need mids to protect my ankle bone! Just the fucked up way I ollie)
Shirts

Picked up the SGs in a 9.5 (usually wear a ten) as Vans break in to a half size larger, that is if the soles don't blow out first; this 9.5 is much roomier than the Crockett's. Feels good, feel like Vans, pretty stoked; they feel like skate shoes rather than payless shoes (sorry Figgys/emerica but that's what you felt like).

Me? It's funny cuz I don't know if Joel Meinholz even skates pools at all but he's got a saint bernard skating a pool as his graphic. I'm sure he could if he wanted to but he's known as a street skater so that is funny. I wanted a cool artistic graphic and got one. We don't have bowls or anything like that where I live.

Also jumped about the tiny-wheel nostalgia bandwagon recently, bought a couple of sets of 40mm Autobahn Coopers. They look comically small when set up but I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying them so far. Strictly for park use only though, there's no way I could skate across town on these things...

That board's awesome, Rusty! Very nice.

Recently got a grip of boards that I'm psyched on, but wanted to post this in the meantime -  a reissue of Mike Carroll's Plan B Opus board from Big Mess. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that Carroll once had a pro board with Opus on it, and with the resurgence of Bloom County I'm even more hyped on it. I might skate this board in the future though.

those look amazing. can you post a couple more pics of the setup?

Local shop has a set of those 40mm ABs, I checked them out, they are dayum small...I skated a set of vision blurr 2 wheels (google that shit) down to wear you could see the bearings through the 'thane. That was the one and only time I fell for that shit.

I wont this deck. Just ordered some big trucks to go with it. Might be fun trying to brave the bowls with this.

Me? It's funny cuz I don't know if Joel Meinholz even skates pools at all but he's got a saint bernard skating a pool as his graphic. I'm sure he could if he wanted to but he's known as a street skater so that is funny. I wanted a cool artistic graphic and got one. We don't have bowls or anything like that where I live.
He has the only trick in a pool in static 4

glad i found one of these on the spot sale page

Here's my come up to go with the small wheels. It said "8.35" on the website but I measured em and they're like 9" wide so I'm stoked to get some big ass board like 9.2 or so and hopefully the baseplate don't crack like the last set of Tensor I had (which I ended up buying a second time and accidentally giving away to some girl cuz I think with my dick and not my brain)

Sorry photos are so fucking big.

Got this shirt not too long ago. One of the "local" skateshops I go to. It's in parenthesis cause it's like 50 miles away from me or something crazy like that. Good times in Grass Valley, CA.

Went to the other "local" shop yesterday that I go to. Subversions in Sacramento, CA. I'm backing Doomsayers Club big time. I got the hardware and the gray and black snake shake hat in the top photo.

Zebra... this is an honest to god question and I am in NO WAY criticizing your purchase... just trying to understand the allure with DoomSayers...

All they do is put out shirts/socks/crap with the same handshake logo... that's really it.  i don't understand what's so great about it.  it's a neat drawing and all, but i can't see why people would be excessively stoked on it unless you're the world's biggest Omar fan.






this whole lot of crap was less than 50 bucks.  very stoked to see Ethan's back tail shove on a hard copy... i just need Nonfiction to complete all my Real videos.  (and the Carlin shirt was from '74! and not advertised as such)

I like the logo, I like the other art they have. I like the clothes they're making. I like the look they have, or the aesthetic of the brand, if you will. The whole handshake with the snake biting the other hand, and how it came to be the logo cause of companies coming into the industry to try to make a buck and fucking guys over. I don't remember where I read that. I think it was in Omar's Jenkem interview.

Kinda ironic cause Omar rides for Nike, I know. Haha

I am a big Omar Salazar fan. He's from my area. He's supporting skateboarding out here. He hand delivers stuff to the local shops. Not a lot of companies are doing that these days. I also like how the brand is pretty small still. I personally hate wearing shit any kid can buy from Zumiez. Haha. Sounds lame, or hipster or whatever, but I know I'm not the only one. Haha

Taking no offense to your question.

Now, taking no offense to my question, what brands are you into??

I've done multiple 'anti-establishment' phases and man, if I had the skills these kidpros have these days I'd sell out in a hot minute; skating is over wicked fast these days, kids turn pro overnight and parts drop as quickly as they are forgotten, it's cash in time and you better hope you get enough to do your own thing and it sticks because most of those kidpros don't have the staying power the late 80's O.G.s did.

New Gilbert Mids, which came with the Free DVD and sick book. Now if my hurt body could just turn backside I'll set the Soy Panday board up. 8.25. Maybe three more days...

So psyched to own these boards that came in today - from left to right, Rasa Libre Thunderbird board, Stacks Beetles series (all Reese Forbes models, small to large), and a Nate Jones Rasa Libre. Michael Leon was personally selling them to raise funds for a skatepark in Ojai, so I'm glad it was for a good cause.

I do not understand this shirt. Do you personally know that dude? What is the allure of wearing a random guy on your chest?

Got these at DLXSF when I was in the city on Saturday. They weren't on display. Dude brought them out for me. Like them way better than the gray color they had out. Super comfortable, and wide enough for my feet, thank God. I was iffy on them, but then the guy told me he had had  them for awhile and would give me 25% off, so I was definitely sold. Stoked!!! That's why that shop is one of the best shops around. Love that shop. Have since I was 13.

Did that Propeller video come with a pair of shoes?? That copy looks legit. I figured it wouldn't be so nice of a copy if they were giving it away with the shoes.

Does anyone know if they're gonna come out with a hardcopy for sale?? I think I heard somewhere they were gonna come out with a really nice copy that has a book and everything, kinda like Emerica did with Made: Chapter 1

the hardcopy is ONLY sold with shoes... Vans pro shoes $50 and up.  It's a really nice hardbound book with photos and the DVD.


if you don't wanna buy anything, just go to your local Vans store, buy some shoes, get the DVD, and return the shoes the next day.  they won't ask for the DVD back.

Yeah, I just got it because I'm sort of in at the shop I go to. I was checking out and the guy who runs the place asked if I had gotten a copy to which I said no, and then he gave me one.

Oh man, I got those Hawk's and I'll be damned if they aren't lasting longer than any shoe I can remember. I've put a month on them and no holes, they almost look new still. Like every shoe I put footprint insoles and they are super comfy, you can jump down stuff or rip around doing whatever. Great shoe for sure.
 I saw some dude review them online and skate them for a month, he said he didn't have one bad thing to say about them. Get them while you can I say, support a nice humble dude to

I also bought a pair of Vans. They didn't have a pair of Pro shoes in my size that I wanted, so I opted for this rubber toed number that caught my eye....

(http://images.vans.com/is/image/Vans/19BGPU-HERO?$583x583$)

They're surf shoes, apparently. Name on the tongue is Dane Reynolds. Sounds like a pornstars name.

For $52, you can't beat them. They seem prime to skate. Sole feels grippy. Rubber toe seems awesome. The insoles inside is very cushy. It's like a thinner Ultracush insole. Girl working there said they're made to wear without socks?? Definitely will be wearing socks. Only downfall right off the back is that they're canvas.

Went online and saw that they come in Navy, Red, and all black, also. If these skate good, I want every color. Stoked on them.

Didn't really need a new set of bearings, but I was hyped on the little edit Modus did with Sylvain Tognelli...so, they sold me a set of their titanium bearings. ;D

I can't say they are much lighter than stock but they have much more grind clearance now. No shaving of the bushings needed, just a bit of force to have threads catch and boom! No more wiggly kingpins; worth it for sure. Just need to pick a new a deck!

Bought the blue ones. Found them at Ross. I needed a dressy shoe for work. These are just dressy enough. Hopefully they're comfortable and I don't mess them up.

Were they easy to install and adjust? I was reading on the NHS site that you might not be able to adjust these kingpins on ace/indy base-plates unless the truck is unmounted and you can hold the nut in position....

These look good, but if I need to take the trucks off to tighten or loosen, then I'm good. Too much work for me.

Found the original black Huf Dylan's at this sort of skate shop in San Antonio called Fast Forward for $60. Didn't buy any cuz they're not my thing, but figured I'd share for all those fan boys who'd kill for a pair. They also have the burgundy ones. Multiple pairs in sizes 7 through 13. Give them a call, maybe they'll mail you a pair...

The Thrasher Skate and Destroy beanies are shallow.  I can only wear shallow beanies because my head is weird shaped or something and normal beanies make me look like a cone head.  Make sure you only get the Thrasher ones made by Elm Beanie Co.

That might be your problem. From my experience in washing my own beanies, it'll go back to it's original form, at least close to it, if you wash it.

Autobahn. When it comes to wheels it's all personal preference really, but you can't go wrong with the other suggestions either; SML or Prize Fighter.

And just saw you asked about the Modus bearings on the last page...they're really good! Bones Swiss are always my go to, but no complaints at all on the Modus. Again, just bought them on a whim based on the Syl Tognelli edit. They're similar to Hard Luck 'Ceramics'. Same price too.

There's quite a few reasons to get them and solid reviews from posters in the thread dedicated to F4s, but i'll add this here, i checked yesterday how long i've had my current set on and it just hit a year, by far the longest length of time a set of wheels have lasted, i can't recommend anything else

Not necessarily bought but I was gifted these and I'm fucking picky and can't skate shoes this bright, anyone know how I can make this egg-shell white color black without the grittyness of spraypaint-to-suede?

Black marker or black fabric marker.

this, or black leather dye if you want to get really fancy.
Or you can use a brush or pipette to apply ink. most inks will work e.g indian, graffiti and pilot.
you can also use fabric dye.

Finally bought the Brian Lotti Atlas shop board on the left, going into the collection. Beautiful artwork as per usual and the 35MM book that came along with it is a nice surprise.  Skating the Green Apple shop board since they're always top quality.

I'm not 100% sure - the board came with a sticker that said Canadian-made, so they might've switched woodshops.

Just bought a pair of the all black leather Adidas Superstar ADV from vu in Baltimore. I'm really loving how plush the adiprene+ insole is. Haven't skated them yet but I can already tell they have a ridiculous amount of cushion for a vulc. Sorry for the massive pic.

got the thunder rebuilt kit.  the bushings work PERFECT. was on the bones hype for so long and these blow em out the water.
kinda lame the bolts/ washers are colored. had em on my trucks for a sesh and it drove me crazy so i dipped em all in paint thinner and made them silver;

got these on sale too for $30 so far they spin pretty quick after 2 sessions and make a much smoother sound versus regular steel ball bearings. might invest in swiss ceramics

yes! Went here for the first time tonight. Headed straight over after the Battles show in downtown only to find a crazy fucking line. After making a friend who happened to be friends with Battles sound guy we were escorted into the bar. Really fun vibe and super fucking affordable. I don't drink but I bought a friend a PBR and my girl had about 4 PBRs and my total was $20. Unheard of in hollywood. Tons of pros in the house.

That's a great Palace crewneck. It's funny, I was never into either Palace or Supreme until the last few months, now I have five Palace tops as well as three Supreme camp caps and their BDP collab shirt. I gave in to the hype, I guess. New Palace drop on the 15th, I'm finna wait on my computer for three days 'til then...

I went to this shop I had never been to before to grab some cruiser wheels, the dudes seemed cool and highly recommended Ricta "crushers" so I just kind of impulse bought them and threw them in my backpack. Got home and set them up, I hate them. Not a cruiser wheel at all, and the urethane just feels weird compared to the formula fours I've been running. Pretty bummed that I'm gonna have to drop like $30 on another set of wheels just to get what I actually wanted.

Anyway, anybody want a set of Ricta park crushers? They're the 57mm Rhino ones. They've been skated once just to the bar and back, I'll sell you them for cheap.

Not to be a dick but how the fuck could you not feel that they are too hard to be a cruiser wheels? Theyre like the same hardness as STF's. Anyway.. Go back, slap him in the face and get some ricta clouds, they the best out.

A set of these Pig wheels I got on sale. First set in forever. I used to think Pigs were the shit and I loved the way they skated. Hopefully they haven't changed the formula too much, because it was great how I remembered it.
(http://brandscycle.com/merchant/278/images/zoom/thecount54mm.jpg)
A pair of George chino's. They didn't have any Dickies at WalMart in my size, and I really needed to get new pants to skate in, so I just got a pair of these. The fit isn't as good as dickies, but they're pretty damn similar, and a lot cheaper too.

Haha it happens to the best of us. I can really recommend the clouds though, I have more mileage on the 57's I got than my car probably and they're still perfect, just a couple mm's smaller but barely noticeable. I got some 54's at the end of summer as well and they're almost as fast but still light for when you wanna get tricky with it. Both are the 78a version, would be cool to try the harder one too.

Nice, that's good to hear. I'll check them out for sure. Yeah I was just looking at the harder version this morning, it sounds like it might be a good all around wheel. The 54 mm clouds sound like pretty much exactly what I want. I had some krooked kutters in a 55 a few years ago but they chunked all to shit and separated from the cores way too fast.

Gonna set it up as soon as i get some new trucks & wheels in. btw it's P.S. Stix wood and i expected more as seeing how good they are with coming out with shapes & shit.

Picked up a Street Plant "Modern Barnyard".  

8.375 x 32.12 with a 14.25wb and symmetrical 7" nose and tail.  The tips are squareish and there isn't any taper in the board.  Tons of foot space

Included a pic of the tail behind my Magenta 8.25 tail so you can see the shape

You told me about them some months back and I got even more hyped on them, haha.  I'll probably skate them, it's still a new enough shoe to where I can find another pair in the near future.

^ Really like the colourway on that Etnies/Klein shoe.

Bought a couple of things recently:
- A TWS Buyer's Guide from 2000, for reminiscing purposes since it was the first skate-related mag I ever had. It's fun to look at all the old graphics and shoe designs.
- A Mother Jake Johnson board, I believe that's his actual mom. And her name Catherine is written in cursive on the topside. Wanted to buy this before they disappear.
- And then a Western Edition Jovontae Turner board. The artwork on this one is amazing.  I asked WE for some info about it and they said it was a one-off designed by Andrew Schoultz, who I had never heard of before, his work is great. My old phone definitely can't take a picture worthy of the graphic.

This time of year is never good for my bank account

Thought about trying some of their chinos; are they too tight or too loose?

compared to other pants i've got that are labelled slim fitting, these are like 874 dickies, way too loose for my liking, although in saying that Skate warehouse might've sent me the regular fit ones by mistake, i'm waiting for a reply on that but if you can try them on before buying i highly recommend doing so

Local shop had the new DLX Full shapes in and I couldn't resist picking up the 8.38 Full.  Not a fan of the graphics but the shape is on point.  I probably wont set this one up for a few weeks


Full shapes?? Meaning...?? More round/square nose/tail than pointed??

Thank you for the specification. Those look really good!!! Before you showed me this, the shape reminded me of a Hockey deck. Those seem to be more fully shaped. Definitely gotta pick up one of these.

Yup, the shape is pretty similar to the 8.38 FA Gino decks that I had except with a slightly longer wheelbase

I never bought anything on Black Friday until now, this was too good to pass. 30 Euros for both.

Ambassadors deck (Czech company, super good and cheap boards) 8,5 + Jessup
Minilogo wheels , 52, 101a the C-cuts (I was thinking about buying them for a long time, but never went for it until now. Hopefully they are similar to STFs).

Got the board a few weeks ago from vu but will be setting it up next. They're South Central pressed. 8.5x32x14.5. Have a feeling I'll really like it..

First pair of the CTAS Pros. Couldn't resist the all black. Even though it's canvas I'm looking forward to trying the toe cap out. Usually don't skate vulcs but I pretty much stick  to low impact stuff so I'll be alright since it has the lunarlon.

It depends if they're the first edition ones with the stretchy cotton/canvas with the velcro strap vs. the new canvas with the leather strap.

The first editions did fit like shit especially if you don't have a round head. they shape to the form of your head and feel super shallow, almost feels like you're wearing those beanies with the visor/brim on them haha!

I did however tried on the new one with leather strap and they fixed the shape on that. It would've been a whole lot better if they used that same 6 panel that everyone is using that starts of with a flat brim and not those stupid polo ones.

Yeah I got a polar wallet as a Christmas gift from my girl and it is pretty poorly put together. It's stitched all crooked and i think they used some kind of glue to put it together too because I opened it up today and some sticky liquid was leaking out the edges. Ah well I wasn't expecting a great deal but still surprised how subpar the wallet is

I just got that polar hat today. Its the new one with the leather strap. It also comes with a flat bill. I refuse to ever wear a hat with a velcro strap and pre flattened bill. The only complaint i have is that there weren't enough notches in the hat. I had it at the tightest notch and it was still too big, so I had to make a notch myself, also had to trim part of the leather strap off, because it was ridiculously long, very comfortable hat though.

I just got my 8.4 A. Allen deck with the Boys of Summer DVD, the Isle DVD, and some random patches.  Pretty stoked.  I haven't ridden a deck this wide in awhile, but I have size 11.5 feet, so it should work.

I'm always spending wayyyy too much money on skate stuff. Shoes and clothes mostly, but I'm really stoked on my recent purchases...

White dipped

Doom Sayers Club rails that look like red curbs.
(http://socalskateshop.com/images/products/thumb_62961_DoomsayersRails.jpg)

Got them in 56mm.
(http://www.tactics.com/a/78of/9/spitfire-80hd-speedies-bighead-meltdown-skateboard-wheels-clear-80d.jpg)

I got some Indy Hollows that I've had for awhile that I'm going to put on and MOB grip. Need to get some Reds bearings and some Indy soft bushings and I'm ready to build her.

Hoping I don't have to put risers on. I ride my trucks medium tightness. Maybe a bit on the loose side.

Sorry for the giant picture.

Just ordered these from Tactics...don't get why the shipping is taking almost a week but when I order shoes or skate parts they usually take 3-4 days!

Anyhow do these mush out? after jumping ship from Indy to Ace...Bone's Mediums are too hard/tight now. I've never imagined it be like that after all these years.

Do the aftermarket soft bushings come close to the Ace's Stock bushing's?

You don't just use your trucks, or is that what's hurting your wrists? Not being a dick but it sounds like you're just small or lacking strength.

Edit: I have one of these Reflex tools, it has a bearing press as well, maybe it'll help. I just use my trucks though.

They're pretty soft. They do mush out, depending on how tight you like your trucks.

To give you an idea. I'm about 200lbs. and I ride my trucks medium/loose. I absolutely love them. They have never chipped or tore on me. They have great response. There's a white bushing that Indy makes and it's "Super Soft". Softer than the red ones. I almost got them to see if I would like them, but decided against it. Rethinking that decision now...

I couldn't give you a comparison to ACE's stock bushings. Only had one set, and it was while I had a torn ACL, so I never really skated them. They're were also back when they first came out.

Stock Ace bushings are 94/92 ish, much stiffer than the indy reds.

Chocolate's Winnipeg and Toronto boards, the Green Apple X Girl board, and a Shut Tony Manfre pro board.  I don't know if I should skate the Shut board or not, opinions are welcome!  Not pictured are legit Bones Swiss which I'm excited to try out, and a pair of the original Adidas SLR shoes that I'll be skating eventually.

that's what i use...  and i use my feet for the most leverage.

left foot holds down the wheel, and the right one presses down on the flat head screwdriver i've jammed in the bearing piece stuck in the wheel.  i've done this since i'm 14 and it's never once failed me now matter what the wheel is.

same here, except I use the bearing presser end of a relfex skate tool. Works great, even for yanking a bearing out in a similar fashion. It's a bulky tool, but it helps.

Bearing press has a nub that helps remove the bearing from the wheel. Not ideal but still works well.

5BNY is probably my favorite video of the last 12 months. 

I'm a big fan of Magenta but felt like a lot of their recent clips have been repetitive and just wasn't into some of the skating (Glen Fox) but watching a full length of the entire team just ripping around Bordeaux reminded me why I liked the company so much to begin with.  It will definitely get some repeat plays

How you liking those Dylan? They really are a decent skate shoe. Last Summer some park hero was giving me shit for skating in them and I told him 'junior, I'm way too old to care about your scene politics'.

I've only worn them around the house but they feel really comfortable and everything about them is really high quality. 

They were kind of an impulse buy and don't really go with how I normally dress so I might just use them for work or events that require something nicer than regular shoes.

My Scumco has been eaten by the the snowpacolypse I think, no updates or feedback from SC or Fedex so I picked this up yesterday while I wait:

Alien Workshop 'Visitor' 8.125"x32.13 14.25" WB - actually feels a little bigger than it is yet also just a bit smaller than an 8.25 (which  I guess it is really ;)

Setting it up with some Ti 147s and wheels, want to try something new as I gave my kids my 99a spits due to complaints about vibrating feet ;)

@Xen - that was my favorite 8.125 that i've had as well.  Totally agree that it feels a little bigger than it is.  Nice nose and tail on it

THIS was my perfect board!

usually i get three weeks out of a board but i wouldn'T change it in 8 weeks.

let me know your feedback especially coming of a scumco board.
the nose and tail on that board are almost square, so i guess thats why you feel like it is wider!

have fun with it and let me know how you like it!
i wish my shop had more of those!

I've never found skate stuff at a thrift store either, but I always look when I'm there.  My mom did buy my first set up a a garage sale when I was about 5.  Kind of looked like what you scored.

Woah! Quite a comeup.

I keep going back and forth between wanting to start collecting older videos again, and just trying to go as digital as possible, and have few physical possessions. Moving into a small studio apt in a month too, so that's not exactly encouraging me to start getting more bullshit.

if i had it all displayed properly, i'd photograph it.  i'm in the process of making it all look nice.  i've got over 600 videos currently... all kinds of stuff.  i have every skate video ever on my hard drive, and one day i decided to get them all physically.  it's been a hell of a quest.  there's still so much i'm missing.

I think the ribs I got are too long for all my boards. I feel like the wheels will catch.

Yeah rib bones are pretty long, 14.5 inches long when I think pigs are 14. You could probably curve them like this to get them to fit without the wheels catching, but they'll probably look stupid. (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTI4MFg3MjA=/z/XpAAAOSwKtVWv1sW/$_35.JPG)

Skating that board right now, fucking love it, but wish it was a bit narrower, and not as long. If i ever use ribs I'll skate the board for a few weeks till the wheel bite wells are really visible, then screw the rails in wherever they won't catch the wheels.

I generally always wear an XL, I just like my shirts a little baggier always have, this fits a smidge smaller than a normal Independent Hood that most brands use.  It also feels like it has stretch in it as weird as that sounds, its soft as a babies ass to.  I'll be wearing this for days in a row.  I'd say buy it in whatever size you'd normally buy a hoody in.

Recently acquired a set of Spitfire Radial Slims in 52mm 101 duro. I'm excited for their skinny street friendly profile reminiscent of the Bones STF V3. In the rainy meantime before I can skate them I've been having some good clean carpet fun by using my board as an ab roller.  8)

Recently acquired a set of Spitfire Radial Slims in 52mm 101 duro. I'm excited for their skinny street friendly profile reminiscent of the Bones STF V3. In the rainy meantime before I can skate them I've been having some good clean carpet fun by using my board as an ab roller.  8)

Really the V3? Did you mean V2?

Been meaning to pick up a set of these now that they are in 101 but I've too many wheels as is.


Just nabbed these for chilling; I've become lazy.

I'm concerned about that picture, Tay/Coenobita, I don't know how to react to it...hope you're not using heroin, that shit ruins lives...maybe I'm getting this wrong or something. There's no way to write this without sounding ignorant/overly concerned, but it's disturbing.

Just wanted to mention that I finally bought a prized board of mine, the first DGK/JT&CO collab board. Was trying to find it awhile ago and Fongstarr politely suggested that I get the new model, but that one didn't grab me like this one did. Thanks again for the advice if you read this.

I know Koston has been getting some hate around here, but I just opened up a pair of Four Star Koston pants, and they are awesome.  I got them for $10 from the Excess Hype sale.  Perfect fit, nice stretch.  I look like I'm wearing normal pants, but feel like I'm wearing sweatpants.  I looked for more at the Four Star site.  Retail on their pants is $70.  Who in the hell is paying $70 for skate brand pants?

first stop is athens. i'll be there for around 6 weeks staying with some friends and skating some beautiful spots, it's a really under rated skate destination. from there i'm going to prague, prague to warsaw, warsaw to berlin, and then i'm going to wing it and check out as many places as i can on my way to england to visit some relatives. after around a week or so in england (doncaster, london, bristol) i'll be off to ireland to see my grandparents and hopefully find a job. i've just recently gotten my irish passport, so i'm going to try and take advantage of being able to travel around with ease and just try life out somewhere else. if any euro pals have suggestions for destinations i'd appreciate them.

Oh la la! What an interesting truck design on the red board, I wonder how they turn. Are those clay wheels on the blue one? The only non-popsicle shaped deck I've skated was a little wooden board from the 60's. Those clay wheels on hills feel absolutely hectic!

don't know if this counts. I made a photo collage of the toys from AWS "timecode" and am having it printed on a yellow shirt. Hope it turns out good and isn't printed like shit.

Had this Rudy deck back in the day.
It broke first day I got it.
This was when Crail started making decks in China.
They were very weak, you could crack them even if you land bolts.

Can you see another graphic underneath on this? This came out not long after Colin McKay left Girl.  A friend of mine had this board twice in a row and they were both painted over Colin McKay boards.

Bought these today. Been wanting to skate my black and yellow Ishod Pro colorway ones, the ones that came out before his "pro shoe", but like them too much to skate them yet. So, I found these on sale. Who knew that $63.00 would be considered a sale price one day for skate shoes.

Gonna dye the baby blue to another color. Probably black. Any suggestions??

@Moe - GREAT score on the Habitat L/S.

Speaking of Habitat, I had a major score today in the most random place. I was in TN for work today and randomly walked into a store that is eco friendly and sells a variety of random goods. Of all things, I scored these two pair of Habitat shoes - the Mesa and Guru - for $25 each. Both were my favorites when Habitat Footwear was alive and well. Major score.

 :)

No. Those are shoes I've bought earlier and were just out there on the table waiting for judgement.

The Cons CTAS Pros I'll have to sell, cuz they're half size too big for me. Went half size down instead of full size per suggestions on the interwebs and they're definitely too big for me. The Dekline Tim Tims I considered selling also as I've got too many shoes waiting to be skated, but I think I'll hold on to those. Might be the last chance to skate Deklines for me and they do feel alright and don't look half bad.

Just gotta avoid all these sales better in the future as the shoes start to accumulate at current pace.  :)

Nice score, Heritage. Did they have any 10s?   ;D I haven't tried either of those models, but would jump on them if I found them.

Snagged all these for just over $100. Does anyone know if this was his last board? Might have to keep one for the wall.
Damnit i wanted these. but the guy never answered a question i had about them. If you want to part with one holler.

chutingstar, the online store with a local warehouse, had a ridiculous april's fool sale. decks starting at 5$

Their website was being super slow, so i just went in a bought what was left... not worth posting in the sale thread because they're all gone.

Speaking of Habitat, I had a major score today in the most random place. I was in TN for work today and randomly walked into a store that is eco friendly and sells a variety of random goods. Of all things, I scored these two pair of Habitat shoes - the Mesa and Guru - for $25 each. Both were my favorites when Habitat Footwear was alive and well. Major score.

Yooooo. Is there anyway I can cop one from you. I had the board a while and meant to go back and pick up the second one ( clearance rack) but never did. I have kind of a giraffe fetish and it being a habitat it was no brainier.

Picked up a pair of the All Courts, 149 Indy hollows, and 58mm spitfire 80HD's. Ran into another slap homie in the shop! https://instagram.com/p/BDt0E3vDY3H/

Nice! Jealous on the Artos. That's the only nice colorway too IMO.

Sadly I think I'll never own those as they're not sold here and I've got enough shoes to last me a few years probably.  :)

I can dig the brown/rust ones too but I hate the black ones! Sounds like you have a pretty decent problem going on haha.

I'm skating the totem Isle right now, but in 8.38. Just my experience, but I seem to have trouble doing manuals/5-0's on my deck, not sure if I got a weird shape or the truck holes were drilled off, but other than that, great deck.

Thanks for the info, It's been a lot of time since I don't skate full price decks. I'm expecting something better than the boards I been skating from a barcelona brand manufactured by Jart

i've been slowly finding out more and more about the tape... for the record it was GIVEN to me.  not sold to me.  which makes all this even wilder...  the internet is a wonderfu, wonderful place.

i know for a fact that it was given to someone from Chris Carter himself (along with one of the little plastic bugs from before Arto's part in Mind Field - wish I'd have gotten one of those!)  I want to know why he had these tapes made... if anyone out there has a connect on Carter or even Mike Hill - PM me.

I think Rowley skates the Stage 6's. Pretty sure he posted awhile ago about how he would do anything for some Stage 6 Indy's, cause that's all he skates. Probably trade you for a bunch of product.

They were South Central, but I believe Lance said they are now Watson.

I had the Baker2G board earlier this year and hated it.

Gonna set these soft 52mm wheels on one of my old boards and get kind of a sleeper cruiser going, I've got a barely skated deck from before I stopped skating.

The wheelbase, nose, and tail were much too long for me.

70% off -> 39€. "Saved" 90€. Couldn't resist. Was home bored out of my mind recovering from a flu and I ended up to the wrong place on the interwebs.

I need to stop "saving" money soon though, or otherwise I can start a skate shop, cuz I have too much gear around. All this gear seems to last me a lot longer these days than it did as a kid too.

I would have never bought these shoes for anything even remotely close to the normal price. They'r rather outrageous IMO.

Gotta put on some white pants, a white shirt, these shoes and find my white lab coat from somewhere and go to the hospital and pretend to be a nurse as these look pretty much like nurse shoes to me.  :D

Magenta guest artist mark gonzales retro shape 8,6'
-
I had to get used to the shape first, but then it's pretty fun and not so different from my usual 8,5'
The square tail is perfect to lock in 5.0 on transition,
but at first, it was quite disturbing to find the sweet spot to scoop/pop flip tricks

just used eBay for the first time in 13 years (got burned on a broken vx1000 in '03) & got another habitat cork cruiser. These things are great, I think I saw they might be bringing them back into production soon, but I didnt wanna wait and see.
I like that its a smaller cruiser shape (7.875x30.5) I've noticed alot of shaped decks now are also gigantic tanks.
I'd rather zip than zag.

Looking forward to giving it a new graphic too.

I need to stop "saving" money soon though, or otherwise I can start a skate shop, cuz I have too much gear around. All this gear seems to last me a lot longer these days than it did as a kid too.

I would have never bought these shoes for anything even remotely close to the normal price. They'r rather outrageous IMO.

Gotta put on some white pants, a white shirt, these shoes and find my white lab coat from somewhere and go to the hospital and pretend to be a nurse as these look pretty much like nurse shoes to me.  :D
I just got the all black ones for like $60. Perfect for corporate gigs and upcoming weddings.

Yeah, the all black ones would be better for that for sure. Also got the Black suede ones with white sole. They don't look all that dressy to me, but I like them best of all the Dylan colorways. Overall, for "fancier" shoes, to wear for meetings at work and such the Dylan isn't really my cup of tea. I'd actually prefer the HUF Gillette for something smart casual, but those don't seem to be nearly as widely available as the Dylans and I haven't seen them on sale anywhere yet.

Living where you wish you lived, I think the closest Ross is about 6500 km from here, so I think I'm not gonna make the trip to Ross for the Gillettes, even if they were 0,20 bucks.  ;D

But thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to check out Ross the next time I come over to Yankistan.  :)

I also found a pair of cts mids for $8 at the thrift store near my house. I had to shoegoo the soles back on a little, and I peeled out the dirty old insoles and dropped in a pair of habitat footwear insoles I've had stashed away. Loved the last pair I had (not really for skating but just for wearing around) but had to throw them out after I stepped in a big pile of shit. Glad to finally replace them.

Didn't buy it technically, but got this as a gift from a friend not too long ago. I'm surprised at how square the nose and tail are. I know a good chunk of PS decks are pretty square, but I wasn't expecting it to be like this. Gonna be quite the change from the rounder and pointier Baker B16 shape that I usually ride.

I have similar design bearings, just not Bones. Definitely no rattle but that's the way I prefer it. Also I don't want to fuck around with speed rings (or spacers) if I don't have to. I know there's a big divide on the opinion about the necessity of spacers, but at least having the races protrude enough to not have to use speed rings should be something everyone can get behind. Getting rid of small fiddly parts is brilliant.

The thing to keep in mind as well is that speed rings and spacers exist because 608 bearings weren't designed for skateboards. They're actually for large sewing machines and stuff like that.  Extended race bearings are how a skateboard specific bearing would be designed if skating was invented today

Post by: Noble Experiment on May 20, 2016, 12:34:23 PM
Those bearings are good and using spacers is good in theory but I feel like it depends on if the space inside of a certain wheel matches with the length of the spacers that are being used. The length for both varies a lot, so sometimes if you have a situation where the spacer is too long compared to the wheel it could actually damage the bearings. I've actually had this happen before in the past and fucked up my bearings pretty badly.

Just the fact the nut sits on the race and not your shield is enough for me.....there's less contact points.....

I feel relatively confident bones and spits the cores are pretty standard.....

I get it....it's the Internet...'aha!  It's not 100% right...so it's WRONG'

Just think the design is an improvement and would beat the quality of a standard bearing...

Anyway I just bought these. First pair of Adidas ever. I've always loved everything about this shoe but HATE buying shoes full priced.
However this is like my holy grail of colorways� (I knew if I didn't get them I'd always regret it.)

Damn, still want to buy a hard copy of the GX1000 vid. I haven't seen it yet and I need Yonnie in my life.

Anyone skated the G6 Herman Vulc? They're on sale and I'm in the mood to throw money away.

i skated my 101 insaneathane today and they felt really slippery at the skatepark. if you skate any tranny the 99s should be good. let me know if you really dont like em after a few sessions and ill gladly trade my 101s for your 99s.

That's how I felt about the Spitfire F4s. Tried both, and while the 101s didn't flatspot, their hardness made them a little more prone to chip. The 99s are perfect.

On my couch, the completed collection of the OG Chocolate Bar series by Evan Hecox. Took years of searching, bidding, and many international e-mails, with one shop owner describing it as one of the most iconic graphics series in skateboarding. When I started skating I fell in love with this series but never had the presence of mind to buy the boards. It's done and I'm beyond psyched.

Also that Grosso shirt is excellent!

Dog racing was pretty popular there for awhile, because there was literally nothing else to do in Tampa. I don't know if that's the case anymore since they opened up full casinos, but for a long time that's all people had to do was go watch dogs run in circles.

144p - yeah pretty much what SFB said. Dog racing was a big part of that entire area. And I know there is a lot of negative stuff surrounding dog racing, with good reason. But for the better part of my life I've been pretty close with a family that rescues and rehabilitates racing Greyhounds. They are beautiful animals. I don't advocate dog racing necessarily, but to watch Greyhounds run is also a beautiful thing.

Wanted to put together a 2nd cruiser so paid $82 for a complete from sw:

90a mini logo wheels
thunder 147 high
reds
Ishod 8" full shape

Board is for skating. Will use some old board for the cruiser.

Also grabbed some hiker and MTE inverted waffle sole Vans for hiking and running around the forest with my dogs. Also some Pumas for chillin. All shoes were $40 or less.

Got this board this weekend. I now have 5 boards that are brand new. This will be the last board I buy for awhile until I skate the other ones I got.

Also got the HUF Soto. I usually wear an 11 cause of my wide feet, but was able to get my actual size of a 10.5 cause these are surprisingly wide. Not too wide, just wide enough for my foot. I'm amazed and really stoked on them. Good quality, too.

Haha. That's true. No board is ever unwanted though. I did just swap out my Creature for a Real, and I was not feeling the Creature. The tail was horrible. I bought it cause the graphic is sick and it was cheap. Now that board, that is unwanted. Haha. Will eventually give it to a homie who needs it, I'm sure

The Creature I just swapped out is a 8.2. Really good condition still. If you live in the Sacramento, CA area, you can have it for free.

Have no clue about bearings ;) but i changed stock barrel bushings to aftermarket conical ones and they feel great. Urethane feels little bit more "boyncy" compared to stock ones, and i'm sure you already know the benefits of conical vs. barrel bushings. I need to break those fully in to say more about overall feel, but after just one session i say these are much better bushings than indy og.
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: somethingmustbreaknow on June 19, 2016, 04:49:52 AM
from my experience thus far the aftermarkets orange conical bushings last way longer than the stock orange ones. the stock ones blew out so fast on my stage 11 149s.

Hey, you can't blame yourself for that. Anyone with half a brain and any taste in graphics would have been compelled to do the same.
If anything, it was unfair of THEM to hang it up. Like a dealer parked outside a NA meeting.

Kinda bummed that they all don't have the natural wood stain at the bottom like the picture. My 2 came assorted. Top stain is also assorted. Bought the 8.25 shape. Maybe he 8.0 is different??

Still stoked though. Came with "Fuck Trump" stickers. Haha

bought these off of a friend for cheap who has won them at a contest but gets his shoes from lakai.
i don't really need them, and don't really like the look, but i was curious what the sock bullshit is all about so i bought them.
the price was right as well. curious on how they skate, how the sock feels and how they hold up, especially with the feet stink

I think Tate is the only other person I've seen on here with a pair since they dropped. Could you give us your thoughts when you finish them? Sooner or later pairs have to start popping up at a decent price.

I wanna try them on. If they feel good, I'll buy, but only if super cheap. Doubt they are even comfortable. They're probly too narrow for me, and that Hyperfeel bullshit if stiff as fuck

Kinda bummed that they all don't have the natural wood stain at the bottom like the picture. My 2 came assorted. Top stain is also assorted. Bought the 8.25 shape. Maybe he 8.0 is different??

Still stoked though. Came with "Fuck Trump" stickers. Haha

fun fact:. Chris Coles kid makes those stickers

Really?? That's an interesting piece of knowledge. How'd you come across that??

i either saw it on Chris's or Jim T's about 2 months before they started making the board.  creep and you'll find it.

Bought this recently but still haven't dipped into it. It's 9 hours of music from 90's skate video soundtracks broken into 12x45min mixes with bites from the videos thrown in stored on a laser cut USB stick. Came with a block of wax shaped like a hi8 tape and packaged in a VHS box

not long at all.  i'd guess a few months, but it was fast.  rode for Illenium for the longest time, turned down a Toy Machine offer to stick with Illenium, but then left for Krooked.  Then Almost offered him more.

I had this board when I was younger. Bought it from DLX in SF. Was so stoked. I think it was $45, that's including grip. Those guys rule.

Loved that board. I cracked it doing a lipslide on a parking block. My friend thought it had cracked all the way across the board. He took it and stomped it. I was pissed and so bummed. Needless to say, I never liked him after that.

The nostalgia is real right now.

What size is that, by the way?? 7.5 or 7.75?? Would be cool to see the top to see the shape.

Quick questions, are the insoles removable? Also, how is the arch support?
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: unerds on July 28, 2016, 09:42:23 AM
was skeptical of them, after hearing all this about how they're nothing more than overpriced shitty generic foam, but after having developed some painless, minor clicking in my left knee i just bought a set of footprint hi profile kingfoam gold's

what a difference compared to stock insoles... was kinda worried that they'd be too spongy/squishy or soft or whatever, but they're pretty firm...

i also hate when the top layer of fabric on stock insoles would separate from the foam part, these have some nice thick woven material on top, feels breathable and they're stitched onto the base foam portion.

worth the price of admission, imo.

First shoe purchase from a skate shop in a while - I've been falling victim to the late night online impulse buys after a few drinks, so it's nice to actually walk into a shop not knowing what I'll be coming out with and get stoked on something on the wall.

Found the Toy Machine video "Suffer the Joy" for $5.99 at the local used record store. Never watched it all the way through, but I love Nick Trapasso's part, so it was a no brainer. Had a couple other videos, but nothing that was worth spending money on right now

Been meaning to post this up, Mikey Bueso's video 'Volunteers'. Another great video with raw street skating. Lannon, Spivey, Josh Narvaez and a ton of East Coast rippers. Really high re-watch value and I'd say Zach Dykes, Ross Norman, John Baragwanath have my favorite parts. It's a lot of great skating overall and it will get you really hyped to go skate.

don't worry. if you dont buy that for that price - then something is wrong with you.
i'd grab every pair of shoes suitable for skateboarding for that price.
just the color has to be some kind of low key resp. not annoying.

finally replaced my cruiser wheels after i broke them like a year ago. i got some 53m mini logo 90a's. my last spitfires were 80a and 58mm and they were just too soft and bouncy for doing tricks. these mini logos are like the perfect combination of a cruiser wheel and a regular wheel. really smooth on rough ground and still perform like a harder wheel.

Indy 139 high after skating the thunder 147 hi for 6 years. was really over the fact that they're not the same height at most high trucks.

these feel really nice but i hated the stock barrel bottoms and switched em out for the 88a conical aftermarket bushings which are way better than bones. the quality on the urethane is amazing too.

got a pair of black regular vans old schools for $25 from some bargain store. they bought out the remaining vans/nike stock from this local skateshop that closed last year and are selling it all for pretty cheap. i guess during the whole time they were selling it, two different stocks of vans were sold, so I ended up with a left shoe made in china and a right shoe made in vietnam. only difference is the width of the stitching.

my friend swears by those boards. i skated one and the graphic is just too weird for me. super slick and just wears weird. same wood as blue tile obsession (which i guess isn't being made anymore when I asked ozzie on insta).

EDIT

I also impose bought this backpack. won the auction for $9, if anyone wants this ill trade it to ya

Ztuntz show up on amazon for sometimes under 10$. Sometimes I buy a few and sell on the side. They're decent enough for the price. Made in the USA in their own factory. I'm gonna sand this down and make another dicking around board.
[close]

my friend swears by those boards. i skated one and the graphic is just too weird for me. super slick and just wears weird. same wood as blue tile obsession (which i guess isn't being made anymore when I asked ozzie on insta).

EDIT

I also impose bought this backpack. won the auction for $9, if anyone wants this ill trade it to ya

Grabbed the Josh Matthews debut Habitat board. 8.25 with woodgrain embossing effect on nose and tail. I confirmed with Habitat that it's BBS pressed. Moving forward Habitat is going to be spreading production between PS Stix and BBS. They will use PS for some special projects (cork boards, the Twin Peaks series) and BBS for some of their other boards.

Heritage: does it look pointy at all in the nose or tail or is it pretty rounded? I'm looking forward to grabbing a 8.3-8.5 alien when they put out some better graphics but need that full nose and tail that I used to love about alien/habitat.

I haven't really noticed that with the pair I have.
 I bought the "classic fit" ones which i assumed is what they call their regular fit pants and they fit slightly looser around the legs than dickies 874s. It took a bit of getting used to at first but it's not that big of a deal at all. For 11 bucks they aren't bad at all and they're definitely a good cheaper and less starchy alternative to Dickies.

Totally know what you mean...I lined up 3 Habitat 8.25. The first two are PS pressed and the 3rd is the new Matthews (BBS). The very first one is the 32.375 length which had the pointy nose. The one in the middle is the 31.125 with that full 'band aid' shaped nose. It's a really popular shape. Quasi and AWS also have used this exact same shape in their runs.

IMO the 8.25 shape they are using with BBS is a great mix of the two. It's not as extreme as the Band Aid shaped nose, but it's also not super pointy either. I know there is only so much to glean from a picture like this, but it really is a good mix:

Post by: tangar on August 30, 2016, 09:24:01 PM
Right on thanks. I'm still skating the 8.5 quasi with that bandaid shape and I'm digging it. So considering I'll be going a little bigger than the 8.25 pictured, I should be fine with it.

I bought fake Adidas Superstars for a pittance... looked good enough. If only a little flimsy like knockoffs tend to be. I don't know why I fucking bother with shoes with hard toes, they are comfortable, stable, grippy, but the shell toe squeezes my big toe really hard for skating. If I ever post something like "yours truley got some rad chuck's today...", please call me a moron.

I got the same herman junt bearings about 3 or 4 months ago, they aren't broken, but they don't roll that great either :(

Go for the bronson G3's, they've been great to me so far. Once they break in everything's golden, real fast and consistent. They even hold up to rain and dust.

I'm running a set of G3 I think four boards in. They are great right out of the box but their a magnet for hair and grime. Two of the bearings just stopped rolling. I cleaned them and put a few drops of speed cream in them. It worked good for a few days but now they just feel sluggish. They have no longevity. I'm getting the bones race next.

Around 5 months, felt them slow down after the 2nd one but I'm still running them even if I have to push a shield back in place every so often. It should also be noticed I don't do much mainteneance

Yeah I think I'm around the 3 or 4 month mark with em. They're going strong, but you've got me worried.. If they spazz out in the next month or two I'll probably try something else. I don't really do any maintenance either lol.

Sorry for the images if they're huge. I'm on my phone.

Krooked Bobby Worrest 8.18. Just a bit under 32" long. 14.38 wheelbase?? It's just under 14.4

Spitfire Cardiel Formula Four's. 52.5mm.

Haven't had F4's yet. I'm stoked to try them. And I usually get 8.25 wide boards. Skating an Ishod twin tail right now. It's 8.3 with a 14.4" wheelbase. I'm interested to see how it flips since it's the same WB, but narrow

Edit: Corrected the deminsions of the wheelbase. Not sure what I was thinking. Haha

That sounds crazy to have a WB that small. But the nose and tail must be huge which is awesome. Let us know how it skates.

Dude, I'm dumb. The wheelbase on my Ishod is 14.4. The wheel base on the Krooked Bobby Worrest is 14.38, I think.

Definitely will try and give an update. Not going to be skating this for awhile though. With how much I work, probly won't be setting this up until next spring!!! Haha

They were my normal size in most brands and I probably would have liked a half size down but I couldn't pass these up. They aren't like "slipping off my heel" big though. I have wide feet plus they have more padding than a normal CTS so that probably helps!

Those Magenta boards came out rad, might have to pick one up.

Any day now I'm about to post in the grind to the axle thread. So I got a new pair of venture 5.2 v-hollow lights sitting on ice til that day. Rebuilding a cruiser board so I got the stock parts. Oj's 58mm keyframes, shortys 1 1/4 allen, and dooks 1/8 risers. Think I'm going to wait for this board to come out. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKmLcPSg5UM/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/BKmLcPSg5UM/) Also picked up a Krooked pocket tee.

However he said it's all white and the gray on the sole near the toe is gum? can anyone find a pic?

2000. My friend texted me and said, "On the right shoe, the sole is part foam material. It's splitting a little. It's still good though. Not bad for being 16 years old."

Kind of bummer I'm pretty much not going to be able to skate them but I'm still stoked just to have them lol.

So the story goes that I brought out the NOS D3's I found in Copenhagen last year and we were skating in them and laughing about how huge they are and after a while even though there is zero board feel I kinda got used to the feeling of puffy shoes, and when we filmed a line in them I thought puffy looked kinda sick. So I thought why not try the modern puffy and decided these two would do as they were on sale and I like the look of them. Haven't worn DC's in well over 10 years but so far I dig them.

So I just got these Old Skools from a thrift store for $5. My size and as you can tell by the photos almost brand new still. However what is up with the last picture? I've never seen a sole do that before. you can't even tell when you're wearing them without walking and walking/skating just feels normal. Manufacture defect lol? By the way the second to last picture is the other shoe with the "normal" sole.

It's honestly probably a pressure point of the last owner. Some of my shoes do something similar and I spend more time on the ball of my foot/toes

I had a new pair of Sal 23's recently do that every kickflip, it drove me nuts so I threw them in a donation bin.

Had a pair of older model old skool pros have a similar problem, there was a bubble under the insole near the bend of the toe and it eventually lead to the sole doing that

After lurking that truck set up thread too much; I got some Khiro pivot bushings. small, soft. Getting the stock bushing out of my Indys was a major pain in the ass. Probably would have been easier if they were new trucks. Excited to try these out. It was crazy to feel how different they are compared to the hard plastic stock ones.
Also, got 2 more pairs of Reynolds cupsole to add to the stockpile. Not sure how much longer these are going to be made.

yes, Joust, that was me. same size, 9.5? I've now got 6 pairs new in the box. And currently rotating between 4 different colors (those grey ones from you being one of them). So I've got enough to last probably a year. But if these are really being discontinued like it appears (see upcoming shoes thread), I will take them. Black/blue? do you mean this color:

I never saw the Hopps products you're referencing, but Jahmal Williams has dope taste, so it wouldn't surprise me if he put out a similarly seductive and intriguing female graphic. Still think the Crail shirts sick tho.

And the Chocolate "Dreamers" series, was way better than that BF stuff

Sitting on a pair with the same colorway... just waiting for the right opportunity to use them up. What kills me is that they felt too good on my feet, light, comfortable, stable, snug, breathable, and I like the color and the aesthetic of the shoe. Brace yourselves for the wild, contrarian and unpopular opinion, but that "Ba" guy is kinda cool too, I guess, so there's another season for me to feel too sorry for the shoes. I'll get over it as soon as my current rotation finds its way to the trash.
[/
Same, same, and same. Difficult shoe to comprehend until you can get your hands on them. Made an audible "damn" when I slipped them on. Severely comfy and begging for a skate. The color way is very much Ladies Workout Gear Core. They also have a few pairs of the BA R/R in navy and hot pink for $65. Tempted to scoop me up and wear them in the house only.

But the salesman was a new guy, very professional and answered all of my pointless questions and acted really eager. He was probably not even 18. I felt guilty not taking anything home, so I bought a set of bushings. There were no socks I liked.

Tried a pair yesterday and that insole felt so strange... Either way, i found a pair of suciu's for cheap and I'm going to buy them anyway. I'll get used to the insole with time. Do you know if they fit similar?

Cracked my T.U. Board the other day so I figured I would take advantage of the skatewarehouse sale and grab this heroin 9.25.

Well damn, that's a nice graphic.

I thought this whole series was really cool...I wanted the Chet board of the birdcan but couldn't get the black and orange stripes.

Such a nice collection there, Heritage.

I've been considering both those Killing Floor and Isle boards for a while now, so nice.


Spent a little time on eBay and found these:

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/Sulyven/IMG_1270_zpsbncgljir.jpg)

Alien 8.125. I think it's from the Mindfield era because of the banner sticker. I plan to skate this one, but I can't really tell the nose apart from the tail. The nose is really pointy.

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/Sulyven/IMG_1271_zps9yi9znkp.jpg)

D-gar is my all time favourite, so this one will be for the wall.

really nice boards, clamy!

what shoes are you wearing on the bottom left of the second picture? habitat charters?

Did a little trade at my local and picked up these. First pair of blue jeans (indigo if you want to be specific) I've had in over 16 years. Feel pretty good so far, a little stiff skating in them but they'll break in nicely. All in all, stoked on them.

Seems like everyone goes with the conical bushings, I prefer the cylinder ones - same response but less wheelbite.

Yeah I had the conicals in the past but I like the cylinders best. They have more rubber below so when turning they dont go as far as the conical ones preventing wheelbite. I almost bailed today when I stepped on my skateboard but that's actually from not being broken in yet, but in 1 or 2 sessions they will feel great.

I use them in my ventures. They have so much more rebound and just feel better than the stock and they're the exact same size so it works perfectly.

6) Venture awake longsleeve
7) Lakai Griffin black/canvas
8 ) Girl keychain

Obviously very Crail biased. I guess this is me making sure I support the brands I like.
The keychain and stickers are for the new car I am going to buy, come January. (This is more out of: I don't feel like paying for a transmission and/or other shit for my current car)

Classics, according to the package that's all they make in 60 but the riding width is just a little bit smaller than the 58 conocals

EDIT never mind the regular conical only went to 56 the conical full do go to 58 though

The Black Friday in Brazil (it's a thing!) really blows.

They're discontinuing the little bit of skate shit they have left, other than bad completes and, of course, shoes and apparel. Such is life.

Hyped on all of these.

Vans Kyle Walkers, Doom Sayers 8.38" & snake shake tee.

Hyped to back Omar and Doom Sayers. Really appeals to me for some reason. Also the 14.5" wheelbase should be nice. Bummed it didn't come with the patch though, like they apparently did at some point. Could have used that to fix my skate backpack. Now I gotta figure out something else.

And Kyle Walker! Dude is so fucking gnarly and the shoes gave me some kind of a weird flashback to the good old times when shoes were bulkier and still very fucking nice and not overly techy. Can't wait to skate all of these. Got a lot of gear to burn through before these though.  :)

BOGO and clearance shoes

The accel square ones run a little long and the STI foam feels interesting
Accel slim's look and feel awesome. I'm happy I didn't get the OG's
Emerica Provost are really comfy, thin and light, it'd be perfect the chill in. I'm gonna skate them first cause it's been over 10years since my last pair

Picked up a polar Marta roses t shirt and the three faces long sleeve.

The fabric quality is pretty amazing and insanely soft, miles above the gx1000 shirts I bought previously.

Emerica Black Friday steal. All these for 109,92? shipped. Such a steal. Haven't had Emericas in ages, not since I started skating again. Also including the Slap favorite: Reynolds Cupsole. Been skating mostly vulcs and thin cupsoles since I came back. The Reynolds almost looks like a fucking platform shoe in comparison and is sturdy as hell. Feels nice. Interesting to see how I like it for skating.  :)

Dang that's crazy you kind of have a connection to someone that works there. I feel like with all the hype that supreme has been getting people would do anything for work for them.

Also that shirt is really dope I think it's based off the first supreme add in Thrasher way back in 1994 I think

Picked up a Chocolate board for the first time in about a decade. The G033 shape is the perfect dimensions for my short little baby legs.

Also picked up an Ishod twin tail to try out. Pretty close to my perfect dimensions so I figured it would be sick to try out. I actually went into the shop to pick up the Justin Brock x-rated board but someone was walking out with it when I came in.

picked these up on craigslist, gonna keep the gall and replace the newer version of the same graphic i had hanging. looking to get rid of the white one if anyone wants it. believe they are both from around 08? the gall is a made in usa ps stix if that helps determine any time period. other one doesnt say where its made. i could be wrong... if anyone has any old dna catalogs that they can look through and lemme know, that would be awesome.

Picked up this 8.5 Northern Co for the wall but after receiving it I found out that it has a 15" Wheelbase which is insane for an 8.5.  I'm currently back on my long wheelbase kick so this one will likely get skated now

why not just spend a bit more on some bones swiss or even the super bones reds? idk how much all those cost in total but i have had really good luck with swiss by using speed cream and cleaning em. i know a few people who've rode those diamond bearings who all had bad luck

man, totally forgot that i had the swiss six balls a couple years ago when i travelled the US- these were really good! but i seem to either get lucky with whatever bearings or no luck at all- went through a brand new set of Reds in the matter of three sessions but those shake junt abec 7s lasted me over a year! i know you cannot compare them to some swiss, but hey, the lasted! still have em in my cruiser setup!

anyway i remember the swiss six balls to feel really sturdy with a smooth roll but i am not too picky on bearings as long as they roll decently fast(i don't need the fastest bearings on earth) and they last!

Yes, but sometimes they can gouge their prices. I bought some on amazon that are the proper brand, not that in to them because they're a heavier weight. Sizing is weird too, would suggest trying them on.

a question i have long wondered. i found a pair at a thrift store once for $4. popped into an army navy store once and saw them going for $40 minimum, which in my humble opinion, is far too much to ever pay for pants ever.

Nice. 15" wheelbase on that Arto deck. I fucking hate short wheelbases, but have never tried 15". Maybe I'll get an Arto deck at some point as they all seem to have that 15" wheelbase now.

I like those graphics.  Is that a 4" nose on that board though?  Which is fine if that's your style, just looks odd in the pic.

Don't know if you skate rails a lot, but I highly recommend Powell rib bones. They're the only rails I've had that I've been able to set up on several different decks without the holes/screws getting fucked up.

Maybe it's too late for asking for a reply, but how much you paid between shipment and taxes? I'm in Europe too and I'm tired of paying 60 euros for a fucking set of spitfires. With my friends we thought about making a big order and split the costs.

Thanks

This very tote bag was crucial in making it through the month I spent in Japan. My mother now uses it as her primary bag, but the velcro decided to shit out after a months use.

If you've ever spent a decent portion of time in a country where decent sized plastic bags are uncommon, and lower denomination currency is mostly in coinage form, you can't knock the bag/coin purse.

The old pair of pants I skate in ripped at the crotch so I bought some new ones; George black chinos for 12 bucks at Wal-Mart. Almost ten dollars cheaper than a pair of dickies for essentially the same look. Might not be as durable but they'll still last a good amount of time regardless.

I feel like Dickies have a more, "working with your hands" type of look and George's have more of a "business man with a cushy office" look.

The old pair of pants I skate in ripped at the crotch so I bought some new ones; George black chinos for 12 bucks at Wal-Mart. Almost ten dollars cheaper than a pair of dickies for essentially the same look. Might not be as durable but they'll still last a good amount of time regardless.

I feel like Dickies have a more, "working with your hands" type of look and George's have more of a "business man with a cushy office" look.




Agree with SFB. No business man with a cushy office got there rocking pants from Wal-Mart.

I think I had the original ones as a kid or at least something very similar to this shoe as it looks so damn familiar to me. No recollection on how they were though. Looks super bulky now, almost like that Rodney Mullen Globe shoe level bulky.  :D

Got both boards for about 40 bucks total. B-16 baker deck of course. Favorite shape of all time. Got the hook up on one from a friend.
Got an acquaintance who's flow for Powell who skates 8.5 decks, and I stood on his and the shape was surprisingly really similar to a B16, just a few slight differences, but for the most part it feels almost the same. I told him I liked it, he told me he'd sell me one for twenty bucks, so I bought one to try out.

Also bought this for five bucks off skatewarehouse during their Presidents Day sale.

feels very nice, good grip, stable, not too slimmed down (like the slb 23 remake........), great with baggy pants (probably look like shit with slim pants).

would skate it, if i did not have a XX amount of reynolds mids

I agree, great looking shoe but they made sole too thin. Would love them on Accel OG sole.

Right? If you can't measure your own wheelbase, you probably shouldn't care.

They aren't really thick around the toe, I've only had them a day but I tied them in a few dif shoes and they feel good.
I put them in huf classics and Dylan's and they feel fine but those shoes are already well broken in. Put in a new pair of Accels and they work in there nicely too. The heel is thick but it's not bothersome.

how bulky is that thing on your ankle? i just sprained my forward foot and was thinking of trying this thing out, most braces make my shoe look like its inflated as shit.

Around the ankle part its a little puffy , nothing that would be noticed under pants (Unless you're duffel), the foot half that sits in the shoe is minimal, i loosened the laces very slightly but could easily go my normal lace tightness.

If you do try one, i'd say avoid getting it from Etcetera directly, they seem to have shut down from what i could see while looking into the brace before i bought one, i lucked upon one in a small at a local shop. have yet to try skating in it but it certainly does keep the ankle/lower shin area fixed which took a minute to get used to walking around

Also interested to know, there was a sale on these awhile ago and I've been looking ever since. Even though the way these shoes look make me feel like I'm not talented enough to wear them.

8.6x31.38 14.25 wheelbase

Actually I just measured it again and it looks more like 14.38. It's kind of on the fence between the two.


Jesus, now I decided to measure the length because it looked longer than the 31.38 it said it was and its actually 31.75.

got these amongst a couple other pairs of pf flyers from ruze shoes...four pairs ended up being ~120, considering these ones alone retailed at $110 i'm pretty hyped. been wearing these around and they'll probably skate good (i've skated three or four pairs of center hi's and they've treated me very well).

How did you go on the sizing? I normally wear 11, but i got 10.5 and they are still big, i tried on a 10 too, should have gone with that.

In all of my experiences with Converse they run a size big.

I got an 8.5, usually wear a 9. Trying on Chucks etc 8.5 does feel slightly big but 8 is too small, I've been convinced for a while that Converse shoe shapes are the real problem in that they're made for people with long pointy feet, which I do not have. I actually got them with the extra 9% Ebates thing plus another $10 for signing up, which technically made them come out to $27.

Apparently they all look like that. I thought it'd be a slick or maybe have a clear sheet of the heat transfer shit on top of everything, not an intern with some gorilla glue. That's the kind of shit you see a sample of and are supposed to say "we aren't doing the hologram boards because they look like shit"

Apperently they have no issues doing such a thing.

They really should have done a different  process like sfb said. It's really fucked.

It's too bad, that's my first FA board and I really like the idea for the graphic and the shape, but I can't back a company putting shit like this out. So that's my last FA board as well

Has anyone ripped the hologram off or skated a board until it came off? I wanted the AVE Terminator board, but immediately told myself, "No," after I saw how fucked it was. I would not be surprised if they fucked up a batch of boards and added the hologram shit to salvage/sell them.

The guys at Pitcrew told me FAs split color plys is the reason a lot of the decks delaminate or break really easily. I think they essentially just cut two different top plys and glued them together, correct me if I am wrong though

Big Baby Jesus, I never had Formula 4s so I can't really compare. I actually never had any wheel from the major brands dunno why, I guess I like to try the smaller companies. ahah But I'll do a review on the wheel thread later for sure.
Titus sucks.

Thanks and for the info but I had a horrible experience with Titus.

After 10 days I contacted them to know where was my package, and I  got the same info I could find by myself clicking on the tracking.

5 days later and tired to wait I called DHL and they told me that the package never left Germany because it didn't had the address... WTF

I Asked them again how I should proceed and I got my money back without any reply. After an angry mail from my part I got a 5% discount... Ridiculous coming from their mistake.

Probably in Germany works well, but my shipment to Spain was a disaster..

Will be setting this up soon. Guru's new deal, the board brand is called Birch. I don't know who is pressing them. The shape is pretty straight forward, similar to BBS shape, and the concave is moderate to flat so I'm pretty hyped to set it up.

Have heard so many stories about their shady business over the years, but that skatebus tour in barcelona was the last thing for me that turned me off. I'd like to say back in -03 or somthing like that Titus organized these charter bus tours from germany to barcelona. It was basically hundred of kids to arrive in one spot with that bus, leaving shitloads of litter after them and moving on to the next spot. Locals were super pissed because those kids shut down so many good spots, and police were getting more and more annoyed by the skaters. I think atleast partly because of Titus and his grom tours skating was illegal in bcn for few years and people were getting more and more tickets for skating...

Edit: Also SKATAN, please review those Crupie's. I just re-watched their video, and I love the team, the vibe, and the price is pretty good. Plus I always hold your opinion to a high standard.

Well if I could make a request actually.


Can you post a picture of the shape (I know I can just google product shots but I think pics irl are much better), tell us how hard they feel (I know they are 101s but I've had 101s that feel good and some that just feel slow and mushy despite them being super hard lol), and how easy they slide/slide ability.





PS, I don't mind it but Curpie's logo always make sure me think of Axions. Just like when I saw a pair of Reeboks like this in Ross down an isle just sticking out enough to see the logo and I got giddy for a second that I found a pair of Axions lol.

Yeah, the axle bolt has that screw thread but probably I got lost in the translation ahah I fucked the thread on one of the sides trying to rethreat them. Nuts aren't the problem because I got new ones, It's the axle that got perma'fucked.

How much? Fuckin droors was the best. I had hoodies very similar to this, and I still have the droors 43 jersey somewhere.
[close]

around 110 $

Wow! eBay.??? I need droors in my life. With early nostalgia running high I thought you would have said $300 ish.

I'd pay $110 for that in a heartbeat

like a swedish version of ebay called tradera.
i have found 4 droors jackets and a pair of droors pants there. all from different sellers (?), all super cheap too. this jacket was far the most expensive one..

Will be setting this up soon. Guru's new deal, the board brand is called Birch. I don't know who is pressing them. The shape is pretty straight forward, similar to BBS shape, and the concave is moderate to flat so I'm pretty hyped to set it up.

hit up domestics to see if they ever do custom work (38x36 in pants) and they said yea, so if you ever want a pair just email them. super stoked to be supporting them, never thought id have the opportunity since most of the stuff on their site stops a couple sizes too small for me

Some store on eBay called Boardparadise. I think I've actually gotten some stuff there before as well, they usually have just about everything for standard prices or cheaper. Lots of obscure shit too. Almost got some black panther bearings there just off the nostalgia

Get the cheapest DVD you can find at Walmart or an electronics store at a mall. They can play DVDs from other regions and and discs that were not burned properly. I bought a shitty Memorex to play bootlegged DVDs a decade ago.

2 more pairs of the best shoe there is.

This is all I've skated for almost 3 years now. Probably had close to 15 pairs.
Currently have 2 pairs in the rotation.
And with these most recent acquisitions; 6 pairs on deck, in the box.
So I should be set for a year or so.

I just bought a pair of Gillettes, but they look used. Parts of the toe area are scuffed as if someone did 360 flips on them and then put them back in the box. The soles have visible damage but are pretty clean. Has anyone had a pair in suede? I want to get store credit to get something else, but don't want to argue if they're just made shitty.

I have a black suede pair sitting in the box still. Haven't worn them apart from trying them out. I can't remember having any issues with them (or any of my leather Gillettes). I can make a closer inspection later on if you want.

They do. And sadly they seem to be the most common bolts in many shops around here. Allen all the way for me, but I'll rather take philips than these.

Been using a set for a year and a half, no problems but they were the only 7/8 silver hardware I found recently

Mine stripped right away, I don't think I'll use combi bolts again unless I really don't have a choice. So gross looking too

Picked up a pair of Plus Reserve bolts and they're the same thing. Not sure if these also have the problem they have where the bolts stick out and you have to force them into the deck.

Decided to actually try giving bearing maintenance a try rather than just buying new ones whenever they get bad. Was actually very satisfying and it's made a big difference!

I do it when it's already too late. I've normally cracked a cage or something before I remember to clean them.

I changed wheels recently and saw some rust on my accels so rinsed my bearings - taking the cages in and out is annoying so just take the shields off- rinse the bearings in acetone, dry em well and then rub the shields clean with rubbing alc. so worth it for swiss's


Here's the shit i got recently.


(http://www.tactics.com/a/7fje/9/royal-keychain-tool.jpg)

not the most ergonomic but saves a ton of space to take with me on the go- if i need to tighten some bolts during a sesh its nice. Not practical to setup a board with though.


(http://www.tactics.com/a/850j/2/spitfire-formula-four-radial-slims-skateboard-wheels-white-99d.jpg)

So for the f4's ive tried classics, classic slims, classic wides, conical full and now these radial silms. so far there pretty awesome. probably will revert back to the classics as always though haha wanted to give these a go after seeing a few of you PALs posting em on the set up thread.


(http://www.ultimatedistro.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/DEATHLENS_PRODUCTs_-1.jpg)



had a cheap clip on fish eye. a homie of mine gifted me the VX handle made by death lens so i figured i'd get this. HUGE difference in quality.

I'm sure there's more cost effective ways to go about it, but this thing along with acetone and speed cream literally brought my Swiss 6 back from the dead.  I got over eager to skate during the spring thaw here in MI and one of the bank spots I regularly skate had a bit of ice with a ton of water trapped beneath on the lip of the bank.  After that session my wheels were literally seizing up.  Bought the cleaning kit, speed cream, and acetone and I'm good as new.  Way less cost than a new set of swiss too.  I suggest just taking the shields off though.

You really don't know difference until you ride set of decent bearings. Swiss are smoother,longer lasting and they seems to roll further than cheaper ones, less friction. Within last two years I've skated reds,bronson g3's and now I'm on set of regular swiss and the difference is like day and night.

The deck feels super poppy. Like my first ollie on it was just float-y but that may be because I'm used to high ass Indys and these Thunders are a lot lower.


The only thing that's different from most decks I've ridden is the nose is pretty round and the tail is more squared off but after 5 minutes I was in love with it. Concave is on the medium/lower side but I like flatter decks anyway.


Over all very impressed after my first skate down to the store for some food and shit.

Awesome, thanks for following through with an update. I've been eyeing a few Elements but haven't pulled the trigger. For more comfortable making the buy now. I've always been skeptical of the helium and fiberlight boards because it sounds like it would make them less rigid and poppy.

Just bought an 8.2 Daniel Spangs sour board

im skating and 8 right now to force myself to start flipping my board again but now everything above an 8 feels huge. Now im stuck in between wanting to skate this sour board and wanting to keep skating an 8

Wanted to get a whole new truck/wheel setup, but the locals only had thunders in hollows and silly colours.

I normally don't dig coloured wheels, but these were the exact size and shape I wanted (53mm radials), I like green, and I like buying stuff in person.

I ordered mine on from Active on their 30% off sale last week. Ordering direct is is expensive cause JK doesn't have infastructure for free shipping. Streetskateshop.com also has a bunch, I was looking there at first. It feels like shops don't order them that often or maybe they just always sell fast.

Yeah I got a set of these a few weeks ago I've been enjoying them. Same turn but less wheelbite, even with upping my wheel size by 2mm.

Put it on the microwave for 30secs, then push the insoles out. The heat melts the glue enough to be easier to take them out.

I found those matchcourts on the outlet here aswell but when I actually considered getting them my size was already gone. Maybe next time.

I still have a bunch of Analog jeans, mostly Arto's, and even though I never wear them anymore they're still some of the best pants I've ever bought. I have a pair of 32 waist Dylan's if anyone wants them haha

Feels really good. Lined on the inside but not the sleeves. I can button the top button and it doesn't choke me. I have a hat that's lasted years from them and their tshirts are good quality as well in my experience.

Haha, same size as the ones I got. Because they where from a "fancy" rthrift store not sure if I should skate them or maybe try my luck on ebay and make money. Kinda funny walking out of the store and telling the cashier they undersold them.

Suede/Canvas on sale for $38 @ DC

Super light, and just enough ankle coverage that I shouldn't tear myself up.

It was a toss up between these and the Adidas MJ Match courts...the MJs were a hair taller (better coverage) but felt really clunky, especially the rubber clown toe, way too much rubber.

Those socks are nice.  I like how they're really snug on the mid-foot.  It feels like you get more support.

Dude the same thing happened to me too! I bought a pair of the original Gravis Dylan shoes in brown suede from one of those kind of stores for $50 two summers ago. I never wear them but back then they were selling for 2-3 times as much on ebay and now god knows how much people are selling them for now.

brixton quality is pretty rad i would say....my local gets lots of brixton stuff and all my buttoned shirts (what you call em correctly?) for a nice evening out are brixton and the cotton is soooo good! really great fit and they look better for longer than most hilfiger/ polo stuff i see around on people!

Got the burgundy color way. The heel feels pretty high and the shoe feels snug and not very flexible. Might cop the black pair to skate.

Yeah the burgundy ones look nice too, they were my second option. Im just gonna wear them around for a couple months while I skate the other shoes I have but they'll definitely get shredded eventually. If they feel good enough though ill probably get tempted to buy another pair to skate in...

Found these. Organika chinos. Love these fucking pants. Brand new with tags on.

Also, found a pair of eS Bobby Worrest Signature Jeans. Grey, faded. Brand new with tags on at a local shop when I was visiting Napa, CA. Can't find a pic online of them...

Pants were buy 1 get one for 1/2 off. So stoked!!!

Nice Haul Heritage! Have you noticed Huge shape differences in the Isle boards. I stood on an 8.25 at my local and it was super flat. Then I stood on the same one at another shop and it had pretty steep concave.  I want to get a Chris Jones board but cant pull the trigger because with my luck ill get a flat one.

I�ve never had skate jeans before but I got these Krew Slims from a thrift store and they are the best jams I�ve ever had. Perfect balance of being nice and slim (usually �slim� pants are waaay too baggy) without feeling like nut huggers. I don�t think I�ll ever not get these from now on.


(http://static1.ladolcevitashop.com/9912-thickbox_default/pants-krew-k-slim-dirt-bomb.jpg)



And I got these python pack Ellingtons for $25 at a Ross when they retailed for like $130. Best deal I�ve ever gotten and they skate super good. The translucent gum sole is too sick as well.

White NB's are nice and fit well.
Sand NB's are nice and felt very comfy at first but the top back has been rubbing against my Achilles tendon, which sucks
Black NB's are way too small, can't wear them (size 11 fit like a 10.5 or 10)

Vincent's are chill, fit fine, maybe just a tad tight on top of my foot, but that should get better once the insoles wear in a bit.

Idk if I'm going to actually skate the NB's but the Vincent is gonna be my next skate shoe.

The only ones with tongue centering straps are the Black NB's, the rest dont have any.

Picked up the grey ultra ranges in a size 9, which is the size i always get with vans and holy hell they're way too snug. I think the shoe is overall a lot more narrow then say the Walkers or Crocketts. I tried wearing them out and maybe have the patience to break them in, but my feet were in PAIN. It felt like vans were trying to add more arch? or maybe it was just the sizing. Im going to try and exchange them and see if its just the size, if not, looks like im going back to kwalks.

Not really a skate product but it was made by a skater. Was at the SF Book Fair last week and grabbed a copy of Ben Gore's new zine. 1 of ten made by hand with all prints and a hard cover. My cell phone would not do it justice so no photos but it's pretty sick.

Ok here's the deal with me and converse sizing. I almost exclusively skate Nikes and am a 10 in everything. With Cons CTS, 9.5 is slightly too long, and 9 is a little too small. There's no happy medium with me and that shoe. With the Jack Purcells, a 9.5 is a perfect fit like a size 10 Nike would be. Hope that helps. I'll get a few more pairs of the Polar collabs, supposedly Purcells will be in the regular skate catalog this fall/winter.

I've had this shirt for 4 years and its still perfect and i only paid $10 for it at a gap outlet store. striped pocket t shirt in an xxl that miraculously fits like an xlt which is perfect. usually xxl shirts are square and look retarted on me, but for some reason this one is great. i always want to buy some more when i see them on sale but am afraid they won't fit like this one.

I have a yellow Independent x Brixton t-shirt and the material went a bit shit right after the first wash. Fucking synthetic mixed with cotton. Got those small bits of lint(?!) on it right after the first wash and it's only getting worse with every wash. I fucking love the shirt otherwise but I don't want to use it as it's getting worse and worse. I don't understand why anyone would use synthetic & cotton mix for making anything as that always happens that material. First Brixton purchase and that pretty much put me off from buying more from them.  :-\

Indy 169 hollows, Fos Mob grip with the eyes, Bones Reds, Spitfiter Formular 4 53mm radials, and some Lakai Freemonts. As well as a shitty tool

*Edit: Gave into the urge, picked up the Jason Lee Blind re-issue (hoping deck isn't so shitty), Modus ABEC 7, Modus Bolts, and the Creature hat that says Hang in There with the image of a noose.

Also, tool is so shitty that the scredriver doesn't come out of the tool.

Just copped these dunk low pro warmth packs. An oldie but a goodie. I'm not going to skate them though until after winter.

Not really sure where to ask this and don't want to start a new thread.


Does anyone know of a skate company that sells blank tee 3-packs? Analog used to do this and they were great quality and wouldn't shrink. Not really a fan of Hanes/FotL/Beefy T's/etc.

Get the Kirkland 5 pack, they'll last you a decade. Run kind of big though.

Found this Snack board at Atlas after a work thing in San Mateo and couldn't resist.  I like the graphic so much I'm almost reluctant to skate it.

$10 dollar discount is just a first time customer offer.  I bought some underwear, which are really good, and a couple of t's.  I'd call them a mid weight, but leaning towards light.  They feel pretty damn good, not 100% cotton restrictive or weird cut.

Snagged an Anti Hero Daan board today. For as much of a Deluxe fanboy that I am it occurred to me that I've never actually skated an Anti Hero board. Also got a new pair of Footprint Gamchangers. I went awhile without because I wanted to convince myself that I didn't need them but I'm a stupid idiot and I need them.

Went through the same thought process before I got a pair of Kingfoam Orthotics and I feel like an idiot for not getting a set years ago.  Interested to hear how you like the Gamechangers.

These are actually my third pair. They really do work, I just went through two pairs back to back and wanted to see what it was like to skate normal insoles again. But after getting a heelbruise on a not very high drop I knew I had to go back.

I've never had the Kingfoams but I really believe in the Gamechangers. They're not really squishy or too bulky or anything. I just feel a general sense of support, which is nice in the thinner shoes I tend to wear. Plus everyone's feet/walking patterns/etc are different so the whole oven molding thing you do is super cool so that you get support exactly where you need it.

Tried the regular kingfoams. Super comfy but lack support, after putting my feet through regular vulc shoes it's messed up my arches and sticking to Gamechangers. Orthics are good but after a while my arches would burn, a problem I don't have with gamechangers

I did the same recently, pushing around on them I can't say I'm sold. There's definitely a lag before you start turning. I wish they'd just make a slightly higher thunder with an extended base plate, it would be hands down the best truck.

I wish the same thing, I like everything about Thunders except the wheel bite (even with 1/8" risers). I will see what they feel like when I can skate again, overall I am excited to try them.

My only complaint was your sock bunching up a little bit with the insole but that only happens when you put the shoe on. Once it's on they are fine. I loved them and want to buy the black high tops next. Might have to skate my samba ADVs first to justify the purchase.

I skated the classic white leather color of the Superstar ADV for about 2 weeks before I couldn't stand them.
To me, they start looking really bad after you skate them, probably because they were white leather but I also shredded the laces very quickly.

I also have very sweaty feet, so after about 10 minutes my foot would be sliding like crazy on the insole and my heel would slip out of the back of the shoe when pushing and walking. I actually felt like the Adiprene was too high and mushy and very unstable.
Overall I just don't think the shoe holds its shape very well and it's a giant miss just like the way they designed the Stan Smith Vulc. I'm not sure who's foot it was designed for or who the hell did sample testing.

After reading about Jc taking zumiez for all they're worth in the sale gear thread, I figured I checkout what cheap welcome boards were up, found one in the shape I like for $35 so i snagged it, it's gonna sit at the back of my stack of boards for a while but hopefully it has a good bottom ply stain I can strip back.

Picked up a GX long sleeve from a uk shop that was on sale too

If you're not already, do yourself a favour and use spacers with them. It helps prevent too much stress on the cages meaning they're less likely to crack.

Sure, spacers are in place. But thanks for the advice!

My new theory is to buy them directly from Powell because then you can buy an extra or a cage which they sell in singles....

That's actually not a bad gimmick for a company....sell a set of 9 so you have an extra....

haven't got them yet, ordered online (no local shop has them)

I've skated regular blazer mids, gt blazers, and bruins so I figure it would be kind of like those. bruins were pretty tight around my feet which is perfect for me. felt like a sock. blazer grand taylors were looser than bruins, but still nice. blazer mids were some of my favorite shoes. loosest out of all, even with the elastic tongue centering thing. Only reason I purchased the non gt blazer ones was because they look to have the blazer mid sole which has a thicker herringbone than the taylors. my gt ones wore out in about two months while the mid's were still going after like 4 months. plus, the soles are thicker in height so they look cooler Imo, just a personal thing. ill report back when I get them haha. fingers crossed they don't give me blisters

Finally got it! For some reason Tactics was able to ship it to Finland for only $10, while pretty much all other places charge around $40 for shipping.

Anyway, I'm well stoked. Watched Misled Youth today before going skating and it got me really hyped. I fucking love Zero videos!  :)

Been hyped on State since they started. Finally got myself a pair of pairs.  :)

Both feel nice on feet. Only tested them out in the house a bit so far, so can't say much else. Liking the Elgins more but the Hudsons aren't bad at all either. I really like the simple and clean design. If they skate good and don't blow out too easily, I'll definitely get some more. Not stoked on all their colorways but some of them are really nice.

Do the elgins run the same size as the Hudsons? I have the Hudsons but think I prefer the look of the Elgins more.

Kinda. The Hudsons are a tad bit more loose all around and the Elgins are more snug. Both are size 11, which is what I normally wear and I don't think I could comfortably fit a size bigger or smaller in either. The fit is noticeably different in these.

describes the sizing pretty perfectly. I take a 10 in vans and while the 10 in states almost feels like a 10.5 lengthwise it certainly doesn't in the width hence I couldn't do a 10.5, nor a 9.5. I guess we'll see what they're like once they're broken in...

i love seeing people find stuff like that.

i found a shorty's 'tony the tagger' setup recently, kinda scratched but you can still make out the graphic really well. came with some late 90's thunders and some wheels that i couldn't figure out the name of. if i go to the used sporting goods/thrift stores in the wealthy area, there are a lot of boards from i'm guessing the THPS craze days that were used once and lost in the garage.

I started skating slims as a reaction to those shaped Mandersen wheels they did a few years ago. I'm a heavy tailslider and those Mandersens were just too much surface area I was sticking to everything. I went slim and could slide for daaaaays. I'm on whatever those last Evan Smith's and current Daan wheel are and they're fine but I love them slims.

I had to ask the boys. It is indeed, and co-designed by McD and Ryan McGuigan. Fun fact, the apple was originally supposed to have a leaf on it.

Always liked their collab but never got anything from the collection, so when I found this on eBay and couldn't resist.


Also not really skate related, but I got some new pants from Old Navy and lemme tell ya, for the price they're pretty great. Good fit, durable, reasonable price. Especially if you like slimmer pants, their chinos rule.

The DV8s had the ankle strap. One of my favorite shoes. I think it was freshman year in high school when I had them. Just like you, as a real young grom, I had many a pair of the canvas and sometimes suede basic VSW, thanks to Mom and TJ Maxx.

So I bought this complete on Amazon for $15. I see civilian, reliance, siren decks selling for under $15 on Amazon all the time. So I figured this would time to check them out cause the same distro puts out H-street reissues.
(https://i.imgur.com/e6pNrRYm.jpg)

The deck feels solid, not BBS solid, but it doesn't feel like it'll snap right away. If you guys ever got one of the really cheap dwindle boards before, it feels like that. The parts are super cheap. The wheels roll pretty well on my apartment parking lot. The trucks are shit. They feel and look like they'd break. I'd get it for a kid.

I also bought a new helmet in preparation for indoor park season for pretty cheap from someone who used to own a skateshop in town, and when we met he also sold me a brand new set of Thunder 151s for 20 bucks.

Fellow slap pal and I went to this huge outlet mall checking for cheap stuff. I never go in Pac Sun but they had this whole section of shoes for $34. They had the Huf Soto, Boyd, and like four different color ways of the classic Hi and Los. Nothing in my size I liked but surprised at the selection. Also a bunch of Adidas and and State I think.

I'd love to see that board's shape after it's been gripped and set up.  Also what size trucks are you gonna ride with it? been thinking about picking one up for a while.
[close]
Thanks! All I have are indy 144s so I've been trying to find a similarly shaped board but just a little smaller. 
It's going to be a bit of a magic carpet ride as I have 8.5 trucks.  I will post a photo when I set it up.

Check out the Chico big boy jr. It's 8.75 but tapers a lot, I think 144s would be perfect.

That board is so clean looking, has a great shape, and is about as iconic of a graphic there has ever been. Really like that base color. That or navy is my favorite Idk if any other logo represents a company better.

I feel you on that one man. I was trying to get my shop to get the krooked in the same shape but it isn't available anymore, so this is the next best thing. I've got a thing for orange boards, especially orange top plies. this one has a navy top ply. still so stoked.

I've never skated a Lifeblood and it's been quite awhile since I rode a PS Stix plus that Lockwood fella is a ripper and it was on sale. I've been in the Accel OGs since last year but I'm about 1/4 way through the ones I'm wearing and only have one more pair in the box. I haven't seen any great deals on the OGs recently so I just snapped up some of the Accel SQ for $23.63@ shipped on the Daily Dose.

Taking it back to the 8th grade... I've been stoked on skate shoes lately. Like being able to look down at my feet and be like "yep, skate shoes." DC's, 'Es, and so forth. These were cheap and give me mad nostalgia.

I posted this in the what shoes are you wearing thread and I didn’t technically buy them (birthday gift) but...

Just got these. I fucking love slip ons and the gray is super clean. Also kind reminds me of the OG Dylan Gravis shoe.

bones swiss and hard luck ceramics
excited to take the pepsi challenge
[close]
Please keep us updated, my next bearing purchase is depending on you.

sorry for the delay, waited for my wheels to die so i could set up freshies

hard lucks in f4 conicals- out of the box- clean look- shields on both sides like bones labrynth- which i suppose i put one bearing in backwards? not sure if that actually made a difference as to how they spin. break in period was short, not more than a few hours.
only issue ive had after a few months is a shield has popped off a bearing which is funny because it didnt alter the speed of the bearing. still maintain great speed with few pushes. im glad i picked these up, giving someone else a try.
the real pepsi challenge will be when they gunk up and i clean/re-lube them. they didnt come with any info on that like bones do.
all in all they seem pretty comprable to swiss as long as they can be cleaned and recycled the same

i also picked this up (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1202/6102/products/polar-hjalte-halberg-beast-mode-1991-shape-deck-9-25-1.jpg?v=1499779297)

im wondering if i can pull 159s with wider wheels or if ill be hoverboarding
i can always use an excuse to get more trucks

Six balls are awesome. Been skating a set since July, still good as new. My only problem with (any) bearings is that pollen season has detrimental effects. I am talking a couple of weeks skate before they need maintenance.

8.25 WKND board. I haven't been skating much and when I started again recently my 8.5 felt gigantic. I figured a good way to really start off skating again is with a new board and new wheels (Spit Classics 53mm that I already had). Post to the set-up thread coming soon.

Theeves are the best trucks that nobody cares about. I absolutely love mine though, they're the most well-rounded truck in my experience and I've skated multiple sets of Thunders, Ventures, and a brief stint with Indy's.



As for shit I've bought recently, I just caved on BestBuy's early Black Friday sale and got one of those Death Lens kits for my iPhone for half off & a used handle for half price on eBay too.

The opposite, the silica is absorbing all the moisture to prevent the trucks from swelling and buckling and getting all soggy.

I never knew about that graphic. Javier Hernandez's LOCAS is a big part of my emotional education and one of my favorite novels. I'll always be infatuated with Margarita ( & Esperanza & Teresa & Isabel & ... )

Haha, this graphic wasn't actually drawn by Jaime! It was drawn by Devin St. Clair aka John Keester. That might be why they look different. Also Cosme, I love your work too man.

not always unfortunately...i went in again trying to cash in on the busenitz pure boosts that i had stared at for weeks and was hoping to get $129.99 back but the manager who helped me knew that they were extra 50% off. plan foiled. best bet is to hope for some younger employee who has no fucking clue what they're doing (edit: they all don't know what they're doing, so i'd say it's a 50/50 shot if it works). but i turned that $88 into 149 hollow's, CTAS, dickies, adidas for my womanlady, and a bunch of other shit that I clearly don't need.

i have a pair of etnies jameson HT's that are too small on me that gotta go back too, so I'll be trying again no doubt.

Sigh... I do this once a year.  Fall rolls around, I decide I’m sick of my hoodies, go to my favorite shop like a week after they get all their fall shit in, so everthing is definitely full price, and I pick my favorite one because I’m a grownup god dammit.

Just bought the pink/purple Bam board of Elements site. Haven't bought an element board in over a decade but I wanted this deck as a kid and never bought.

Thought it was kinda funny that Element requires you to tell your gender when making a purchase.

Is there a gender fluid option. If not you should report them.

picked up these mulder dunk hi's from the local nike outlet, they were 39.99 with 20% off, so i got them for 32. pretty good price, they had a bunch of sizes and they also had the piscopo black leather blazers. first time getting dunks, might skate them, might just chill in them.

I rarely get anything on sale because it’s usually the shit you see in catalogs and think, “Who the fuck actually wants that shit?

I got a jacket, and it has a hole in the left pocket. Also, the drawstring (or whatever it’s called) came out in the dryer...paid full price and didn’t even try it on. I ripped off the tag and threw away the receipt within a couple minutes of getting it. Shops probably love me but I hate myself.

I ordered a pair of Chucks, and a pair of the State slip ons from that sale. The order went through fine, and then they e-mailed me the next day saying neither one was in stock and my order was cancelled. Different sizes though, so maybe you'll have better luck than me.

i didn't want to start a new thread but figured someone might have some insight. So i ordered some gear off Socal and its been over a month and it never showed up. They were super helpful and did what they could but at this point i put in a missing mail form with USPS and i doubt it'll ever show up but has this happened to anyone else? do i just kinda have to come to terms with throwing money down the drain or has it ever worked out for anyone?

My Dogtown Bigfoot came in and I skated it.  It's 12 wide and has no concave mellow tail and shy of 16 wb (i measured it). The no  concave feels amazing.  The mellow kick is rad cause you can ride on the kick tail without feeling propped up.  I've got 56 gslides on it with indy 169s.

ellingtons skated pretty good!
definetly different to all the other stuff (cupsoles too) that supra does, wich mostly feel cheap to me! ellingtons felt quality, especially the sole with the foam.

i have that exact shoe!

picked em up at my local shop. feels grippy and after wearing them for a couple of days the sole is still more supportive than vulc soles usually feel to me....feels a little harder maybe and did not flop out at all. very solid feeling for a slip on!

Post by: Elderly Gentleman on December 28, 2017, 06:30:14 AM
I just ordered two items the other day.   Due to it being cold as balls here at the moment, the only option to skate is the indoor park downtown.  It's a pretty good place, but it's slick as shit!  So to hopefully avoid another hipper (swear I get one every time I've ever skated the place), I ordered some super soft, cruiser wheels.  OJ III Hot Juice Minis (55mm).  Hopefully they will keep the board from sliding out from under me.

Also, I've been skating a set of Bronson G3's for quite a while now.  I must have been lucky because they've felt fast and smooth the whole time to me; but I've been reading all of the hate for them on here and it got me a little paranoid that maybe I just "think" they are fast and working right.   I've seen some love for the Indy blacks and I found a really good deal on a set so I ordered them to see if that will be an improvement.  I think I'll put the G3's in the Hot Juice wheels for the occasional trips to the indoor park when it's cold or raining and put the blacks in my normal F4's for daily use.  I hope it's an improvement.

Copped a pair n was feeling em so  I grabbed another pair. Leather lined, a stash pocket and they tossed in some extra laces, I'm pretty hyped on Reeboks attention to detail and they seem like they'll skate great.

nike gave me $130 gift card for my dunk elites that I bought for $60 and fell apart and I was able to get 3 pairs of shoes with it because of the extra 25% off sale shoes. Picked up the green blazer mids, the black blocks gt blazers and those weird red and white dunk highs with the shitty patent leather

Got some Dylan slip ons on sale. Never had a pair before so I thought I'd grab a pair while they're still around.
(https://i.imgur.com/0X5biTC.jpg)

Fit is so much looser than the lace Dylans. Tested them briefly and I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to skate them. Dunno if going half size down would have been for the best or if changing insoles and using thicker socks will help. It's a nice looking shoe and I love that it doesn't have laces but it remains to be seen if I can make them work for skating. 🤔

I had the same problem , they are so narrow at the toes it leaves room. I put some thicker gel insoles in them and it made them perfect for me.

I was on volcom pants for a couple years then i realized the quality was ehh and I kept having to patch them. I've been on dickies and carhartt lately. For dickies I like the 873 I think they are labeled as slim straight and they are a pretty normal fit. I couldn't get down with the 874 fit. The Carhartt line is a little more confusing from what I noticed the "relaxed" fit is more normal and the standard work fit is baggy. I got a few pairs of the stretch twill relaxed fit and I like them. I would say try them on in person I've gotten mine at either the army surplus store or a fishing/ outdoor sports store

Some of the best pants I've ever had are the Dickies flex slim straights. Would recommend those. Think these are the ones I got below.

haha, who, me ? fucking love old Jovontae footage man, I do late shoves every day thinking about those clips wishing I could be that effortless, I don't need no shirt. although I have to say, I did financially succumb to aging skateboarder nostalgia by getting this for x-mas (well, my family did), coincidentally looking quite in tune with my 411VM Best Of vol.5 appreciation thread. now on my days off, I can fully look like I yearn for the old days and don't skate anymore :

OJ Hot Juice 60mm (I skated on gravel with these which was pretty fun)
SML 51mm (love these wheels)
Bones STF 55mm v2(?) (Not a huge fan)
Just picked up some Spit F4 Conical wide 54mm waiting for a day off to try them
Shoes:
Consolidated BS Drunks (I might like these if I skated tranny but these fuckers weigh so goddamn much and the heavy vulc toe liners just dont work for me)
Vans TNT SG (Like them more then the Drunks but they take some time to break in and there isn't much cushioning to them)

Picked up some other decks but I have no plans on skating them yet or possibly ever. Ended getting a Krooked Guest Jim Thiebaud board as a christmas gift so hyped on that.

Any of you guys have reccomendations on some good cup sole shoes? I went back to skating es accel slims which I like but wouldn't mind trying something else.

vans pro insole worked perfect.

I have some "rolled-ankle madness" that keeps me away from anything that makes my heel feel not so "inside" of the shoe. Funny thing is that every adidas shoe coming with the adipreane  insole has a lot of room once you remove that thick bastard, making my heel/ankle feel super protected-snug once i swap insoles... i dunno maybe it's just the madness talking hehe

I had to ditch that insole too. I threw in a pair of state insoles and the shoe feels so much better. I have to agree that my ankle feels way more secure now.   Do people like that moon boot feel of the adiprene?  Nothing about it is nice.

does anyone have some of the adiprene insoles they don't want and would be willing to part with? i'll throw some dollars your way to cover shipping and the inconvenience. i just don't want to buy any of the shoes they're associated with and would be interested in trying them out, i like a more padded insole. oh yea size 10.

They probably would be unsafe to put in any shoe they weren't made for because your foot would be sitting abnormally high in the bed, but maybe some sk8-hi pros up a size would work.

yea, you'd never want to put Adiprene insoles in a shoe that's not designed to hold em.... same with Vans Ultra Cush and Lunarlon... gonna set your foot too high in the shoe.  dangerzone

I’m skating lunarlons in blazer mids atm, imo those insoles don’t change your foot position that much,just feels like some good ole nice cupsole with slightly raised heel. Wouldn’t try those on some low-profile shoes tho...

Are the zoom insoles gonna be glued down? Is that why you are buying the lunars but replacing the insole anyway? What insole are you using? I had to stop skating them because the lunarlon Just wasn’t enough protection for flip trick fails.

the new one star that tactics has on their website has the zoom insole, and you can take it out. I was confused as why some of the black and white classic one stars were on sale and the others weren't, upon further inspection I noticed the zoom insoles were the new ones. I assume they're moving away from lunarlon.

Its to do with the revised fit the zoom model comes with, from seeing them the heel lock looks worse and someone on here said they now fit like normal converse hi's,just dont wanna lose out on a good shoe from thier so called  updated fit.

As for insoles, i swapped  to footprint ones end of last year and its a world of difference

I really miss the quick turn from thunders, and being able to flip my board easier with an 8. I lost fs bigspins and I entirely blame it on stepping up to an 8.25. Pretty stocked to skate a smaller board.

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1723/6615/products/image_cd0a3535-98a2-40da-b754-c812f0fe5db1_1800x.jpg?v=1503613571)

I'm such an idiot, I don't need another 8.25 deck, and there's no way I'm going to be able to resist skating this.. it'll probably be worth some money in a few years.

This was at the end of a shopping spree too, where I picked up:

Kingfoam insoles
Gravette 8.20 creature deck
Thunder 148s/with hard bushings
diamond hardware
Baker fanny pack
5 feet of Jessup
STF 53mm

And weed. I'm just lucky I resisted buying more shoes :'(

Finally caved and bought some blazer lows
Got some low profile kingfoam orthotics to counter the heel slip I was having on the low ctas that've been sat in the bottom of my wardrobe for years, so far so good

I've been skating the Bronson RAW's dry since this summer because if I put Bones or Bronson lube in them it just immediately collects dirt.

After a few google searches I found this stuff called Tri-Flow, and it's the shit. I put it in about a month ago and they are the fastest they've ever been (after a few days) and do not build up gunk.

Tried it on some old seized from the rain rusty ass bearings I had and after really working the bearings (they were legit seized) they basically skate like a nice set of reds. I skated these in the rain again the other day with no shields and they still are fine.

Can't really speak for long term, but I'm hyped on it.

That deck is pretty cool, I have one that I bought about 1.5 years ago saved for the wall in my reloading room. It's a ripoff of the old Winchester logo. I bought 2 back then but like a dumbass, I gave one to my daughter's boyfriend.

The Dovers fit great, the insole is crap and if you change it ( I put some State ones in mine) it sits kinda high in the shoe. They are a nice kinda dressy shoe though. Don’t know if I could skate them though.

Box in the mail days are fun! After trying out several other wheel brands over the winter I'm going back to a combination of Spitfire and SML. I just can't find anything that works better for me. I am absolutely sold on Modus bearings though. Their $15 Blues outperformed my Bones Swiss over the winter. The ceramics are really nice too but I may end up just sticking with the Blues, they're really that good! The enamel pin is the Modus Cassette pin, looks cool. The Theories shirt looks cool but came with a huge hole in the armpit (which I fixed myself) and is so paper-thin I'll probably rip it first time I bail, sizing is way off too, not worth $30 IMO. Theories socks came with a nice big snag in them. I thought Theories soft goods would be on par with the quality of Polar, they're just as expensive but so far the quality is not even close. Spitfire shirt is nice, feels well made and is true to size. DLX soft goods are always relatively inexpensive and seem consistent with sizing and quality. The wheels are the SML 54mm 92A and 53mm 97A which are nice if you've got banged up feet like me and need a break from skating rock hard wheels all the time. Never skated the Spitfire Radial shape before so wanted to give that a try on my park setup. Currently skating Lock-Ins on my park setup but they work too well and I keep hanging up on the mini-ramp.

Got the SML wheels at: http://smlwheels.com (http://smlwheels.com)

The rest at: http://tactics.com (http://tactics.com)

Solid. Filming on the first couple parts is little jarring for me but it's sick nonetheless

Pretty damn happy... at least SOMETHING that went well...

So maybe they are coming to Europe soon. It's not the biggest shop we have but it's been around a while. So I think if they're getting them, probably other shops are too.

There's a complete shop list at the bottom of this page, alot of European shops are included:

Scandinavian shops aren't included on the list though, but I spoke to the distributor and they're getting some too.

Preduce decks are rad! If you're ever in BKK, definitely hit up the shop. I ran 3 of these "Snake Hands" boards in a row. Really solid wood and all kept their pop until the very end.

I bought tracker 184s and 54mm keyframes to go on my bigfoot deck.  I changed the bushings and put in my old mini logo bottom/bones hard top set up without any washers and it makes the trackers ride good.  I wanted to try the trackers cause they're a quarter inch more narrow than 215s.  I took off my old rictas and to my surprise they're labeled 52mm, -I ordered 54s and I never checked them ha, 54s look big.  I like the 54 key frames.

First time wearing the DC Lynx I skated to work approx 6.5 miles and my feet felt nothing. When I skate to work in Vans my feet are pretty sore just 10 blocks in. Also getting used to the Lynx from Old skools and Sk8 hi didnt take much to get used to, it just immediately brought be back to when I started. Funny earlier I bought some Reynolds G6 to skate and the Lynx feels thinner and more flexible.

Disgusting behavior
The adidas city cup retails for $80.

20% of $80 is $16.

You have sold your soul for $16.

Had a deathwish like this when the company first started. The tail was so stubby and narrow I couldn't even get the leverage to get the rotation on a 360 flip.

Thanks Watson for this Se Habla Canuck shirt! I was there at the Regina demo and filmed some stuff as well. MJ did a back tail 360 shove down a hubba at the end of the demo and everyone went crazy. Devine Calloway did a kickflip nosegrind down the hubba, Chris Roberts was trying a pop-shove nosegrind...lots of good skating went down.

I’ve ridden that shape for the past maybe three years, it’s great, doesn’t feel as tiny as an 8. I’d say more 8.1 with the taper toward the tail. $40 is a good deal too

I've skated in them for 4-5 hours so far but only flatground. I was very surprised by how great the boardfeel was. Much better and much shorter break in time than the Reynolds lows. I cant comment on how it handles impacts or how durable they are but if you can get them on sale I would. They run TTS, at least compared to other sole tech shoes.

I've got the Reynolds G6 and Adidas Busenitz pro going right now. Actually prefer the Reynolds, by a lot. Love the way the Busenitz look but I keep semi/almost rolling my ankles in them (even laced all the way up, which I hate). And in the Reynolds I do not, and have had no ankle strain. Boardfeel is good and I don't have after skate pain in my feet like I do in the Busenitz (I am 42 by the way). Durability is way higher as well. And true to size

Sure to catch shit for it being a SC deck (for a number of reasons) but I've been chasing a specific shape (FULL, like the DLX decks) but with the right dims (8.25x32x14.38WB) forever and having stood on this recently I couldn't resist given how close it is; also, I rode the OG Street Creep deck probably 6 times or so back in the day so there is a bit of nostalgia at play.

8.25" X 32" X 14.44WB - it's the new 'wide tip' shape with a steep kick / medium concave, tho it feels deeper than it is (really curious if it's the dsm/dwindle full shape); it's clearly made better than the last SC deck I rode, finish seems nicer/different stamp.

mag plates

are the magnesium baseplates really worth it?  people seem to like em, but what do they add over the regular baseplates?
Depends on what shaving a little weight off your setup is worth to you, they don't really add anything other than that. I just know that being used to the weight of theeve, that regular ACEs seem a little heavy to me, and also I love black baseplates with a polished hangar.

$5 canvas Strayes from the store that shall not be named. I figured for $5 I could look past the obvious faults with them and they can just be some trash summer shoes.

Edit: Fuck these shoes. I'm mad I paid $5 for them, absolute garbage.

Palace Lucien Clarke

The dimension looked cool, a bit on the shorter side which gives me the ability to treflip. For some reason that's one of the tricks I can't do well with longer boards.. And also for Lucien love his style and trick selection!

Wearing them around the house to break them in that day, just rubbing everywhere (pinky toe, top of big toe).  The canvas isn't really creasing naturally with wear, more random folding in causing the rubbing.  Insole isn't bad though.  I wear a 10.5, bought a 10.5.  Fit great when standing.  I guess for $5 if they break in properly they'd be ok, I was just pissed about the rubbing.

If you want more than rubbing, you have to pay more than $5 ;)

It Came From Lurkville dvd.
They premiered it here a couple weeks ago. But it was at midnight. And my old ass has trouble staying up past 9. So I missed it.
Video is sick. A little less than I was expecting from Dolan Stearns. But BK more than made up for it with an epic 2 song last part. And Tim Williams. Holy shit, that guy skates fast and rad. The rest of the team killed it as well.
As a bonus, their last video, Meet the Lurkers is on there too, which is cool.
Also, I ordered it Monday and it was delivered Tuesday.

meet the lurkers was on heavy repeat for me for a while. might have to definitely probably most likely invest in this video too.

After my very short stint on OJ Elite's and Bronson's I decided to go right back to old reliable and get some Formula Four Conical Fulls/Swiss for my street setup and Radials/Swiss for my park setup. Also decided it was finally time to get a proper bearing press instead of always using the Bones bearing tool which isn't ideal. The Bronson press is really well made with good welds and seems like it'll last a long time. Got it from SoCal during the Father's Day sale.

(https://i.imgur.com/s3mCd74.jpg)
kind of doubting there are any welds on this aluminum product. but this is guessing from not having seen the bronson press in person, but have used the identical indy one.

Inserts the bearings/spacers without putting any pressure on the inner race. When you use an axle or a Bones bearing tool all the force is placed on the inner race which pushes/pulls on the cage which can loosen the tolerances and can damage the cage, balls and raceways etc. Has a bearing puller as well which pulls them straight out, no twisting or torquing.

Won't all this and much worse happen when you go skate for the first time though? 🤔

I wanted a bearing press when I was 12 and had no upper body strength.  It took me a week to get bearings in my 2nd set of wheels ever.  Trucks work fine now.

not if you don't land primo. or do slappies. or take any impact.
honestly though, I'm a little jealous. I wish I had a bearing press. Getting this last set into some radial slims hurt my hand, using the tried and true truck method.
just googled it. $50. while looking it up, the wife looks over, asks what that thing is. The noise she made when I explained to her made it clear she thinks its ridiculous. "what?? laughing. do it the old fashion way"

Bought a Cromer 8.06 krooked deck. Finally feels like a good size. I've been all over the place as far as sizes goes. 7.75 roller horror was fun but impact from landing was rough. 8.38 real full shape just felt way too goddamn big but its fun to ride on tranny. 9.25 BA cruiser is awesome but also just mainly my cruiser. I think im just going to stick to riding 8.06-8.2 from now on.

I wouldn't mind getting a bearing press to be honest. I had a similar experience as hands did trying to get bearings into a set of spit classics. It was so difficult to get them in that I actually bruised the insides of my hands. I almost sent them back but eventually got the last one popped in. But I dont have 50$ to spare on something im only going to use a few times a year.

Probably not as nice as the Bronson one, but I picked up this one a while back and has helped greatly for me and my homies.

Couldn't you get similar effects putting the bearing in by placing an old bearing on the axle first, then pressing against that?

yeah definetly true to size for me.....when they are all new i felt like i had the heel slipping going on (might be due to being really stiff cause of the foam midsole) but after a while that stopped. i usually get 3- 4 weeks out of a shoe. these felt super good for 2 months now!

I used to think they looked crazy, but I kept watching Nick Boserio footage and he made me really want a pair. They’re pretty loose but super light. Perfect for summer here.
You're welcome  (to your wallet)
I have these, but with drawstrings. Doesn't get more comfy than some thin linen. $24 bucks and there are usually sales.

edit: These also have the waist drawstrings. I'm gonna buy 2 more pairs.

I have a size medium pair being 6' and on the skinnier side, and I'd say they have a regular chino-type fit. Definitely not super baggy, but not slim. Similar to Volcom regular chino fit if you've tried those.
Mine do get pretty wrinkly, but I also just bunch them up and throw them in a drawer. It wouldn't hurt to give them a once over with an iron or a steamer if you were to wear them out.

Yeah the surf pants are just too good. Got a navy pair on sale and have been on the hunt for cheap ones or alternatives since. Obey actually makes some very similar pants, the 'easy' pants by obey are quite similar and often on sale. Even thinner material though. I wear an XL in polar surf pants and got an XXL in the easy pants and theyre just slightly baggier but the waist is obviously way bigger, not much of an issue with drawstrings though. If you get the same size they will probably be marginally slimmer than surf pants but close enough.

if you want a much cheaper version, you should look into the Dickies scrubs.  I was in a medical lab science program and had to wear scrubs to class, and the Dickies ones seem like they'd be great to skate in.  really thin but durable, cargo pockets, good fit, good breathability, lots of nice colors, and cost about 20-30 bucks.

Just finished skating my second pair of those. First shoe I've had in a while that I liked enough to buy another pair right away. I did tire of the adiprene insole after a while, it's super cushy and protective but not the least bit breathable and not to mention it makes the shoe hard to put on without bunching up your socks. Other than that the shoe is perfect to me. The Suciu II looks too narrow for my wide feet so I'm on some City Cups now. Hope you enjoy yours!

Check the polar site, they have a sizing guid there. That being said, I usually buy pants with a 30 inseam and the large fit about the same for me.

Those actually look decent, lightweight, durable. How’s the fit? For $27 I might have to cop a pair.

Bought some Thunder Regular 149’s. These trucks are perfect. My setup turns on a dime, didn’t even have to adjust the tightness, and the bushings don’t squeak

Shit, is Rasa back? Or is that an old deck? I feel like with Matt Field there always seems to be talk about relaunching the company, like it never left the air and just technically paused. I would be hyped if they were starting to actually make product again. I still wear my OG Rasa tees on the daily.

Nah that's an old Rasa board. Rasa Libre was legitimately one of the best companies in skate history and Kenny Reed is one of my all time favorite skateboarders.

I heard years ago that Matt Field sold the Rasa Libre name to a company in Japan. Not sure if that is even true. He had been teasing something recenetly on his IG though. Concepts for new graphics. Not sure if it's going anywhere.

*OG accels*

I just got these on Ebay UK. Pretty hyped on starting to skate puffy shoes again.
[close]

I wanna snag some OG accels too they bring back so much nostalgia...either those or some DC throwbacks. The local shop I go to has a whole wall of puffy ass shoes its hilarious seeing them all sitting there at $100+

Yeah man, same here... I watched a few early 2000's Reynolds videos and I was fucked, this is the closest thing similar to what he wore then I guess. Get some and try them out, I almost forgot how nice it is to skate in puffy shoes.

Labor Day splurging
(http://i.imgur.com/jqQP0CQl.jpg) (https://imgur.com/jqQP0CQ)
Active sale:
Pumas
Cons
Heroin tapes deck
Guy slick deck

Skate Warehouse sale:
3 sets of Indys, 159 x 1, 149 x 2
2 sets of bearings
Matching Guy shirt
Blind coffee mug

The local:
8.3 shop board (bareback)
extra grips
Toy Machine socks
F4 Conical Full 58mm 99
risers

The Heroin and Guy are the first 2 shaped boards I've ever had. I mean, I got my first board in 83 or 84. And I've never taken any breaks; except for being hurt. So I've skated shaped boards. But only because that is what a skateboard was at that time. Since 94 or whenever, it's been nothing but popsicles. Well, I have a zip zinger. But that doesn't really count. To be honest, I've kind of looked down on shaped boards. I'll see a clip or something and think, that was a rad trick, but that ugly shaped board takes something away from it. Even seeing someone ride rails kind of bums me out. It's a silly attitude to have. But I'm just being truthful. Now, as an oldie I'm coming full circle. Becoming the kook I once derided. I'm actually really excited to get these set up.
Once I strip the black paint off the hanger, I'm going to set up the 159s on the Heroin board with the 58mm fulls. It's always been a goal of mine to learn how to skate Washington Street and hopefully this is the set up that will get me over the loveseat.
Then I'm thinking about getting some Thunders or Ventures and probably a 50mm classic for the Guy.
Will these things actually get skated? Or just take up space in the trunk of my car? Only time will tell.

One of the locals at the park who's flow for DGK was selling boards out of his car for only 25 bucks each, and he just so happens to skate my size; for that cheap I had to pick one up. Never had a DGK ever, but I know they use generator wood and the shape isn't too bad, so I'm willing to give it a try

Also bought some new OG black and white Chucks to skate in, and some new bushings (not pictured).
Went with Doh Dohs cuz those were the only ones they had in a medium hard duro at the shop, they had Indy and Thunder aftermarkets as well but only in too soft of a duro for my tastes. So far they feel alright, not sure if they're fully broken in yet or not tho.

dude me too. I still remember my 1st foundation board back in 04. Someone had stolen my complete out of my PE locker and my friend hooked it up with a board. Problem is that was that board was huge, probably an 8.125/8.25 up until then I was exclusively riding 7.75s. I think after my two boards I have queued up I'll buy a Dakota board.

Should be getting my pair of winterized romero highs tomorrow afternoon. I mostly bought them for a work shoe but when I get a chance i’ll post about how they feel skating. Ive been on a really weird shoe kick lately. Es Accel Slims -> Vans Slip On Pros -> Emerica Romero Highs. I’m definitely looking forward to trying these out and also having a shoe thats designed for wet/cold weather and seeing how they hold up in Seattle.

Edit: Shoes look good, everything is feeling weird. I wear a 9.5 in Vans, Es, and Nike. The shoe is loose but stubby(?) I feel like if I got a 9 my feet wouldn’t fit lengthwise or would be super cramped but fit well width widthwise. I pulled the laces in as tight as possible and it only feels snug right behind my toes. I can fit my hand down the collar of the shoe and touch the bottom of my foot. I’d like to add that sinces its the “winterized” version it has two hooks instead of eyelets like a hiking boot so the eyelets on the standard Romero Highs probably change the snugness around the ankle.

I went half size up in these which might be a mistake but the US11 felt really snug lenghtwise. I've been meaning to try bigger shoes for a while, since most of my skateshoes make my bigtoes sore even after using and strechting them. We'll see.

Those fit weird, half size up is ok I guess...I could't convince myself of buying them when tried a full size bigger and still felt tight lenghtwise.

if anyone has bought a board recently with nice steep kicks i'd be keen to hear thoughts about them.

i'm looking at new decks with pretty even nose/ tail kicks with a fair bit of concave.

state harlems, which is my favorite classic shoe design style wise. toe cap and side patch.

Lurkville which is probably the best shape I ever got from a syndrome board, but it's not the size/graphic I was expecting

I appreciated your heads up in the sale gear thread. I bought the deck too and also got that 8.1 instead of the 8.25 shown. can't complain too much for the price so I set it up the other night.

I generally pull the trigger when I find a solid deck for under $20 on amazon. Even If I don't need it, I flip it for 25 or 30 bucks

FA shirt and it wasn’t as soft or nice as ones I got from one of the first drops. I want to say that they’re more slim fit but it’s probably a combination of me getting fatter and the shirt being lower-quality.

2 custom symmetrical 10.25 popsical sticks.  15 3/4 wb.  Custom mellow kick/concave.  Really good fakie kfs, super fun board.  I got one of them set up with small wheels and the 169s made before they got a smidge bigger. The board is symmetrical so I can keep switching the trucks around to make the 'tail'(s) last twice as long.

fergus, did you get to watch it yet? I just did today, it's pretty mind blowing. I won't spoil much but it's pure Toriotoko style, just drawn out as a full-length. plenty of fucked up shit. I was confused by the guy's camera settings though, looks like he pushes the saturation to the limit on the VX and it results in a lot of glowing colors, makes for an interesting lo-fi style (which is clearly the aesthetic he's going for) but it was a bit hard to get into at times. The black and white shit looks amazing though.

For those who wanted dimensions on my impulse buy from last week;

Width: 8.4in
Wheelbase: a solid 14.5in (fwiw I’m riding ace 44s and it feels incredible with this wb)
Length: 32.25in
Concave is on the mellower side, which I’m usually not into but it’s not too bad.

First skate today and (to preface I could afford to lose a few lbs) it felt a little flimsy, but after getting used to it as I mentioned the wheelbase is a plus and I’m just stoked in general to support Roger so definitely a purchase I’m happy with.

- reynolds 129 independent hollows, they weigh nothing
- venture 5.0
- spitire 52 mm big heads (got 4 packages for free from spitire though...)
- bones red bearings (cheap and they last forever, even with the shields popped)
- note self: always keep buying aluminum colored trucks. Always.

no problem! I was coming off of a 14.25 so the change is noticeable but welcomed. I could imagine from 14 - 14.5 would be a little jarring.

Yesssss! Gets hard to watch other skate videos after buying Toriotoko. Sorry, I haven't seen any trailers out there. In my opinion 「 In Relationen 」acts as a trailer for the full length, same filming style, same location, same group of skaters just expect a little more color!
Maybe silhouette could chime in with his thoughts? He's much more eloquent than me haha.

DC Mos are legit, I miss them. I'd still buy'em if they made them; can't find 10s anywhere, even in ugly colorways; I never saw the mids even hit retailers.

 Tiago's shoe has a simliar toebox.

Crailtap mystery box came out exactly as expect

CK girl 8.25
Chocolate chico 8.75
Chocolate Shirt Orange
Embroidered Girl Shirt Mint
Chocolate hat
4star deck of cards
(https://i.imgur.com/W9qOcjhl.jpg)


not bad for 85$, griptape would have been amazing. Crail put out CK decks up to the last minute, Good on them for looking out, I guess. That hat feels cheap AF I feel bad for whoever paid 24-30$ for it. The shirts are thick, which is interesting. Like twice the weight of a regular shirt, but still soft, not stiff. I gotta take em out for a spend and see how they wear

I've been skating these in white and they are pretty good.

Nothing fancy about the design (who cares?) but they skate good and the materials are ok.

I don't mind a feedback when you start skating those, especially on board feel. I've only skate regular Emerica vulc for a couple a years now. Currently skate the G6 slip-on which seems already better and was thinking about trying the figgy Dose.

Got these completely new Rowley Solos a couple weeks ago. Really wanted them when they just came out but didn’t have money/didn’t need new shoes at the time, so I feel redeemed now. Overall amazing shoe, but I guess I’d still rather go for an era pro or chucks, as these are a bit too stiff for my feet.

Bought a pair of the Reynolds 3 ReIssue at a shop, a complete Nostalgia purchase & they were only $35.

Skated them that & yesterday.

Complete garbage.

The foxing tape is so thick that it makes you feel like you're skating in a bumper car.

The shoe was so wide that on the second session my foot was basically swimming in the shoe (yes, i sized the shoe appropriately, half size down was like a vice & I thought the shoe needed a bit of stretching in my actual size.... it stretched way to easily)

The padded tongue, isn't the original dense padding at all & is more akin to fluffy cotton balls.

So basically I ended the pair after 2 sessions & determined I couldn't skate in a cotton ball bumper car of a shoe.

I really wanted them to work, I really did.

Back to New Balance's.

Some new Gramicci pants from ebay for $23.00
State Keys, State Salems, Killing Floor Herbie Hancock T-shirt, and Dickies 67 all for $85.00 from 35th Ave

Thats a ton of shit for 152 bucks... 1 board, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 pairs of pants, and a t shirt.

Well, that was the only white one out of the set. The rest are yellow as fuck. So they've definitely been sitting for a while. Ebay shop (and real life as far as I know) called Toddtwist. It's ran by Sean Goff, an 80/90s vert pro. There's often stuff on there that could be considered sort of vintage at very resonable prices. For example I got some World industries shoes for like £10

Mad .. have you skated that shape before?
I wanted to try the smaller one
I haven't but a) you know I'm riding a fairly big passport deck at the moment and b) there will be no more Chico boards on Chocolate which is really the end of an era right there. He always looked like he was having so much fun on that shape so I just had to buy it. I'll chuck a c) in there too and say it looks like the type of shape where big pants/ small wheels were just about to become popular, but there was still that video days/ early new deal-era vibe which just pulls so hard at those nostalgia strings in my heart.

I picked up a set of Tensor ATG mag lights during the 40%off sale Dwindle was having.  Never skated Tensors before but couldn't help myself. Gonna swap them out with my Venture 5.8s and give them a shot.

All from Seasons cyber monday sale:
8.5 Club
8.5 Frog
Adidas Campus ADV

From the shop closest to me (Branded):
Alltimers Hoody

The boards were from Seasons' 2 mystery boards for $55 deal. I'm not super familiar with Club skateboards, but it seems like James Sayres who used to ride for northern co rides for them. I get the impression that it's a group of friends who made a company to turn their friends pro, which I like a lot. There most recent instagram post is someone doing a crook shuv on a ledge so it's hard not to back them. Not sure what woodshop they use (if you know, I'd be interested) or anything but I think it's a cool board. The frog board is impressively silly. Not my normal choice but I like their edits and stuff and it's shape looks fine so I'll ride it.

yes! me and my crew watched that video everyday for maybe like 3 years? That and video days were our go to vids and we all wanted to have backside flips as nice as Chico's. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the board(s) he is riding in love child are what inspired that chocolate shape. I know you don't like big boards but I have a feeling it might be a bit of an icon in years to come.

98 slims are legit. Solid cupsole that gets nice and flexy once it’s broken in.
 To me they are as good as any other cups I’ve tried on the current market. More comfy than my new balance cupsoles too (the PJ ones idr the number.

Treated myself and ordered Super Swiss 6 bones bearings and the bones bearing cleaning tool bottle so I can make my normal bones Swiss new again too.
They are being delivered today.

That bottle is worth the 15 or so moneys it costs. Really quickens the bearing cleaning process. Cleaning the shields is still a bit of a hassle though.

This weekend I replaced my bushings out with some indy mediums. Feeling solid after a few sessions.
I also bought some sheet metal strips from home depot, and reinforced my box with it so I stop punching holes in the top. Winter parking garage sessions are looking up.

The orange 90as? I use them. The stock ones always used to fucking blow out on me but those replacements are fantastic though.

I decided to get some Andales the other day.  Been wanting to try these out, always rode black panthers or reds, but I've bridging out from my always lately.  I got Ojs earlier in the year and really like them.  Just got a Magenta Board to switch out when spring comes around.

Man I’ve bought a lot of stuff the past week, just had my second daughter and have been sitting in the hospital ordering shit.

101 f4 radial slims
Scumco deck from the corner store skate shop in TN
Riptide pivot cups
Stance had a crazy sale and I got like 3 shirts for 30 bucks and those are great.
Also got a belt since I think that might be contributing to my hip pain

Oh and went to bureau and got a shop shirt and some grip
All this week

NOTE!  If your Retailer does not carry the specific Pivot Cups you are looking for, many truck brands use the same Pivots!  Indy Pivot Cups will fit just fine in the following trucks:

ACE, Carver CX3 C7.3, Caliber Standard, Gullwing Sidewinder, Mini Logo, Polar Bear, Royal, Silver, Tensor, Theeve, Thunder & Venture

From the riptide website so maybe these are all the same?

Fractured an elbow a few months back; don't really wanna fall on it again anytime soon, so I bought some 187 slim pads. What was funny was that the only place where I could find any reputable reviews on pads came from the roller derby scene.

Same boat. Venture 5.0 lo-Indy 169. Hilariously/sadly, most of the decks are old and banged out. Can’t settle on a set-up.

I once wore the Thrasher boyfriend tee to an art show, and a cute chick selling weed brownies got really excited upon seeing it and asked me if I skate at a particular location.
We had a short confusing exchange before I told her that I've realized she's talking about roller skating and I don't visit the local rink.

Grabbed the P.rod 8s at a thrift store for 12.99. literally brand new.
Huf classic hi from ebay $30 shipped. kinda bummed they sent me these obey collab ones when the photo showed the original first gen black suede ones. I actually ordered two pairs in different sizes and they sent me one of those and one of these canvas obey ones (wtf?!).
Palace x Ralph from stockX for just over $120. I like fashion and skating. Figured this could be a cool piece to own 20 years from now.
And lastly a Jeremy Klein bomberman to skate. Screen print is really nice, and the shape is great! 8" wide, but because it tapers on the nose and tail it looks smaller than it is.

Next purchase will be bones easy street wheels

Not be as baggy as they look in the picture but they are def really nicely baggy. I got them from skateqarehouse and they still have a couple sizes.

That is a very rad graphic. I remember when DGK first came out on of the things I kept hearing was how good the wood was. A lot of us were looking for something else, could be getting it all confused, but it was around the time crailtap started being less good. Every kayo board I’ve had has been solid to very good.

Not a purchase, but a trade. I got talking to a guy in Oslo who’s doing upcycling type stuff and workshops for kids in addition to boardmaking and he invited me to his workshop, I got to design and cut my own board in exchange for a handful of old decks and wheels.
I fucked up a bit when machine sanding the edges so there’s a few boo-boos, but it looks way worse on the pic than in person. This is after a couple coats of varnish, next up is making a design of some sort before coating it with several more layers.
I’m thinking of doing a very simple design with just a runic inscription in Old Norse. I used to study Norse culture and the wood is Scandinavian (ideally it would have been Norwegian, but it’s Danish and/or Finnish), it seems fitting.
The board is 8.4 inches at its widest, 31.5 long and with a 14 inch wheelbase. Fairly mellow concave but with semi-steep kicks. The tail is long but not quite as huge as it might look in the photo.

Is it a big difference over something sub 15inches? I have the same shape from a few years ago. Was looking at a DTS board and the 16WB turned me off. I don’t flip my board much too so should I not trip over it?

You know what, I'm not really sure yet. I just set it up yesterday and it's been raining all week. From just standing on it it gives me a lot more room to position my feet and lets my natural ollie position fall comfortably behind the front bolts.

Once the wheelbase gets lower than 14.5" or so it's really compact for my feet.

I skated a 15" wb transportation unit for awhile, and normally do 14.75" wb. I'm just an AA sized dude with big shoulders, I feel way more "natural" with larger wbs.

I watched too much mike arnold footage and now i want one star ccs. They probably skate really bad considering there've been half-size runs of every color half-off on SPOT for probably a year now. But adidas just don't do it for me :)

Got the leather pair the other day, they feel like clouds on your feet.

Haven't managed to skate them yet, but I think that they don't sell just due to the lack of big logo. 

Let's see, only time will tell.

I just got some black and white Busenitz vulcs. Pretty happy with the fit. Not quite as comfortable as the pros but don’t have that ridiculous tongue. Also got a shop beanie from the local.

I'm not a koston fan but really enjoyed the 8.3 #s Silvas I rode a few decks back.  Silvas' shapes and dimensions are oddly enough what I like...shapes could be a little fuller tho; graphics are nice on this one for sure.

What I dislike is on the website it states:

Dimensions: 8.28” x 31.775” x 14.25”

On the board it states:

Dimensions: 8.25” x 31.75” x 14.125”

I didn't bother to measure it myself yet...

Bought myself a birthday present. This jacket from Theories is awesome. Perfect fit, not too baggy, and warmer than it looks (it was 23 degrees out last night and I only had a long sleeve tee on under it). Got it for 15% off and free shipping from tactics. If anyone is looking for a jacket, I HIGHLY recommend this!

After wearing it for a couple days, I like it even more. Not quite as warm as I first thought but still a perfect jacket for fall/spring. Pull the trigger!

just bought some nike sb cargo pants that i really like and the sb gato that might end up as a chiller for summer, might fuck around and skate it but i am not sure yet since the fit is kinda weird with all that foam in the sole- anybody already been skating these?

aaaand finally found the lakai owen vlk, the james caps colorway. i tried to order them anywhere in europe and it seemed that nobody hat them stocked. Looking forward to those because of the sole- i remember guy mariano having a shoe on the vlk sole too before he left and i liked that shoe quite a bit and the sole felt pretty good!

I had the Guymars and really liked them after they broke in. I actually bought another pair on mad sale some time ago and have them waiting. They're one of the stiffest fucking shoes to begin with and a bitch to break in but after that they're nice.

yeah i remember the marianos being stiff as fuck! hope the slip ons are the same- i am coming from NB# 533 v2s that are stiff as fuck and basically feel the same as when i first skated them 4 weeks ago- they are still brand new basically but i needed some change! Nbs will get skated some more months in the future though.

sick that you still have a pair of the guymars! was that this models name???

Yeah man Guymar. I really like how they look too. Usually not a fan of Lakais and their huge flares but these are really clean IMO.

this is probably way too much work for the uninitiated but you can get raw denim by a chinese brand called Sauce Zhan for under $50 a pair. If you can find some for sale in the US it would save you the trouble of buying from Taobao. I got 2 pairs of raws for $48, super durable, saved me from getting gutted by a handlebar end in a bike crash.

Sig is Max Palmer from the 917 vid. I’m assuming that ledge is somewhere in NYC.

Super stoked on my ChutingStar box from the Sale thread. Not only did I get both of these for $60, but I was actually hoping for a black-stained version of the Supa deck because the site displayed a yellow one and sho nuff, they came thru with what I hoped for. I also didn’t realize the blue & silver on the habitat deck have foil elements which makes it even better. Still haven’t decided which one I’m gonna skate first, but they’re both 8.25’s which is a step down from my usual 8.38 I’ve been running for the past few years

Went in for a pair of Sk8-mids from the Vans x Anti-Hero recent collab but walked out with these. They definitely feel comfy and I went a 1/2 size up because my regular size felt a little too tight

Just grabbed some Spitfire 53mm Classic F4s yesterday. I’ve been on Conical 54mm F4s for a while and felt they really made tre flips, similar tricks and some grinds harder/weird. Great on mini-ramp/tranny though (which I don’t skate a lot).

Was gonna go down to 52mm, but couldn’t find any in F4 at the local shop. We’ll see how it feels going back to classic shape.

Get the Levis skateboarding ones (or another Levis pair with Dyneema), it's 2,5 stronger than regular denim.

Carhartt

Specifically, their work pants. I fell bombing a rough asphalt hill while wearing them and they only got a few small scuff marks. Any of my other pants would have ripped for sure. $40 full price, but worth it IMO.

New job, new season, new bad spending habits.

I was thinking about leather dye mainly because i've never really been happy with the texture of painted shoes.
I also realized that under the silver stuff its black anyway, might hit them with a little palm sander in an inconspicuous spot to test my theory.

the rack rules. i got it for my birthday one year (only to my parents' dismay that they hadn't purchased the actual rear rack for said skate rack to hook onto) and flash forward 6 or 7 years later i finally installed it on my little cruiser and what a revolution it has been.

totally worth the investment if you ride your bike to the park. 100%.

8.25" + super reds for my cruiser
[close]
Been skating some reds and race reds. whats the difference between the regular and super? (race reds are definitely worth it, eliminates the pain of losing washers while changing wheels since they don't need them)
[close]
I have no fucking clue, they were bones and they were 10€ more than regular reds so I assume they are a bit better hah
Ok so since the race reds are literally just super reds with extended races ill just compare those with teh regular reds. The regular reds are obviously cheaper and need a lot of maintenance ( streets are pretty rough and dirty here ). The race reds spin a little faster and longer, but are also just a tad bit quieter. The only con to race reds is that you can't put them through a bones cleaner kit. I really want a swiss version of the race reds but sadly there isn't.

Just leave the spacers out. I’ve cleaned my bearings with similar races just fine with my Bones cleaning bottle.

No I know you can leave the spacers out but the bones cleaner kit has 7 spacers. So for the 8 bearings, you have seven spacers. However, each bones race reds bearing has a built in spacer AND slightly extended outer race to take away the need for washers. So you cant use them in the bones cleaner.

Zealous do have nearly identical inner race dimensions, but the race reds have a small extension on the outside too to eliminate the need for speed rings or washers.

Dude. Fuck off. You have no idea what you're talking about. Just spouting bullshit. Zealous bearings like all bearings with extended inner races have the same fucking dimensions. They are all designed so that you do not need spacers or speed rings. If you had trouble putting 8 bearings on a stick I'm sorry for you. Had they not actually fit there I don't think it would have required all that much brain capacity to figure out that you could clean them for example in sets of four.

Im not stupid I know how to clean bearings dipshit im just saying that its strange how my bones race reds dont fit in the bones cleaner kit.

My local requires pads but my current 187s are the Pro version, which are HUGE and Pro Level, these should do me just fine on the smaller bowls and mini and not wreck street tricks.

I was actually planning on holding out for the 8.25" Venture TIs but I recently sessioned some Thunders and they just felt so good/spot on and remembered the last time I rode Ventures I went straight back to Indy; the wheelbase stretch is just too long for me (plus I want lower trucks that still turn).

Found a pair of Silas Pros at Salvation Army for like ten bucks. They're unskated, and they almost appear to be unworn altogether.

Pretty much, slightly slimmer than the conicals I have on now. Smaller riding surface and the classics I have at the house are even smaller riding surface. After my conicals I was looking for something a little slimmer

I feel it, I think I’ll get radials next too cuz I’ve just been skating conicals and I want a slimmer wheel so I can slide better.

I have them and I like them a lot. I usually run conical 52s. The classic fulls felt a little too grippy on my first session but they have broken in nicely after a few sessions. I don’t flip my board enough for the one different colored wheel to bother me. Getting glimpses of the tennis ball color actually get me hyped.

Made a thread asking if cleaning Swiss made a difference. Actually cleaned them, the very next day they were running great and then I shot my board into a puddle at the park. Felt so defeated after that but they’re still running smooth

Possibly the best thing Ive ever purchased. Bought this for my older brother.. The first 'real' skateboard he ever had right when we started skating around 2000-2001. I was hyped when I found it for sale! Honestly never thought Id see this graphic again. I believe its a Marc Mckee. We used to trip out on this deck back in in the day thinking it was huge. F*ckin things an 8.5 which was actually ginormous at the time. Ultra stoked.

I stopped by DLXSF last summer to check it out and buy a shirt and HOLY SHIT they hooked it the fuck up with stickers haha. I walked around super awkwardly for 5 minutes while some locals were in there kicking it then handed the clerk a sticker from my local shop and mumbled some dumb shit like “greetings from Seattle” and the dude lit up and dropped 20+ slaps in my bag. Then while in my anxiety-ridden state I walked out of the shop without my bag and one of the locals bombed down the hill and gave it to me.

Decided to switch it up a bit.  Just got this and the length/wheelbase is throwing me off. Normally I ride 8.0/31.875 with a 14.25, but this is 8.125/32 with a 14.25 wheelbase and the nose is 6.875 which is what I'm used to, but it just seems fuller. I thought width would be throwing me off a bit but definitely the length/wheelbase I mean, it's helping to change up my riding style a bit.

Bones Reds.

I've had shitty bearings for a long time (old reds and then Bronsons for a few weeks which were complete garbage and a waste of time and money).

I had the best session in a long time. I actually forgot what decent bearings feel like.

Got some new balance 255s they hurt my feet. I’m assuming they need broken in but damn they hurt my toes. Where the shoe creases when you walk where toes and foot connect. So I bought some vans tnts at a local they feel good so I’m gonna skate the tnts and slowly try and break i the 255s so they’ll be ready when the tnts die

I’m on my third pair of 255’s, and this happened with the pair I am currently wearing, but not with the previous two. It was noticeable mostly in my push foot for about a week, and then it went away...

That sounds kinda strange. For me they’re pretty much perfect right out of the box. Almost nonexistent break in time and usually it takes weeks if not months of walking around with shoes to break them in for me, vulc or cupsole. 😮

I’ve always found Emerica cups take about a week to flex out and stretch a little, never tried the Reynolds but it holds true for figgys and laced

They're soft and grippy, don't really powerslide that much at all. I use them for filming wheels, IMO better than Bones/OJs filmer wheels.

Ah see but how big? I'm in a cursed spot where when I play it safe and size down, things are always way too small. I'm more on the 10-10.5 side than the 9.5-10 side but everyone still says size down .5. I have my eye on a pair but don't want to shit the bed on the finality of the sale.

See, here we go.  I'm glad you understand.  Can I get a 9 3/4? 
Samba adv 9.5 is too small, even with wafer thin socks.  10 gets the job done.  Everyone has been so pleased with the city cup on here.  I could use a little more cush, I have old man feet, but this 10 is not feeling like I can skateboard in it.   Should have just bumped up to the st3, or whatever the shit it's called.

Will keep re-using my old Swiss Ceramics, but should be a lot lighter than my FA with fuck tons of paint, Indy 149's, and conical fulls. Not that I will be one iota better from it, but I am mega stoked.

There is a Goodwill around here where everything is in these big blue bins and you just pay based on how much your stuff weighs. Is that the same kind of store you are talking about?

Regardless, the last time I went there I got a vintage leather Kodak camera bag for what ended up being about $0.50.

I was (and still am) psyched on it.

Not technically "skate gear" but I was waiting for walmart to finish my oil change and walked over to the verizon store and grabbed a new phone. Last one was getting fucky and it wasn't under warranty.

To make it skate related me and the homies film iphone clips so I bought a fisheye off amazon.

I just got a Real Heavyweight for my birthday, I'm always skating DLX boards but I wanted to try if this construction makes any difference.

I'm 6,1 and 230 pounds, does anyone have tried it?
yup that is my go to deck for now I bought a pair of shop decks for visiting a new shop but the heavyweights definitely hold up, they break funny though after 3 or 4 months of skating. I am getting up there in size so it helps having that security for sure.

Kid was selling this on a local classified page for 15 bucks. Bought it for the untouched 149's (extra set of Reds are a bonus). Might throw some Aces on there for slappy setup since the deck has no pop left but otherwise is pretty solid.

Yeah that’s rad, when I am on those used classifieds I always look at the hardware, I could give a shit about the board unless it’s pristine. Even then I haggle them down a bit. Those trucks and wheels look flawless.

Indeed, I've scored a nice backlog of barely used hardware over the years from local classifieds. The wheels are Rat Bones re-issues. Definitely no wear on them, probably use them as backups for the cruiser down the line. Indy's are USA stamped Stage XI's as well.

This had got me hyped. 56 conical fulls are too beast for this pipsqueak, love the roll tho. Was considering 52 conical full in the 101, with the idea that they’d melt down faster. My 99s are invincible. They might even be growing. For sure not shrinking.

Do they actually weigh less than a 52 classic? I replaced some radial slims worn down to about 50mm with 54 tablets and my board felt a lot heavier, I don't imagine a 52 classic would have made my board feel that much heavier. Maybe I'm just trippin. I like the tablets but overall still prefer radial slims which still have a reasonably wide riding surface for how slim they are, and the taper shaves some weight off and makes them look a bit more natural to me whilst locking in basically just as well.

Found these Grasshoppers today, Sz. 12. Not my size unfortunately, plan on selling them. Shame, always wanted to skate a pair. Don't think these guys have seen griptape.

In Europe they’re almost all China ones with stupid short wheelbases. Should have checked the woodshop thread. I’ve been wanting to support Toy Machine for a long time but with this and other fuckery, they’re making it way too difficult for me.

Are those true though? Skatedeluxe is sometimes all over the place with their deck dimensions. I doubt they measure them themselves. Probably just copy it from some Tum Yeto catalog which would probably list the dimensions for the US models.

Alright. That's cool. Maybe they've unified the dimensions now then. Back when I last bought a Toy Machine the dimensions of the China versions were completely different to the US versions and it fucking sucked.

Will do. My shoe posts bring all the trolls to the yard.

I wanted a cupsole as I've been nursing a brusied heel (been wearing Lakai Riley IIs) and I know they'll be wide enough; it was kind of an impulse buy as choices were limited and I was racing against the clock of the Skatewarhouse 4th of July sale (but all the cupsoles in my size looked like shit but these).

Etnies Joslin is a good pair. It snugs but it gives space to feel real comfy... Try it out. I like it better than Marana. Also better than most skate shoes I've tried and I like cupsole skate shoes for my self too...

I bought a Habitat deck. My phone won’t let me post a picture but it’s the Charlie Harper Wedding deck. 8x31.25x14 according to the sticker it had in it. Felt great for the one session I’ve had on it.

Just got these SB Air Max Bruins for $9.99 at Gabe's. Its like Ross, Burlington, etc. I'm just planning on chillin in them but has anyone actually skated these? Are you even supposed to? Feel like they would just shred and the soles don't seem all that grippy.

I skate in mine from time to time, but theyre suede. That nylon that you got will be done in less than one session. The soles dont get ruined too quickly btw. Overall I like them for skating (again in suede.)

Yea that makes sense. I really like em. They are super comfy. Just picked these up too, so I think I'm good all around for awhile. Third pair of shoes in a couple weeks, I need to stop. All on sale though so I don't feel too bad.

The graphic is definitely cool but I was more into the shape. The habitat site says it’s 31.5 but the sticker on the deck said 31.25. I measured when I got home and it is 31.25. So hyped on that.

Huf Dylans for $20 at Ross. I slapped myself with the shoes this morning upon waking up to make sure it was real. Half size lower than my norm but I'm hoping they'll stretch since vulcs usually end up feeling floppy.

Didn't grab any decks, grabbed the mis print shirt, turnstile shirt, both sock offerings

If you are grabbing a deck you should act soon , their insta story said they were almost out

They feel like they will be floppy pretty quick, but they do feel nice. Comfy and light. Coming from mainly vans they arent too much stiffer for sure. Grip seems ok.


Just grabbed one of these. Had the bigger polar sling for a while but this smaller one will get in the way less.

just put some gamechanger footprint insoles into some Nike Dunk SB mids. Not sure if I've just always had flat feet, but its a pretty strange feeling having these in my shoes. I can't even wear Adidas shoes like the Campus ADV because they are too skinny, but shoes like the Dunk and Blazer has always worked well for me.

anyone notice any benefits from these insoles? curious to skate with them later

Came up on this OG world setup from around 1996-97. One of the first or second graphics to ever feature the 'devil man' character. Complete with Tracker 'Tony hawk' signature trucks, 59.5 mm 'demon seed' Spitfire wheels, and a set of Pig 'high octane' bearings. Paid $130 for it. Mad hyped!

While we’re on topic, how long your insoles last usually? I just got my first pair of fp elite insoles and those seems to mush out very fast...

For kingfoams, my rule of thumb is 8-10 months for comfort, up to a year if you don’t mind a little discomfort at times. I’ve had a set in my work boots for a year that I wear 10 hours a day 5 days a week and they’ve only just started packing out in the arch

For kingfoams, my rule of thumb is 8-10 months for comfort, up to a year if you don’t mind a little discomfort at times. I’ve had a set in my work boots for a year that I wear 10 hours a day 5 days a week and they’ve only just started packing out in the arch
Thanks.

just put some gamechanger footprint insoles into some Nike Dunk SB mids. Not sure if I've just always had flat feet, but its a pretty strange feeling having these in my shoes. I can't even wear Adidas shoes like the Campus ADV because they are too skinny, but shoes like the Dunk and Blazer has always worked well for me.

anyone notice any benefits from these insoles? curious to skate with them later
[close]

I've got some, but I have mid-high arches so the FP 5mm flat insoles work a lot better for me.
[close]
While we’re on topic, how long your insoles last usually? I just got my first pair of fp elite insoles and those seems to mush out very fast...
6 months heavy skating or two complete pair of shoes

probably the most disgusting looking board i've ever had, but the shape was too good, and i got it for cheap. it's 8.625 by 32 with a 14.38 wheelbase, has a big nose and a pretty pointy tail. very fun.

What did you grab from the new carpet co. drop. I'm sitting on multiple unskated decks but know I'll kick myself if I don't get a deck in time.
[close]

Didn't grab any decks, grabbed the mis print shirt, turnstile shirt, both sock offerings

If you are grabbing a deck you should act soon , their insta story said they were almost out

Just picked up a couple of the new Carpet items too.

Grabbed the Earth Sucks tee and the Jumbo Hit Boi deck for the wall. Love how they screened the shops name I bought them from on the top.

So I get what everyone means with bronsons now. (Raws) At first they were great like for 3-4 months then they fucking locked up. One after the other. I was bummed but not too much. I only spent 8 bucks on them during an unintentional sale online around Xmas, if anyone remembers that. Still pissed though.

Swapped them with red indys and those keep going strong. Anyways got some bones reds and also just got these f4s for $25 that I couldn't pass up. Fuck me and fuck zumiez haha

It's still the one gear purchase I get salty about. Those things (had the G3's) are utter shit. My local was out of Reds and it was either G3's or Ceramics. Dude assured me they were above board and I had never really looked into them (this was a few years ago). A week until they squeaked horribly and then about a week later started locking up. Popped the shields and a few races were completely shattered. Fuck those things.

Fuck Bronson, I had the G3 and they all locked up in 4 days. Then popped out the shields and got 2 extra days from them until they were completely fucked up.

I had a set of the cheap G2 Bronson’s and was on par with reds. Then got another set and I hate them. I feel like I lose speed fast and almost a feeling I’m dragging something. I hate them. So I’m gonna get some Olympia next or go back to bones reds or the big balls.  I really wanna try Olympia.

Damn I definitely got lucky with my Bronson’s. I’ve had the same set of G2s since 2016 and they’re still going strong although I did pop the shields off recently since they were bent. Got mine direct from NHS.

Also got my first theories deck. Sick graphic with the Sphinx. Haven't set it up yet but my habitat nasa board is on its last leg. I know at any point I'm going to go for a Smith, land in lip, snap the board, and eat shit.

Never had a non Dwindle DSM deck before, so I'm curious to see what it feels like cause dwindle makes great (R7) and shit (resin Hardrock) boards. I'd be bummed if Evisen went to cheap route, but I highly doubt it.

that's a chunky discount, nice.

when this website jackthreads was going out of business a year or two ago everything was 50% off, and then one of my roommates got a hold of an internal, stackable 80% off code through an applicant at his job. long story short, my roommates and i ordered thousands of dollars of random shit at 90% off—we got a few of those watches at $15 bucks each. Good times.

The day after I swore to another person here in a PM that I was done buying decks for a while because I had too many I bought 4. All ScumCo. 3 were because of a crazy sale that I'm not sure was intentional since they reverted the price within 2 hours of my order, and the other was because it's becoming increasingly difficult to find the Pennswood Logo decks. The last one I got was Control which isn't bad but the concave is a bit mellower and a good PW deck is the best pop I've found. They're not as consistent as bareback but it's borderline ludicrous if you get a good one, especially when they're fresh. I've legitimately tapped the tail and hit myself in the chin with one. Plus you get all the cool stickers with the Pennswood ones.

Also got a pair of cool Adidas SB Tiger Stripe camo chinos and a fresh pair of Vans authentic pros and my Indy FH 149s are still barely touched. I'm going to look like I just stepped out of the zumiez back to school sale when I head out in the morning.

Got the first pair cheap on here and loved them, bottom right. Zumiez clearance and dc shoe sale I ended up getting three more for under $50 total. I’ve been trying not to wreck the first pair but now I’m stacked...

Still waiting on my shit from boardparadise. In less than the time it took for them to update my order status, I was able to place and receive an order from Glenzig at Killer Skatepark and Shop (https://www.killerskatepark.com/) and I highly recommend the dude. Threw in a fucking grip of stickers and a thrasher DVD for that authentic skate shop freebie experience.

Bones Hoodie (on sale for $16)
Doh-Doh mediums (currently undergoing bushing madness)
OJ/Creature Bloodsucker 56mm/97a (needed something to make the free shipping mark and I've wanted to try these for a while)
ScumCo Kevin Taylor 8.25 Slasher deck

The only thing that wasn't great about this order is that the deck is Control, not Pennswood. Not only does that mean that it's inferior wood, it means it doesn't come with all the cool shit Pennswood/ScumCo does which for this particular deck was apparently a Jason Mask and some stickers. It was only $40 so I'm not devastated but my last Control deck was pretty disappointing in the pop department and another user here that I have an ongoing dialogue with had the same experience with his Control Scumco. I was debating whether to even set this up or put it up on ebay but I'm going to give them another chance and just hope that it was a bad batch or something. Worse comes to worst I've got a new cruiser.

Yeah it's kind of a crap shoot buying them online. I set it up and got my hopes up that it would be a different story but the wood is just not very good. When you pop it's just a dull thud as opposed to the sharp crack you get with a good stiff deck like bbs or Pwood. It was pretty much dead after an hour and now It reminds me of like a 3 week old creature price point deck. I really wanted to like this board - the graphic, the mellower concave, and the size/wb are all great, but the wood just isn't up to snuff.

Post by: Sativa Lung on August 12, 2019, 04:32:38 PM
Just got a new Terror of Planet X "Mausoleum" deck. It's my second Quincy deck and while I'm not crazy about the concave/shape it's mellow and neutral so it doesn't bother me, but I really like the pop. They almost feel lacquered or something, but they're stiff as hell and just bounce off the ground like a spring.

A quick lesson in why nostalgia is often misleading, I sought out and bought some Black Magic grip a while back and I decided to use it for this deck. It's very smooth like I remembered but I had forgotten just how thin it is. I took a spin to the store and stopped off in a parking lot to play around a little and just in the course of maybe 5 minutes and a dozen attempted tricks it's already chipping around the nose. The deck barely has a scratch on it but the grip looks like it's a month old already. I guess we sometimes forget that there's a reason these products fall out of favor in the first place.

I also got some Hard Luck 6 Ball bearings that are ok, but hopefully they speed up. I ordered what I thought were regular sized hard luck 92a medium bushings but they're fucking tall longboard style bushings so I'm going to have to either cut them or just throw them away. It would have been nice if they'd specified that in the ad.

Been slowly rebuilding my skate DVD collection lately and tend to buy random rare dvds when I come across them. Came up on this one the other day, stoked!

Amazing. I have Dizzy but always wanted this one. Ever since I came across the "htkjn" video on YouTube over a decade ago I always combed eBay to see if a copy was available. It's also how I discovered Ciccone Youth.

I’ll see if I can upload a better quality of it since there’s only that crappy one. Also I’m looking for Dizzy next!

Just got these Gilbert 1's at a Mormon owned thrift store. Since they are pros with the Ultracush insole they are a half size big but for $6 I can't complain. Plus, as you can see, the tread is still practically perfect and the collar still has all of it's padding.


edit: I forgot, I also bought some clothes and took all the hangers off and hung them on the rack by register so the cashier didn't have to just to be nice and because of that he gave me the shoes for $3. Might as well just robbed them for them haha.

BTL, Toronto skater? I got that dream girl deck too! but the pearly white one. Been tempted to pick up one of the matte black dream hawk decks he just put out but the shipping to get them up north is brutal.

Kitchener/Waterloo - I order most of my stuff from Toronto.

The JK deck is gorgeous. No joke about the shipping lol

I wish I had gotten the white pearl. I thought it was sold out but it definitely was not.

psyched to support fellow NJ folk Dick Rizzo, that 8.12", 14.125" wheelbase PS shape is my favorite thing to skate right now. and the materials that make up that hat had me sold right away. foam brim, water resistant nylon fabric

I thought it was really close to this Generator shape that a shop uses for their decks.  I also dislike Real normally, but figured the shape matters more. What mostly bothers me is the top is fully painted and makes the grip look heinous/I fucked up gripping part of it a bit.

They really should have put the Allen & Phillips heads the other way around on that Ace tool. Makes no sense for them to be this way IMO. Other than that it seems pretty cool.

Yeah, I have no idea why anyone would like to have Phillips heads on their hardware but it happens. Still the design IMO is bad as with Allen you don’t need to press down at all like you do with Phillips. With Allen you just need to counteract the spinning from twisting the nut which is easier with a longer lever. Pressing down on the Phillips head is easier with a longer shaft that doesn’t have a long lever at the end.

I've been skating phillips for the last year. Only because in my case they were cheaper.

It was a tough pill to swallow but I don't notice it anymore.

I took advantage of the Primitive $20 mystery boards. I have a bunch of cash-back rewards on my credit card that I never use, so it's as if Discover bought me the boards. They sent 3 Dragonball Z themed decks that I'll cover with spraypaint. At least they didn't send me Pickle Rick boards

Ugghhhh I ordered 3 too. Hoping for no dragon ball z bullshit but highly doubt that’s going to happen. What size did you get?
I don't understand caring enough to do anything other than just setting it up and skating it.

Yea I don’t get it either. It’s not the last skateboard you’re ever going to ride. But do whatever you want, it’s your shit.

I got those white aves. I really like them. There is no reason this shoe should cost $100 though.

Giving some love to the local shop cuz they actually have stuff I like and are rad otherwise too.

Real Ishod 8.5" Twin Tail + Jessup
Emerica Reynolds Low Vulc (Canvas)

Skating one of the earlier 8.5" twin tails right now and I really like it. I'm not sure why I'd need a nose that's different from the tail. 🤔

These might be the last pair of Reynolds Emericas I'll get if the rumors are true. Been skating Vans Slip On Pros now and even though cupsoles have their benefits I actually might prefer the feel of vulcs in the end. Also stoked that they're canvas. I'm not convinced that I need killed animals on my feet. 🤔

I couldn’t sleep so I got out of bed and ended up ordering a set of Acid Chem Co. Pods (55mm, 86a), some sort of ugly (striped!) but non-synthetic and comfy-looking pants that were on sale dirt cheap, a pair of yellow bamboo socks and a pair of Adidas 3st.004 that were half off. Good deals all around but still feeling a bit ashamed about it since I shouldn’t really be spending right now.

Hey Roisto that deck is the glow in the dark one right? I was looking at getting one before but I didn't realize it was a twin tail - now I'm really interested.

I decided that I'm going to test Ronald McRockald's oft-cited rant about how the best bearings come from Europe and everything from China is trash so I picked up 2 sets of German bearings  - one GMN and one FAG.

They're both lubricated with grease and need to be broken in before I can really compare but my first impression is that they don't seem to be special. Both have metal retainers (which I think is slower than plastic/nylon), the GMN have a yellowish one that I assume is bronze and the FAG look to be just steel. Im curious to see how they feel after a couple weeks but so far they're pretty pedestrian.

Yeah they're legit. The GMN are NOS from ebay. They were a more common "premium" bearing back in the day, so there's still cases of them floating around. I believe old school skates sells NOS ones.

For the FAGs I found a guy in the Czech Republic who supplies industrial parts and he ordered them for me. Most suppliers don't want to bother with such small quantities and they often have like a 100 piece minimum order or they'll charge a bunch for shipping, so this was the easiest and cheapest way I found. They were I believe $28 including shipping and the whole process took about a month.

I work with printing machines in EU and I’ve been using those FAG ones as a spare bearing for as long I can remember as we have tons of them lying around. Those are your typical indystrial bearing, you can get some more speed out of them if you pop them shields and change some speed cream for lubricant but no way you can get them as fast as swiss...

The GMNs were what everyone had back when I was young. You dreamed about getting swiss, but they were unrealistically expensive for a 12 year old so it was germans. These days I don't think I skate fast enough that it really matters what I have. I'm riding reds currently and they suit my needs just fine.

These days I don't think I skate fast enough that it really matters what I have. I'm riding reds currently and they suit my needs just fine.

Yeah I got them mostly because I wanted to see if there was any validity to the claims made by the purveyor of Rock em' Sock em' Ronald's Cock Rockin' Knee Knockin' Shockin' Pocket Rockets™. There's so much marketing hype and misinformation on the topic of bearings and I wanted to kind of de-mystify it all. I've been saying for a while that just because a bearing is cheap and made in china it doesn't mean it's bad. I have a set of Flip HKD 7's that are better than my swiss, and I just bought a set of $8 bearings on amazon that are incredibly smooth and fast - I thought they accidentally sent me ceramics at first because they were so quiet. Plus GMN were the first bearing upgrade I ever purchased so that was a bit of a nostalgia thing too.

My first impression is that they're both good bearings, but the FAGs are the better of the two. They aren't crazy fast like 6 ball swiss but what they do seem to be really good at, especially the FAGs, is holding speed once you've built it up. They take a little bit of time to warm up, but once you're going you can definitely coast longer than with reds. There's a little hill on my way home from work that I hit and can usually coast for a fair bit on before I start pushing, but with these I was able to coast significantly longer and actually only stopped because I hit an intersection. I don't know if thats because of the thicker lube or because they're just a better bearing, but once I've got them broken in and have a good idea of what to expect I'll break them down and clean the lube out, then try them with speed cream to give me a better idea. 

Also just throwing it out there but if you can grab a hand full of those bearings from work without anyone noticing you could probably make some good side cash selling them on ebay. I'd definitely buy another set.

Bought one of those Theories VX bags, not to throw a camera in but it looks like a good sized shoulder bag to keep my stuff in all day long. The guys they got to make it have a real good reputation for bags so I’m hoping this’ll be a solid purchase

Since everyone is doing the mystery box thing lately I decided to bite on the DOA one, I've been skating a Pat Washington 9 lives flat as fuck lately and I love it but sometimes I want a little more of a pocket or steeper kicks and I've been told that the standard SC concave is rather nice. It was my first SC deck and it totally lived up to the reputation of being great wood, so I'm hyped to try the standard concave.

If anyone is interested ScumCo has  Pennswood logo decks  (http://www.scumcoandsons.com/merch/dave-abair-national-geographic-dd2g5-zz4y7-kgrrf-e8n37-wm3a2-mhrtx-ts7gx-d8wka) back in stock for $55 shipped with Mob. I'd recommend getting them now if you want one because the Pennswood ones usually go pretty quick.

Here in Chile Adidas website had really good deals.
Grabbed some weird Busenitz pro with a weird honeycomb thingy thing on the toe. Also some City cups and 3MC which I wanted to try since a long while.

New Bushings after realizing I been on the same ones for 2 years ib different trucks and that's why they weren't sitting right. Got harder bushings and loosened up my trucks.

Also got some 52mm bones stf V3's and ordered a custom deck w/ a picture of me, my GF and the Dog as a possible wall hanger.

I somehow lost the bushings that came with my aces (did a lot of truck experimentation the past couple months). I've been running em with bones mediums but it doesn't feel right so I picked these up to get things back to normal.

Switched to Thunders right after getting hurt and couldn’t skate all summer. I’ve ridden Indy forever and now I realize I need a bigger wheelbase deck and probably some smaller wheels because I’m getting a lot of  and can’t pop. Just hate ordering decks. Wheels are kind of expensive too eh?

IDK, I make a lot of aesthetic choices in my setup. That's why I skate bones bushings. I think slim wheels are more appealing. As far as how they skate. They're the same formula so the feel more or less the same, any nuance caused by changing shape can equally be attributed to me kind of sucking lately.

I just switched to thunders and I’m thinking about getting a set of risers to give me a little more height. I find myself air balling a lot of tricks if I don’t remind myself to pop more into the pop but I’m getting there

The sacred tape and a Hawk birdhouse from 2000. Reynolds has a clip riding this one in the video

I'm jealous of both of these things.

I still want to get an original Falcon 3 to hang on the wall.

Not only is it one of the greatest graphics of all time, it's also the first real board that I ever had.

I always wanted that one. It was one I rode in the games. Birdhouse is missing out on my adult money by not doing re-issues. This current run on birdhouse decks out aren't really doing it for me.

Oh I fully agree. I would buy a bunch of re-issue Birdhouse decks if they put them out.

Between the Hawk boards, Reynolds, Heath, etc.... they can just have all my money.

Always wanted that graphic but I think they only made it in like an 8 which was too big at the time. Everyone though that board was so sick when it came out.

The falcon 1 is my favorite of the series.

As for the reissues go, as much as i'd be down it would just completely f*ck collectors over. Most birdhouse decks from 97-01 are worth anywhere from the lower hundreds up to almost $4,000.
I paid like $115 for the hawk full skull which was skated previously so its pretty blemished. A mint one would probably be around $3-500, maybe more depending on the colorway. One of these heath goop guys sold for over $3500!!)

That heath scarecrow deck is worth about 2k. imagine spending that much and having them do a reissue...

Damn shame though.. imo that era of birdhouse had the best graphics in the history of skateboarding.

Tactics has never failed once same as CCS I get the corniness of online shopping and the products you want specifically aren't at the local.

  I just refuse to buy from my local for his shiesty business scam. Say something that's been out for a while and  should be in the bargain bin he'll charge full price.

 fuck man I saw a Famous Stars and Straps shirt there for full price?! Who the fuck wants that gear any ways?! 

While I am at it I'll out this shop Shred Shed in Lake Worth yeah you might get a good deck or two or some shoes but unless you got money to burn go for it but No way am I buying crap from this dude,

Blasted through my Vans learning how to ollie yesterday, so today I bought myself a new pair of shoes. I've owned skate shoes forever, Vans and chucks have always fit my wide feet well. I wanted to try some Emericas but every pair I tried was too narrow in the toe box for my big ass gorilla feet. I ended up settling on the Etnies Joslins. I haven't skated in them yet, but I really like how grippy the Michelin soles are just standing on my board, and they're really comfortable. Probably the most money I've ever spent on shoes; I hope they last a while. If not, trick tape here I come!

I also picked up a set of 52mm Bones STF V1s and a Bones bearing tool - highly recommended! Made removing and installing bearings so easy.

These were $83, beat my favorite pair of Sperrys by ~$3. I hope they last, but I'm looking forward to the improved board feel (compared to my Vans) regardless. I feel much more planted now, even just dicking around in the driveway.

Ah, you're right. I had the shoes wrong. The ones I got are called the Marana Michelin, but they still have Joslin's name on them, oddly enough. They're supposed to be even more durable than the regular Joslins.

The Marana was originally shecks shoe, from like 2011. Sheck of course fell off and etnies pivoted to a team shoe, then started slapping Joslin's name on it before his own shoe came out. Also if you like look at the the promo material for the Joslin, it's basically a marana with a different skin on the outside.

Sweet, I'll definitely check those out. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Never had Etnies before so I'd never really looked into them too much.

never spent more than $50 for shoes? Either way should be a big upgrade for you
[close]

These were $83, beat my favorite pair of Sperrys by ~$3. I hope they last, but I'm looking forward to the improved board feel (compared to my Vans) regardless. I feel much more planted now, even just dicking around in the driveway.

The Maranas will have many things better in them than a pair of Vans but boardfeel will definitely not be one of them.

Got a trip down for a wedding, thought I would pick up a local board. First time skating a board with a fiber insert; last one I skated was a Darkstar one a decade ago and it snapped.

Curious to know what you think of the tensors. I ended up getting a pair and so far they've been my favorite truck. They've got these little nubs on the base plate that dig into your board a bit so the trucks don't wobble around and warp the mounting holes like I've had with other trucks (theeve, thunder, indy were all really bad for this for some reason).

I really like them. I had some venture highs ages ago which were pretty good too, I just didn't find they turned as much as I'd like. I went to these after I started grinding the kingpin on my aces, so far I'm loving it. Good turn with various tweaks like the lower kingpin go a long way.

You'll get used to it. Also breaking in shoes is really important IMO. I hate new shoes. I always break in my skate shoes by walking with them for a good while and almost always I think that the shoes I'm about to retire are the best ever because they're so one with the foot. Doesn't matter if it's a vulc or a cupsole. On cupsoles I really like the sturdiness and support and the fact that they're generally beefier. Feels more secure even though I don't jump down anything big at all. Vulcs are just more floppy and laid back and sometimes that's nice too.  :)

Thanks for the advice. I've been wearing them inside the house Mr. Rogers style for the past few days and I walked a mile in them last night, they are definitely starting to feel a little better, but it's taking longer than I expected. Damn wide feet.

Just a heads up, these shirts are oddly sized...the medium fits me like a small but with really short fucking sleeves, the elastic 'cuff' barley made it to mid forearm - it fits loosely on my 14year old offspring and that's without a wash and/or shrink. I think one good run in a warm wash and dry cycle and it will fit a youth sized person.a

I'd order a size up (if not two).

Don’t really know where to put this I couldn’t find a review/thoughts on products thread.

For what it’s worth I’m about 5 sessions in on my  aves and yesterday I noticed they got a hole seemingly out of no where on the inside of the foot where it’s mesh. It’s in my front foot so it can’t be from scooping the board. Suede and sole still holding up. Just wanted see if anyone else had similar issues or maybe it happened from taking a spill.

Still skate and feel great but I thought they had Duracap under the mesh or something but they don’t.

Exactly! I didn’t pay full price and that’s the only reason I’m not completely pissed. 20% off plus I won 50$ at a casino the day I got them. But either way you shouldn’t have to be careful with a skate shoe. I thought I saw in the ad or something duracap was under the shoe but maybe I misunderstood.

I got some tensor mag lights. Besides the obvious lightness, I can say they actually turn ok. In comparison I had Destructo d2s before and the tensors have been able to turn about the same without having to be as loose. This is with stock bushings vs the destructos which had Indy aftermarket bushings. Grinds feel good just like the destructos.

The same way they fit under the suede or canvas in other vans pros. They have the duracap in that same area on my old skool pros and slip on pros. And if they can't do that, then maybe don't make that area fucking mesh of all materials.

Still skate and feel great but I thought they had Duracap under the mesh or something but they don’t.
[close]
I don't get how vans has the gall to charge 100 retail and not put duracap under the weakest material of the shoe.
[close]

Dude I totally agree. I don’t know how that got past them, every person who’s had those shoes that I have talked to have ripped it in the same spot.
I threw shoe goo on it but I would have been more pissed had I paid full price.

[close]

So, you want a piece of rubber under the mesh? How would that work?
[close]
The same way they fit under the suede or canvas in other vans pros. They have the duracap in that same area on my old skool pros and slip on pros. And if they can't do that, then maybe don't make that area fucking mesh of all materials.

Maybe i'm saying some dumb shit, but wouldn't you be ruining the purpose of the mesh by blocking the breathability with rubber? Maybe they should use another material. But having skated the first ave pro rapidweld i would prefer some destroyed mesh instead of a sweaty, hot as hell floppy shoe.

Maybe a perforated duracap or mesh in non wear areas thats not at the toe? Either way, this seems like an issue that should have been caught at the sample stage. Their marketing for this shoe is "demand perfection." I'm just demanding perfection before I spend the 100 on the kicks.

Vans was marketing as “unrivaled durability” and I thought I saw a vans slogan of something like most durable shoe. I def thought duracap was under mesh. That’s on me for assuming but just wanna say if you’re thinking about grabbing them get them on sale.

I got some tensor mag lights. Besides the obvious lightness, I can say they actually turn ok. In comparison I had Destructo d2s before and the tensors have been able to turn about the same without having to be as loose. This is with stock bushings vs the destructos which had Indy aftermarket bushings. Grinds feel good just like the destructos.

Been pleasantly surprised with the new tensors, moved from aces and I prefer the tensors which I never thought would happen.

The only thing that sucks about ordering online on the weekend is it feels like it takes forever for shit to come in the mail.
As an addendum to this, don't buy anything from thedrop.com as they have a skate selection.  Ordered it this weekend from them and they cancelled my order two days later, citing an "inventory miscalculation."  They dragged their heels on the refund but thankfully Skate Warehouse held me down.  Unfortunately my dumb ass forgot to get the free Black Magic grippe that came to it (I am an old) but at least the big boy is on its way.

The OG Big Boy is 9", and was perfect with 8.5" trucks, so Ace 44 should be fine especially if you push the wheels out. I stopped riding the Big Boy Jr. when they stopped making it, super bummed on Chico and Chocolate after that. Why get everyone hyped on a shape then quit making it?

I went to a skate jam today and a local shop was doing 50 percent off everything. I grabbed two primitive DBZ boards for my wall. Piccolo and Perfect Cell. I already have Future Trunks, (still wanting a vegeta) I also got some 60mm green slime balls wheels. Some Bones reds and That rad Independent tool. All in all I dropped a bill on it all. Then skated the park. Good day with the girlfriend, we met up with her mom for lunch afterwards. 10/10

Shop didn't have F4 Conical Fulls in any size except 56mm. I've been curious about the OG Classic shape, and although I don't usually skate colored wheels, I was immediately drawn to these for some reason looking at the rest of the selection. They feel great based off of the short session I had this evening and even though they aren't F4 at least they're 99a as it is soon approaching indoor season where I live.

Edit: Also, I was gifted a pair of riptide pivot cups and they're pretty great. I've used them in Indys, and currently on Ventures and they feel very nice. Smooth and responsive.

I'm eyeing the Reflex or Indy ones just because they seem more well built than others, but they're $25. I also don't want to cheap out and have the tool fall apart like some others I've had.

FWIW I've had the same reflex tool since 2005 and it has held up magnificently. The rethreader is carbon steel so it has some oxidation/rust marks but it hasn't hand any kind of effect on the functionality.

I had to snag the whole drop. Was happy to see it all sell out in a few hours at Comfort.
Dang it’s a damn shame Nicky/Chris doesn’t want to do online sales.

I want to rep comfort here in Floriduh but no way I can get it here.

Any recommendations for a skate tool that includes a rethreader?

I'm eyeing the Reflex or Indy ones just because they seem more well built than others, but they're $25. I also don't want to cheap out and have the tool fall apart like some others I've had.
I have the Indy tool, two days after getting it the Allen/Phillips part broke. The weld they used for the T shape of the metal was complete garbage. The rest of the tool seems to be good though.

I still have my reflex tool, it's ancient, mounting hardware socket broke off first week, kept it around for the threader. I mainly use a silver tool (of which the chintzy file fell off on first use).

So these fallens were a fucking bust. The fit is fucking terrible.

Length = true to size (size 10)
Width in the toe box = Great

Ankle/Heel area = complete fucking disaster

Very little padding, which is fine but damn you'd need MONSTER feet to fill the ankle area; swapped out for thick footprints and fat socks and it's still loose as fuck; I can fit multiple fingers under the 'tongue' area and the heel just swims around and slips with every step.

I could not imagine skating in them as you can hardly walk around in them without feeling like you are about to slip out of them.

Compare to Vans pro slips or lakai it's like wonderbread bag shoes.

Baker hat from ebay
7.875 x 31.25 Baker Reynolds 'tonal'. Kinda bummed because all the websites listed this board as an "O.G. shape, mellow concave" which would make it the only baker deck in the 7.75-7.875 range that has the mellow concave shape. Came in the mail and its the steep concave shape :( not a huge deal breaker, but the kicks are much more full on the steep shape than the mellow shape.
Mob grip. Hilariously, this is my first time betraying jessup in ~10 years and the sheet came all wrinkled and scuffed. Jessup knows.
Huf Cromer 2. Ice cold. I didn't think id like them as much as I do, especially for $50.

Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

I just ordered an 8" Quasi Happiness deck, some MOB grip, Spitfire F4 52mm 99A Radial Slims, Bones Hardcore Hard Bushings, more Bones Speed Cream and some stickers.

I prefer 8.125 decks for my "tech" board but Quasi decided to make all of their 8.125s only 14.125 WB and 31.75" long and their 8.0s 14.25 and 32.375 long.  Seems backwards to me...

I usually ride Bones Hardcore Mediums but I'm getting a bit too much wheel bite on my Thunder 147 Hollow Lights so I'm hoping Hards will help without losing too much carve.  Also I typically rock 101-103a wheels on this board but it's about to snow this week meaning it's indoor park season so I grabbed the 99A Spits.

Scooped up a very lightly used 2nd hand setup, barely skated with nose and tail fully intact. I was in the mood to try Thunder trucks and managed to snag the following for $110:

Deck - Habitat 8.125
Wheels - Spitfire 52mm Lock-Ins
Trucks - Thunder 148 Titanium Hi
Bearings - Bones Swiss

Even got a Silver skate tool for a grand total of $115.

Normally scumco runs 14 to 14.25 depending on the rider. The logo boards are all 14 and I think the length was around 31.6
Ran scumco pretty much all of last year. I can measure if you want

Damn you found Radials? Seems like Radials are impossible to find.  Same with 99a Conical Fulls above size 52. If I’m getting Conical Fulls it’s going to be a 99a 54mm crust buster setup so it blows not being able to find any. Tablets are ok but if I’m skating that kind of setup it’s in small midwestern towns so I’d like to actually be able to slappy...

I might stock up on some 52mm Radial Slims in both duros, 52-54mm 99a Classics, and 54mm 99a Conicals (Conical Fulls if I can find them).  Not too worried though... STF V1s and V3s are super solid for a hard techier wheel. It’s hard to find something close to as good as 99a Conical Fulls for crusty spots though.

I’m skeptical about the rumors but who knows.  F4 stock seeks to be low with everything but Classics and Tablets right now but it could be people like you stocking up causing it?  I hope.

This is actually the first set of rails I've had since 1990. I put them closer to the center because of the concave. I've seen people put them all over. One kid at the park had some in a V at the center of the board. The screws they came with were shit, though. I had to get some new ones from the hardware store. Thanks, Pig.

Are you concerned with urethane aging? Maybe you should seal the wheels in a foil bag. Urethane tends to age over time so I would just be concerned the wheels will be harder and duller over time.

I appreciate your preparedness though.

with the rails as pic'd, it should be easier to do rail, hurricane, rail, feable type stuff. rails all the way on the edge, not so much. not saying can't be done though.

Really loving the shape and I got lucky with a crisp and mellow press.  Also the red veneer underneath is so sexy.  The contrast between the white and red is perfect.  I also love how all of the other plies are a really shiny natural pale color (besides the middle yellow one) and the top one is black.

Ordering a size down would just cramp your toes due to being too small. That said, as for being slip ones, one can indeed slip in and out of them with little effort...so they got the nomenclature correct...

Compared to Vans pro slips or lakai owens, they're like wearing wonderbread bag shoes.

somewhat skateshit related, i found a brand new baggy jeans in a thrift store courtesy of mythical and long defunct local skatebrand ayume. it's just a light blue 2000ish baggy jeans, but it comes with a big ass stash pocket and fits right and was dirt cheap. everytime someone shows up with an ayume item, all the mid 30s and older guys would inspect it like some artifact of a lost culture. it's like our illuminati skateboards, except it actually existed for some time.

Either way, I'm getting nervous my Chico I ordered the same time will get snatched before the video can ship. I hate not have a local to just walk in to. Makes me want to open my own lil shop, even b it it's just a pop up every weekend or something.

Length = true to size (size 10)
Width in the toe box = Great
Zero arch

Ankle/Heel area = complete fucking disaster

Very little padding, which is fine but damn you'd need MONSTER feet to fill the ankle/heel area; swapped out for thick footprints and fat socks and it's still loose as fuck; I can fit multiple fingers under the 'tongue' area and the heel just swims around and slips with every step.

I could not imagine skating in them as I can hardly walk around in them without feeling like I'm about to slip out I'm literally clomping around with them on like a kid wearing their dad's shoes (well not that bad but close ;).

Ordering a size down would just cramp your toes due to being too small. That said, as for being slip ones, one can indeed slip in and out of them with little effort...so they got the nomenclature correct...

Compared to Vans pro slips or lakai owens, they're like wearing wonderbread bag shoes.

Accidentally modified my post instead of quoting; don't want to let the fit of the Fallen easys escape those that might be interested.

This is a shame, I wonder how the other Fallen lines are doing

there was a factory change or something for F4's and the production was temporarily fucked up, but a few people kind freaked out and thought F4's were done forever. i'm pretty sure this is the rumor being referred to here.

Etnies Mirana. Super comfortable. Anybody know how to keep the tongue from falling to the side in these? Also Thunder 148 team edition. I love these trucks. Great turn. No modification needed.

I’ve got the same problem with mine. They’re the mid’s with the Goodyear outcomes if it makes a difference.

You're adapting to the Yinzer life quickly I see. Did the shop restock on boards? I might stop by this afternoon or tomorrow to grab a sheet of grip and some winter bearings.

Got an amazing box in the mail a few days ago. A delicious 8.38 square shape and 8.25 Flat as Fuck topped with a creamy white tee shirt and garnished with an almost overwhelming amount of stickers. DOA never disappoints but he really outdid himself this time.

At my local. https://thedayoff.fi/

No one skates 58s so these were one of the few sets of F4s they had left. I usually skate 54s. I plan on setting them up once summer is here on a shaped deck for some extra good slappy times and rough spots.

Ooh, didn't know that's a twin tail. Seems to be a slick too. That's really nice! 👍

I've been skating the 8.5" twin tail recently and really like it. The 8.3" feels a tad bit too small for me personally but if those dimensions suit you I think you might end up really liking it.

This is also my first slick, and I ain't good at slides already as it is, so this going to be interesting.

Coming from the Palace I was skating it's definitely shorter, and finding the manny point is a little bit harder for me. The smaller wheel base feels nice, and since I mainly do shove's, it nice not having to worry about if I'm using the tail or nose anymore.

I (impulse) bought it on my recent New Zealand trip. To be honest, it's  wider than I usually ride (I like 8 - 8.125)... so I imagine I'll have to buy wider trucks (my nightmare). Have pondered selling on eBay to avoid buying new trucks, lol.

Have you tried cleaning your set of swiss? mine slowed down after about 3 months of light use so I cleaned them according to bones instructions with acetone in the cleaner kit and applied two drops of speed cream each. They like new now.

I had a set of Bronson and they were the worst bearings I've ever had.

Bronson G3s are by far the worst bearings I've ever had. Crowns in pieces in half of the bearings after skating low impact stuff for a few months. Complete waste of money. Also no reply from them when I complained about them being so shit. So fuck Bronson forever.

My G3 lasted me really 3 sessions. That damn black metal ring got fucked up and pretty much raped the bearing causing a full stop and then shit just exploded.
Never again anything from Bronson.

You might try reaching out to Bones about your issue with their cages. I broke two cages on a month-old set of Swiss and reached out to them and they sent me replacements, albeit with some hesitation, after verifying I bought the bearings from an authorized dealer.

Bronson G3s are by far the worst bearings I've ever had. Crowns in pieces in half of the bearings after skating low impact stuff for a few months. Complete waste of money. Also no reply from them when I complained about them being so shit. So fuck Bronson forever.

Same deal here. Month of super low impact stuff resulting in shattered crowns in half the bearings. I didn't bother with customer service though, no desire to have anymore of those things in my life.

Stay away from Bronson and all of these crap brands like Andale. If you don't want to spend money, go for the Bones Big Balls. Best value so far. It's not as good as the Swiss, but they hold very well compared to Reds or Super Reds.

I've been skating bones swiss for a long time but the lifespan of my last set was totally shit. I just did not really feel like dropping $60 on another set to have them blow out again. Anyway, I'm pretty skeptical but I'm giving these G3's a whirl...anyone have any experience with them?

Those things are trash, I’m always bones Swiss but I had one set of those in a cruise and they blew out pretty quick. Maybe try cleaning your Swiss, it’s a pain in the ass but worth it .

Have you tried cleaning your set of swiss? mine slowed down after about 3 months of light use so I cleaned them according to bones instructions with acetone in the cleaner kit and applied two drops of speed cream each. They like new now.

I've never actually tried cleaning bearings before to get more life out of them. What's the best (i.e. safe/environmentally responsible) way to dispose of the acetone after cleaning?

Decided to spontaneously order a Sony TRV900 last night. It's not the illustrious VX1 but I'm really excited to have something of my own to go out with.


Well, my camera showed up today and it turns out the guy mislabeled it. Not a TRV900. oops



I'm sending it back tomorrow and I already found another deal for a CONFIRMED TRV900.

Been hearing good things about Red Big Balls, slightly more expensive than Bones Reds but faster and more durable than Bronson ones.

Few different methods, some greener than others. Obviously the best would be to bring it to a hazardous materials depot site. But if that's not an option, acetone will evaporate relatively quickly in open air. You can also drop pieces of paper towel in the container, let them dry out and bin them. But I personally find that acetone is quite reusable - especially for light work like cleaning bearings. I just keep my used stuff in a mason jar and re-use for next time.

Also, if your bearings arent that fucked and you don't want to mess with heavier chemicals you can try rubbing alcohol.

Do you add speed lube after? I'm curious if I could just clean them without lubing afterwards. Or would that break them down?

I've had my set of swiss for around 3 years, I just clean by shaking in a container with 90+% alcohol, dry them out, and relube with speed cream. Still rolling like a charm.

I've always lubed them afterwards. Alcohol evaporates pretty quickly but I've just never wanted to take the chance.

Make sure to add some speed cream after. One to two drops is normally what I do and then I spin it around between my fingers a bit to spread it out a bit. Then later after I put everything back together, I'll kick spin the wheels to spread it out even more. Dry metal on metal = no bueno.

Maybe not the right place to ask, but is it a good idea to clean the bearings in Acetone with the shields still on? I would like to clean my Swiss but as I always mess and bend the shields when I'm removing them, I don't want to damage the Swiss. Basically the question is: does the rubber shields will get damaged by Acetone ?

Easiest way to remove shields: grab a needle and poke them out through the other side.  :)

def take off the shields first. i use an opened safety pin to push out the shield from opposite side w/o a shield.
push thru the space in the cage to pop the shield out. i dulled the tip of the safety pin on some old grip first, and i keep that safety pin with my bearing tool goodies.

There's been no Thunder 147's available here (Okinawa) for about 4-5 months time so when I went to the shop today to see if they got any of those or Spitfire Radials all I noticed was the walls full of old and mostly unwanted Dwindle (I still love Enjoi) and Santa Cruz decks, one Frog deck, a nearly empty truck case (except for Indy) and other than one set of black Lock-Ins, a completely empty and dusty Spitfire shelf. I wish they carried more variety because whenever DLX misses shipments (which has been happening a lot lately) the shop looks pitiful, for months... The guy working today basically said "DLX can slurp (or suck) my butt (loosely translated), they keep screwing us over and only send soft goods and shitty black wheels since summer months". I told him not to put all your eggs in one basket but I think that went right over his head and stuck to the wall of shitty decks.

I order some things from the US but the shipping and time it takes to get here is somewhat of an expensive bummer.

(Duh duh duh!) Then, all of the sudden, a box behind the counter....two sets of trucks I have never seen before (in person) spotted out of the corner of my eye! A black set and a silver set of the new Tensor Mag Lights with the updated geometry. 5.5 models too, just what I need size-wise!

So, after my long, whiny and complaint filled story. I got a set of Tensors to try out on an Alien Workshop 8"/14.25"WB or a Theories 8.125"/14.25"WB to see how these things are. I hope I like them because they were really fucking expensive!!! Good god damn they were expensive! I paid the equivalent of $128.00 US dollars for a set of China trucks!

Those are some sexy looking trucks. The skateshop I grew up patronizing has a really tiny selection of trucks. They only carry Indys (139-159, hollow or standard), some Santa Cruz decks, Mini Logo, Bones and Powell stuff. Other odds and ends includes a Hollywood board (remember those from the late 2000s), 2 Black Label boards, 1 BLVD and a very early Sierra Fellers pro board. They had a competitive selection in the 1990 - 2000s but just lost distributors over the years and didn't change their product line up with the times; which makes it hard to keep supporting them.

Yes, there are...in Japan (mainland). I'm in Okinawa. Shipping here from mainland for say something like a deck costs more than it does from the US when you figure in the current exchange rate, tariff, price difference and air shipping to Okinawa. I also have to pay a delivery fee for large items shipped within Japan as our mail carriers ride small motorcycles with bins on the back. They do not charge this additional fee for Internationally shipped parcel since a tariff is already charged. If I order from Tactics the International Shipping + Tariff and price difference is much less than the cost of shipping from mainland and is usually here in under two weeks. For example a deck in the shop in Okinawa typically costs around ¥10,000 about $92.00 US dollars. I can buy a deck from Tactics, pay for international shipping and tariff and it will cost me around $75.00 to $80.00 US dollars. Shipping a board from mainland Japan from someplace like Prime Tokyo would cost me around ¥14,000-¥15,000 ($128.00 to $138.00 US) depending on deck price plus special delivery fee. So mainland is actually the most expensive option by far. I would much prefer to pay just a little more than the US price to buy and support at my local shop but they are having a hard time getting the things skaters really want through distributors so I have to mail order many things. Regarding the shortage of Thunder 147's, this seems to be a worldwide thing as it is with Spitfire because I called a couple shops on mainland and they don't have them either. Hence the Tensors...

The asphalt is mostly very rough and slippery and there's lots of sewer grates everywhere so cruising around can be challenging. There's a couple of concrete parks like Ginowan and Gushikawa that are okay. They are all concrete but it is all above ground and somewhat poorly designed. Haebaru is all above ground pre-fab ramps and usually full of American military dependents who love to leave trash and cigarettes everywhere and love to start fights for some reason so we avoid it. If you can get on the US bases and deal with the kids, scooters and have a helmet they have some okay parks but it's all that above ground pre-fab metal stuff too. A lot of parks are really hidden, I drove by one up north near Nago I had no idea existed but it was all pre-fab, nothing unique. Skating hasn't gotten quite as huge in Okinawa like it has in mainland. I hope someday we get a proper concrete park with bowls and such though. We have a few spots we frequent with some decent ledges or nice inclines but either get kicked out or there's too many parked cars. My friend has a portable rail and kicker we take to some more open parking lots. There's a lot of spots at or near the resorts that line the Western Coast further up north but you get kicked out quick. The further away you get from Naha, the easier it is to find more open spots that aren't usually aren't watched. There's some good spots around some of the schools. So, it's no skaters paradise but I'm sure there are many who have it much worse so we manage and keep trying to find new spots.

Edit: I forgot to add that if you are here again then Gushikawa is my favorite of the parks. It's in Uruma by a large gym so it's easy to park and isn't usually too crowded.

But, but there’s so many good skate shops in Japan that ship anywhere domestically for orders over $100...
[close]

Yes, there are...in Japan (mainland). I'm in Okinawa. Shipping here from mainland for say something like a deck costs more than it does from the US when you figure in the current exchange rate, tariff, price difference and air shipping to Okinawa. I also have to pay a delivery fee for large items shipped within Japan as our mail carriers ride small motorcycles with bins on the back. They do not charge this additional fee for Internationally shipped parcel since a tariff is already charged. If I order from Tactics the International Shipping + Tariff and price difference is much less than the cost of shipping from mainland and is usually here in under two weeks. For example a deck in the shop in Okinawa typically costs around ¥10,000 about $92.00 US dollars. I can buy a deck from Tactics, pay for international shipping and tariff and it will cost me around $75.00 to $80.00 US dollars. Shipping a board from mainland Japan from someplace like Prime Tokyo would cost me around ¥14,000-¥15,000 ($128.00 to $138.00 US) depending on deck price plus special delivery fee. So mainland is actually the most expensive option by far. I would much prefer to pay just a little more than the US price to buy and support at my local shop but they are having a hard time getting the things skaters really want through distributors so I have to mail order many things. Regarding the shortage of Thunder 147's, this seems to be a worldwide thing as it is with Spitfire because I called a couple shops on mainland and they don't have them either. Hence the Tensors...

How's skating in Okinawa? I was only there for a couple days and mainly stuck to the beaches and peoples sushi.
[close]

The asphalt is mostly very rough and slippery and there's lots of sewer grates everywhere so cruising around can be challenging. There's a couple of concrete parks like Ginowan and Gushikawa that are okay. They are all concrete but it is all above ground and somewhat poorly designed. Haebaru is all above ground pre-fab ramps and usually full of American military dependents who love to leave trash and cigarettes everywhere and love to start fights for some reason so we avoid it. If you can get on the US bases and deal with the kids, scooters and have a helmet they have some okay parks but it's all that above ground pre-fab metal stuff too. A lot of parks are really hidden, I drove by one up north near Nago I had no idea existed but it was all pre-fab, nothing unique. Skating hasn't gotten quite as huge in Okinawa like it has in mainland. I hope someday we get a proper concrete park with bowls and such though. We have a few spots we frequent with some decent ledges or nice inclines but either get kicked out or there's too many parked cars. My friend has a portable rail and kicker we take to some more open parking lots. There's a lot of spots at or near the resorts that line the Western Coast further up north but you get kicked out quick. The further away you get from Naha, the easier it is to find more open spots that aren't usually aren't watched. There's some good spots around some of the schools.

The ATG Tensors are fantastic trucks. Really. They carve great in bowls and very responsive street-wise. Stable with stock bushings, which are medium/hard, less stable using bones softs (bone mediums would probably be the jam).

I've been on mine for 2+ weeks, and the more I skate them (8.25"s) the more they feel like quicker Indys crossed with carvy Thunders (after swapping out for Bones Softs, stock bushings are too hard for my taste); the mag lites grind like butter and are stupid light )+ no baseplate length issues if that's your pain.

Severely underrated, and I don't think they'll ever shake the stigma they've built over the years. An aluminum hollow would be sweet but due to the lack of popularity they just went opposite ends of the spectrum.

HOWEVER, I set up some new, stock ACEs today on a wider ride (wide, low + skinny 52mm wheels) and man...fuck you, ACE! You make is so hard not to love that turn...(one half turn looser than stock) plus I anytime I get on 55mm trucks (like the Tensors) I lose my sense of stability.

MADNESS.

The only odd thing about those Tensors is the weight, they really just might be too light, especially if you grind a lot,  they just have this 'hollow' feeling to them when in contact with anything (if you skate standard trucks and grind pool coping, crubs or ledges, you'd hate the way these feel).

Thanks for the info man. I'll keep that in mind, while me and my buddies were there we noticed the military presence. My Japanese friends was telling me the locals aren't too fond of them cause of the bullshit you mentioned. I saved a 2000 yen note from the last time I was there so I should go over again to spend it all on sushi.

Also Xens description of the tensor trucks is pretty apt. I was hesitant when I got a pair of ATGs but so far they've been my perfect truck.

Did you check out what it does to the Wheelbase? Most my board and deck combinations have an axle to axle wheelbase of between 17.19 - 17.9, I feel like 17.3 - 17.5 might be the sweet spot for me.

I don't have measurements on hand but it widens the wheelbase compared to ACEs or indys however it's slightly narrower than thunder so the wheels don't touch on slides. I really like this as a taller dude.

Of course you have your own domestic brands but is it like Australia where shit is last to get newest hottest trends from the states? ie latest gear ?

I have wanted to go to check it out, just to experience it from a locals perspective not a tourist kook.

Where’s the spots for punk/metal venues? Is there a local park where people meet up? Much like Lolita, Kawaii Harijuku?

GF hooked it up, she got it cause she liked the duck graphic. Haven't skated a DSM board since I was a kid, let alone a palace board so I'm curious how long it'll last. I fucking LOVE the shape though. The concave is really even and progressive, where I find most boards feel like they have distinct flat and angled parts. The wheelbase is 14.5 which I like as a taller dude (honestly I never check dimensions when I get a board, I just stand on them in the shop and get whatever feels good). The width is 8.5 but it's tapered so flip tricks feel fine, I  actually like the extra room and don't notice the size increase otherwise, hopefully it doesn't shit the bed.

Just got this Jenny deck. It's got the perfect dims (8x31.5, 14" wb) but apparently it's Control wood which has a bad reputation. So that plus the fact that I really like the graphic and it'll be hard to find again is making me wonder if I should save it.

Also bought the Lakai Newports that Nico Hiraga designed a colourway for, the all-white ones with the rose blossoms. The commercial sucked but the shoes are lovely in my opinion.

sorry, I only SLAP on my phone lately so it was taking me a while to reply.
No, Japan (and this just doesn't apply to skating) is really quick at getting good product from a huge range of brands. Japanese people tend to be quite particular about stuff so you can pretty much find skaters that are into every genre/ brand/ sub-culture within skating. Lots of indie brands get a lot of love here!

I mean if you come and find some skaters, they'll probably be down to show you around. Despite the olympics etc. skating is still somewhat "underground" over here, sure not as much as it was 20 years ago but it's still not oversaturated like it is in some countries.

my days of going to gigs are pretty much over at age 40 but there are defs punk pockets or punk neighborhoods in the bigger cities (I live in a rural area these days). Anti-knock in Shinjuku was THE place to go to for shows back in the day and Koenji as a neighborhood was pretty much a punk's wet dream ... probably gentrified these days I'm guessing?

As for your Lolita/ Kawaii question, they are both two things that I have absolutely no interest in but I will say Harajuku isn't like it was in the year 2000, shit was like halloween every weekend, nowadays it just another shopping district in Tokyo with nothing really unique to offer save for a few boutiques that have stood the test of time.

Just bought my younger brother his first skateboard for Christmas. He’s 23 years old and has always preferred team sports over action sports.  I was the one skating, biking and skiing while he was playing basketball, football and baseball.  He has been showing a lot of interest in skating lately and has actually learned a lot about the culture through The Nine Club, talking with me, chilling a few times at the local park when I skate, etc. which is so dope to see.

Deck: Theories New Religion 8.5” x 32.25” x 14.5”
Grip: Classic Black MOB
Trucks: Indy Stage 11 149 Standards (Raw)
Wheels: 54mm Ricta Clouds 92a
Bearings: Bones Reds Big Balls
Hardware: Diamond Supply Boo Johnson 7/8 Allen

The Ricta Clouds in 92a seem like a solid beginner wheel.  Especially in the Midwest with our super crusty ground.  He seemed most worried about cracks and stop rocks but wants to learn some tricks so I figured these in 54mm would be great. Plus if he doesn’t like them for what he chooses to do then he can still keep them or give them to me as a cruiser/filmer wheel.

He also mentioned how much he loved this graphic when I looked at decks with him so that made it an easy choice. Perfect dimensions (he found my 8.0 and 8.25s too short but liked the 32.25 and 32.375 lengths) and BBS wood. BBS lasts so long so I can’t think of a better woodshop for a first board.

He also mentioned liking the one gold bolt look and liking Allen more than Phillips along with liking white wheels, black grip and raw trucks so I think he’s going to love everything here.

I’m so pumped to give it to him this Christmas.

Bearings: Bones Reds Big Balls

He tried the 8.0 and 8.25 I had with me and found the 8.25 decent but wanted bigger since he’s over 6’ tall, muscular/bulky and has size 13 feet so I figured we’d start him with an 8.5.  The 149s are nice and tall and will allow him to go down to an 8.25 or 8.3 if he decides to.  Plus they fit that deck shape and WB well.  He also picked the graphic when we were looking at boards. I just narrowed down the results to 8.5”-8.6” x 32-32.5” x 14.5-14.75” and BBS, PS and Chapman wood.

I just narrowed down the results to 8.5”-8.6” x 32-32.5” x 14.5-14.75” and BBS, PS and Chapman wood.

The Ricta Clouds in 92a seem like a solid beginner wheel.  Especially in the Midwest with our super crusty ground.  He seemed most worried about cracks and stop rocks but wants to learn some tricks so I figured these in 54mm would be great. Plus if he doesn’t like them for what he chooses to do then he can still keep them or give them to me as a cruiser/filmer wheel.

I’m so pumped to give it to him this Christmas.

you get my BOTY vote

Thanks man. I got my even younger brother a skateboard for his birthday but it’s now just a soggy deck with dust on it.  He’s only 13 though and ended up liking biking more so I can’t be too upset. At least he got to try the different sports out before deciding what he wanted to stick with.

Even if this brother doesn’t get super into skating I know he will still ride it around and enjoy it.

That’s a great gift from brother to brother. Solid choices. I’m 6’+ and that size foot and riding an 8.5” now I’m ready for 9”+ haha just wanna slappy

Word. I’m around 5’11”-6’ but I’m only a size 11.5-12 and I grew up skating in the late 90s-early 2000s so I’m used to smaller boards.  I’m stepping up to an 8.375 soon.  I’d go 8.5 but I like a 14.25 wheelbase and the shape of Quasi’s 8.0s and 8.375s more than their super squared 8.5s.  I also ride Thunders since I grew up on Venture Lows.  I just figured the height and carvy feel of Indies would be better for what he wants to do.

Plus now I get to steal his Indies and compare them to Thunder 149s on certain deck shapes lol.

I've been skating bones swiss for a long time but the lifespan of my last set was totally shit. I just did not really feel like dropping $60 on another set to have them blow out again. Anyway, I'm pretty skeptical but I'm giving these G3's a whirl...anyone have any experience with them?

I’ve got the 8.6” wicked queen shape waiting for summer. It’s a rad looking shape. Just got purple rails to put on it too. Good looking board overall. I do wonder how nollies work with that nose though. 🤔

I really like them in person! to me they just look super cool. I won't skate them til its warmer out. They look like they'll hold up until then. No loose threads or panels. The only thing is they run small, probably because of all the padding. I gotta take em back.

Got a pair of Emerica Hsu Low on clearance.

Found a pair of DC shoes off goodwill for $15, thought the soles would hold up. Trouble started when I was walking to the skatepark and saw the sole splitting from the shoe. Lasted 30 minutes of a session before I had to toss the soles.

Black griptape or bust, maybe Grizzly if I'm feeling adventerous.  Shops around here are charging $11 for regular grip and upwards of $20 for graphic griptape from Primitive, Santa Cruz or Spitfire.  Like damn I already spend enough on skateboarding as it is, I'll save my money for boards and shoes.

Clearance Lakai shoes off a China website, made sure it was a vulcanized sole, damn cupsoles don't stand the test of time in the humid tropics.

If someone could help me ID the model, that would be fantastic:

Lakai Howard Selects. Sorry to be the carrier of bad news but selects aren't very good.

Guess that's why they were going for $25.  How are they shitty? 

Well, after the DC shoes that fell apart yesterday my standards are pretty low.  The etnies Manara were not great either, got them for free so I ain't complaining.

You'll see but free is always good.

What issues did you have with the Marana? It's arguably the best skate shoe of the 2010s, and objectively the most durable.

Fixed! Posting pictures from the phone is a pain in the ass. It's a shame they won't fit you nicely, I think they're super comfy and good looking shoes. Altho my girl isn't feeling too much the long tongue but she doesn't understand haha.

I wish I had some money left to cop more pairs a pair of Lucas'.

I got them free (which is great) but they were 1/2 a size too small while feeling a little loose on the heel and lacking heel support area. The guy who passed them to me probably had them lying around for a while so the sole was splitting from the rest of the shoe.

Not sure if things changed, but the selects were made at a time when Lakai shoes had notoriously bad soles. The upper was typically good, but the glue or whatever they used to put the sole together was Elmer's grade.

I'm usually in shorts (tropical weather) so #4 is out. I'll try #2 for a start.

Either way I'm psyched to ride Busenitz's shoe, I'm think the shoes upgraded my bearings from ABEC 7 to 11.

I really like the long tongue, I used to play soccer and I had some Adidas Copa Mundial and Nike Tiempos that had some folding tongues. Either way they are sick, now I understand why they've lasted this much in the market, I wish they'd re-release the original black and gold stripes colorway.

I think he was talking about the WB's. They had a long succession of drops with anything above an 8.25 having a 14.75 + wheelbase. I think the Olson shaped decks even had 15" wheelbases.

Shop near me had this guy a few months ago. I loved the full nose and the slight taper toward the tail but I was contemplating a truck switch at the time and couldn't deal with the wheelbase. A lot of the Max Palmer decks have the same 8.5/14.75" specs.

Walked around 4km both ways to find a skateshop in Australia

(https://i.imgur.com/t5q3t5yl.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/X7XfVRJl.jpg)

Arrow 52mm 83a wheels, Australian brand for $25, Spitfires were going for around twice the price.
19mm wide with a "Straight Shot Cut", which should resemble a Spitfire Radial / Radial Slim but just 1mm wider , which I was looking to try. Don't have a tape measure handy, can't wait to try them this weekend.

In case you're curious about foreign brands:

(https://i.imgur.com/z9UVqwbl.jpg)
Sunrise stated as an 8.5 but is actually 8.475. Length is 31.875 which is kinda scary since I'm used to 32.25-32.5
Love the graphic and is the first time a Chilean company offers different shapes, this one is a square one and it looks like a Hockey board.
Can't wait to try it.

Just got the new Passport video and a bronze 56K hat from Season’s online store. If my local doesn’t have something I always just get it from Seasons since they ship stuff really fast.

It's a process to get used to the tongues. I was between that colorway and the leather one but I got the leather instead. Comfy af

You have 4 options:
- cut it
- fold it

- hide it in your pants
In my case is a mix between 3 and 4
does cutting the tongue help w it slipping to each side? The long tongue is a no go for me.

Damn, that's nice Monk. You deserve it!

I bought way too much shit these last two months. To recap - Bones Swiss 6, Bones 1/8 riser pads, Spitfire 99d 52 mm conical full fawmula faws, Ace 33s raw, Girl x Kodak board, Chocolate Yonnie windowsill board, Scumco logo board, Pops' last Chocolate board, a Jenny liquid lunch deck, and then four pairs of shoes - DC Butter Goods x Kalis, Converse Fastbreaks, Lakai Newports (rose blossoms colourway), and Supra Elevates. Planning on setting up the Scumco with my current trucks and wheels, and then the Yonnie as a totally new setup with the Aces and Swiss 6.

I'm still not done, either. I guess it's to make up for stretching dollars the last few months and then getting a new job, plus I can't spend too much on myself from 2020 onwards with my new budget. May as well take advantage of the sales around this time.

Big ventures and some of those new white shell toes. Probably my all time favorite shoe, but those Vulcan adv things were terrible. Og shell toes are like $40 at the outlet these days, but the new skate ones looked too good to pass up.

Also got a spitfire topcap for my bike. Mash has them.

In my car, he saw the Spitfire Formula Four Tablets I bought myself. Asked if he can have them, so we threw them on his board right away. Good skate Christmas for him.

Ya. Probably a great deal for Indy's in the UK

I thought the black was anodized? Will be tougher to removed than paint. We're ppl using oven cleaner for this?
In the 90's and early-2000's they sold automotive wheel cleaner that would easier removed anodizing. Bottle would say something like not safe for polished/bare aluminum


For removing paint without solvents I'd suggest brake fluid if you have some sitting around

Yes for regular brake fluid. That's DOT 3 and DOT 4. The cheap stuff..
If you're gonna use it I'm your car I'd suggest something like Castrol GTLMA, low moisture adsorption..
DOT 5 is synthetic silicon based and doesn't harm paint. Probably costs more too.
Weird euro/brit stuff might use mineral oil? Idr..

Don't need much brake fluid. A damp paper towel stuck on the paint would do it. Or brush/dap a lil on, it clings pretty well. Mixes with water so just rinse away. Best part is no fumes.
Might take some time tho. Maybe 1hr? Idk. Never timed it.

Wanna be mean and total a car? Pour brake fluid on it and walk away. The paint will never dry in those spots but it might not attack the primer coat. It'll still rust thru the primer tho. Pour down the cowl vent by the wipers for incognito action.. um, merry Xmas?

Damn, you're a good uncle. Haven't had the chance to shower my nephew with skate stuff, only had 1 session with him since I got him his complete. He's too little to turn and carve on the trucks, hopefully he grows into the board and more in love with skateboarding.

Also, burrito love!

Black with red bushings would be the only colored trucks I'd prefer riding. But that is only because they remind me of some black and red Fury trucks I had as a grom.

sweet...I got some a few months ago too because they were heavily discounted...I find it interesting that they would discount these trucks given there should be enough demand for them at normal prices.

Scooped this up for around $40 bucks which I will take apart and sell for individual parts while keeping the Baker board to try. The tail looks tiny for this 8" board, something I'm not a fan of so I might gift it to a friend. The board is brand new, looks like it didn't even make it 1 session.

It's got some old Spitfire Mike Anderson SFW 99a conicals which feel great for riding. I'm riding 83b 52mm wheels are they really have a hard time on rough asphalt.

Need some help identifying the trucks, so if any of you truck nerds can help that would be awesome.

I noticed my new local had a sale on for boxing day/week so I impulsively bought some new skate shit.

I intended to get a shop deck and swiss since this was the first time I saw swiss on sale in canada.

Ended up getting an 8.25 shop deck for 43.99 CAD, apparently pressed by Control. Curious to try it out.

Instead of getting the swiss, I got those new aurora red spitfire f4 tablets in 54 mm 101a. I've rode f4 classics twice but those were 99s, so this is going to be interesting. I hear a lot of complaints about how slidey the 101 are, the 99's were lovely and I enjoyed the smoothness and grip.

Overall I'm pretty pumped though, and will have until spring to think about what trucks and bearings I want to buy. thinking swiss 6 and indys/thunders although venture and the tensor atgs seem interesting.

Great score, you have a solid partner haha

So sick. I just bought a Pat Burke 8.5 and it’s my favorite deck I have ever skated. I have it on Indy 144s and 53mm lock ins. I skated 8.25 for years and was afraid to move up but am glad I did. What a great gift you got.

Spitfire Radial Slims in 54mm 99a thanks to the recommendation from the guys on here. First time riding a new set of Spitfires in a new size (usually 52mm) and durometer (usually 101a or 103a).

Has anyone ever had Black Magic grip with brown backing? I ordered what was supposed to be a 3 pack of BM online and when it got here it didn't have the usual white backing with their logo on it, it was just 3 sheets of grip with brown backing that had no distinguishing marks whatsoever. Its fairly thin which matches up with what I remember and the color looks pretty close to the least worn parts of the one deck that I know I put BM on, but it feels a bit grittier.

Is it possible that Shorty's did a run with zero branding and totally different backing paper or did I just get the old bait n switch? I tried asking through the Shorty's "contact us" form but no answer, and the email address I found is no longer active.

The last batch of black magic that I saw had plain brown paper backing. I have no idea why but I knew when people saw it it would be questioned.

found a guy selling the first pair for cheap, skated them once and they fit too small on him. bought em and got a message saying he had another new pair brand new and would chuck em in for an extra tenner. £30 for two pairs aint too bad.

Well that makes me feel better. When I compared it to the BM I had on an older deck it seemed close but not as smooth, but that might just be from wear and tear. I wonder why they changed it.... it also seems to be out of stock in a lot of places so maybe they changed suppliers?

I've been told they're just NMB bearings with a sticker on them. Never had a set to see for myself, but you can find 608-2rs bearings from NMB from a ton of suppliers on the web. I can say this though - his little rant that gets reposted in every bearing thread is at least partially bullshit. I went through the trouble of ordering German made bearings from 2 manufacturers (GMN and FAG) and neither of them were very good. Even after clearing the factory grease and lubing them up with speed lube they weren't any faster than your average chinese bearing, and they're slower than good ones.

Just got my xmas present to myself order from SPoT. Really glad I was able to get my hands on one of the Havran pro models. I think Fletch said he only had like 30 made and they sold out on the DOA site super fast, so I was stoked to see one pop up at SPoT and in 8.25. Really like the graphic, everything he does is so simple but so rad. Shoes are Samba ADVs which are pretty underwhelming at first glance to be honest, maybe they'll skate better but they kind of look and feel like they're just regular sambas with a mesh tongue. Also grabbed another set of Venture 5.6 V-Hollows since they're the new "cool" truck right? 

Natas shirt wasn't from SPoT but I just got it and it's cool as shit so I threw it on the pile.

In case ppl don't know RS stands for removable shield. I think ZZ is metal shields.

I got nostalgic and curious about GMN bearings too. Thinking the same as you, any good/cheap stuff out there? You sourced from the 2nd company? How cheap?
https://www.gmnbt.com/ USA GMN company
https://www.gmn.de/en/ball-bearings/ German GMN

https://www.schaeffler.com/remotemedien/media/_shared_media/08_media_library/01_publications/schaeffler_2/reprint/downloads_16/ssd_15_en_en.pdf
https://www.skatepro.com/en-us/27-5135.htm Kinda pricey
FAG used to make a crazy 608 bearing that didn't need oil/grease, dry flim lube on the races, 5 ceramic balls.

SKF is another bearing company, they're partnered with Ferrari. They had a skate team for a minute, I think Reynolds was on it.
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: Sativa Lung on January 02, 2020, 06:54:07 PM
The GMN I got were a set of vintage 90s zz ones with the metal shields and then a newer set of 2rs ones. They seemed to be identical other than the shields. The old GMN I got from a vintage skate gear seller.

The FAG and newer GMN I sourced from a guy on ebay in the czech republic. They're really hard to find at a reasonable price in the US, most places sell them as singles or in bulk so a set of 8 was as much as just buying swiss 6 at that point. Took like a month and a half to get them as he had to order them from the factory first then ship them to me.

The biggest issue I see with them is that they're not designed for skating, so they're lubed with thick grease that's a pain in the ass to get out (the best way I found was to heat them up so it melts a bit and then use 91% iso alcohol to flush out) and they have brass cages. I couldn't find them with nylon/delrin retainers like you see in purpose built skate bearings, although I'm sure they exist... the GMN catalog is like 1000 pages long. Even still, I have some older Pig bearings with metal cages that are faster than any of the German ones I got so I think it's just down to their intended purpose... they're made to stand up to ridiculous forces and speeds, but they're not necessarily made to spin freely and accelerate quickly like a good skate bearing is.

I had SKF on my list and I think I did source them at one point but I'll have to check my bookmarks. Honestly though, for all the trouble and time I went through I don't think it's worth it... a set of swiss 6 or ceramics from any good manufacturer will probably still be better suited for our purposes or the performance gain would be negligible. Hell, the fastest bearings I've had so far have been a set of Flip HKD 7s that cost about $10 or a set of Modus 7's that were about $20. I'd feel much more confident in buying a set of high end modus titanium or ceramics than I would trying to import a bearing that was never really designed to be used for skating.

Hockey board I got has this odd indentation/puncture between the truck holes (the warning sticker covered it up). Do you think it might affect the integrity of the board? Or should I just say "eff it" and set it up?

Yeah this puncture is something done on purpose by the wood shop and they do it on each other boards it will not affect it in any way.

It's an alignment mark for the truck holes I believe. I have a vague recollection of one of the woodshop owners or employees on here saying something to that effect a while back. I've seen some boards with 3 of them in a row as well.

My partner got me this for xmas. Beautiful board - yellow ply on top blue ply on the bottom.
Have wanted to try slave since it's inception but haven't come across one (in canada).

Great score, you have a solid partner haha

It’s great you found a guy that treats you right.
You’re both very lucky dudes.

How did your partner know to get you a Slave board?

Made a Pinterest board of nothing but $lave boards and emailed that to his partner everyday since Labor Day. Sometimes subtle hints work.

I'm constantly talking skateboarding to her - I went on and on about how good radio silence was.

Hit up the internet the next day apparently.

  • 02 x Real Kyle Walker Matchbook (8.18 x 31.85 x 14.38)
  • Mystery Pete Eldridge board - got it off JT's GDC, Pete Eldridge has been one of my favorite skaters since Bootleg 3000, just wish JT didn't sign the top of the board
  • Venture 5.2 Hi, Hollow Lights - got 2 pairs of Thunders, soon I will have 2 pairs of Ventures to add to the collection, thanks Baustin for selling them to me!
  • Independent 129 Hollow - Leo Romero's pro model, came with the Chutingstar build a complete, will sell these
  • Bones STF 55m V5 - Regret buying these, should have gone with a V1, thinking if I should sell them
  • Assorted bolts and riser pads

Really happy with the haul, got to thank the Gear Sale Thread and Buttfart Rapedick who pointed me towards the Chutingstar sale. 20% off a complete with an additional 50% off the total order with free shipping.

That is pretty corny to assume that just because you bought it from him you want his signature.

I asked if he would be meeting Eldridge anytime soon, he said mostly likely not and offered to sign it for me anyway. Ah well, I still like to believe that the Slap Message Boards helped the push to get Eldridge on Mystery way back in 2007-2009 (I think) when iSuck was on here and we badgered him about it.

Bought a Lurkville 8.25 during during their Cyber Monday sale. Got Andrew Allen's Spitfire's, 53, the bone colored ones, not black, and new bushings for my trucks, new grip (Mob M80). Almost a new Christmas complete. My old Bones Reds are still good, just cleaned and added speed formula, hardware is good, trucks are good. Fortunately one of my friends who is also a Slap Pal has been pushing me to skate more so we've already had a few sessions. These are my first spitfire's in a long while after doing Ricta's for a while. Very happy with them. Board is solid, good pop and shape. Stoked.

Dude, I wanted to grab this black label deck I used to have that Hensley did the graphics and I think it was 100 bucks. I probably should have pulled the trigger

I've been on the look out for a good price on the Foundation Suicide Girls series, the Erin (Corey Duffel) model was my first wall hanger, think my mom definitely didn't like that.

That and Heath Kirchart boards but they are selling for insane prices.

Basically I started skating during prime pendelton era alien so a lot of the boards I remember are just going to go for more than I could justify paying. My second board I remember having was from the Noir series but those are going for hundreds.

Bought some 8.0 venture titaniums after hearing from many people that smaller trucks give you better leverage for flip tricks. Have skated 8.5 with 8.5 trucks for a few years and recently sized down to 8.25 on 8.5 venture titaniums, never felt any issues but got a few flip tricks I'm trying to figure out so I need all the help I can get. Kinda worried that it'll make grinds and riding around feel weird, hopefully wasn't a waste of money but it might be lol.

Bought my third twin tailed slick Krooked board and I'm still stoked to skate the same graphic/shape. The 'slick' part is real and is a big confidence booster when you can charge into a sliding trick without having to worry about sticking. I recommend giving them a try if you have not yet.

Not to rain on your parade but do you think they are really old stock? I assumed they are new decks with old graphics. Like, he still has the graphics, hits new boards and sells them for market price.

I'm pretty sure the Mystery one I got was an old stock, not sure about the newer ones. If he was just screening old graphics on new boards that would be incredibly shitty of him to do.

Grabbed the 2 DOA's. The Quasi is only there as a reference, sent the photo to a buddy that rides the similar shape.

I also doubled down and ordered 2 more while they were on sale.

I usually buy conicals, but my shop had ran out when I needed some so I figured the classics would do, but I was wrong. I felt like I had no control of my flip tricks, the wide shape in the conicals helps me out a lot too. That DOA^ deck with the ACG inspired logo really nice btw

Deck rails. At first I had 2 on and kept eating shit over and over, it was so slick. I had no idea how well they worked all these years but they were to slick for me. At the advice of a couple of slap pals I tried the toe side rail thing and I can confirm it is not a gimmick. I have never done a boardslide on a curb in my life and I was sliding them for days but taking off the one on the heel side. It slides but gives you enough friction to have control. It was one of those curb barriers without the sidewalk, just dirt. But my wheels were just smashing through the dirt it was sick.

Grabbed the 2 DOA's. The Quasi is only there as a reference, sent the photo to a buddy that rides the similar shape.

I also doubled down and ordered 2 more while they were on sale.

All white Crockett 2s at the vans outlet for $40 bucks. Feel pretty good and secure, but the laces are a tad short.

Wow, that Ruby board is rare as they come. Definitely a collector's piece. Congrats!

Thanks to the homie Allen., I received a board I've been looking for for years - Pappalardo's last pro model (99% sure).

He told me on Insta that he gave Chocolate this graphic himself to use, I thought that was cool. I was always a Pops fan - hopefully he's doing well.

Finally bought 5.8 ventures. They surprisingly turn better than the last set I had and they’re the hollow kingpin and the last set at the shop of the size. Almost purchased the 6.1s but bailed.

DOA SKYPAGER BLACK 3M SQUARE DECK

https://doany.bigcartel.com/product/skypager-black-3m-square-deck

Just arrived. Gripped (when you get a hot pink top veneer, your only choice is to grip it '80s style - thankfully Primitive grip tears great).

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ii89mFIgJfEPYLbEP_cYXx4tKAT3N7YzC3MlHnymDKhdKJr1XtB6eXQzGnP_lYJnorACEQbtnvz4tjK13oN9M81UTn2stpokQ5u4TgPRGaZzW97BRd-InCnH3xtepVEpHIypNdW5k5A)

Comes in just under "32, like a 31.8753275987464425827455268" so perfect. Shape-wise it's not as 'wide' at the ends/tips like my previous creature wide...uh tip, but for sure more like the Quasi 8.25" proto; full and square but not oddly wide.

But I'm not seeing any 14" wb except for 8" decks, most are 14.25"
7.75" has 13.75" wb

Not really my style but I really really like those Kalis. Maybe it's cuz you could wear them like slip-ons or that thick midsole.
I don't think I've seen that colorway before, gonna have to hit up an outlet.
I ordered some but they seemed 1/2 size small. Kinda similar feel to NB 868, lil bit thicker sole but softer.
Interesting note.. 6pm will return cumstained shoes for free. Idk if this is a weird loophole or some fetish thing but watch out if you order 10.5 grey Kalis from them.

Good to hear, I've been looking for a cupsole that isn't too thick. The only color I have available in my country is an orange / tan suede one.

Are you rocking the suede or leather ones?

DC Kalis
Fourstar hat
These are my skate related purchases over the last few months, these will be on ice since Im pretty good with gear but it's stuff that has popped up and couldn't pass up. The shoes were $50 at a Quiksilver outlet, which is pretty good considering they have a $100 price usually.

Is that the same quality wood as all of their boards? I love the graphic but was scared it was price point because it was cheaper

Been looking for these ventures 6,1 since they came out but it was really hard to find them on Europe.

NICE. Hey I can't find em at my local the past few months either, super popular at the moment. Set them up yet?

Got them today, I will try them next week and put my impressions on the truck thread

Not really my style but I really really like those Kalis. Maybe it's cuz you could wear them like slip-ons or that thick midsole.
I don't think I've seen that colorway before, gonna have to hit up an outlet.
I ordered some but they seemed 1/2 size small. Kinda similar feel to NB 868, lil bit thicker sole but softer.
Interesting note.. 6pm will return cumstained shoes for free. Idk if this is a weird loophole or some fetish thing but watch out if you order 10.5 grey Kalis from them.
[close]

those Kalis are the truth! really good techy cupsole that isn't too thick! i usually need to swap the insoles with the past ones like the tiagos, millers but not with these. on my third pair.
[close]

Good to hear, I've been looking for a cupsole that isn't too thick. The only color I have available in my country is an orange / tan suede one.

Are you rocking the suede or leather ones?
I haven't skated them yet but they feel like a dream on my feet. DC makes quality cupsoles for sure, I had the Legacy slims and they were so good.

I haven't set it up yet, but it does have a laser engraving on top (kinda hard to see since it's right under the stickers and shit the board has and I haven't taken the shrink wrap off.) hopefully it is the same quality, the board feels hella sturdy and has a beautiful shape.

Got this complete for around $80 basically new. Real Twin Tail, Thunder 148, Ricta Wheels, Bronson G3 and whatever everything else. Figured I would sell the trucks, wheels and bearings so I'm riding a brand new setup for a discount.

Bought the board for a friend's birthday, couldn't resist picking the same for me.
glad the shop more than 1 on 8.5 (almost went for a 3rd with the GX1000 Pablo)

Also the Passport video. Switching from Thrasher to Transworld to see each parts sucks.

I had a G016 a while back. The tail is pretty small and took some getting used to. The nose was a little too pointy for my liking as well. But the G030 8.38? That might be the perfect shape, imo.

Got them for $40 basically new, a lot stiffer and harder than I was expecting. Didn't think the flat tongue would affect the comfort but I totally get it would be an issue. They look great but feel a too clunky to skate in. I'll stick with the more skate specific shoes for wheelie planking.

Volcom chinos have honestly been the best pants I've ever skated, can't speak for any of their upper body stuff.

For real. And they're cheap at Nordstrom Rack. I have 6-7 black pairs as my daily wear.
I only skate the frickin modern chinos.

I think Danny D. rides Independent 215 trucks on a 9.5 $lave warpigs shape and I also believe that is the same size and shape as his pro model deck. Therefore, I feel it is necessary to purchase said trucks to complete the "Danny Dicola Ditch Demon" as I have coined it. I have never in my 20+ years of skateboarding thought about purchasing such large trucks, but now that I am in the market it seems they are no longer available anywhere!

I just got some of the low profile Footprint insoles, and despite them being the appropriate size they seem to have a tough time sitting flat in my shoe. I dunno if it's just a coincidence but after the first session my back really hurts which has not been the case for recent sessions otherwise.

i don't think many people are doing 10" trucks on a 9.5" board but i guess the really wide wheels will make it work. good luck

What’s the wheelbase in the slave 9.5 war pig/DD pro model? Can’t find em anywhere online in stock w info. 
14.5 for both? Just searched and that’s what I found in the 9” + thread.

Hyped that the Independent 215 trucks will be available again soon... Thanks for the info! At the start of the "Evolution Of My Ride" video, Danny explains that the Independent 215 trucks are perfect for the 9.5, but that he needs to cut them down for another board that he rides. I definitely used said video as a reference when planning the assembly of the "Danny Dicola Ditch Demon". I just pulled out the deck and it does in fact have a 14.5" wheelbase for anyone who was wondering...

i don't know why he's saying that? in the clip he has the 9.5" board set up with 169's and 54ishmm wheels.

the 215's he cuts down go on what looks like an 8.5" Slave Rat Racer with a War Pig heat transfer.


edit. looks like there was a smaller 8.5" War Piglet way back when.

That 9.5” with 169 is is probably perfect with the rear taper.

Wonder if it’s just the way the video is cut / edited. Or could’ve just done it for the clip

Yeah, the trucks on the bigger warpig don't really look like 215s in that shot with both of the set-ups, so I am a bit confused myself. However, I don't know if you saw the "Drain Scouting With Danny Dicola" feature that Monster Children recently put out, but he is definitely skating 215s on his ditch board...

Tried a pair on today but they only came in 1/2 a size too small for me and the toe box was really tight.

(https://i.imgur.com/ex2fUJul.jpg)

Darkstar 8.0: Smaller than I would like but at $25 I thought why not, the graphics are shit and I'm not a Harley fan but dammit my first board was a Darkstar and I'm getting it! Should be fine for a smaller technical ride with Low trucks.
eS Square 3: I'm a goddamn sucker for the Accel but they are too puffy for this day and age. The Accel Slim is slightly better but I'm not a fan of cupsoles, board feel > feet protection. They feel like a slimmer Accel Slim with a Vulc some with a wide enough toebox to fit my Sasquatch feet.

I have some Reynolds G6 and they won’t fucking die. They are to the point where I’m looking at new shoes just because I want something new but can’t justify it because these shoes are nowhere’s near done and it’s been probably 4-5 months of skating them.

To be honest those accel slims have the thinnest ”cup”soles I’ve ever tried, my regular vans authentics have more padding in their soles lol.

It was a toss up between the Square 3 and Accel Slim, the toe box was what swung made me choose the Square 3. Still looking to get a pair of Accel Slims just for walking about, really nostalgic about that shoe.

Og classic 52s which I am loving the feel and the shape them.

Primitive p 8.38 deck in yellow. Didn't realize primitive does different wood for pp decks. Might just be a wall hanger and I'm not even mad.

Ordered some 52 f4 conical full 99a that I'm stoked to try. It'll be my first f4 set. I've always rode bones for some reason but those og classics got me on a spitfire vibe.

The plain script and the plain dirty p. Also kinda obvious but usually the cheaper decks, 40-45 $.

All graphic boards are sold at $60, even price point ones from dwindle or girl or DLX. Sticking to pro boards would be the safest bet

I usually wear a 10.5 in most shoes, before these I had Half Cabs in 10.5 and they fit similar to that. Really comfy so far, right in that happy medium where it's snug so I feel secure skating but not too tight where I my toes feel compressed. Also it has elastic tongue straps, usually shoes with those fit my alot better

Tried a pair on today but they only came in 1/2 a size too small for me and the toe box was really tight.

(https://i.imgur.com/ex2fUJul.jpg)

Darkstar 8.0: Smaller than I would like but at $25 I thought why not, the graphics are shit and I'm not a Harley fan but dammit my first board was a Darkstar and I'm getting it! Should be fine for a smaller technical ride with Low trucks.
eS Square 3: I'm a goddamn sucker for the Accel but they are too puffy for this day and age. The Accel Slim is slightly better but I'm not a fan of cupsoles, board feel > feet protection. They feel like a slimmer Accel Slim with a Vulc some with a wide enough toebox to fit my Sasquatch feet.

Had a Darkstar as my first board getting back into skating because I was always a fan of Chet Thomas(those hard flips and frontside flips) and I've never had any issues with them other than the graphics. I'll try out other brands, but I'll always swing back around and skate them from time to time.  Their 8s are my favorite

I picked up one of those Mike Anderson shapes for Krooked recently. From what I can tell it's basically more squared with a bigger nose and tail. I typically like it when other companies do boards like that and I like Krooked, so I'm hoping this is a match made in heaven.

Have one of these too. The 8.38x32x14.25 WB. Going to set it up this week. Looks like it'll be great to skate.

Ordered the new Push Mag., Interstate Mag. issue 2, a Theories T, Legends Never Die vol. 2 and a water bottle.

Ordered pair of Vans pants, would have bought at my local but they didn’t have my size.

Rowans
8.125" Silvas
8" Tensor Mags
Sheet of 'blank' grizzly feels straight up like black magic (good thing)

On the Rowans:

I bit because they reminded me of the TNT SGs (I was not mistaken). Fit is true to size, not the bigger fit of the more recent shit (Berle/Crockett/TNTs); they feel the same fit-wise as my AVEs. Insole is much like the UltraCush, fat heel, slime footbed, haven't skated them but have zero expectations for less fatigue  ::)

Ankle area has fat and has mucho padding, fat oldschool Rowley Classics vibe (but with more padding) and the recent Joslins but with a thin (as in no padding) tongue (no tongue stay as it's a bootie liner). Pretty hyped on them out of the box and dig the black sans vans wave/stripe + Skate Hi stiching on the toe box gives off good memory vibes of skating the HIs all day everyday back in the day.

Rowan | TNT SGs (just gave the TNTs a refresh, delicate wash, magic eraser, fresh laces...they cleaned up well; never skated them.

Yes.

55mm

They're a taller, longer baseplated slightly carvey Thunder. Thunders have always been my truck of choice due to being lower/WB extending camp but wheelbite was something I suffered through with them. I still get it with the ATGs but not as much and they feel better for me in bowls; Like ACE I only have to move to get them to 'do' Thunder don't oblige in some instances and I get pitched.

Found the kicks online on sale. I'm a huge yellow fan and this is my era of shoe I grew up in. The deck was a purchase from my local in support of local skateshop day yesterday. Not a huge fan of the first name graphic but It'll make it easy to skate with no regerts.

I got some Liberty Cups in the mail yesterday, hard to say no to $28. Some of the colorways make this shoe look horrendous but I got white/gum leather and I think they look nice. There is a light grey suede that I think looks nice too. I also have questionable taste in shoes.  It feel like they're going to to need a beating before they're ready to skate but I just started on some NB 913 so I have time.

Been eying these Graw jump ramps for a couple years now, found a little 7.9" one on Amazon for $75, originally $150 but I guess it was marked down cuz of damaged packaging, but the ramp itself is fine so I got a steal.

Grabbed these for $25 from the DC sale a week or two ago and they got here last night. Feel pretty good, I was looking for a lightweight vulc with a little more padding than my vans AV rapidweld lites and these seem to fit the bill. Insole is really comfy but thin, although it seems like there's a lot of padding built into the footbed. Tread looks nice and the sole is pretty flexible right out of the box so I doubt there's going to be much of a break-in period.  I don't think I've ever skated a DC vulc, so I'm looking forward to trying them out today.

Only regret is that I read somewhere that DCs run big so I ordered 11.5 instead of 12. They are nice and wide but still a little tight, but hopefully they'll stretch out a little after a few sessions.

Al's got another set of $11 creative urethane wheels, these ones are 54mm 99a conicals and seem to be seconds from orbs apparition splits. Really good wheels, not quite F4 quality but not far behind. Cant see anything wrong with them so I'm guessing they just didn't like how the swirl turned out or something.

Maxallure $25 deck came a few days ago. I like colors and the shape- chubby nose and stays wide.
8.75” x 32.5” tape down x 14.5” wb. Pretty pumped to try out these dimensions as I ordered knowing only the width. China wood? Dunno, just a size sticker on top back bolts and round indent at front.

I got some riptide pivot cups and I’m gonna put them in my Ventures.

I have enough decks/trucks on hand to easily get me through 2020 and I’m really trying to avoid any new purchase until this shit is used up. So instead of buying some Destructos I will just never get around to using I bought $18 pivot cups. I’m patting myself on the back for compromising.

Not sure..I will tell you in a few days,I have only skated Van's and Straye (yeah..yeah I know) slip ons. I cover that area with shoe goo after a little while if I'm on a heelflip kick,which I usually am not.

My full haul came in. I grabbed 5 decks during the president day sale and kept the numbers one to ride. The rest of these are going up the on wall and will be skated later. All 8.3-8.75

If curious, heres a pic of a few of these shapes.

(https://i.ibb.co/XXqv2x9/IMG-4687.jpg)

To be honest. I wanted to skate the Polar but preferred the Welcome which had the same shape just a little wider but the Koston numbers (not in pic) had the best shape to me.

Thanks man, I think I just ollie weird cause I burn through that area of my shoes, even when I'm not on a heelflip tip. I had some Lakai owen slip ons that I tried to keep together with shoe go but since the elastic part wasn't triple stitched or stitched far enough under the tongue it eventually totally separated from the shoe so I'd have to sow it back together otherwise it falls off my foot when I kickflip. Anyways yeah let us know how it goes

Wanted to try this Chilean brand for a while.
Yes, there is no need to point how Quasi-esque this thing is but is kinda challenging to find 8.5 in here + the shape seems perfect for me: nice big round 7" nose, 14.25 WB and a tail that's is almost identical to the nose @ 6.5 + a 32.2 length.
There is no need to say because is local brand the pricing is way more friendly than foreign options.
Just by the looks it seems extremely similar to Real.
Also an interesting thing about this one is that I believe this brand presses their own stuff in here.

i literally tried 1 flatground kickflip, bailed, and hurt my heel. its a shame shame bc they look sick and look like theyd last a long ass time as well

theres no way they paid to get a legit kosher stamp, and what is the criteria for a kosher board anyway? they would probably have to make a separate production line that doesnt operate on shabbat, pay a parasitic rabbi to sit there all day "supervising" (while getting paid a shit ton), have jewish workers and use supervised glues and paint and who knows what else.
the rabbinate is a corrupt money grabbing organization that operates like the mob so i guess it gives you mobbed kickflips?
as an israeli i would never think about putting something like that on my wall haha

Cuz I'm pretty sure kosher just applies to food..
Now if you guys were talking about halal then you might be about to talk about halal products..

i guess by definition kosher only refers to food, but the kosher stamp is a money making business and can be used by businesses to promote itself with the religious crowd. now they give approval to alot of stuff like kosher internet and kosher light bulbs. im sure that if you paid enough even pork will be kosher with how corrupt they are.

Not really skated related what so ever, but I bought this Allen Iverson 1996-97 Mitchell and Ness Sixer's jersey. I typically refrain from buying myself expensive things but I always wanted an Iverson jersey and this jersey was marked down from 260 to 130 at the place I found it. I probably wouldn't of gone through with buying it if my wife didn't really push for me to get it.

https://www.mitchellandness.com/allen-iverson-1996-97-authentic-jersey-philadelphia-76ers-3B2

I can't really tell if I regret it yet, because it's expensive and it's February so I won't wear it any time soon. It's still sick though.

It may not be smart, but it sure has helped me get gear at times. Plus there is a 10% off coupon online so shipping prices were negated.

I have 5.2 venture ti they are 308g, i have seen the 5.8 venture ti listed at like 315-320g. I also have the 5.6 prods ti but I set them up already before weighing lol! So I’m sure they are like 310-315g! they feel great by the way just cruised on em and popped some fat ollies down the street. I can’t wait to bash them against some rails when my 5.2 are donezo but it’ll be a goooood while before that. Most likely summer! Titaniums are the shit bois, I rode my indy tits for like 18 months or something stupid long like that - coping dancing and learning flat bars long ago. But I’m a venture boi now, you won’t be disappointed is what I’m mumbling about  8)

Got some dickies duck carpenter jeans for work at Walmart. Skated them after work had a pretty good fall and they didn’t tear. Pretty stoked. Will get another pair for sure. Washing now to see if they shrink. I usually just wear normal dickies 874 to work and outside of work. So I’m not sure how the jean material is with washing drying shrinking etc

Got the Dickson pros yesterday. Put some white laces in them and they look fucking good! Haven’t got to skate them yet but damn they was comfortable doing errands with my girlfriend. Quality seems great. The sole feels different to the touch. Idk how to explain it. Like denser? In a good way. It feels durable. Insole feels good. They feel a little more padded/cushioned than the Americanas.

Washing now to see if they shrink. I usually just wear normal dickies 874 to work and outside of work. So I’m not sure how the jean material is with washing drying shrinking etc

Got the Dickson pros yesterday. Put some white laces in them and they look fucking good! Haven’t got to skate them yet but damn they was comfortable doing errands with my girlfriend. Quality seems great. The sole feels different to the touch. Idk how to explain it. Like denser? In a good way. It feels durable. Insole feels good. They feel a little more padded/cushioned than the Americanas.
post a pic of the dicksons. That sounds good. Can’t tell that about the padding from online pics.

I’ll take some pics when I get home. I may not be explains it well. the side walls feel like there’s a little padding instead of just suede. But I’ll take some pics tonight.
They may be on imgur. I don’t know how to post actual photos. Just the imgur links.

For anyone interested in the Dickson pro. Not the best photos so if you guys want another view ,a specific part of the shoe or anything just let me know. I tried to show the padding on the side. It’s not a lot but it feels more than just of suede on the side of the foot like some other shoes. Just a slight bit of padding on the side. Kind of like on the side to the state Albany’s I have. Just a little something something on the side. The Achilles ankle pad feels great. The shoes feels secure on my feet.  Can’t wait to skate them.

nice, looks good, like a little more structure because that suede side panel is backed with a liner material and padding between. They fit similarly to the americana? but those are cup but you said pretty thin? Want to try an emerica cupsole

Got this 2nd hand setup for $40 - Sweet Skateboards Deck (Swedish fasion brand that also does boards?), Tensor Maglight 5.25 Low, unknown wheels (52mm, 99a, slim), Shake Junt bearings.

Board dimensions look pretty tight at 8 x 31.9 x 14.25. Bought it mainly for the snazzy trucks.

My brain is a bit fried, but as far as I know sweet used to make boards first, then there was some investor and wanted to turn sweet into some fashion lifestyle stuff. I remember bright colored sweet pants and I think that was the point the guys left to start there own. They weren't sweet anymore, they were pissed, or should I say Sour. ^^

Destructo D1 Mid 5.75's super happy with them, they turn great and are a little taller. Although I did swap the stock bushings out for some old Krux bushings I had, just because I didn't want to break in a new set, the stock bushings felt pretty good though, just a little soft.

-and-

DC T-Funk Lo, I snagged these on sale at Zumiez for 22 bucks.  Surprisingly they still had 10.5's in stock, had to jump on it. Was not really looking for these shoes but I didn't mind the look, and they are actually super solid shoes. I don't usually go with low profile vulc sole shoes anymore, but these shoes actually have great impact support so far, even though its only been a week.  The upper has held up great as expected with a toe cap shoe.

I will report back after I try them out. It might be a while before I skate them, because I just started a pair of Nikes. I imagine the DC's must take a beating.

 Couldn't sleep and was going through emails. Apparently DC has crazy deals if you actually read them. Got these for $38 shipped
[close]

Beautiful, I'm looking to try a pair of those. They look durable as hell, vulc shoes are killing my feet and wallet.
[close]
I will report back after I try them out. It might be a while before I skate them, because I just started a pair of Nikes. I imagine the DC's must take a beating.
[close]
ive had four pairs of the kalis, these leather ones specifically are so good.
[close]
I just bought them on gut feeling, not knowing much about them. You guys are making me happy I did. I have been RE-learning a few fliptricks and my shoes are dying way to fast lately. Nike is taking to much of my money.
[close]

i skated the red/grey ones and then the black ones both which are suede. i got the white/camo ones which are leather and that's good to hear they work well. i hope DC keeps these in rotation
[close]
Man I'm really surprised that so many people skate these styles of shoes. It seems like everyone wears vulcs.
[close]
This dam thread with the comments got me obsessed about Kalis S.
Found them on sale but I already got 2 pairs of shoes and a set of F4 and is not even the first week of the month...
Haha gotta love it! I cant wait for mine. I skated my new Nike Nyjahs for a few hours Today and my feet have never hurt so bad in 20 years of skating. I hope these DCs are comfortable af.

All this DC Kalis talk got me itching for some.

How are the Kalis Vulc M and Kalis Lite M? The Lite M looks almost like a shoe for walking more than skateboarding

Is my understanding that the Lites were made as chillers but people started skating them because of nostalgia

I wish I did. I used a promo code that got them down to $40-something total but I would have had to pay for shipping ($65 or less doesn't qualify for free shipping) When I went to pay through my paypal, I realized my address was wrong so I back buttoned until I could change the address. At that point it gave me the option of free economy shipping which knocked off more money. I dont know how or why but I will take it!
 * My apologies I just checked they were $43 shipped after Maine got their share *

Amazon! Decent price too - $100 (CND). They retailed for $125 here.

There's actually quite a variety of them on amazon from third party sellers but those are pricey. These were sold directly from amazon.

A flat as fuck 8.25" DOA from the new drop.

I bought one from the last drop and had given up hope on this shape working for me (and I felt like such an ass because he sent me the last one he had, which he had been saving for himself.)  A couple days ago I put some old Thunder 149s on it (which I had also given up hope on, but revived with Riptides and Bones) and it was perfect. It skated exactly how I wanted and was flipping so easily. Fakie flips instantly came back to me.

what type of skating you have planned for the 92a clouds versus the 97a slimeballs?
[close]

Thanks for tidying up the pics.

GBLange - I was at Zone5 a few weeks ago, do you go to KL often?

Not that often, maybe 2 times a year. normally for job training/course. I'm from Malaysia as well but we're on another state on a different island. Borneo island. and we need to take a flight to come over to KL. Our roads over there are damn crusty unlike KL. The clouds 92a are for my AH orange crusher cruiser, currently its on clouds 78a (still awesome though for crusty roads). Been wanting to try the slime balls 97a. The 1st time i rode slime balls was waaay back in 1991.

Did you swing by Southtown skates & Cool Element? They're in the same building as Zone 5.

Grabbed these for $25 from the DC sale a week or two ago and they got here last night. Feel pretty good, I was looking for a lightweight vulc with a little more padding than my vans AV rapidweld lites and these seem to fit the bill. Insole is really comfy but thin, although it seems like there's a lot of padding built into the footbed. Tread looks nice and the sole is pretty flexible right out of the box so I doubt there's going to be much of a break-in period.  I don't think I've ever skated a DC vulc, so I'm looking forward to trying them out today.
[close]

i literally tried 1 flatground kickflip, bailed, and hurt my heel. its a shame shame bc they look sick and look like theyd last a long ass time as well

Weird, I'm loving mine so far. They're exactly what I wanted - lightweight flexible vulc with a little more tongue padding than vans. Toe cap is really good too, I usually don't really like them but this one is small and really thin so it almost feels like a layer of shoe goo more than anything. Its working too because I usually have ollie holes within a few sessions with vans but these are barely worn down. Definitely not a lot of impact protection but that's kind of the tradeoff with any light/flexible vulc. It's fine for flat ground but I'd probably put an insole in if I were going to jump down something. Very comfy for daily wear too.


Shit I've bought lately:

8.25 Prime blank - bought it because it was listed as 31.25" long but it's actually 32". It was only $25 though so I'm not really that upset, and it has tail that's steeper than the nose (which is the inverse of everything I've been riding for most of the last year) and it's always fun to switch it up and try new things.

Some new DOA decks - 8.25 DOA Tech flat as fuck, 8. 25 Ben Havran slaughter flat as fuck, and 8.25 Chambers standard concave. Should be here today, I'm sure they'll be fantastic like everything else DOA does. Also snagged one of those incredibly cool Chambers long sleeves.

Tensor 5.5 mag light ATG  - got em for $40 but they were the green baseplate ones so I sanded the green off with some grip scraps. It always amazes me just how light they are... They're like 30g lighter than anything else on the market, and the ATG geometry is really really good. Never ever thought I'd say this but tensor has one of the best turning trucks available right now.

Indy 144 titaniums - recently traded my 144 hollows and I missed skating forged bp 144  so when these popped up for $63 with free next day shipping on Amazon I figured I might as well get em. They came with the new bushings which I love, not sure why but they feel better than both the old stocks and the replacement oranges despite presumably being made in the same place. The China indys overall just feel better to me than the last couple Ermico ones I've had.

Managed to clear some old stuff to make way for newer skate stuff as a means of sticking to the monthly budget:
1) Element Complete - sold it for parts and kept the Spitfire Classics for a $30 profit
2) Kalis S Manolo - thanks for the recommendation
3) Magenta Ben Gore 8.125" & a 8" Shop Board off Ambush Skateboarding - priced at $40 each before a 15% discount, was looking to try a Magenta in those dimensions

I ordered them from their website for full price. Ordering skate stuff online makes me feel dirty, but I don’t know a single shop around that carries Workshop.

Ordered them from CCS, but I think Tactics and a few other places have different colors on sale. I usually wear Half Cab Pros in 11.5 and I got these in that size as well. They are longer in the toe box and wider at the arch. If anything, I would say 1/2 down if you have narrow feet, but they're generally true to size.

I haven't skated them yet and am not sure if I will because I love how they look and want to keep them as chillers. Wearing them around, yeah, nice support due to them being a cup and a bit wider at the arch. They'd probably skate really well.

Bones 53mm V3 Easy Streets
Bones Soft Bushings
Marvel Trading Cards
Bueno board

Went in to get the wheels and bushings, then I decided to check out the sister shop that was located in the same building. Saw the trading cards on clearance which I thought would be a great present for my brother since we used to collect this same series of trading cards back in the day.
After getting the cards I spotted a stack of old decks sitting under some cleaning supplies and chanced upon:
Hollywood deck
enjoi deck
Foundation Sierra Fellers deck
Bueno board

Got the Bueno one for $20 as a collection piece. Now I have this and the School is for Idiots one which I am stoked on.

Snagged a set of Film 5.5 raws to replace the ones I sent to a pal a while back, along with a set of soft bushings for them. Euro Tings hooked me up with a bunch of Film stickers (some of which are really cool) too.

Also got some Portland wheel Co 54mm conicals, forgot the name of the graphic but it's the one that looks like Marlboro reds.

Restocked on grip (jessup ultra, blank grizzly, black magic, and some cheap stuff that actually feels good), bearings (generic Chinese ones, indy black, spitfire cheap shots), and hardware (bulk 1" Allen - Grainger has boxes of 100 on clearance for 48 cents, the shipping is a couple bucks but it's still ludicrously cheap).

Finally, I recently got a pair of those $18 wino g6 slip ons from the jewmiez sale section. Really like them, they're very soft and flexible straight out of the box, the suede is nice, and the g6 insole is pretty comfortable and doesn't feel as bulky as the ultracush in my vans pro slips. My only complaint (other than  the color) is that the sole and flick area is almost too sticky at first - I had a couple "stick flips" where I just shot the board out 5 feet in front of me - but that's pretty much every vulc slip for me. Overall I'd have to say I think these are probably the best slip on I've ever skated.

P.S. - almost forgot to mention that they run a little big.. I got 11.5 because I always order half a size down with skate shoes and they fit more like an adidas or nike 12. I'll definitely get an 11 next time. Nice wide toe box if you've got Flintstone feet though.

My DC's came in that I ordered from their recent sale.
Haven't had a pair of DCs for decades.
The Rick Howards were probably the last pair I had.

The Kalis feel a little tight on my bunions. But I think they'll stretch out.
The Legacy VAC feels like it's going to be a great shoe.
Still have a couple pairs of Reynolds G6 to get through before I touch these.

I did the graphic for my imaginary skate company "Losers". I don't want to start a real brand, that's too much trouble and there are too many brands. So my plan is just to make shit I like for me for while.
I got these from Point Dist out of Nevada. The print feels better than boards I got from CCS. like I did a photoboard from ccs a while ago and it kind of had a paper texture. This feels like a regular heat transfer. The shapes really nice, super mellow with a squarish(but round) nose and tail. They run big. Like this was sold as 8.25, but they're a bit wider than my standard 8.25 (DGK or Birdhouse). Some one in the woodshop thread said they just print over Chinese blanks. I can't confirm. If you want a full review I probably won't set one of these up until after this whole corona mess is over I can go out and ride.

Speaking of which, I bought a pair of ricta clouds from my local so I can skate, my drive way, my street, and the shitty parking lot at the church around the corner.

I hate hate hateee this quarantine limbo that were all in right now, especially cus im in a one bedroom apartment and cant do flat ground inside like most ppl or ill be a huge asshole to my downstairs neighbors.

BUT I have found the silver lining with this whole thing and that is that most skateshops can finally sell their Nike SB inventory online (and some with free shipping) and some shops still have shoes avail from a year ago! (Terrible time for my bank account)

So far Ive bought the white orange label Nike SB bruins from No Comply

Oski Blazers from KCDC skate shop

And the new olive GT blazers and a Nocturnal deck from Noc and Kinetic (obvs)

Gonna be set for a while skate shoes wise, in the near future im gonna be looking to cop stuff from Carpets season 10 drop. First board that they leaked yesterday look amazing!

Destructo 5.2 Mid Lite - show some love for truck brands outside the big 3

that finish is straight fire.


Solo I just made my second ever internet order in my life.

I got blind selection Shoe Stress

and toa greatness on the mind and on its way from Orchard.

I just ordered the Theories Advisor KnockOut 8.25

I hope its not a green or red top.
I'm just happy its not a deluxe. I'm pretty bent at deluxe rn. Back to TOA. Its funny I could have sworn I seen what's his face in Marblehead like a week ago?
That would be strange

 If I had more cash but I got to bank more tattoo money.

But yo help me understand what the shoe I

I need feed back on this shoe I picked.

I got the Blazer Low GT. Pro? Advanced? Tech? Hope not. Any way

Does it fit to size?
Don't have a pointy toe?

I can picture them on Carlos Carlos Ribeiro's feet. Maybe the Olson kid I've seen wearing them. I skate more like Olson than Carlos I guess.

I like 8.5 dunks with the laced all the way open so they are a little floppy. I've had 6 pairs since 2016.
I blind selection picked af2s on sale from ccs once.
8.5 but they was to tight for cotton socks. Half size bigger would have been the shit.
The AF2 is the most durable shoe I've had in years. I went through 3 pairs of dunks at the same time because I alternate to prevent foot issues if I got the cash...




I got stoned as he'll and this took 2hrs to write

So what's up with blazers? Am I gonna be crying in pain and glueing them back together in the first day or is it a good true to size shoe

I’m skating my third pair of gt blazer lows in a row, but I skated a bunch before that too.  They skate really good at least for me. They’re broken in right out of the box. The toe is kind of my narrow but not enough to hurt your foot because they can give. Flick is really good. I’ve had pairs last decently long and other pairs I flicked through to the sole pretty quick. I’ve had pairs where I got ollie/wallie holes pretty quick and multiple pairs were I didn’t get them. Honestly they’re one of my favorites but just like any shoe not every pair is identical but even the bad ones ruled. I do think they’ve gotten better at avoiding ollie/wallie holes none of the last three have gotten that bad but I may have become more of a diva with my shoes but I usually skate shoes till my toes are all out. In my opinion of shoes out now, I could probably skate them the rest of my life so I keep buying them. Not too ridiculous looking, skate really good, and when I look down on them I’m not bummed. They fit true to size and they’re one of the only shoes I feel really are.

You’re coming from AF2 tho I’d say they’re pretty different. But they’re great vulcs. Def a minimal shoe and durability could help w some shoe goo in proper spots. The toe cap piece seems to be wearing down crazy quick on my tan/olive pair.

Was going to post these in the boards on the wall thread, but they ain't on the wall. These are the boards I've collected in the past six months.

First on the left is a Carpet Habibi board. I just got it recently; these are impossible to find and even ship to Canada, so I bought it from NJ Skateshop (it actually should've been a different colour) and the big homie Buttfart graciously let me ship it to his home then he shipped it to me. I wanted this board for awhile but it was a bit too expensive, and by the time I could afford it, it had basically been sold out everywhere.

Second is a Supreme Delta board in dark green. The Delta collab is one of my favourites that Supreme's done, and I love dark green and the colours on this graphic so it was a wrap. Again not easy to buy, eventually found it on StockX.

I already posted the Chocolate Pappalardo but it's worth posting again. Allen hooked it up. Pappalardo chose that graphic himself and I think it's his last pro board. I looked for this board for years.

I got a pair of NB#212 at Tampa Pro for only $30 and just started skating them. Never skated NB before but I like them. My foot feels cradled like a baby and the grip is A1. My only complaint is the tongue is stiff af and digs into my skin.

Yes my order came!!

First impression of the GT is positive. I'm definitely more of a dunkist. But its true to size. I'm definitely going to shred this shoe fast.
I think i give it 12 hrs of skating before I have a hole. One week for switch foot.

All I need is 30 days out of the sole. Time starts after the rain.

im liking the popcush. Seen to break in and fit better while also being more condensed foam that doesn’t bottom out but offers better cushioning

They're just better.
Shoes fit better, aren't ridiculous tight or loose. Don't feel un-even.
Only gripe would be that they're not exactly like waking on clouds, but Vans never were.

Yes my order came!!

First impression of the GT is positive. I'm definitely more of a dunkist. But its true to size. I'm definitely going to shred this shoe fast.
I think i give it 12 hrs of skating before I have a hole. One week for switch foot.

All I need is 30 days out of the sole. Time starts after the rain.

I want an update when you get a hole. For the ollie / wallie hole I’ve put cardboard in the inside and super glued it but I didn’t have that problem with any of my last three pairs. I skate my last pair for definitely over a month before the toe hole brewed

Edit: I wanted to post a pick of my last pair. They lasted longer than pairs I've had in the past I feel like they're getting better. It seems there quality has gone up since my first pair. They do feel like you'll run through them quick but they do last a longer than you'd expect.

Just got a pair of the Cons Deckstars in Herrington’s colorway for under $50 shipped. Very stoked about finding a pair in my size.

Took advantage of some element discount codes.






Thought the National Geo board was longer. I prefer at the least 32in.
Havent skated element in years. I love that its BBS and I think graphics solid too.

Didnt know the duro of these wheels before I got them. Theyre 98. Considering to trade or sell them.

Your personal messages are probably blowing the fuck up with people trying to buy those bam wheels from you.
[close]

Imagine caring about a wheel graphic ::)

Imagine thinking someone wants to buy element wheels ::)

I’d skate bam wheels with this graphic if they were formula fours. Or put them on a cruiser if they were oj keyframes. Not even people who have element as their one sponsor skate element wheels. If somebody buys these off you I’ll Venmo you money.

Yuck - That swoosh is giving me anxiety. I like to throw super glue under the swoosh once the seams rip to keep it in place.

Here's my pair. I'm always easy on shoes. The flick hole started about a week in. I just fill it with super glue and life's good. Once that wears down just repeat.

I usually super glue but I’m really impressed that you’ve had these for a whole year. I also can’t believe their not even dirty and still cream colored. I spilled beer all over my pair immediately the first time I wore mine because I was wasted dancing to some middle schoolers dressed like wizards playing weezers blue album.

Just ordered these Spanky G6s from Civil Skateshop. I need new skate shoes soon and I figured I should support a legit shop and a brand I grew up on.
hell yeah! I want to try these so badly you just about convinced me. And civil is my local shop and are sick. Great choice on both accounts.

Skating these right now and its quickly becoming one of my favorites. My only complaint is that the laces go pretty quick. Wish this exact sole is used on all of emerica cupsoles.

Still some weeks for my bday but shipping time might get tricky in the future so the sooner the better probably.
I wanted to have Thunders to keep on ice, found some lights for a decent price and I added a Plan B blk ice board for a really good price + I wanted a PS board to spice up things a little bit. Free shipping on both things, always a big plus.

Skating my first set as well. I love that they feel so good on rough ground even though they're 51s, but I didn't realize they'd wheelbite so much easier than classics.

That is interesting that classics are so much less prone to wheelbite. I want the smallest, functional wheel,  even debating looking for the widest sub 52 mm wheel. I don’t prefer wide wheels, contrary I prefer a thin wheel usually, but riding lower trucks....and rather not carry my board to the spot. I’ll probably carefully consider a bunch of options, like a dork, and then stick with my f4 52mm classics

Yeah, its the square profile, as the bite seems to only happen on the outer edge. I want the same. I'm cool with a little wheelbite if it means I can keep rolling over shit, and I know the tablets will look good worn down.

Yes my order came!!

First impression of the GT is positive. I'm definitely more of a dunkist. But its true to size. I'm definitely going to shred this shoe fast.
I think i give it 12 hrs of skating before I have a hole. One week for switch foot.

All I need is 30 days out of the sole. Time starts after the rain.
[close]

I want an update when you get a hole. For the ollie / wallie hole I’ve put cardboard in the inside and super glued it but I didn’t have that problem with any of my last three pairs. I skate my last pair for definitely over a month before the toe hole brewed

Edit: I wanted to post a pick of my last pair. They lasted longer than pairs I've had in the past I feel like they're getting better. It seems there quality has gone up since my first pair. They do feel like you'll run through them quick but they do last a longer than you'd expect.
[close]

Yuck - That swoosh is giving me anxiety. I like to throw super glue under the swoosh once the seams rip to keep it in place.

Here's my pair. I'm always easy on shoes. The flick hole started about a week in. I just fill it with super glue and life's good. Once that wears down just repeat.

(https://scontent.fybz2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/92018707_222562145515555_7237975768796495872_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=b96e70&_nc_ohc=0U8snDrlHiUAX9fFBZJ&_nc_ht=scontent.fybz2-2.fna&oh=d5af73e6df56910d152ca6640b82ef95&oe=5EAD6DE5)

I've chopped the swoosh to patch a hole in the ishod decon black.

But yeah I had a two hr flat sesh new shoes old old board. Kickflips heels heels straight 6 because I'm old. Then
Wallies over the stones etc.

Now I'm running the Orange dunk insole I'm shocked how nice this kick is for a vulc

I could run an 8 maybe in these.

This shoe is a swamp. I wish I could run no laces.

I'm going to score some nice wool blends to lower future stink.

I only slappy crook tbh, but they feel super locked in. I put off trying them because I kept hearing that a square edged wheel makes slappys harder but I don't feel it. If anything the lock makes them easier.

Yeah I was of a mind that classics were easy to get into/out of slappys, and would slide easier, but maybe didn’t lock in as well.

I'm currently on Ace 44, got tired of Indy childish mentality, and got some Worrest V-Lights on ice but just in case I don't like them I got these weird Thunders (I wanted Thunder for a while already). They were for a nice price too and the hanger doesn't bother me that much, probably because the color is not a solid one (anodized?)

Chilean Craigslist called Mercadolibre, is a 8.37 x 32 I think. Can't find info about it, no idea about the wb :(

Picked up some New Balance 379’s with the white/grey/red color way. Didn’t really need new skate shoes yet but trying to support the local shop right now. Probably wear them around a couple weeks before I skate in them.

Stuff is starting to come in from my birthday shopping spree.

54mm Loophole wheels and a Girl tee from Library Skateshop
Loophole tee from a shop on Paradeworld
Venture/Thrasher tee and shop hat from Seasons Skateshop
Two Legacy Slims for dirt cheap from DC

Still gotta swing by the local here and pick something up, they’re not shipping and I’ve just been way too busy with work to make it out while they are open.

Gotta love when a shop takes the time and care to do a shop video let alone one with a photo book.
Fuck with those dudes heavy since I was rolling through once on the way upstate and kicked it at the shop for a bit talking to one of the owners.

Wade Boggs isn't dead. You did freak me out for a second. Wade Boggs is a legend, I was thinking it just happened. I was like holy shit can 2020 get any worse.

Edit: My dad used to always tell me this story that one night Wade Boggs and Andre the giant were both in Philadelphia the same night and they drank the entire city out of beer.

They had a different one that was just a portrait of Wade Boggs that I thought was pretty funny a while ago. I genuinely want one, but I’m not expected to go back to work until mid July at the earliest, but it’s realistically looking like maybe September. I hit axle on my trucks and my wheels are starting to feel soft, so I had to order some to tide me over, but I have have to save most of what I have because who knows how long this will really last

Lately I've been getting 8.38 boards because finding 8.5" in here is s proven challenge at times.
Since I'm skating Ace I thought: "Hey, these would go nicely with an 8.38 but I don't have bearings or hardware to out together a smaller setup". So I ordered some big balls, sj hardware and I thought: "This is the perfect excuse to finally get easy streets". So I added some V4 STF 99 since I didn't wanted to setup the extra set of F4 the to have on ice.
All of this is a great excuse to put some Thunders on my main setup to replace the Aces that went to the smaller setup  8)

So I added some V4 STF 99 since I didn't wanted to setup the extra set of F4 the to have on ice.
All of this is a great excuse to put some Thunders on my main setup to replace the Aces that went to the smaller setup  8)

im trying so hard to have self control and not build a third setup

Lately I've been getting 8.38 boards because finding 8.5" in here is s proven challenge at times.

I’ve never cheated on a girl before, but I have skated Thunders almost exclusively since 2006 and Im feeling weird that I just got a set of ACE 03’s for my main setup. Thunder 147’s are out of stock everywhere. Couldn’t even find Ventures which would’ve been my second choice. I still have some life left in my current trucks, but I’ll try these out after and hope they last until there isn’t a truck shortage

I’m anticipating it. When I was working a lot I bought a lot of decks and shoes expecting to have all summer to skate while on hiatus. I just had to get some trucks, wheels, and bearings to hold me over before I resort to Frankensteining old trucks together

I opened pandora's box of bushings after years of avoiding the headache and bought some Bones Mediums to replace my soft ones. The soft ones turn great but I felt like I was gonna get wheelbite every time I even set up for a kickflip. I just did a lap around my culdesac with the mediums and it felt pretty stable while turning well. Hopefully this does the trick.

Not really skate related but me and my wife bought a huge package of steaks, tuna steaks and chicken from Wenning's wholesale meats.

Start of March to now I’ve bought;

Polar Oskar Rozenberg 8.38 arigato shape
Ace 44(favorite trucks so far)
Brad Cromer 8.38 football shape
Hockey 8.38 Donovan Silver surfer
Bones Stf 99 v5
Thunder 148 Guy Marianos
Quasi acid-ply 8.25 Gil Crockett

I skate 2hrs a day so I’ve already gone through the polar and just setup the cromer the other day. Would definitely buy that same board again.

Those ace’s look sick! Hopefully you have a good time with em. I haven’t tried the lo. I’m not sure why I haven’t. Ace don’t really wheelbite all that much for me, I’m betting you could ride those with 52mm wheels w/o too much trouble. 52mm and 147s are about my limit

Just picked up this Gustav deck from my shop. It was order online and curbside pickup so I didn't really see it before I grabbed it.

Website says it is a S4 shape with a 14.1 wb which is why I grabbed it. Wanted to try a shorter wb. When I looked at the board it's labeled s3 shape with 14.2 wb. Still stoked to set it up, it's just not what I thought it would be.

The graphic is a bit grainy. Doesn't matter but I expected the graphic to be neater, especially from a fashion-ish brand.

Although I feel the same way (re: prices), that’s just the cost these days. Sweatshirts cost $75, often. And truthfully, shit should probably cost more.

Both of those sets of wheels are 52’s. I know it’s all in my head, but I feel like I can’t lock into/pinch crooked grinds with anything bigger than that. The height of the axles are at the same height as an old set of 147’s I had laying around so I should be good. If I were to guess I’d say I’m still about a month away from needing to set these up

Took advantage of some element discount codes.



sold and profited.


Thought the National Geo board was longer. I prefer at the least 32in.
Havent skated element in years. I love that its BBS and I think graphics solid too.

Didnt know the duro of these wheels before I got them. Theyre 98. Considering to trade or sell them.

Your personal messages are probably blowing the fuck up with people trying to buy those bam wheels from you.

Imagine caring about a wheel graphic ::)

Imagine thinking someone wants to buy element wheels ::)

I’d skate bam wheels with this graphic if they were formula fours. Or put them on a cruiser if they were oj keyframes. Not even people who have element as their one sponsor skate element wheels. If somebody buys these off you I’ll Venmo you money.

Ordered the AA Authentic Hi's. I couldn't decide between Old Skool Pros or Rowans, so I went the complete opposite direction.

Main thing I'm looking forward to is how Popcush compares to Ultracush. I can't find ANY reviews that compare the two in-depth. It's just "yeah popcush is ultracush but better." How is it better? Does it offer good support like Lakai? Does it last longer than Ultracush? How is the heelbed compared to Ultracush? etc etc etc.

I plan to wear/skate these for a few weeks and then make a dedicated thread comparing the two. I think it's important now that Vans has a new insole that isn't a variation of Ultracush.

replied in another thread and also a few other threads weeks back - but I like it more. UltraCush bottoms out. It was real soft.  The is firmer compound that reminds me of Emerica g6 insole (wino skip on g6) I’ve interchanged them and not a huge difference except maybe thinner forefoot. Support I don’t know yeah heel cop wise they hold you in.. arch support you mean?

I haven't had experience with Emerica yet.

By heelbed I mean when you put on Vans with Ultracush and it feels like your heel is sinking into the soft thick insole. Arch support is a concern as well for me. I'm hoping these insoles work out, hearing that they're much harder compared to Ultracush is a great sign.

I know FP gamechangers exist, but I shouldn't have to buy a separate pair of insoles for an expensive ($70-100) shoe to be good (looking at you Nike SB, fuck Zoom Air).

yeah man got really worried about my local shop when the pandemic hit ny hard. had some extra cash from letting go of some excess gear so im doing some tinkering.

getting really close to finding my ideal setup and having everything locked in minus the deck (hopefully saving me money and headaches in the long run). latest lesson is that pointy kicks makes decks feel smaller than i like and that 101a f4 would work better with my skating

Domestics is the shit! Ordered some pants and a mask, but they must have had an issue with my shipping address... Joe sent me a text and an email to sort everything out and those great folks in New Jersey ended up sending me a free hooded sweatshirt and a load of stickers as a bonus! What a stand up company with some well made goods! I would definitely suggest supporting this company if you're able.

I know it's been asked a bunch, but how do those Domestics pants fit? I've heard mixed reviews.

I feel like the fit is pretty "standard"... Not too baggy and not too tight... Fit like most other pants they compare to that I own (Levis, Volcom, etc...). I weigh about 180 lbs, stand about 5'9" and I went with a 32/32 in the corduroys and the same in the 7 oz midweight pants. The corduroys are a bit heavier/thicker, which I like, while the 7 oz midweight pants are a little lighter/thinner and that's cool too. I can wear 30/30 in a lot of pants, as well, but I like to go 32/32 for a baggier fit and to compensate for any shrinkage that might occur during the laundry process. Hopefully that helps, brother...

Great size board, I’ve skated two on that shape. the nose is a little pointy and the tail is fuller than the nose, makes it seem smaller than it is, for better or worse

You are not a child.
You are decent at skating.
You have means.


Why do you buy these wack combo-paks from what I can only assume are fucked up channels? I don’t understand it. I know you are in Europe or something, but wtf. You don’t have shops over there? Why the obsession with old, cobbled together packages of weird shit? Why not just get one, good thing?

i actually prefer the feel of 101a over 99a. for the few times i tried them, they respond to me better for some reason. slide when i want them to and grip when i need them.

bombed a parking garage spiral exit and my 99a concical fulls didnt slide well until i slipped out near the bottom. maybe its in my head but this roadrash is making me question doing 99a F4 ever again.

I like picking up janky lightly used setups on 2nd hand sites in my country. I'm a bit of a truck & board hoarder and been trying to collect boards of the pros I liked growing up (Arto, Appleyard, Cardiel, Kirchart, AVE). Usually I pick up these lightly used or almost brand new boards for $40, keep the parts I like and flip the rest. I'm usually able to turn a $20-30 profit while keeping the stuff I like. The second hand market is big where I am (South-East Asia); brand new setup are pricey due to shipping and import taxes, a brand new setup costs $190 and up.

Was luck to pickup this setup for around $40, should be able to sell the trucks for $35, wheels for $20 and bearings for $10.

And no I don't think you're an asshole.

Just bought some Venture 6.1, SJ hardware and big balls.
I'll be setting a sweet 9" popsicle with STF 99 V4 54mm.
Super stoked.

These are the last four boards I‘ll buy for months . I already have 6 other decks waiting to get skated, but who knows what’s going to happen to board production/distribution in the short term. I’m hoping that what I have will last me the next 4-6 months

Sure buddy.....

Was going to try one of the Krooked Pricepoints decks a while ago, hope they are good.

AH John Cardiel 8.06
Came with 149 Thunder Team Standard (Green and Purple), Spitfire wheels and bearings. I'll keep the board (because Cardiel) and sell the rest for parts. Only unfortunate thing is the grip is the flaming Spitfire one.
Unless someone magically gets a run of Anti Hero 8.1 eagles I’m not buying anymore boards. I’m already skating my current board longer than I normally would just to stretch things out as long as I can. It’ll be a bit till I skate the Krooked, but I’ll let you know how it skates. Comparing it to an eagle and a full I’d say it’s an in-between shape

DLX boards are hit and miss with me. 8.06 x 31.8 x 14.38 worked great, 8.18 x 31.8 x 14.38 not so much, both paired with Thunder 148 Titanium. Almost went with the Krooked PP but went with a Prime wood blank.

Prime is real weird. I had this Markovich board from them that had a real close shape to the old DLX Tommy Guerrero jump ramp shape. It was great, so I got a few more. They were all different shapes and I hated all of them. Some guys that were around when Prime was at its peak said that they pulled that back then too. They pulled that stunt last year where they claimed some re-issue board was pressed and screened in LA by the same guys that did the original, but then it turned out that they were heat transfers from overseas once everyone got their pre-orders. They run a real weird program over there

My like 5th pair of ACE. Previous 4 only lasted a few sessions each before going back to ventures. For some reason my brain thought it was a great idea to give em another go. We’ll see how it goes.

So when you went back to Ventures did you just throw away the aces each time?

Nah, usually sell them on here or at the park. So maybe be on the lookout for some shlelby blue 44's once this rain clears.

My common law wife and I will sometimes joke when we hear some guy trot out the: ‘yeah I mean the old battle axe would never let me have all of this fish in gear blah blah’...
Us, behind that person's back: ‘sounds like you have great relationship buddy Jesus hahaha’.

There is no fucking way that I would walk in triumphantly with that amount of cargo and not get significant comments.

I can tell you are into her based off of the couch at work and you still go home. I’ve tried to argue those type of angles before and it’s never worked.

I've been skating a lot more thanks to some really good isolation spots. Can range from a week to over a month and a half. Occasionally get the bad luck board that snaps within a couple sessions. Sometimes I dont even snap em and just switch it out cause the woods getting soggy. Have a stack of old boards that I need to drop off at the skatepark soon. Been buying boards more lately so far I have 2 baker 8.38s and one quasi 8.25 on deck. Riding a No Comply shop deck right now that my buddy won 2nd place in the graphic contest.

Care if I ask how you like their shop boards? I almost ordered one alongside the wheels but I'm hesitant because I really didn't like the Roger I ordered during the most recent reboot. Wondering if they're similar or not. I had the  2 Birds 1 Stoned board and it was way too pointy and felt a little soggy, to me.

Edit: Kept it as a semi skated wallhanger though, excellen graphic.

Care if I ask how you like their shop boards? I almost ordered one alongside the wheels but I'm hesitant because I really didn't like the Roger I ordered during the most recent reboot. Wondering if they're similar or not. I had the  2 Birds 1 Stoned board and it was way too pointy and felt a little soggy, to me.

Edit: Kept it as a semi skated wallhanger though, excellen graphic.
Shop boards are from the same woodshop as roger. Clutch I believe. I've had mixed results. They all start off snappy and crispy at the beginning but I've had crazy chips from not so hard wall run ins. Some boards sog out quickly after 5 sessions or so but also had really good boards that lasted over a month of intense skating. This one is holding strong after three sessions. Hoping for the best. If you didn't like roger though i would maybe get something from a woodshop you like.

Just ordered some FP kingfoam insoles for my new balance 379’s. I’ve never tried switching insoles before so I’m curious to how much of a difference it’s makes.

I put FP in every shoe for the past few years.  takes so much longer for my feet to get sore. worth every penny.  I get the 5mm or 7mm kingfoam.

Dope to support the shop/scene tho.
How long does a deck ‘last’ you? I’ve got a stack (4-5 completes) + 5 or so decks. Almost all are over 1 year old. Rotation + not skating much, shredding never ends up with a bunch of....used but decent but not new and exciting stuff

I've been skating a lot more thanks to some really good isolation spots. Can range from a week to over a month and a half. Occasionally get the bad luck board that snaps within a couple sessions.

Roger is probably my all time favorite company but I’ve been so bummed on the shapes since they came back haven’t tried the tug boat shapes but I really liked the og roger stuff. Maybe the first time around they were using ps for some runs?

They were 100% using PS around 2013, I used to skate that 8 x 31.5 shape that Habitat and Alien also used on some boards back then.

I got mine in and realized I’m an idiot and ordered the flat King foams and not the orthotics. I put them in some Lakai MJ’s I have and they felt good but I went ahead and ordered some 6mm King foam orthotics for the shoes I’ll actually skate.

Shot in the dark here, but does anyone know who/which shop got all butthurt about the Lotties shirts? I saw they mentioned that someone got super upset and sent a cease and desist, so they wouldn’t be making anymore of the shirts themselves, but that post got deleted. I asked a couple buddies that own shops that were part of this but they don’t know either

Rocklobster called me out when I said I wouldn’t buy anymore boards and he was right. I bought the eagle from a shop in Colorado a friend works at, and Grant Yansura gave me a WKND board earlier today. The WKND is bigger than I normally ride, but I’m still stoked. If anything I’ll skate it as a skatepark board

Gonna try the Modus bearings out.
Clean em and put speedcream in them as I've heard they're slathered in thick grease.

Thunders are 147 Team Lights. Not sure what the point is of these since the forged baseplate is replaced with the heavier cast team baseplate leaving the only difference being the hollow kingpin.
Oh well, it's what the local shop had and I wanted a silver 147 thunder with cast/team baseplate anyway.
Hollow kingpin ads to the placebo/cool gimmick factor I guess.

COVID has me interpreting supply shortages a little drastically & I now find myself snatching up supplies whenever possible.
I use the justification that I’m not going out or spending money on anything else, so why not build up a “just in case” supply in the closet. The stockpile is getting ridiculous though, but at least I know I’ll be set if the economy hits a reef & sinks before making it back to shore.
I tell myself that by preparing for the possibility that they won’t be around later on, I can support my local shop(s) NOW & help them finance an respectable funeral for themselves if it doesn’t work out, post corona.
Since the pandemic hit, I have purchased the following:
Ace 55s = 2 sets
Bones Swiss = 2 sets (1 is standard, 1 is 6 ball)
Spitfire Formula 4, 56mm Conical (full) 99 du = 3 sets
Polar P8 shape = 2
Welcome Jordan Sanchez (Nibiru) shape = 1
Scram BTP shape = 1
SoCal blank Z4 shape = 1
Grip for days
I think I’m set, & knowing I may never need to worry about decks again is reassuring & happys me all the way through to my heart 103 du Power Core.

I’m hesitant to hoard decks but I did buy a set of conical full 54/99 and a set of slimeball mini vomits 53/97. Pretty hyped on them, especially the tiny vomits, since I used to have 60mm ones (oh man do I hate risers tho). They’re not gonna be skated anytime soon tho since all my current wheels are doing a well.

I am however considering getting more Ace 44s since I’m still worried they’ll make the sizing changes post-pandemic. Anyone heard more about that? Guess that’s a question for the truck thread.

Picked up a Plan B deck. Sheffey because that was the least embarrassing one I could find. While the company is pretty lame and does pretty much nothing of note with their stacked team, I've been curious about their decks ever since I saw a profile shot of one of the Joslin boards.

This thing is pretty unique, it's a PS "pro-spec" construction which is probably just marketing bs. It's labeled 8.25 but measures closer to 8.2 on my tape and is a compact 31.25 tip to tip with a 14.25 wb. The concave is mellow, not quite as flat as my Toy Machine monsters but definitely pretty flat. Tail seems a little short (haven't measured it), with a pretty mellow angle to it which should make for a very snappy pop. Nose is surprisingly large, I'd guess close to 7" and is a good bit steeper than the tail. The kicks are classic rounded popsicle shape and the deck is pretty full shaped, with only a very slight taper to the rear truck holes. It's kind of like a shorter, fuller quasi or wknd with round rather than blunt kicks. Put it on indy 144 titaniums and 54mm spitfire conical full but might switch to something lower if I don't like how it feels.

I broke my phone and had to get a total trash Obamaphone style thing since that's all the store had, so I'm waiting for sunlight to take a Pic because that's the only way it doesn't look like a blurry turd. Pretty stoked to try this thing out though, I love short and nimble setups and this ticks all the boxes. If it was 8.3 it would be in my goldilocks territory, at least on paper.

Just ordered a krooked zip zinger 7.75 width!

wich trucks you guys think would work on that?

i would either go with thunder 143 or 145 but can't really figure out the taper on the board and how wide it is over the trucks!

Any help is appreciated!


checking the CRUISER thread now...

Sounds fun.
That grimple polarizer also sick.
I’ve never skated one, so i don’t know what truck size, I always assumed I’d just use 5.0s.
Narrower the better if the parts are gonna stay on that board tho, imo

145's have 7.62" axle width and are recommended for board sizes 7.4-7.9.
Thunder 143 would be very small.
147 is another possibility if you prefer a slightly wider stance. This also give you the option to go a bit wider in the future if that's something you might want to try.

You can use shims/speed rings to shift the position of the wheels to your liking. Put extra shims on the inside of the wheels to push them out or remove the shims there and put them on the outside to push the wheels in.

But Thunder 145  is the recommended size for 7.75.
Hope this helped.

Perfect!

Just browsed through the Cruiser Thread and saw some dude rocking a zinger with indy 144 wich looked good too!

147 thunders is my regular truck size on my setup and i have 148s on my other 8.25 cruiser, so i guess i'll try to find some thunder 145s and might order some spitfire 80HD chargers in 54!

Thanks a lot for the fast reply!

if i have the setup ready i will figure out how to post photos on here!

I've googled the the zip zinger board and I can see why the shape gets confusing. I'd still stick to 145's and wouldn't worry too much if the wheels are sticking out a bit.
Saw certain setups with huge cruiser wheels with the wheels sticking out quite a bit.
Might even try the trucks you've already got laying around.

Regarding posting images:

"Copy address of this image".
I don't know how to resize the image so I resize it before uploading it to imgur. You can use Photoshop, Paint or perhaps a resizing website. 600 pixels wide is what I go for.

Grabbed one of the Kinetic x Lotties SHOPS shirts that I am super stoked on.  The graphic reminds me of an old NYHC demo tape.

Shot in the dark here, but does anyone know who/which shop got all butthurt about the Lotties shirts? I saw they mentioned that someone got super upset and sent a cease and desist, so they wouldn’t be making anymore of the shirts themselves, but that post got deleted. I asked a couple buddies that own shops that were part of this but they don’t know either

Rocklobster called me out when I said I wouldn’t buy anymore boards and he was right. I bought the eagle from a shop in Colorado a friend works at, and Grant Yansura gave me a WKND board earlier today. The WKND is bigger than I normally ride, but I’m still stoked. If anything I’ll skate it as a skatepark board
I fucking knew it!!

Been eyeing an WKND Alexis Sablone deck on Zumiez for a while but I've got load of BBS boards to work through (2 Element Nyjah boards, 2 from Canada Skate Shop).

Really enjoyed my first session with it today despite the wind making flip tricks a bit more frustrating than usual. That mellow tail and 31.25" length make it really fun to just snap off quick little ollies, you can half ass them and still get reasonable pop.

I also cannot do this, wearing competing brands. 
One of my fave posters 144p mentioned something similar with shoe t-shirts. Same, can’t do the lakai t/stickers and wear vans.
As I age at what feels like a rapidly increasing rate, I care less tho. I can now see how air monarchs and jorts make sense, giving up.
I probably feel more self conscious looking too fitted.

The one on the far right is a 101 Adam mcnatt reissue it 8.5 x 31.75 WB 14 it seems slightly smaller
The chocolate Kenny Anderson  is 8.125 x 31.625 14 wb

You've all seen these blind decks b4 I'm riding an r7 one at the moment
This one looks to be a prime screen printed one unfortunately

Grabbed one of the Kinetic x Lotties SHOPS shirts that I am super stoked on.  The graphic reminds me of an old NYHC demo tape.

Shot in the dark here, but does anyone know who/which shop got all butthurt about the Lotties shirts? I saw they mentioned that someone got super upset and sent a cease and desist, so they wouldn’t be making anymore of the shirts themselves, but that post got deleted. I asked a couple buddies that own shops that were part of this but they don’t know either

Rocklobster called me out when I said I wouldn’t buy anymore boards and he was right. I bought the eagle from a shop in Colorado a friend works at, and Grant Yansura gave me a WKND board earlier today. The WKND is bigger than I normally ride, but I’m still stoked. If anything I’ll skate it as a skatepark board

Got my stimulus check yesterday and splurged on some skate shit at Tactics and Skate Warehouse. I picked up an Antihero deck with grip, a set of Spitfires, a new set of bearings and some slide rails. From SW I got an Indy and a Spit t-shirt. Thanks, future generations of taxpayers

First Hopps deck. 8.375 Dustin Eggeling. I really like the shape and am excited to try it out.

Just got done skating that exact board (even the same grey stained bottom play) and I loved it.  The the theories 8-3/8” shape is a favorite of mine.

Good to know. Shape looks great. I've been on the 8.38 MAnderson shape the last couple of boards. Only real difference is the kicks aren't as fat and blunted.

For sure, it felt a little pointy at first but you get used to it quickly.  I’ve been wanting to try the am Anderson shape badly, would you recommend?

Highly recommend. It's got full squared nose and tail, not wknd/fa square though. mellow concave. Rode it with venture 5.8 and love the combo. Im hoping I'll love the hopps and stick to them for the next few boards. Ive been really into the static/eastern exposures lately. Plus Jahmal...

I want some 55s. 66s seem like too much tho. I was really contemplating putting together an 80s looking board, before I realized I just should not be spending money in these weird times, and the 161s seemed like they might still be street functional. This is all just in my head, but a kickflip seems possible on 161s. I didn’t think that would be the case with 66s

Not necessarily skate related, but I ordered a button up shirt for myself and a pair of shorts for my partner from Ceeblues, Gilbert Crockett's vintage store he runs with his mom. They shipped it right away and even threw in a sick Ceeblues t-shirt for free! I'd definitely recommend them, they have a really nice selection of clothes for both men and women.

Yes! I wish I had checked them out sooner since the relaunch! I wrote off AWS 2.0 because it didn't have the same charm as OG Alien did, plus was unsure about quality.
Came to thoroughly enjoy the full nose and slightly fuller tails/concave from WKND, Numbers, and Habitat over the last 4 years. Definitely excited to try this one out. I bought an alien a few months back but paid it forward to a homie in need since I have a small board stack I want to go through first.

I don't put much faith in glow in the dark skate gear since it's usually facing down and not getting any direct sunlight.

Egg-shaped decks are pretty hard to get here in Malaysia. 1 of our local skateshop has some Primitive DragonBall collab in, and i've been eyeing the Franky board.. So when they came in i snagged 2 to go.. The moebius collab has the same exact dimension..9.125 x 32.187, nose 6.9, tail 6.4 & 14.25wb. Already setup 1 with Indy 159 standards & f4 99a 54mm. Ordered a set of Ace55s from a skate shop in Thailand. Will set those up once it arrives. I hv the 44s on the AH 8.5 black widow..

What did you put it through?
I’ve had mine for something like 7 or 8 years (replaced screen driver with a plus reserve one) and it’s still going strong.

I bought mine about a year into skating and have had it ever since. Been maybe almost 9 years with it now, might be the one possession I've had longer than anything else. Best investment

I had one but snapped the plastic while tightening an axle nut on a worn out pair of trucks, so I have to carry this and a Unit tool in my kit. I find the file too smooth, my griptape trimming skills suck so I find the edges down pretty hard to make the cut easier.

Just bought the black Carrolls, can't wait to actually get my hands on them. I had the Griffins with the same sole and they were really good, so Im hyped to skate the shoes and to support Lakai
[close]

If I liked my Protos in 9, I assume I’d like the Carrolls in the same size? I’m gonna need a fit report when they come in.
Don't know about Protos, but I ordered them in 9 because that is the size I had when I had the the Griffin XLKs, but that was 4 years ago. Ill report back once I have them for sure. I wear a size 9 usually.

It's really hot in Spain right now so I got another pair of Lucas Premiere Primeknit, probably the best summer shoe ever made.

Also my wife got me a gift card from the polar website, so I bought a fresh deck and t-shirt, unfortunately, almost all the apparel was sold out in my size

I need these in 5.0 high! I wish other truck companies still used the cupped bushing washer like venture does. thunder and indy switched to the thinner ones that cut your bushings all up.

Grabbed some F4 Classics 52mm 101a for cheap.Took me a long time to decide between 101a and 99a, went with the 101a because I thought they would be more similar to the STF's that I've been skating for the most of my skate life.
Also bought a 8.125 Real deck which I think must be the perfect size for me as the 8.28 I am riding now seems a bit bulky at times.

Just found out that Fedex doesn't deliver to PO Boxes or some shit like that, but I don't really know what will happen to my Carrolls . My Kalis S' are starting to blow out, so they are going to need to be replaced soon. I used that as an excuse to go into Ebay and get shoes that I can make sure Ill receive soon. Its crazy that the Kalis S are like 100 bucks usually and I found them for 45 bucks, brand new. They were cheaper than all the other shoes I searched for (Manchester XLK, Legacy, Atlantic) and not just in this colorway, you people should get on that while its hot. Also got the Figgys to chill in and wear as a normal person for 30 bucks.  Gotta love Ebay.

In US dollars roughly $20 which is bout RM85 in my local currencry. They use DHL Express. If i get em direct from Ace website, the shipping itself cost more than the price of the trucks themselves.

I’m not a stone mason, but I don’t think there’s really a difference. You can save a lot of time using a concrete disk if you have an angle grinder. Make sure to not breathe in any of the dust either way

Honestly, if you go to any local fabrication/welding shop they will probably build you a rail or metal box for the right amount of money. A lot of Fab shops will do small commission work, or at least one of the welders could hook you up for a good price. $500 is a lot, but I completely understand the convenience of getting a transforming box/rail.
That's exactly what that company does, it looks like it's just a guy that knows how to weld and made some good contacts and a website.
I was going to contact some local plastics fabrication shops around my area to see if they have any scrap or cheap plastic sheets to make a butter bench.
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: Xen on June 05, 2020, 08:24:12 PM
^^ I'm in it for the trans-formative aspects, specifically the bench to flat bar.

I don't doubt a local shop could build one or the other but the cost goes up surely with all the design and intricacies of making such a thing.

I'll get my monies worth I think.
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: Ok on June 05, 2020, 09:15:43 PM
I don’t think you could get that made for much cheaper than $500 tbh.

I’m most curious to see how it holds up, and if it stays in place when skating it. Looks hella fun

Review please.

For sure!

In the meantime, for those that haven't checked the link, here's how it works.

Was thinking of grabbing one but it could cost me close to $500 just to get it shipped to Asia. There was a video which said the bolt which locks the rotating mechanism gets bent pretty easily, you may want to look at getting a replacement bolt.

Honestly, if you go to any local fabrication/welding shop they will probably build you a rail or metal box for the right amount of money. A lot of Fab shops will do small commission work, or at least one of the welders could hook you up for a good price. $500 is a lot, but I completely understand the convenience of getting a transforming box/rail.
That's exactly what that company does, it looks like it's just a guy that knows how to weld and made some good contacts and a website.
I was going to contact some local plastics fabrication shops around my area to see if they have any scrap or cheap plastic sheets to make a butter bench.

It's $550 including shipping plus I live in a tiny apartment with no garage or storage space. Space aside welding and building services are pricey in Singapore which is an island city. Welding is a cottage and dying industry since we import everything and raw materials cost a bomb here too.

Decided to splurge a bit since I don't have much else to do.

Got my first Madness deck, which is gorgeous and feels really well made. I also got some thin rails for it too, but I'm going to wait a bit before putting them on.

Also got the 54mm 78A Ricta Clouds, plus a couple hats.

Does it transform into a bench?

Does it have multiple height adjustments?

Can you angle it?

Is both a round and flat bar?

If you got all that for $80 from a local, let us know who and where the shop is.

bought shit I didn't need.
I always try a bunch of wheels only the end up back on bones. currently riding wreck 83bs, which feel a little softer but are growing on me. Wasn't expecting to see these autobahn the shop so I grabbed them. I won't skate them for a while. New hardware cause my bolts were looking a little scruffy and mismatch

I don't know how your locals are doing, but this one claims to be doing alright in corona. Said his main problem is he can't keep the cheaper stuff in stock.

I wanted some 54 OG classics but got some 53 classics since it what was the shop had. wanted to try those since I've only been skating OG classic type wheels for a second. wanted to support and try some new gear so I went for it

sick. hope you enjoy the aces you're gonna pick up.

my other board has indies stage 11 with some dekeyzer spitfires. speed and turning feels great but it's a little heavier. kinda fun to have a lighter feeling setup.

I could use those trucks and wheels. Though the plank of wood away though.

DLX has been price gouging (I hope that's the correct term) and sending very little product to my local shop (where I like to do about 90% of my purchases) here in Japan since around last June (way before pandemic). The shop is actually considering dropping them completely since Sml, Bones and even Acid wheels are becoming more popular lately and Indy and Ace are taking over on the trucks side (at least this is the case in my prefecture). DLX brand decks have never been too popular here mostly because of the odd or terrible graphics. I prefer BBS or Crail and occasionally DSM wood so I skate a lot of Hook-Ups, Polar, Alien, Theories, Habitat and occasionally Girl and Enjoi boards. We just got some Hockey/FA in for the first time so I may purchase a couple of those since the shapes look cool. None of the other distributors (NHS/Dwindle/Theories/TumYeto/CrailTap/Hook-Ups (big anime tiddys)/Sovereign Sect for example) are charging them above and beyond the usual slightly higher than US prices we've gotten used to paying. Anyways, I usually ride Thunders but we've had none since last June so I've been riding Indy Titaniums since wearing out my last set of Thunders (they cracked right after I hit axle, sad day). I saw the Venture Titaniums in the shop the other day, and the prices, wow! So I left without buying and decided today that if they're still there (I didn't think they would be) then I'd purchase them. I haven't ridden Venture since the 1990's and all I can say from first observation is wow that baseplate is huge! Oh and wowee do I hate the color gold! Gonna need a very specific deck for these to work out and look good.

The Formula Fours are the shape/size I used to always ride but it's been over a year since I had them. I am completely satisfied with the Sml OG formula wheels but I wanted to try these out once again. I have way too many setups right now! As far as the weird gray color, one moment I think they look cool then the next I feel they may be the ugliest wheels I've ever seen. There's no happy medium. I'll see what they look like after being skated to make the final decision. I think I'm trending toward the latter opinion though...

Price for comparison: Venture 5.6 Titaniums - ¥13,500.00 About $125.00 US *gulp
                                  Indy 144 Titaniums - ¥9,000.00 About $85.00 US

                                  Most Sml/Bones/Ojs - ¥5,500.00 About $50.00 US
                                  Spitfire Formula Fours - ¥8,500.00 About $80.00 US *double gulp with a bit of a puke burp!

So yeah, if DLX prices stay this way they will continue to get less popular here I feel especially since we are also in a recession now. I'm glad I discovered Sml wheels! I just don't know if I'm going to like any trucks more than I did Thunder. Indy are good all purpose trucks but something is missing for me riding them, just a certain feeling or something. I feel very fortunate to be able to choose different gear and not be affected by the recession as of now. I am also still able to eat ramen non-stop and pay for my Ninja School tuition (It's a joke)! I'm only 1/4 Japanese any ways (American Mom • Half Japanese/Belgian Dad), so they'd never accept my application!

I also two weeks ago got a set of Ace trucks to try out (I hope they don't sponsor the evil 1010 still, oh and we don't "all love him in Japan" that's a very small set of older skaters and notoriously racist bikers). I'm having a really hard time breaking in the Ace stock bushings. They're really mushy and stay stuck leaning one way or the other. I ride trucks moderately loose as well (kingpin nut is usually just barely flush with the top of the kingpin). They were so inexpensive though! Only ¥6,000.00 (About $55.00 US) so I'm hoping I will eventually like them since they seem to always be in stock and have a recession proof cost!

I hope I made the photos with the right dimensions!

I'm sorry I keep writing so much, I have too much free time right now being quarantined, yes many of us in most prefectures are still voluntarily staying home as much as possible. American news about Japan is always so far off from reality I've noticed. Imagine everyone assuming the entire US is just like NYC. That's what happens here except it's with Tokyo. I hope to get better at posting here in time. Please forgive me if I've wasted your time.

I ride trucks moderately loose as well (kingpin nut is usually just barely flush with the top of the kingpin). They were so inexpensive though! Only ¥6,000.00 (About $55.00 US) so I'm hoping I will eventually like them since they seem to always be in stock and have a recession proof cost!

I hope I made the photos with the right dimensions!

I'm sorry I keep writing so much, I have too much free time right now being quarantined, yes many of us in most prefectures are still voluntarily staying home as much as possible. American news about Japan is always so far off from reality I've noticed. Imagine everyone assuming the entire US is just like NYC. That's what happens here except it's with Tokyo. I hope to get better at posting here in time. Please forgive me if I've wasted your time.

Thank you! I hope you have a good day too! I'm glad it was readable, I was worried I babbled on too much and it wouldn't make sense.

so many questions and no answers.

I didn't need it, but was feeling it. with the 14.125 WB going to sit well with my Ventures 5.6s

Also nabbed these for my smaller board. 147 Hollow lights as TI are nowhere to be found.

I really hope wheel wells become popular again and I hope we eventually get these Polar decks here! Can I ask what the deck width is? Also, you have a great photo setup for products! These shots look great! I want to get a white box for shooting skate stuff but for now I have to settle for my stairwell which is mostly white. Hey, at least you can get Thunders at all! Enjoy the cool new gear!

Ordered a DOA 8.125 and some 50mm SF Classics from Library. I had to call today to ask a question and the guy that answered was a cool mf. I also ordered a Hockey 8.125 from the FA site on Sunday and that thing hasn't even been shipped, but with everything going on maybe they are f'd up. Hopefully not.

DLX has been price gouging (I hope that's the correct term) and sending very little product to my local shop (where I like to do about 90% of my purchases) here in Japan since around last June (way before pandemic). The shop is actually considering dropping them completely since Sml, Bones and even Acid wheels are becoming more popular lately and Indy and Ace are taking over on the trucks side (at least this is the case in my prefecture). DLX brand decks have never been too popular here mostly because of the odd or terrible graphics. I prefer BBS or Crail and occasionally DSM wood so I skate a lot of Hook-Ups, Polar, Alien, Theories, Habitat and occasionally Girl and Enjoi boards. We just got some Hockey/FA in for the first time so I may purchase a couple of those since the shapes look cool. None of the other distributors (NHS/Dwindle/Theories/TumYeto/CrailTap/Hook-Ups (big anime tiddys)/Sovereign Sect for example) are charging them above and beyond the usual slightly higher than US prices we've gotten used to paying. Anyways, I usually ride Thunders but we've had none since last June so I've been riding Indy Titaniums since wearing out my last set of Thunders (they cracked right after I hit axle, sad day). I saw the Venture Titaniums in the shop the other day, and the prices, wow! So I left without buying and decided today that if they're still there (I didn't think they would be) then I'd purchase them. I haven't ridden Venture since the 1990's and all I can say from first observation is wow that baseplate is huge! Oh and wowee do I hate the color gold! Gonna need a very specific deck for these to work out and look good.

The Formula Fours are the shape/size I used to always ride but it's been over a year since I had them. I am completely satisfied with the Sml OG formula wheels but I wanted to try these out once again. I have way too many setups right now! As far as the weird gray color, one moment I think they look cool then the next I feel they may be the ugliest wheels I've ever seen. There's no happy medium. I'll see what they look like after being skated to make the final decision. I think I'm trending toward the latter opinion though...

Price for comparison: Venture 5.6 Titaniums - ¥13,500.00 About $125.00 US *gulp
                                  Indy 144 Titaniums - ¥9,000.00 About $85.00 US

                                  Most Sml/Bones/Ojs - ¥5,500.00 About $50.00 US
                                  Spitfire Formula Fours - ¥8,500.00 About $80.00 US *double gulp with a bit of a puke burp!

So yeah, if DLX prices stay this way they will continue to get less popular here I feel especially since we are also in a recession now. I'm glad I discovered Sml wheels! I just don't know if I'm going to like any trucks more than I did Thunder. Indy are good all purpose trucks but something is missing for me riding them, just a certain feeling or something. I feel very fortunate to be able to choose different gear and not be affected by the recession as of now. I am also still able to eat ramen non-stop and pay for my Ninja School tuition (It's a joke)! I'm only 1/4 Japanese any ways (American Mom • Half Japanese/Belgian Dad), so they'd never accept my application!

I also two weeks ago got a set of Ace trucks to try out (I hope they don't sponsor the evil 1010 still, oh and we don't "all love him in Japan" that's a very small set of older skaters and notoriously racist bikers). I'm having a really hard time breaking in the Ace stock bushings. They're really mushy and stay stuck leaning one way or the other. I ride trucks moderately loose as well (kingpin nut is usually just barely flush with the top of the kingpin). They were so inexpensive though! Only ¥6,000.00 (About $55.00 US) so I'm hoping I will eventually like them since they seem to always be in stock and have a recession proof cost!

I hope I made the photos with the right dimensions!

I'm sorry I keep writing so much, I have too much free time right now being quarantined, yes many of us in most prefectures are still voluntarily staying home as much as possible. American news about Japan is always so far off from reality I've noticed. Imagine everyone assuming the entire US is just like NYC. That's what happens here except it's with Tokyo. I hope to get better at posting here in time. Please forgive me if I've wasted your time.

Could it be because venture and thunder are made in the US so have higher tariffs and shipping cost?

A japanese distributor could order a production run of Indy,  straight from the factory at a discount (I assume of course they could, lots of other goods allow this, Indy still gets a cut) and that’s how they’re getting them to the shops at a lower price, I don’t know what the import tax is like from japan to China buts it’s gotta be cheaper than the US.

All NHS products come here from the US, same as DLX, there’s no short way to get Independent Trucks for example straight from the foundry in China. Some assortments of smaller brands come through smaller Japan based distribution but all US based brands originate from the US. Evisen, Strush Wheels and some other small Japanese brands that self-distribute would be the exception and are less expensive here. This is what the shop owner tells me. Same import policy applies to DLX as it would NHS. The DLX prices were raised by DLX on all their products not long after they had that Spitfire shortage start a year ago and prices never went back down. The shop has to charge a lot more to make the required profit percentage on their items. Since DLX brands have such a high reputation for quality in the US many here see it as arrogance, as if they believe their product is worth more. Seems to be having the opposite effect as they are losing popularity. When Hiroki Muraoka and a bunch of his crew as well as many Evisen skaters switched from Thunder to Indy not long ago I knew this sentiment was happening in more places than just my prefecture.

Oh and regarding Thunder and Venture. All forged base plates and hollow kingpins are manufactured and imported to the US from China Foundry and the metal alloys they require to manufacture the cast portions of the trucks at Ermico are sourced from China as well. This according to a DLX employee and also when certain products are imported here such as manufactured metals, origin of the metals used must be disclosed. We’ve known Indy, Thunder and Venture are mostly or completely products of China for a long time. When did you last see a Made In The USA claim on Thunders or Ventures product sku sticker? I think like 2013 or so is the last time I saw it on Thunders. It’s strange how secretive companies are allowed to be in the US. So perhaps the tariffs on aluminum Trump has enacted against China have lead to higher prices as well? I have no idea about that. Following the US regarding trade policy changes is too confusing these days. Maybe when trade policies aren’t so erratic and the pandemic hopefully ends then things will change.

Thunder is the only thing I really miss from DLX. I’m fine on Indy though now and perhaps I’ll begin to like the Aces as well. Only my second day trying the Ventures and not liking the feel or turn at all so far but I’ll wait until they are properly broke in to decide about them.

I'm not sure what the dominant online shopping platform is in Japan but Taobao and Aliexpress are really popular with the rest of Asia, Taobao especially if you can read Mandarin. I've seen loads of listing for Independent 139, 144 and 149 Hollows on Aliexpress, they are poured in China so I'm inclined to believe they are "less fake" if you catch my drift. There are also listings for Spitfire wheels in 100a (they only do 99a or 1010a) and are bright white instead of slightly yellow, so these are definitely suspect. Recently there have been Girl and Baker boards surfacing on these sites, probably old stock or just plain fakes.

If may want to check out the Independent trucks if you're willing to take the risk. I'm from Singapore and while the import taxes are lower they higher end trucks get expensive really quickly.

DLX has been price gouging (I hope that's the correct term) and sending very little product to my local shop (where I like to do about 90% of my purchases) here in Japan since around last June (way before pandemic). The shop is actually considering dropping them completely since Sml, Bones and even Acid wheels are becoming more popular lately and Indy and Ace are taking over on the trucks side (at least this is the case in my prefecture). DLX brand decks have never been too popular here mostly because of the odd or terrible graphics. I prefer BBS or Crail and occasionally DSM wood so I skate a lot of Hook-Ups, Polar, Alien, Theories, Habitat and occasionally Girl and Enjoi boards. We just got some Hockey/FA in for the first time so I may purchase a couple of those since the shapes look cool. None of the other distributors (NHS/Dwindle/Theories/TumYeto/CrailTap/Hook-Ups (big anime tiddys)/Sovereign Sect for example) are charging them above and beyond the usual slightly higher than US prices we've gotten used to paying. Anyways, I usually ride Thunders but we've had none since last June so I've been riding Indy Titaniums since wearing out my last set of Thunders (they cracked right after I hit axle, sad day). I saw the Venture Titaniums in the shop the other day, and the prices, wow! So I left without buying and decided today that if they're still there (I didn't think they would be) then I'd purchase them. I haven't ridden Venture since the 1990's and all I can say from first observation is wow that baseplate is huge! Oh and wowee do I hate the color gold! Gonna need a very specific deck for these to work out and look good.

The Formula Fours are the shape/size I used to always ride but it's been over a year since I had them. I am completely satisfied with the Sml OG formula wheels but I wanted to try these out once again. I have way too many setups right now! As far as the weird gray color, one moment I think they look cool then the next I feel they may be the ugliest wheels I've ever seen. There's no happy medium. I'll see what they look like after being skated to make the final decision. I think I'm trending toward the latter opinion though...

Price for comparison: Venture 5.6 Titaniums - ¥13,500.00 About $125.00 US *gulp
                                  Indy 144 Titaniums - ¥9,000.00 About $85.00 US

                                  Most Sml/Bones/Ojs - ¥5,500.00 About $50.00 US
                                  Spitfire Formula Fours - ¥8,500.00 About $80.00 US *double gulp with a bit of a puke burp!

So yeah, if DLX prices stay this way they will continue to get less popular here I feel especially since we are also in a recession now. I'm glad I discovered Sml wheels! I just don't know if I'm going to like any trucks more than I did Thunder. Indy are good all purpose trucks but something is missing for me riding them, just a certain feeling or something. I feel very fortunate to be able to choose different gear and not be affected by the recession as of now. I am also still able to eat ramen non-stop and pay for my Ninja School tuition (It's a joke)! I'm only 1/4 Japanese any ways (American Mom • Half Japanese/Belgian Dad), so they'd never accept my application!

I also two weeks ago got a set of Ace trucks to try out (I hope they don't sponsor the evil 1010 still, oh and we don't "all love him in Japan" that's a very small set of older skaters and notoriously racist bikers). I'm having a really hard time breaking in the Ace stock bushings. They're really mushy and stay stuck leaning one way or the other. I ride trucks moderately loose as well (kingpin nut is usually just barely flush with the top of the kingpin). They were so inexpensive though! Only ¥6,000.00 (About $55.00 US) so I'm hoping I will eventually like them since they seem to always be in stock and have a recession proof cost!

I hope I made the photos with the right dimensions!

I'm sorry I keep writing so much, I have too much free time right now being quarantined, yes many of us in most prefectures are still voluntarily staying home as much as possible. American news about Japan is always so far off from reality I've noticed. Imagine everyone assuming the entire US is just like NYC. That's what happens here except it's with Tokyo. I hope to get better at posting here in time. Please forgive me if I've wasted your time.

Could it be because venture and thunder are made in the US so have higher tariffs and shipping cost?

A japanese distributor could order a production run of Indy,  straight from the factory at a discount (I assume of course they could, lots of other goods allow this, Indy still gets a cut) and that’s how they’re getting them to the shops at a lower price, I don’t know what the import tax is like from japan to China buts it’s gotta be cheaper than the US.
[close]

All NHS products come here from the US, same as DLX, there’s no short way to get Independent Trucks for example straight from the foundry in China. Some assortments of smaller brands come through smaller Japan based distribution but all US based brands originate from the US. Evisen, Strush Wheels and some other small Japanese brands that self-distribute would be the exception and are less expensive here. This is what the shop owner tells me. Same import policy applies to DLX as it would NHS. The DLX prices were raised by DLX on all their products not long after they had that Spitfire shortage start a year ago and prices never went back down. The shop has to charge a lot more to make the required profit percentage on their items. Since DLX brands have such a high reputation for quality in the US many here see it as arrogance, as if they believe their product is worth more. Seems to be having the opposite effect as they are losing popularity. When Hiroki Muraoka and a bunch of his crew as well as many Evisen skaters switched from Thunder to Indy not long ago I knew this sentiment was happening in more places than just my prefecture.

Oh and regarding Thunder and Venture. All forged base plates and hollow kingpins are manufactured and imported to the US from China Foundry and the metal alloys they require to manufacture the cast portions of the trucks at Ermico are sourced from China as well. This according to a DLX employee and also when certain products are imported here such as manufactured metals, origin of the metals used must be disclosed. We’ve known Indy, Thunder and Venture are mostly or completely products of China for a long time. When did you last see a Made In The USA claim on Thunders or Ventures product sku sticker? I think like 2013 or so is the last time I saw it on Thunders. It’s strange how secretive companies are allowed to be in the US. So perhaps the tariffs on aluminum Trump has enacted against China have lead to higher prices as well? I have no idea about that. Following the US regarding trade policy changes is too confusing these days. Maybe when trade policies aren’t so erratic and the pandemic hopefully ends then things will change.

Thunder is the only thing I really miss from DLX. I’m fine on Indy though now and perhaps I’ll begin to like the Aces as well. Only my second day trying the Ventures and not liking the feel or turn at all so far but I’ll wait until they are properly broke in to decide about them.

I'm not sure what the dominant online shopping platform is in Japan but Taobao and Aliexpress are really popular with the rest of Asia, Taobao especially if you can read Mandarin. I've seen loads of listing for Independent 139, 144 and 149 Hollows on Aliexpress, they are poured in China so I'm inclined to believe they are "less fake" if you catch my drift. There are also listings for Spitfire wheels in 100a (they only do 99a or 1010a) and are bright white instead of slightly yellow, so these are definitely suspect. Recently there have been Girl and Baker boards surfacing on these sites, probably old stock or just plain fakes.

If may want to check out the Independent trucks if you're willing to take the risk. I'm from Singapore and while the import taxes are lower they higher end trucks get expensive really quickly.

I’ve not heard of those sites. Most skaters here purchase from local shops or other Japan shops online pages. I do some ordering online from the US via SOP Distribution for Acid Wheels, Theories of Atlantis and Jeremy Klein since they don’t charge a crazy amount for shipping here like most US sites do but I prefer to buy in person if at all possible. Independent Trucks aren’t too expensive or in short supply at all in the shop here. It’s the DLX ones (Thunder/Venture) that are. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Not to completely derail the thread but down here in South Africa we also have seen constant price increases from American brands.

We have one shop here selling DLX goods when they get drops 2 times a year, maybe more but i've heard prices are currently through the roof so dont know if/when there will be another drop soon..

I did however grab myself some 148s and a real 8.25 on the previous drop so I'm good for now. Got some backup spits as well thanks to Slap some time ago.

Working in retail and distribution i've actually considered to start distributing some brands in africa but damn....Work....

8.25 with wheel wells! I really want to get one of those! Please post if it cracks or anything earlier than a normal deck.

Wheelbase is actually 14.3 :-[ - I dipped on this because of the stated WB/Length, unless they are measuring from truck hole bottom edge versus center, then it lines up (typo length in my OG post, it's 31.875).

Oh well, have to see how it skates. Guess it's going to be Theeves or ML and not Venture..or maybe I'll hold out for the Mindys.

Ya’ll measuring center of one of the inner holes on the nose to center of one of the inner holes on the same side, on the tail? I’m assuming yes, that’s how I do it. 35th ave has different measurements than some companies, I think they measure their own way, and 35th has been accurate in my experience. The one big difference is that 35th ave measures tape pressed to the contour of the deck, which does make the most sense, but is different than how I’ve done it over my life. I have always done the tip to tip measurement. Width doesn’t get too affected by tip to tip vs tape pressed, but length does. I try to stay away from board that are >32” in length, tape pressed. I’m not quite sure how that converts. Lots of gibberish here, but if you are particular about measurements, try buying from them.

I'm already seeing inflated prices so I decided to just go for it. Honestly, I'd recommend the same.

I ordered from BSTN and was surprised that after conversion paid the same as I would've if I had ordered them from inside Canada (duties excl).

Seems like PS is backed up from covid delays so Scumco had Pennswood whip up some old graphics on some of the crazy stains. The first batch sold out in 2 hours and the second was gone in under an hour. I had to go through a shop and thus pay retail price, but it was a newer local shop so I don't mind. Truth be told the print quality isn't great on the Abair deck, it seems like the registration was a little off so it's blurry up close but the stain is really nice.

KT deck is 8.38 and Abair is 8.5, both 14" wb silver spoon concave. Not sure if I'm going to skate either of them yet or just keep for the scumcollection.

I’ve got more than a few boards that bare the marks of shame: multiple different trucks mounted. Parts bins with rubbish....all of these best laid plans. I haven’t ever figured out what works best, not one category has been settled. Wheels? 50-56 ish. Trucks? To many to list, but down to venture and ace, mostly. Boards? Nofuckingclue. I’ve got this one big board that’s a freak show: asymmetrical shape, not quite 33”, 14.75” wb. It doesn’t even look like a skateboard to me. I’m not saying I land on it every try, but that behemoth rotates the best treflips. Wtf.

Lots of blah blah per usual from me.
Hope it works out

A couple back up $lave pigs. I love this shape.
The one I'm riding might have some busted nanotubes.

Newbie here. I've been checking out that shape, why do you like it so much? What's the concave like?
Thanks  :)

Short answer: it's fun.
Super functional too though. I can do pretty much all the same tricks as on my 8.3 popsicle.
$lave boards are bareback wood. So concave is like any other bareback deck, perfectly medium.

Thanks man! I'm loving the Carrolls, and for some reason I threw Mob on this deck, so they will get tested better next week when I set this up.

I just got two pairs of Nikes SB Bruins (white w/ red swoosh, and the other is black suede), both for $65 off of eBay. And also ordered an Elenex Ghostface/Raekwon deck to try (saw Elenex listed on a black companies to support post on Insta, decided to give a deck a go). I can't wait for the deck to come in to see what it's like. $45 including grip, plus shipping.

It's rare I get stoked about shoes like I'm a little kid who gets kicks like once a year again but this shoe is nice as hell.

Sizing is slightly tighter than the pair I just skated. The toe box these are not as round. My foot locks right in so I'm lit.

Insoles are fucking garbage again. Can't polish a turd. Pretty graphic I guess

Kalis S were 43 bucks and the Figgys were 30, and couldn't resist and got the Carrolls the day they came out.  Should be set for like a year with the Kalis and Carrolls, and Im rocking the Figgys as civilian/chiller shoes. You can also see my current pair of Kalis S (love these 4real). I posted this in another thread but Im just too excited with the shoes.

Big setups got me extra dusty too.
That graphic is sick.
I’ve always thought 8.38 as 8.5, mainly because the first few I had were dlx and they felt big. 8.38 fa I’m on now doesn’t quite feel as big, as it’s shorter. Finally got along with it a bit better, ace, vulcs. I need to be pretty mindful on popping stuff, works well tho.
Not trying to polite this side of the boards with some of the back n forth that’s gone on, but the fa graphic I have (Nelson Mandela) is such a nice look. Shockingly different then some of the graphics that Baker was correctly called out for.

I started the pandemic with 10 decks on reserve. Today I was down to 4. I like Lotties and what they do for the kids that live near the shop, so I got a hat, 52mm F4 classics, and an 8.1 Anti Hero from there. Kingswell is my actual local shop and where I usually buy my boards. I couldn’t not go there and grab a board as well, so I got an 8.1 Polar. I hope everyone is shopping at their local shops as much as they can right now

I haven’t gone to work in 3 months, so I’ve skated almost everyday. I’m out skating 2-5 hours a day usually. I tend to skate a new board every two-two and a half weeks. They either break, or wear down and feel dead in that time. One board broke within the first half hour skating it, and within the past week another lasted just 3 days before the tail cracked

No shame on riding and enjoying your boards. Just don't be like me and have more boards you can finish riding.

Watching his videos helped get me back into skateboarding after focusing on other sports for 10 years. It's one thing to see the gnarliest shit go down in video parts but it was more inspiring to see someone more relatable deal with trying to progress in his 30s and gear madness.

They are getting blanks from other woodshops soon, hopefully that means we will get to try some less main stream ones in the near future.

I haven’t gone to work in 3 months, so I’ve skated almost everyday. I’m out skating 2-5 hours a day usually. I tend to skate a new board every two-two and a half weeks. They either break, or wear down and feel dead in that time. One board broke within the first half hour skating it, and within the past week another lasted just 3 days before the tail cracked

Name and shame.

No shame on riding and enjoying your boards. Just don't be like me and have more boards you can finish riding.

Boards from US woodshops were in short supply in Asia, plus I really wanted to try some WKND decks.

2 WKND decks
1 Ambush shop deck - space biscuits, love their graphics
2 Generator Blanks 8.125 from Canada Skate Shop - took 6 weeks to cross the border

That's cool your buying from Canada Skate Shop. Gnared

Watching his videos helped get me back into skateboarding after focusing on other sports for 10 years. It's one thing to see the gnarliest shit go down in video parts but it was more inspiring to see someone more relatable deal with trying to progress in his 30s and gear madness.

They are getting blanks from other woodshops soon, hopefully that means we will get to try some less main stream ones in the near future.

Ambush was my local as a kid. They had a ludicrously large shop(for all board sports) before they closed and went online. Always weird to see their boards show up.

I started the pandemic with 10 decks on reserve. Today I was down to 4. I like Lotties and what they do for the kids that live near the shop, so I got a hat, 52mm F4 classics, and an 8.1 Anti Hero from there. Kingswell is my actual local shop and where I usually buy my boards. I couldn’t not go there and grab a board as well, so I got an 8.1 Polar. I hope everyone is shopping at their local shops as much as they can right now

Sick, I'm down to support the shop I grew up with but their stock is really limited and old, even before COVID hit. They only carry Powell pro boards and Mini Logo boards.

This is my 2nd board from them, first one being the Wade Boggs Challenge deck. It's listed as an 8" feels more like 8.25", it's a wall hanger so no biggie there. Top notch customer service.

Library skate shop out of Mass is the kitties titties.
DOA 8.1
Jessup
50mm classics

Damon is a good dude..one of those guys who I've never met but I can pretty much guarantee I'd feel at home the second I walked into the shop. He's never too busy to measure something, answer a stupid question or even just shoot the shit and since he was a librarian he's pretty well read (obviously) and sharp. He's even tried to track down a particular stain/size combo on a deck for me.

That white DOA square is one of my favorite decks from the last few releases. I have it in 8.38 and the black ACG one in 8.25. Even though it's the same mold as the standard, for whatever reason I'm able to handle the steep tail a lot more easily. It still wears me out but I ghost pop much less on the squares.

Seems like PS is backed up from covid delays so Scumco had Pennswood whip up some old graphics on some of the crazy stains. The first batch sold out in 2 hours and the second was gone in under an hour. I had to go through a shop and thus pay retail price, but it was a newer local shop so I don't mind. Truth be told the print quality isn't great on the Abair deck, it seems like the registration was a little off so it's blurry up close but the stain is really nice.

KT deck is 8.38 and Abair is 8.5, both 14" wb silver spoon concave. Not sure if I'm going to skate either of them yet or just keep for the scumcollection.

Both look great. Any idea why scumco isn't with pennswood for every release now? Was caught of guard when they moved to PS.

That KT decks is sick!
Heard Pennswood isn't great about meeting deadlines. Right now seems like all of the woodshops are backed up due to Covid.

Thats sick. I'm skating that Abair right now, although its on a natural-ish stain so probably just the original one. 8.38, 14.25 wb. Good board but after skating so many bbs/generator boards in a row its just a bit different. Bought another scumco, one that looks like it has a crazier stain, should be a good time.

Been eyeing getting this as a wall hanger during lockdown and got it as a birthday treat to myself. It's tiny at 7.5 x 31, I placed it next to an 8.0 and it looks and feels like a toothpick. Still trips me out that I used to ride only 7.5 boards for a decade. 8.125 is my limit, can't handle wider boards and bigger trucks.
Got myself a Polar deck as well, see if it lives up to the hype.

I'm in Asia where data piracy laws are less tightly enforced. Bought this video off our local shop who was downloading and selling burnt copies in the store. You can Alex Carolino and Flo Marfaign riding Seek boards which had the weirdest team (Dyrdek, McKay, Kalis, Stevie Williams briefly, Mikey Taylor, Carolino, Margaign, Greg Myers) but most of the team made it onto AWS / Habitat.

rothdigga sent me a pair way back when in my tts size and they were too big so i recommend going a half size down. Also, there’s two verions; one that is made out of a harder type of rubber and one that is synth suede. The rubber-ish ones seemed super stiff to me so I got the suede ones:

Also rothdigga might need to chime in but the other version had flat insoles whereas these have arch support.

Thanks man! Bought the board on a whim - might have to be a wall hanger because the taper is so extreme.

8.8 over the front truck and 8.0 over the back.  Not even sure what trucks I'd run.

Bought these two Habitats recently. I probably won't skate the Twin Peaks board, it'll go to the collection. But it's enticing; it's got a small wheelbase and a squarish nose/tail. Probably better off saving it, though.

I'm excited to skate the Janoski board, it's got the dims I'm getting comfortable with (8 x 31.5 x 14). Also never skated an AWS/Habitat board before.

That was my plan at first - to throw my ace 55's on it. I was looking around for a new deck for my 55's when I bought it. I figured it tapered down to 8.375 at a glance.

I think I'll end up putting my 44's on it. Unfortunately that'll have to be once I'm done my current deck.

The 14" wheelbase is definitely attractive.

I bought this back in April. It took forever to show up, because they ran out of stock because of because of covid. It also slowed their production and shipping. I came over a week ago, but bad weather kept me from putting it together.     It's still not done, it has atleast 100 screws left, but a rain storm came out of nowhere. I know 2 skaters that got Covid one is asymptomatic, one isn't. I plan on avoiding heavy sessions again, I was getting comfortable admittedly.

I underestimated how small 3ft would, I don't think I ever skated a mini so small. It feels weird, but I did do a blunt on it and that's a rarity for me.

Bought these two Habitats recently. I probably won't skate the Twin Peaks board, it'll go to the collection. But it's enticing; it's got a small wheelbase and a squarish nose/tail. Probably better off saving it, though.

I'm excited to skate the Janoski board, it's got the dims I'm getting comfortable with (8 x 31.5 x 14). Also never skated an AWS/Habitat board before.
Sick, what is the concave like? I've been wanting to try em but I'm hoping the concave isn't mellow.

I bought this back in April. It took forever to show up, because they ran out of stock because of because of covid. It also slowed their production and shipping. I came over a week ago, but bad weather kept me from putting it together.     It's still not done, it has atleast 100 screws left, but a rain storm came out of nowhere. I know 2 skaters that got Covid one is asymptomatic, one isn't. I plan on avoiding heavy sessions again, I was getting comfortable admittedly.

I underestimated how small 3ft would, I don't think I ever skated a mini so small. It feels weird, but I did do a blunt on it and that's a rarity for me.

Jealous of that, it'd be super fun to just have that in your backyard to play on, get them mini skills up.

How much did it cost you?

Here's a photo of the Janoski, the tail is on the left. Doesn't feel overly mellow to me but it's subjective:

Tom says he skates then with 55s. Seeing it grabs my attention more. It’s a neat looking board with a 14” WB.
[close]

That was my plan at first - to throw my ace 55's on it. I was looking around for a new deck for my 55's when I bought it. I figured it tapered down to 8.375 at a glance.

I think I'll end up putting my 44's on it. Unfortunately that'll have to be once I'm done my current deck.

The 14" wheelbase is definitely attractive.
[close]
Let us know how it skates!

Posted in the setup thread. I hit up Tom on IG (like a man) and he said he likes 44's on it. So I did the same.

It's pretty fun. 14 Feels a bit cramped imo. Surprised to find that I think I prefer a 14.25 wheelbase.

100% plan on putting a 55 on the front eventually.

First pair of NB. Feel really nice from just walking around the house. Will be a big change from the halfcabs I'm wearing but I'm looking forward to skating them.

8.38 Traffic deck looks really nice too. Big nose and a full shape w a medium concave.

They feel really stiff out the box so I'm glad they break in nice. The white with gum is so classic.

Not sure if I'm going to skate this or keep it for the wall because it has to be one of the coolest looking decks I've seen in a long time. My shitty phone camera and dungeon lighting can't do it justice but the color is lush, vibrant, and fits perfectly with the comic book aesthetic. The whole series is awesome but this is the pick of the litter for me.

Stoked I got one in my size because they sold out super fast. Hopefully terror kept some of them back or has another order on the way so people outside of the ten or so shops that got em have a chance to get one.

This is pretty cool, it shows the process the guy who made them uses. They're extremely well made collages of very cool art. I always think it's cool when people use pre-digital age techniques, it's a lot of work and I think it imparts a certain honesty that translates to the finished product.

I kind of want to try and put the full set together now but I don't want to hoard them since it seems like a pretty limited run, at least thus far. If they end up doing a bigger release then I probably will. I'm kind of kicking myself for not grabbing another of the Getz decks at oneup when I got the Maldonado (so I could hang one and skate one) but at the time I didn't realize they were only going out to select shops. I might run down there later and see if they still have any of the other ones because some have really sick metallic ink work, especially the Huber one.

Yeah for sure I will. I posted the Maldonado one in the Setup thread last week. I'll probably head down soon if I'm going to go because it's on Carson st and after like 3pm the bums and street kids come out and you can't go a full block without someone trying to hustle you. 60 year old dudes with pissed pants who can barely walk will be like "hey dude! I skate too! can I talk to you for a minute?" and I have to be all like "please go away SneakySecrets." It's rough.

The shop was bumpin'... I guess because they're moving to a new location and soft goods are half off and they just got their NHS order so all the local klansmen stopped in to grab some fresh indys for the 4th of July cross burning party. Anyways they didn't have the one I really wanted (Mathis) so it was either this 8.25 or 8.5 Huber and I wanted something I could skate.

I remember this bum I ran into was showing me his new board (actually used, probably stolen) and was super amped; he wanted to play me in a game of skate but I brushed him off and told him I had to be somewhere.

I still feel bad about that.

If you want one the always wonderful Corner store still has a couple up for grabs. If you're lucky he'll toss in one of his fantastic shop stickers, which I won't post here so as to not ruin the surprise if you get one.

Damn, ordered some wheels off Depop. Can we get a thread of core shops with sites. That way we can support while not being local?

There was one in this section a few months back with a lot of shops listed. If you go back a few pages I'd imagine you'll find it. I'm on my phone right now but if no one else links it or you can't find it then shoot me a PM later and I'll find it for you.

Palace 8.3
Adidas Copa nationale
Willie

The deck is perfect, short wheelbase and kinda flat but I'm gonna hang it on the wall until I need it
Adidas fit tighter than I thought, but they have some arch support which is nice

Bought a couple of boards.

The Polar Dane 1 is a back-up, it's my preferred cruiser shape.

The Quasi Proto II is next in line for my regular board, i love the 8.25 proto, so the 8.5 equvalent should be cool.

The Krooked Bobby board is a twin tail, not shure if i will skate it, might be a wall hanger.
I don't skate a lot of switch, so i can't see the point.
I bought it because the graphic rules, i wasn't aware that i wasn't a regular popsicle.

Maybe little, but not that radical taper. More like a regular popsicle with little bit tapered kicks.

i just made the switch from 101a 53mm spitfire classics to these exact conicals. They're my first set of conicals and so far I don't love them. They seem very clunk to me and were getting caught on every little pebble I went over on a pretty smooth surface. I am going to keep riding them and trying them out. I don't want to dismiss them just yet, but so far, I miss my classics.

The riding surface on tablets in most sizes are just smaller than conical full, on 54mm they’re equal (til you start wearing em down). On a 53mm the tablet has 21mm riding surface, C-full has 21.5mm.

Those were the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. But every foot is different I guess.

HAHAAAA i just skated mine for the first time yesterday and i think totally opposite- very comfortable for me, fit great even though i felt like i might get heel slip before even skating em but didn't happen!
Very cool balance of board feel in the toe and the sole being really sturdy towards further back!
and i liked the flick too, came very natural for me.

I love mine.  I keep waiting for another all suede version to drop.  Scared to get all leathers and have the flick feel be drastically different.

i have those white leathers with the blue stripes on deck, skating an all suede version now. Usually leather feels different only if it is a sturdier type but the white leather on the tyshawns feels soft and quality, so it should not trouble you too much

Got a 8.25 scumco because I liked the graphic/woodstain. Same length as I usually skate ~32, but the wb is 14 whereas I usually skate a 14.25 wb.

I'm pretty tall and the last time I skated a 14 inch wb was a few years ago and it felt a bit too unstable. Though that was on aces and now I'm on ventures with forged baseplates so looking forward to seeing how it works out.

I set it up and tried it out tonight, wheelbase is wayyyy too short. Couldn't get used to the pop feel either. Thought it would help me learn some flatground and tech tricks, but even if I do get used to it its not the dimension I'd wanna stick with. Damn.

Way too light and tippy? I rode a Primitive 8.25 x 31.8 x 14 and the pop feel was way too light even with Venture 5.8 Titanium, only slightly better with 5.8 standards.

Yeah light and tippy for sure, but more so just unstable, feel like I have to be very careful when landing 180 tricks at any reasonable speed to not slip out. I have v-lights so forged plates and solid hangers. Certain flip tricks worked well if I put in less effort, but its not like I pop and jump really hard on my usual setups anyway. The only thing that was noticeably better was switch heels which I rarely do.

I think it would be fine for most grinds and slides but even so I doubt it would be enough of a benefit if at all to justify the decrease in stability from the decreased wheelbase.

Would probably be fine if I was a shorter guy, I can get adjust and get used to the pop feel if I really want to, it would just be a matter of time. But the stability simply isn't there no matter how much the trucks push the wheelbase out. I should probably just stick to 14.2~3ish which is my sweet spot on these ventures.

I have a primitive 8.38 on ice which has a 14.19ish wb, feels like an 8.5 standing on it. I think that one will be a lot more reasonable but definitely wouldn't wanna go shorter than that.

For me the 14" wb works much better on shorter boards. I have one ScumCo deck that is on a short shape I've never seen anywhere else and it's one of my favorite boards ever. It's 8.5 x 31.4 with wide/blunt shaped nose and tail and medium concave. On the normal ones that are 31.8-32 it just feels a little off to me. I think if pwood pushed their standard wb out to 14.25 it would feel more "balanced" if that makes any sense.

 If you want to skate a Pennswood deck that's more in line with what you normally ride let me know. I have a corner store shop deck thats 8.38 x 32.25 14.25 wb...its 8.38 in the middle but tapers to 8.25 at the truck holes on both ends. I wanna say it's either a deep silver spoon or kiddie pool, so medium concave. Only skated it a couple times on flat, so it's in good shape. Shoot me a pm if you're interested.


Also if that primitive feels like an 8.5 then I'd measure it. I've had multiple decks come listed as one thing and be a totally different one - 8.38 foundation that measures almost 8.6, 8.25 theories that measures 8.38 etc. If it's egregious enough they might even send you a new one - blood wizard did that for me which I thought was super cool.

I’ve seen a lot of info on here about Footprint but not Remind, so I ordered a pair of Remind insoles just to try them out. I have flat feet, like amorphous blob flat so I went with the Destin insoles. They are pretty wide so for some shoes you will have to trim the width. I wear 11 so I ordered the 11-11.5 size and they were the perfect length for an 11 shoe. Went out to skate and expected an adjustment period but they felt at home right away. It’s been less than 24 hours so time will tell but so far I’d say they’re worth it.

32.25 is a little on the longer side for me but otherwise that sounds interesting. Yeah I can see the 14in wb working with shorter kicks but at that point it would be wayyyy too short for me, I'm 6 5 and feel like I can only down size so much before it gets ridiculous. The primitive is pretty bang on 8.38, but is pretty flat and for some reason feels bigger than the last two 8.38s I had. Weird but should be no problem at all.

Its only $100 but I picked all the shit myself, its a darkstar with royal trucks, pig bearings, bones wheels and shake junt hardware.

will post pictures when im done panic buying. tis is new to me, hoarding skate gear. i worry about shit like the wood drying out or getting brittle and also feel guilty for spending money on stuff over a certain amount but the time i spend skating will benefit me for a lifetime so i feel it's worth it.

so far i have:
2 pairs of janoskis
2 sets of boardycakes wheels (princess cut and fat bundts)
1 shitty defective set of spitfire tablets ( still waiting on the replacements to arrive)
a back up set of bones super reds
2 baker reynolds 838s
another neen willaims 838 on the way. it has a sick green stain, fresh wood dropped today!
some grip
extra hardware
a set of fresh thunder 148s

and i feel i need more because the stuff im seeing has me extremely worried as it pertains to the current state of things and all i can think about is making music and skating, i don't know why.

GX 8.125" - this might be my favorite shape I've ever skated
FA 8.18" - really good shape as well , riding exact same board right now

Venture Lo 5.2 , I do have a pair of ACE 33's but they are just too high for me. I'm riding with 51MM tablets right now and really like the set up . I had some 53MM Conical that felt really good too but recently switched them onto the setup with Aces. I think 51MM Conical would be my ideal wheel with those trucks on the 8.125"

not a purchase but i traded some stuff to my buddy for a set of venture 5.2 his. on an 8.25 rn but i wanna size down to an 8.125 next board. interested in that gx shape too. i was looking at a habitat with the same dims, and theres another one with an 14.25 wb also? I might be more into that.

edit: kinda wish i had lows or at least a forged baseplate but i might just get smaller wheels

awake. Hell yeah I have 5.6 but they seem a little too beastly paired with 54mm on an 8.125. I have the same quasi/gx shape it’s so damn good. Love a board at 31.5 length. Maybe I will try 5.2 with a forged plate and 51mm conicals

Finally pulled the trigger on a set of V3 in 52mm. Would have like them in 99a but I was getting lots of chips on my V2 Easy Streets.

Damn, got mine in my regular size. They’re in my state but, the mail has been ridiculously slow recently. I feel bad for USPS workers.

Tempted to pandemic-panic purchase an FA board.

Gave in and picked up the Sage 8.38 and the Sage Hardy’s Hardware. Wanted a Hopps 8.38 but, couldn’t find one and don’t know how big the WB is. May toss the Indys I got from Daddies or throw on my old Ventures.

Venture 5.6 V-hollow and 97 duro deluxe Supercush bushings.  I used to skate ventures exclusively as a kid, but have been on Indy's most recently.  Nostalgia and curiosity got the better of me.  I typically ride steep kicks with an 14.25 wheelbase, and am excited to see if I can handle the steep decks with the stretched out ventures, or if I will need a mellower kick to manage them.  Anyone on here have good experience with Ventures on steeper boards (e.g., South Central wood, Dwindle or NHS?)

I run Venture V-Light 5.8's on an 8.3/14.25 DOA (South Central) square shape.  They handle great with the steep kicks.  It is my favorite setup right now.

Scooped up a pair of Thunder 147 Team Standard and Team Hollow for $43, basically new and it came with a Bones Medium bushing included. Sold 4 pairs of trucks in the past week but these were too pretty to pass up, the Team Hollow especially with the yellow and black color combination.

8.375 x 31.83 x 14.25WB x 6.48T x 6.9N

Pretty fucking tapered for an 8.3, has the B16/GO16 vibes for sure, short and fat. Kicks are steep and concave is medium deep feeling.

It's also really light feeling. No special anything/gimmicks but it feels thin and is lighter than anything on hand (even the Primitive 8.3 and their boards are the lightest of them all)..yeah I used a scale...all my other 8.3s are around 1350g-1400g+ this one is around 1200 (all with grip).

Throwing on some Ti144s...jury is out on wheels choice until the Indys show up.

It looks waay pointier in the pic for some reason - but it is pointy, something I don't usually go for but my logic is I can ride a fatty and not have it be heavy and full and clunky with a full/square tip.

Also, it's visually (and feels) thinner than any deck I've on hand, even other dwindle board. It's also stiff af.

Pointy boards do feel smaller. I’m sure it’s with how it tapers and stuff. It will flip easier. I think Ben Degros has a video on the difference between square and pointy.

I've just never been a pointy kick fan, I'm forcing myself to do it (last pointy board I rode was an 8.3 Organica...).

Do it! Get the SC!

Purchased those green Sk8-Los and some Vans for my mom. She’s surprisingly become a fan of them.

Sorry, but how the fuck can people skate pointy noses and tails?? Tails with a slight taper aren't bad in my opinion. (Primitive and Polar have nice tail/nose combo in my opinion)

I feel like I get the worst flick on them, there's no room to put my foot when actually grinding/sliding, and they just look awkward to me. That said, FA and WKND are the opposite extreme that seem great but are way too stubby/blunt haha however I'm scared I might like an FA if i try one lol

For me, pointy has better flick and better scoop. Doesn't mess me up on nose slides, either. I think square/full kicks look horrible, like they're pre razored almost. It's just preference.

I can see the scoop point! I'm on an AWS that has a stubbier tail than I'm used to and I had to spend time finding the scoop again for 360 flips, but they work great now. However, I noticed on my Polar and Primitive decks with a more tapered tail, 360 flips were more responsive with that scoop than the AWS initially. You're definitely right about preference but my knee jerk reaction to seeing pointy boards just screams "get that away from me, it's not visually pleasing and won't skate well" funny enough a recent Real I had was fairly pointy/popsicle like and I just couldn't skate it well, so I hooked someone else up.

feel like the big squarish boards become a little too squared after 8.25" the FA/Hockey 8.18" shape is squared but still skinny enough that it doesn't feel blockish.

Definitely prefer a slightly pointier kick for flicking off of, scooping and most flip tricks. Square kicks just don't feel as right even though I can do all my flip tricks on them fine. But the difference in sitting on a nose/tailslide is so substantial for me that I will always prefer a fuller kick to a tapered one.

Yo that snack board looks bugged out. I will always regret not buying their hypnotized minds graphic. Thanks for the reminder with these dudes, still PS, I’ll look for em in the future.

I’m not really a fan of square boards. I like the old baker shapes, old old girl/choco shapes. Pointy just seems crisp and light, whereas square boards feel bloated. Maybe if I tried a really square board, but it was 7.75 or some shit I’d like it, but some square 8.78 with floppy loose trucks ridden by some tail skidder....always looks trash

LOL I had a twin nose PS Stix AWS that had two shoveled ends like that Snack board. As much as I pretended to like it, and hyped it up on here, it was fucking awful as my main setup. I was glad when it broke after 3 sessions. Squared boards can work if they’re a cruiser style shape. It’s weird when it’s done as a popsicle

First non-DOA I've bought in over a year. Both 8.25. The standard mellow Baker shape has always caught my eye, I really don't like their logo boards but can't be choosy now.  It's got a nice purple top ply which is my favorite.

Damn, got mine in my regular size. They’re in my state but, the mail has been ridiculously slow recently. I feel bad for USPS workers.
Had them on my regular size and they were good but those are by far the worst purchase I've made in years. For some reason after skating then just a little I got a huge lower back pain.
Topic wise I'm waiting for some all brown 533 v2, stoked to have them since is almost impossible to get NB# in here.

As I was driving home yesterday I remember looking over and being surprised by how similar the concave/kicks were as the two sat stacked on top of each other in the passenger seat. I expected the Politic to be steeper, just based on previous experience with South Central. Take all that with a grain of salt as it's just a passing thought I had driving down the interstate.  I'll do a proper comparison and try to get a picture this evening.

@Buttfart Rapedick that thing is traumatizing.
@Ok i had a 7.875 Habitat a few years ago that was a square PS and that was the exception to the rule. That was a great board and I learned a bunch of tricks on it that I didn't think would happen in my early/mid-30s.
@tom in all the pics online that board looked pointy, but when you posted it I was so glad I didn't bite.

Anyway, got a stack of 8.06 eagles, 50mm bigheads, 50mm f4 classics, and a new pair of busenitz. Feeling blessed.

I think politic mostly uses a standard SC mold so most likely deepish concave and steep tail. They do sometimes use the E mold (DOA flat as fuck) and apparently have a deep and steep square shape too, but I've never seen one in person. It's been a minute since I measured one but as I recall the 8" was the same as the 8.12 and 8.25, so 31.75" with a 14.25" wb. Damon from library skate shop is one of the politic dudes and quite skate nerdy, so shoot him an email and I'm sure he can answer your questions. Also buy stuff from him because his shop is great.

This is my third snack, the other two have been good but just not quite right for me. The first one was an 8.12 thats a normal popsicle shape (https://i.imgur.com/EnpTnkW.jpg) and pretty mellow. It's good but I was kinda bummed on smaller decks until recently so I haven't skated it a ton. The other is an 8.38 that's also a more traditional popsicle but with steep kicks which I struggle with. I really like it for about 5 minutes then I ghost pop a lot.

This one is way more my style. For whatever reason I'm much more comfortable on steep kicks when they're squared and I feel wide square noses help me get more power on my flick. It's definitely harder to scoop though, so a moderately squared tail is my preference. I'm pretty excited about this one but I sprained my ankle over the weekend so I'm going to have to wait a while to try it.

Sorry, but how the fuck can people skate pointy noses and tails?? Tails with a slight taper aren't bad in my opinion. (Primitive and Polar have nice tail/nose combo in my opinion)

I feel like I get the worst flick on them, there's no room to put my foot when actually grinding/sliding, and they just look awkward to me. That said, FA and WKND are the opposite extreme that seem great but are way too stubby/blunt haha however I'm scared I might like an FA if i try one lol
[close]

For me, pointy has better flick and better scoop. Doesn't mess me up on nose slides, either. I think square/full kicks look horrible, like they're pre razored almost. It's just preference.
[close]
I can see the scoop point! I'm on an AWS that has a stubbier tail than I'm used to and I had to spend time finding the scoop again for 360 flips, but they work great now. However, I noticed on my Polar and Primitive decks with a more tapered tail, 360 flips were more responsive with that scoop than the AWS initially. You're definitely right about preference but my knee jerk reaction to seeing pointy boards just screams "get that away from me, it's not visually pleasing and won't skate well" funny enough a recent Real I had was fairly pointy/popsicle like and I just couldn't skate it well, so I hooked someone else up.

Oh for sure. I bug out over square/full boards...they could be perfect in every other way but something about them just fucks with me. I recently had a Hockey that I ended up giving away after 1 session.

Yo that snack board looks bugged out. I will always regret not buying their hypnotized minds graphic. Thanks for the reminder with these dudes, still PS, I’ll look for em in the future.

I’m not really a fan of square boards. I like the old baker shapes, old old girl/choco shapes. Pointy just seems crisp and light, whereas square boards feel bloated. Maybe if I tried a really square board, but it was 7.75 or some shit I’d like it, but some square 8.78 with floppy loose trucks ridden by some tail skidder....always looks trash

LOL I had a twin nose PS Stix AWS that had two shoveled ends like that Snack board. As much as I pretended to like it, and hyped it up on here, it was fucking awful as my main setup. I was glad when it broke after 3 sessions. Squared boards can work if they’re a cruiser style shape. It’s weird when it’s done as a popsicle
[close]

@Buttfart Rapedick that thing is traumatizing.
@Ok i had a 7.875 Habitat a few years ago that was a square PS and that was the exception to the rule. That was a great board and I learned a bunch of tricks on it that I didn't think would happen in my early/mid-30s.
@tom in all the pics online that board looked pointy, but when you posted it I was so glad I didn't bite.

Anyway, got a stack of 8.06 eagles, 50mm bigheads, 50mm f4 classics, and a new pair of busenitz. Feeling blessed.

7.9s are the shit. A square 7.75ish board would be an instant buy.
Interested to see what your opinion is on re bigheads vs f4 classics.

It's not as square but the WKND Sablone boards are like a "full shape" 7.75..

(https://res.cloudinary.com/dm1ikhi6x/image/upload/ar_1,c_pad/w_788,c_limit/q_auto,f_auto/products/l37p3njmcqn6ezycfztn)

I wish more companies used that square PS tooling for smaller sizes. I used to skate those and they were amazing but a little tricky to get in 7.875 or 8 now. I remember when FA first came out, the Dill board had that shape and 31.25" long.. The shape looks amazing and fun but I never skated it as I knew I'd regret it.

For whatever reason when I've looked at 8" wknd decks in the shop even the "square" ones seem pointier to me. I wish they would go back to the old mold/dimensions, especially for the 8.25. I emailed them about it a few months back and they said they haven't actually changed molds and attributed the change to PS resurfacing the mold but I don't think that's totally correct. The nose is totally different on the new ones, it's a little bit shorter and nowhere near as steep. I still like them a lot, but the switch from 31.5 to 31.75 and different nose has taken them out of the "must buy" category for me.

That's why I'm pretty stoked about this Snack - although it's still a bit longer than I would prefer and it's not the same size/shape nose it still reminds me of the old WKNDs when I look down at it. I'm curious if the newer square nosed Snack models are the same shape. All the ones my local shop had have been the round nose but the dimensions they have listed are the same as this one so maybe they're still making these.

Bought a janky second hand setup with Destruco Bam Glow in the Dark Truck, Hook Up wheels that were so old they were orange and cracking and bearing that wouldn't spin, just so I could get my hands on this Rob Welsh board:

Not the best condition but I love the guys skating, first magazine I ever had was a Thrasher with him as the main interview just around the time Ride or Dye came out. The grip was a pain to peel off but I'm happy to get this one added to my collection.

Just dropped hammer on my first set of hollow trucks since g&s made trucks in the 80s.

Set of 5. 6 hollows.
 I am stockpiling black beans pasta and trucks.
 
And I forget to get wheels but That's ok.

No one in Boston but maybe me is going to ride a 56mm GREY radial. Too bad they ain't 101s and 58mm then I'd say set in stone they will be mine there next board order if I can't score a natural 101a 55 Connie's or better yet the silver classics.

I got to be 54 to 58. It's important

I like neck hands styles in real life. He's got like a spooky almost Rock Bottom style.

The Character and Chains are fresh

Those neck graphics should sell the swirls for sure.
 
Maybe I'll get lucky no one will want a big hard wheel.

Got an AH 8.28. I'm not going to lie I'm shook about changing shapes.

I missed all the FL drop.
When I saw the graphics I was like yep. I'm definitely going to miss that.

I just hope future drops will be closer to like the 1st of the month. Maybe like the 5th just in case.

I got a couple rolls of mogwai grip.

One will be for immediate illustration.

I'm thinking about making a serious effort this time that has no land marks.

I got to break superstitious behaviors. I usually don't mark my grip till my board speaks to me.

After I went to Roachdales today it said hey ass flea you feeling down?
See that spot?

Now add a heel flip to that nollie shuv you stupid bitch. Boom I got the nollie shuv heels back. Check off another not since 02 trick.


I got a sick cellar door pin. I'm really lit on that.

That's going to be a rare combo. TOA pin on vest with a 600+ stud count. I should use cellar door samples in my next noise thingy.
 
I love it when People notice important non music shit on my stuff.
That's a great way to find skate buds.

I hope someone is like nice pin. Want to go bang on cellar doors?

Lemme get my mask and a dictaphone. Let's fucking go make some noise.

I feel like they (WKND) must have changed them unless PS changed all the molds/tooling super recently, I think this Habitat series is from last fall/winter and they were all pretty square, this one is an 8.125:

i skated only habitat and workshop a couple years ago, when they all were made at PS, still i felt like the molds changed a bit over time. usually i had 8,125 with some like 14 maybe 14,25 wheelbase at 31,78 long, when they switched to BBS they were the same but 32 long with sometime a longer wheelbase (like 14,5 on a yeje pro model wich mighta been his dimensions?), right now alien and habitat are perfect to me, back so the old shape and size, wood feeling great, rode a bbs and PS made one back to back, same shape no difference!

i do not know exactly what i wanna say about weekend boards really, but feel like some brands use some different shapes/ molds some seasons due to whatever reason really?

also remember FA and hockey going from one season flat as fuck to steep as all fuck with the next, still being produced by the same woodshop.....

Finding out it was Pendleton, I immediately was down with it!
Graphics and shapes look so appealing to me! Reminds me of 2000s AWS but still unique in this current board graphic climate. Funny enough, Primitive had a run with Pendleton and they were some of my favorite graphics from them, but that's not saying much about Primitive since they've had plenty of hits and misses.

I already had a couple of these gradient stain decks, but was keeping them as wall boards so I decided to snag one to actually skate this time.

Do they still make the kiddie pool and deep dishes? I remember somebody posted pics of their deep dish years ago and it was unlike any other board I’ve seen.

The run on ps didn’t do it but I assume the current pennswpod run does. Deep dish was wild

some oj mini super juices and ooh baby I'm liking them so far. fast as hell, smooth as fuck, but small enough to do fun shit with. I live in a crusty ass area so these are necessary for cruisin and hitten shit up. had spitfire speed charges before, as I've always been a spitfire guy. still will swear by the formula fours for decent spots/parks, but for hitting up my crusty ass streets these ojs mini super juices are incredible.

They are super fun to skate, especially the mini which makes tricks that much easier!

Damn those are some interesting dimensions, wider but not too long in length and WB. Is this shape unique to AH? I haven't seen any Real boards with these dims.

As long as you're ok with covering the cost/shipping then PM me and I can probably make that happen. They had a lot of 8 and 8.5 left when I went, a smaller amount of 8.25 and only one or two 8.38. Fair warning though, I don't know if its just this one but its a lot nicer to look at then skate. I'm wondering if the copious amounts of stain did something weird to the wood because its pretty heavy and soft feeling. I've got a fucked ankle so I can't really give it a fair shake yet, but just fucking around with it it's not popping so great.

This batch has silver spoon and deep dish. They're on random old graphics so you'd have to go pick one out in person or have someone who can do it for you. Deep dish is pretty ridiculous, I've got an older one (when they did 31.5" ones) that I very rarely pull out because its so hard to skate with old legs. Aside from how deep they are, both of the kicks are mega steep which is what fucks me up more than anything. Timing is always way off and by the time I get it down my legs are shot, but if I was still 16 I'd probably love it.

If you want something with a deep ass concave but slightly less intense tail then the south central standard is a good choice. I'm going to take this opportunity to segue into my daily DOA shill post - if you want a SC standard with a sick graphic then check out DOA (or politic, or northern co). The last batch flew out the door as soon as they came in but I know a couple shops that still have them if you're interested.

I've seen him on some other stuff like classic eagles but yeah he seems to mostly ride that shape. I definitely recall seeing him on two Kanfoush decks on it (the yellow lance mountain and the orange shit canned one) and the orange Grimple team one. It's probably my favorite DLX shape, not sure what it is but it seems like all the dimensions just work which isn't always the case with me and and dlx stuff.

I've always got one in the lineup, in fact the setup I've had for the last few months is exactly what BFTR bought - 5.6 v-hollows and yellow stained pumping feathers graphic (although I'm using jessup ultra and 53mm jivaro wheels). That shape is actually what "unlocked" ventures for me... I never really loved them until I tried them on that shape. It's actually quite different from what I usually like (mellow tails, big square noses, 14.25 wb) but something about it just resonates with me.

I always thought i didnt matter what graphics you saw a pro riding cause they can get it printed on any size. I always see sponsored people with graphics that I know are sold on a smaller model to the masses.

That is true to an extent, they can definitely request custom shapes/sizes and occasionally you'll see "rider stock" boards hit the open market (there was a batch of madness/Darkstar ones that came out around Christmas) but I think a lot of guys just ride off the shelf shapes.

In this case though it would be a pretty amazing coincidence that the majority of the graphics he rides just happen to be the ones released on the 8.28 x 31.7 (and that that's what his first board was) if he were riding another shape. Also I think he was riding that grimple board right after he left element and wasnt on real yet (think I first noticed it at Copenhagen last year), so I doubt DLX would be making him customs at that point.

So basically you're not wrong, but I think in this specific situation it's a pretty safe assumption to make.

There's about 8-10 different stain options in that dimension too.  It's bad, I want them all

new isle 8.5. Was curious if it still would have a generator sticker with the wood supply issues going on, but sure enough it was there. Best quality decks, feels so crisp.

I’m setting this board up next! Mine has a green stain though and I’m using 5.6 standards. Im
So stoked about the dimensions.

I think the jalopi Archemides deck with a toilet paper roll had same dimensions and it was my favorite deck

This board is nice. I was skating flat earlier. So nice with the hollow trucks.

It seems like more and more shops are carrying less and less 8’s as people start skating bigger boards. That leads to someone like me having to get a couple at a time to hold me over and inadvertently having a mini-stack pile up. Support your local skateshop if you can

Decided to try 2 carbon fiber top ply decks off this thread (https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=109411.0) and they finally made it to Asia. A little shorter than I like at 8 x 31.6 x 14 with steep kicks and a medium concave. Kind of bummed it is fully dipped, I like seeing the wood grain. Want to get it tested this weekend but I don't have a lot of time to setup new boards and I hate leaving boards 1/2 skated.
The Autobahn OEM wheels were a pleasant surprise, they are very skinny with a very small riding surface, almost smaller than a V3 at 52mm.

that is an awesome shape, its 8.5 near top bolts, 8.25 near the bottom ones, insanely blunt / square nose. I got a buddy who's been skating them all summer , its a fun shape for sure. I skate 8.125 normally and I could actually 360 flip on it so that was surprising.

I got a set to try and save the rest for homies during Xmas, getting my gift shopping done in August. They were $11 a set so why not.

The dual durometer wheels feel weird, 101a felt great on the slides but the 97a made pop feel bouncy instead of crisp. Gave them to a friend who was riding 99a and he liked them.

Picked this Northern Co deck on Craigslist for $35, basically new with Krux trucks. Really liked the graphic so the grip is coming off and I'm saving this as a wall hanger. It came with Paradise Wheel Co wheels, Matt Rodriguez's company so that's a great addition to the skatehoarder archives.

There is an Element Vallely featherlite complete with GK trucks and darkstar wheels on ebay right now if anyone wants that. Like $80 with shipping.

Couldn’t wait any longer for the 51mm 99a spitfire tablets to drop and scooped a set of 51mm Classics from SPoT. Haven’t had a set of classics in about 20 years. I’m old. Never ordered from SPoT, hope it all works out.

Really old thunders the one that has the tear drop hangers. Sculls and swords plates. Chargers I think they was called.

I'd find some vintage bullets or slime balls in 95 or 97 or I'd use these old bones I still got from back in the day.

Went inside a skateshop for the first time since early March yesterday. The board shortage does not seem to have any impact on my local shop. They had a ton of everything in stock. I bought 2 8.5 quasi boards. One is the all over black dipped guided by voices board, the other is Bobby DeKeyzers first quasi promodel. Not sure which one I'm going to set up first. I haven't skated that boxy shape in a while and I missed it. I also got a butters shirt.


Also sort of new I got one of those keen quarterpipes. It was a little quarterpipe set and it's so fun.

If I could find those Thunders (Blasters), I would do that for sure. I have been wanting to set up a cruiser where I am not going to be tempted to try and do tricks, and this kind of fits the bill. The wheelbase is like 15.5", which is pretty wild, so it is going to be purely for slashing. If I was feeling frisky I might even put a Ba.Ku. bayonet rail on it, but that idea seems gratuitous.

I am going to set it up with Ace 33s (If the USPS ever decides to deliver them, mail in Philly has been like two weeks late), 1/4" risers and might grip some slimeballs to go with it.

So you're the reason shops are out of stock! Sick setup, would have loved to cop one for the wall.

Picking up a Craigslist Blind setup later today, the wheels and trucks are shit but it's a Ronnie Creager deck that I'm after. Always been a fan of his skating. I've got a beat up James Craig deck, would pay good money for a brand new one.

Yea i know, trying to get trendy. Cons felt good but can definitely see insoles packing out. Luckily i have box full of old insoles to try them with when that happens. Went half size down and they fit well on my wide ass feet straight out of box. Always liked really pointy boards but never had board this pointy. Also really enjoied Dwindle wood in the past and was curious about R7.

Sorry to hear about the ankle. So-so experience with my ATG, the Maglights were way too light for me and I couldn't get the lofty pop.

Have you tried pairing Tensors / Ace / Theeve DSM decks and do you feel it helps with the already short WB?

I'm on the verge of buying an entire roll of Jessup griptape.

Just bought 2 pairs of Kalis Vulc, a little snug in a size 9. Got them at 33 a pair on discount, handing 1 pair to a homie.

Just bought this FA Gino "World" board. 8.18 x 31.73
Generally prefer small boards, but I'm going to give this 8"+ thing another try.
Now if only I could figure out if I want to use Indys or Ventures for it, I'd be good.

Buying a roll is usually worth it to save money, unless you get free grip when you buy decks.

It happens...I tweaked it skating and made it worse at the beach (not sure how).

I'm actually eyeing the Theeves/ATGs so I can pull in the WB just a bit more instead of throwing on my thunders (I don't have any other ~8.25" trucks to use)

Anything 32" or over wrecks my ollies; I need short decks and steep tails (I blame H-Street muscle memory - showing age :P - It's all rode until they wet under). I've got pop, without bumps, but apparently (according to a friend) I ollie fast, quick snap / suck up the legs to level out...I skate fast so the snap needs to be fast or I'll clip.

Tippy? Only on 55mm trucks (ATGs /Indy standards); said it before and did side by side today, Theeves are more like a 51/52mm truck.

8.125" and 8.18 theeves has always been my best rides.

Are they good? It's really subjective. Lots of fake Bones Reds, Super Reds, Ceramics and Swiss, but reviews are mixed. @GBLange said the quality difference was definitely noticable. I'm trying some $7 bearings, I mean most of the big brands already source their bearings from China, so it really depends on you find a seller who sources them from a good factory. I don't have my hopes up, but their stuff can surprise you.

Delivery timing is unpredictable, I'm in Asia so stuff takes 1.5-2 weeks, 3 week if I'm unlucky. The estimated times are like 20 - 50 days, so it's anyones guess.

Half Cab Pros and some Berles for about $62 from an outlet.

Berles are gonna be work shoes, I actually like them but I couldn't imagine skating them. Nice and solid for long days on my feet though. I want to skate the Half Cabs but they might be chillers, I'm scared to skate a vulc.

venture 5.2 lo hollows
boardy cakes benchwarmers 99a/48.5mm x 38mm

been pretty good with saving money so i decided to treat myself (while i wait for the venture drought to be over) to $100. going mad scientist on this one.

been switching hangars to see what length is right for me and i found 8.25-8.5 works best for my skating currently. 151s are nice and stable but my flip tricks work better on the smaller hangars. putting them to the side until i get to handrails and bigger shit to see if i still like em.

did the math and in theory, the combo of small truck with the super wide wheel should fit my current deck perfectly. trying learn some more nollie/switch stuff and im hyped to set up something low and wide to do it with

Sick combo. I don't know how loose you skate your stuff but I put some of the 94 dlx (greens) in my 5.2 lo and it slowed the turn a bit and made them bite way less.

Picked up another Prime blank, this one being for a kid I know so I went with the smallest they had. Kinda wish I bought another Handout shape too but nah. Their “mini” would make for a cool ride regardless of who. Really digging their quality.

Insomnio wheels full conical 54x36x23 and 56mm with same dimensions.
Same thing for the Sunrise wheels which are 53 and 54mm
Some ABEC 9 bearings and griptape. Not a fan of graphic griptape but the fruit one is kinda cool + kids dig dumb shit like that cat with weed background.

Do you have a scarcity problem with griptape like I do? I just bought an entire roll of Jessup, after shipping I realized they sell it in pre-cut sheets by the box. And I have another 10 sheets of Mob grip coming too.

i ride loose with my thunders but have to tinker around with the ventures to see where i can get the right balance of stable and loose.

plan to ride ace bottoms with the stock top (or shave them down 1/4 of the bushing) and the riptides from the 151s. didnt think too much about it till now but ill probably need to order a set of ace low bushings if the classics dont fit. i know i didnt buy these trucks for the turn but if i can make it work its icing on the cake.

with the sub 50mm wheels im not expecting much wheelbite once everything is dialed in

Can't speak for the forged plates, but with cast they do turn really well with the harder bushings...way better than people give them credit for. The bushings are the same as the highs, and I know @tzhangdox has had experience running some combo of ace bushings in those.

This is for selling where I live, we don't have a skateshop since is a little 20k people town.
The fruit one is kinda cool, I'll keep one and a set of 54 on ice since finding F4 is a pain in the ass and apparently these ones are decent enough.

Been after some Etnies Marana Mid for ages, they have pretty much dried up in the UK.

I wanted a mid cupsole that has a decent amount of room for FP gamechangers, i love the insoles but they really start to mess with your shoe choices.

In the end I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of the Marana Mids in MTW winterised flavour...hopefully I can keep my DC Maswells going another month until the weather gets colder, then skate the Maranas through our shitty miserable UK winter.

I wanted a mid cupsole that has a decent amount of room for FP gamechangers, i love the insoles but they really start to mess with your shoe choices.

In the end I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of the Marana Mids in MTW winterised flavour...hopefully I can keep my DC Maswells going another month until the weather gets colder, then skate the Maranas through our shitty miserable UK winter.

Supra penny and anmly tempest are good alternatives to the Marana mid.

Got some Bones Medium Bushings.
First lil session in and they're great!
Only thing thats weird is that they're making some sort of clicking noise, but I searched around on here and it seems pretty common in indys and will most likely go away in about a week or sumthn.

venture 5.2 lo hollows
boardy cakes benchwarmers 99a/48.5mm x 38mm

been pretty good with saving money so i decided to treat myself (while i wait for the venture drought to be over) to $100. going mad scientist on this one.

been switching hangars to see what length is right for me and i found 8.25-8.5 works best for my skating currently. 151s are nice and stable but my flip tricks work better on the smaller hangars. putting them to the side until i get to handrails and bigger shit to see if i still like em.

did the math and in theory, the combo of small truck with the super wide wheel should fit my current deck perfectly. trying learn some more nollie/switch stuff and im hyped to set up something low and wide to do it with
[close]

Sick combo. I don't know how loose you skate your stuff but I put some of the 94 dlx (greens) in my 5.2 lo and it slowed the turn a bit and made them bite way less.
[close]
i ride loose with my thunders but have to tinker around with the ventures to see where i can get the right balance of stable and loose.

plan to ride ace bottoms with the stock top (or shave them down 1/4 of the bushing) and the riptides from the 151s. didnt think too much about it till now but ill probably need to order a set of ace low bushings if the classics dont fit. i know i didnt buy these trucks for the turn but if i can make it work its icing on the cake.

with the sub 50mm wheels im not expecting much wheelbite once everything is dialed in
Maybe it's just me and I'm a simple person who likes finding that smooth truck to get that specific flow aqnd feeling what you guy's are talking about is on another level of tweaking out on truck madness. I can't hang.......

On Friday they showed on my doorstep + some socks I ordered from AliExpress.

mid lockdown after not skating for a while i decided to size up a bit to 8.625/56mm wheels, after getting back into skating regularly i realized that was a mistake and sized down to 8.375. was skating some Wayward 56mm wheels which were alright but i had a quick blast of my friends board with STF's and got tempted by something a bit slidier, so went for a set of SPFs.

Was hunting for this one for a while. My local 2nd hand market is small and this similar board was traded a few months ago. I kicked myself for missing out on it since Justin Strubing is one of my many favorite skaters. The original buyer was selling the board so I had to snap it up. It was either this or the Foundation reissue.

Got the 54 mm tears? They got a cool Graff graphic

Scored the alexis cons. Went a half size up because they don't got the 8.5.

Definitely painting those black. I love scratched up black paint on white. Looks killer.

Just ordered a deck & pair of Dickies from 35th Ave.
I have three 8.75" w/ 14.5" decks on ice, but I've seen so few on my size recently that I snagged another shape, in case the COVIDs keep the supply scarce for longer than I expect.
My 2nd purchase of Scram, but I haven't even set up the 1st one yet, so I have know idea how the wood is.
Anybody here put in any time rolling around on of one of them? Thoughts?
Doesn't matter much, it's bought & paid for, so I reckon I'll ride it even if it's garbage wood.

Just got a deck from Taobao (China's Amazon) to try out. It was $30 to see just how shit it would be and it's arriving in 2 weeks.

What is amazing is the promotions they are running with the board sales:
Buy 5 boards - they send you an 8ft flatbar
Buy 10 boards - they send you a kicker ramp
Buy 15 boards - they send you a wooden ledge

Would have gone with the 5 boards but I stay in a tiny apartment with zero storage space.

Just got a deck from Taobao (China's Amazon) to try out. It was $30 to see just how shit it would be and it's arriving in 2 weeks.

What is amazing is the promotions they are running with the board sales:
Buy 5 boards - they send you an 8ft flatbar
Buy 10 boards - they send you a kicker ramp
Buy 15 boards - they send you a wooden ledge

Would have gone with the 5 boards but I stay in a tiny apartment with zero storage space.
[close]

....no space for 5 decks and a flatbar.... do you live in a coffin? any info on the dimensions? shape? concave? top AND bottom ply color?.........also how many boards can you ollie?
[close]

610 sqft apartment in Asia, I got space for the boards but no space for the flatbar, so yeah almost a coffin. Standard BBS dimensions, not sure on the concave etc yet, hence the 1 sample piece.
oh snap, im sorry for prying but whereabouts in asia, doe? is that where you are originally from?

Yea I’ve read and heard that elsewhere as well. I’ve never had any problems with them in the past. In fact I like em a lot.

I know they do have cheaper price points, but thought they were only on their completes you can buy.

Maybe they switch all team decks to something else, with pro models and special runs the good stuff.

Or Covid fucked the supply and they took what they could get? Does that even happen?

Havent set it up yet, I got about 3 more weeks before my arm is healed up enough to skate again, but just doing carpet tricks it feels great. Concave is very mellow but the kicks are still nice and steep. Comparing it to the Hockey 8.5 I was riding, I really appreciate the slightly longer tail and the extra standing room up front. I'll update you when I actually get a chance to ride it.

Yes. They are classic shape. I'm a little worried that they might be needing custom size spacers. The cores look very narrow as is the riding surface.

You can hear a DSM board a mile away, it snaps sounds very hollow and almost like a rattle. Not ridden a DSM board in a while but I would grab an Impact deck if I could get one on discount.

I might be wrong, but a normal sized spacer should work fine on narrow cores, right? If the cores were too wide, the bearings and spacer would not be in contact, whereas if the core was too narrow the spacer would still be in contact with the bearings and would (ideally) keep them in position instead of the core?

It’s possible I don’t understand spacers.

Spacers do nothing unless you tighten the wheels down.

If you are tightening the wheels down, why?

If indeed the core of the wheel is narrow and you are using spacers, but not tightening the wheel down, you are probably doing more harm than good.

There's really no need to use spacers for street/park skating. Longboarding or cruising, maybe.

Because I hate the way wheel play feels when I’m riding down a hill, especially switch. It feels like something’s banging around down there, slowing me down. It’s probably all in my head, though. Otherwise, I agree with you.

new wheels are the besttt those loopholes the classic shape? damn that white leather looks really nice on the cons
[close]

I'm very sick I'm having trouble answering this stuff. So if it's not in english I apologize. I'm I'll as fuck...


Yes. They are classic shape. I'm a little worried that they might be needing custom size spacers. The cores look very narrow as is the riding surface.

The shoe is nice. I'm going to paint them tho
[close]

I might be wrong, but a normal sized spacer should work fine on narrow cores, right? If the cores were too wide, the bearings and spacer would not be in contact, whereas if the core was too narrow the spacer would still be in contact with the bearings and would (ideally) keep them in position instead of the core?

It’s possible I don’t understand spacers.
[close]

Spacers do nothing unless you tighten the wheels down.

If you are tightening the wheels down, why?

If indeed the core of the wheel is narrow and you are using spacers, but not tightening the wheel down, you are probably doing more harm than good.

There's really no need to use spacers for street/park skating. Longboarding or cruising, maybe.
[close]

Because I hate the way wheel play feels when I’m riding down a hill, especially switch. It feels like something’s banging around down there, slowing me down. It’s probably all in my head, though. Otherwise, I agree with you.

I like a little movement in the wheels. No way I can ride them tightened all the way down. 1-2mm of play for sure. A little jiggle.

Friend has them cranked down and it doesn’t feel good in my opinion. Feels dead and weird.

However I’ve always liked a little wiggle so who cares.

Injured at the moment, so naturally if I can't skate I just buy shit instead.

Decided to set up a light and low 8" deck so I've got a G045 Chocolate deck and some Venture low 5.2 hollows on the way, I may also grab a G008, I'm a 14" WB guy generally but want to see how 14.25" feels as it seems to be a vastly more common WB and would up my deck choice a lot in the 8-8.25" range.

Only skated 14” for the last 5ish years. Last two decks have been 14.25 and I’ve noticed an improvement on manual tricks and feel a little more confident jumping down stuff. Was weird at first but I got over it quick.

2 tubes of Shoe Goo, I flick and drag hard so my sides wear out way faster than my sole or heel. Feel wasteful to toss out shoes while the sole is still good.

I really love the Deathwish deck, considered keeping it for a wall hanger. But I'm about to grip it now, excited to go skate it.

And that Theories hat is dope, it fits perfect! And to all other pals out there with a big dome,  I know you feel my pain when it comes to finding a hat that fits well.

My girlfriend just got me these for our anniversary. Am really looking forward to trying the p2 shape. The Fastbreaks feel really good. The toe doesn't look as round on these compared to photos I've seen on here.

I’m not interested in the intimate details of your relationship (that’s a lie), but....how? Like how was she so able to come thru with the correct items? Most people I’ve dated have been like ‘hmmmm you are so crazy about the stuff I didn’t know what to get/didn’t want to get the wrong thing’, which I always thought was a completely accurate take, although less romantic. ‘Oh you got me 8.25” chocolate board because you know I liked that company (back in the day not now damn lady pay attention), how sweet of you babe!’. Her: ‘it’s not the right one is it?’ ‘No it totally is! (It’s not I skate 7.75 baby damn!). Her, sniffs...’well I wasn’t sure and...’ last skateboard gift ever.

lmao. +1. So I'm really lucky and I know that. I'll show my girlfriend something around holidays etc and she always comes through with it. I don't know if she's ordering it immediately after I leave the room or I just show her so much shit that she knows what I like. It might be because she's fascinated with how obsessive I am over my gear and is asking why I think I want xyz. All I know is she's a keeper.

There really is something special about a partner that cares enough about your obsessive shit that she goes the distance to get you cool stuff you want. My girl is like that too and it has made me pay more attention as well, but it sure as fuck isn't easy haha.

That's so dope! I had the grey one with navy sleeves as a kid and lost it to some dipshit homie who borrowed it, I remember being so hyped on it. I've been really wanting to get a new one too but since I gotta order to Europe, I've been waiting for something else to even out that shipping with. Next run of Muska silhoutte decks, it's going down.

haha that's sick @ok boomer. dude in my school had one of these s-horty-s hoodies and also wore it pretty much all the time, which then lead to him getting nicknamed HORTY. i think it still sticks to this day. dude's nicknamed after a fucking shorty's hoodie. that's dope if you ask me.

@somethingmustbreaknow I just read this after posting..at first glance I thought is he talking about me? But I had the nickname because of my last name long before the company/shirt came out. Just irony in my case.

I've managed to find a small batch in a shop in China. Problem is they are small at 7.875. I think I could handle the reduced with but I'm not sure about the length and WB, if its 31.6 - 31.75 I could deal with it. But I know some 7.75s that are 31.3 which is microscopic.

I was thinking the same thing the other day, the P2 looks like it has a little more carbon fiber in it:

But what would I know. DSM decks definitely sound different, almost plastic and rattly. Haven't ridden anything other than a shitty price point board so I'd give the Impact decks another go.

Not to mention more expensive, don't want to be stuck with dimensions I can't at least skate. I've gotten screwed over twice by Skate America / Action Village. Got sent a P2 Cruiser and a regular Santa Cruz deck instead of the P2 deck.

The impacts (as noted above) are a thinner strip (they stopped making the 8 ply full top layer boards) than the P2s carbon fiber insert width, the impacts are also heavier than standard decks, 'Impact light' only refers to it being lighter than the full impact board I mentioned; they are heavier than the P2s.

When they were made, that's all I rode and If they still made P2s it's all I'd ride...

This being my fav:

Flights are flexi in comparison, so far tho, the VX I'm skating is feeling very P2: light, stiff and poppy.

Graphics be damned! I've been trying to snatch up as many P2 decks as I can since they went out of production and I've loved the 2 I've ridden. Zero and Louie Lopez are from @Mongoloid, dude is a solid gold mate. @Sundaynuggets game through with The Sloth Report deck, I went in buying trucks but knew I had to get one of his boards. I have not trained BJJ but I have done Muay Thai for a few years and follow MMA extensively. This one was a great find.
[close]

I love this so much dude! keep hoarding those P2s!
[close]

I've managed to find a small batch in a shop in China. Problem is they are small at 7.875. I think I could handle the reduced with but I'm not sure about the length and WB, if its 31.6 - 31.75 I could deal with it. But I know some 7.75s that are 31.3 which is microscopic.
[close]

Aren’t P2s the same as a Dwindle impact deck?
[close]

I was thinking the same thing the other day, the P2 looks like it has a little more carbon fiber in it:

But what would I know. DSM decks definitely sound different, almost plastic and rattly. Haven't ridden anything other than a shitty price point board so I'd give the Impact decks another go.
[close]

Yeah, but far more fun to hunt down the discontinued P2s!
[close]

Not to mention more expensive, don't want to be stuck with dimensions I can't at least skate. I've gotten screwed over twice by Skate America / Action Village. Got sent a P2 Cruiser and a regular Santa Cruz deck instead of the P2 deck.
[close]

The impacts (as noted above) are a thinner strip (they stopped making the 8 ply full top layer boards) than the P2s carbon fiber insert width, the impacts are also heavier than standard decks, 'Impact light' only refers to it being lighter than the full impact board I mentioned; they are heavier than the P2s.

When they were made, that's all I rode and If they still made P2s it's all I'd ride...

This being my fav:

(https://skateparkoftampa.com/spot/productimages/colors/1_56122.jpg)

Flights are flexi in comparison, so far tho, the VX I'm skating is feeling very P2: light, stiff and poppy.

I'm around 8-10 session in on my Santa Cruz P2 and it's hold up really well. Nose and tail are getting a little mushed and the tail is starting to razor but the pop is still there. I've landed a few sketchy 360 flips with my feet over the center and the deck held up just fine. I'm finally used to the steepness for regular straight tricks (kickflips, ledge tricks) but I'm still not used it for 360 flips or FS Flips. I'll check the VX out in store, $75 is really steep for the deck, I end up paying close to 50% more after shipping and taxes.

Just ordered a navy blue S-HORTY-S hoodie. Had 3 of those back in like 98-01, it is embarrassing how excited I am to have one again. (Well when it shows up)

haha that's sick @ok boomer. dude in my school had one of these s-horty-s hoodies and also wore it pretty much all the time, which then lead to him getting nicknamed HORTY. i think it still sticks to this day. dude's nicknamed after a fucking shorty's hoodie. that's dope if you ask me.
[close]
@somethingmustbreaknow I just read this after posting..at first glance I thought is he talking about me? But I had the nickname because of my last name long before the company/shirt came out. Just irony in my case.

I used the name "horty" on some online chat program back then also. I think in 1999. Made me laugh when people would be like "hi horty". Seriously love that logo, its ridiculous

Bought some Polar Big Boy pants. I've always rocked baggy Carhartt jeans so I'm interested to see how they compare.
Also bought a new magenta 8.25 cause I snapped my girl deck and the new Nike Sb air trainer 1's because I'm mad that I missed the Polar collaboration last year.

Yes. They’re $14 a pair and everyone here swears by them. If it stops my baseplates from oblonging/ovaling out and allow my trucks to feel right then it’s worth it. Grabbed the second pair in case I still manage to blow out one of the pivot cups. Worst case scenario I’ll have the others for a later pair of trucks

I've been doing an insta detox and was so mad that I missed out on the re-release.  Muska said that there should be another batch next week sometime. I think he might rejoin shortys? I don't think he is doing anymore of the Mu$ka silhouette boards.

Would be a pretty smart move, they can basically print money.

Ordered a Krooked Cromer Lil Snuff football shape. I will mention this repeatedly, but 1992-1993 is my favorite era of skateboarding shapes. (Favorite era would probably be 1989-1993 total). Wonder how skinny this is going to be at the trucks. Shape looks fun though.

Yes for pivot cups it is super expensive but in the grand scheme of things, 14 bucks over the life of a pair or pairs of trucks is nothing for the improvement

square kicks always make boards feel wider imo. this deck is PS pressed and feels like an 8.6 just standing on it, compared to the hockey/FA shapes in the same width.

i cant jive with pointy/round kicks at 8.5, makes the deck feel small and dainty. only time those shaped kicks ever work for me is @8.75+

edit: the deck actually measures 8.6 over the front trucks and 8.5 in the back

probably the fastest ive ever went from contemplating to buying skate gear. homie hookup on the hat and bushings definitely sealed the deal

venture beanie

Awesome. Do the squarer kicks make it skate like something wider? I wanted to go down to 8.5 and got a Blue Eagle AH, but it just felt a little too skinny with the rounder kicks. It was under 32” too. Been thinking about trying something like this. Let us know when that rain lets up

square kicks always make boards feel wider imo. this deck is PS pressed and feels like an 8.6 just standing on it, compared to the hockey/FA shapes in the same width.

i cant jive with pointy/round kicks at 8.5, makes the deck feel small and dainty. only time those shaped kicks ever work for me is @8.75+

edit: the deck actually measures 8.6 over the front trucks and 8.5 in the back

I’m a fellow 8.5 quasi square shape fan. I’m skating one now and have another one ice and can honestly still say I’m jealous of this one. It’s a cool looking board.

Baker 3 deck is such a killer find! Bootleg Elissa Steamer and Scott Kane decks are going for $500 on ebay, which is way too rich for my bloody. Would pay top dollar for a Pete Eldridge Bootleg board.

Some socket wrenches for my electric screwdriver. I've been putting together and taking apart boards very frequently and the socket attachment should help keep those Philips heads intact.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll snag one when I come across it. I’ve been riding the Jason Adams 8.68 Black Label and the kicks are on the square side. Very comfy.

Just impulsively ordered this Polar deck because I've always wanted to try a football shape and the COVID-19 hard goods drought finally scared me into picking up a deck for later. I had to stop myself from ordering a set of F4s too....

Ordered a Krooked Cromer Lil Snuff football shape. I will mention this repeatedly, but 1992-1993 is my favorite era of skateboarding shapes. (Favorite era would probably be 1989-1993 total). Wonder how skinny this is going to be at the trucks. Shape looks fun though.
[close]
I measured 8.0 at the trucks when I had one

Thanks! Its going to be here tomorrow or Saturday so I'm hyped

Boards I've bought in the last four months or so.

I'm going to skate the Niels board and the Carpet board. Niels is 8x31.5x14 so perfect dims for me. The Carpet's a bit bigger but I really want to skate it.

Was going to skate the Freddy board but I may just save it. Same thing with the FA Gino, looks too nice to skate. The DOA Clockers Carlos Kenner pro board is a definite keeper.

i unlocked so much shit on my 5.2 hollow lows in the few months of riding them, all that was missing was the rattly loose feel that i was running prior. my plan is to start fresh decks with the highs and then swap the hangars to lows when the wood sogs out in an attempt to beat back the madness

Been thinking of that to get a couple more weeks of life off my deck. But shouldn't it be the opposite? Start a new deck off with Lows since the nose and tail are still really stiff and steep. As the deck starting sogging out get some Highs on there to give you a higher yield on your pop?

From my experience starting on highs and going to lows is the way to go. At least if razor-tail is the issue. My theory is that the mellow angle on the lows gives you more meat of the board to pop off instead of the thin ass razor tailed section.

Ditto on the Jessup, got me a roll of 60ft and a box of 20 sheets.

If you're looking for bolts check out Aliexpress or Taobao, no-nonsense 7/8" inch, look for the 25mm ones, your choice of black or gold. Strangely most of their bolts are exclusively Allen. I buy them in lots of 10, costs less than $2 a set with shipping for me in Asia, YMMV.

I bought two pairs of Kalis S in the Victory park colorway about 2 hours ago.
They were $39 Aussie dollars each which is ridiculously cheap I think RRP is $149

 I got two sets of f4 50mm classics off parade world last night even with the shipping they
still turned out to be same price as I pay here. Stoked with finding 50mm f4 spitfire with the limited stock around

Yo you got an even better price than I did for the Kalis S! Not rode shoes with a leather upper for years so this should be interesting. Looks like they are clearing last seasons colorways.

Just so you're not alone, over the last couple months I picked up 2x 8.5 decks and mob grip, 2x Spit F4 and bones reds, 2 es evants, 2x Joslin 2,  and 3x Zero Cole boards (2 to skate and 1 to wall)

It's rained every day since my first session , so I'm still waiting for session 2. Raining right now so tonight is out. Maybe tomorrow!

Bought Indy aftermarket bushings again because I have to tighten these Bones Mediums almost every session now, also waiting for the shop to get some riptide pivot cups.

I wish that shape (from what I can eyeball here and elsewhere online) was on the 8.5" size. That 8.5" white/red one was way too narrow feeling/tapered, a well as awkward to flip. To be honest, I hated it. First DLX board I actually hated. I gave it to a friend nearly brand new and just took the L. Lol I hope y'all enjoy it as much as dude above me did  8)

anyone know where to get bulk bolts?  looking for 7/8 allen

I can't do the bulk grip, I like changing it up based on weather (mob peels in the cold, jessup handles getting wet really well etc) and I know someone who impulse bought a box of black magic. He pretends like he's OK with it but I know he regrets it every time he looks down at his super chipped up grip.

7/8 was hard to find last time I looked but grainger had 1" on closeout for like 48 cents for a hundred for a while . I probably bought them out but might be worth looking, even the full price ones were pretty cheap. I really like them because the head is wider than most "skate specific" hardware so they don't get pulled down into the holes and loosen up your trucks over time.

If you want I'll send you a box (100 bolts) if you pay the shipping. Don't have any nuts though, you'll have to order those but you can get them from a hardware store or Amazon pretty cheap. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Couple of decks to see me through the British winter.

Haven't skated WKND or Primitive wood before, but both of these fall into my preferred 14" WB on mellow concave. Not super jazzed on Primitive or their board graphics, but I can't deny their board specs are exactly what I like, so I figured I'd give it a go.

The WKND is the 8.25CT shape and looks really nice and mellow.

I'm guessing the buzz has worn off, because you're already trying to sell all this on eBay for $1200.

One morning, while enjoying my coffee, half asleep, I bought a pair of Straye Venice.

They were extremely cheap, 40€ with shipment if I'm not wrong.

Well, they are very fucking bland, the feel is like a sock with a sole and they hurt my feet.

No shalom here.

I got a pair TTS, haven't skated but fits real good. Normally between a 7.5/8, got wide feet (for example: 8's in the vans ultrarange, adidas matchcourt, 7.5 in the crockett 2's, jack purcell pros)

Orchard is on point with mail. They gotta have a frickin "hurry up machine"

State footwear. Not too pointy nice snug fit. Insole is way better than I expected to find. A good price.

Ive never had brand new bones before. I've had kid downs and rebuilt sets but this is a first time.

Gotta cut the treads on my aces. I'm skating those out doors this winter. The ventures are brutal in the bowl in the cold. Frickin scary.

i want to get the gall lelands just to flex freddy support.

but apart from being broke as heck thx to covid i would have to wait to wear them until spring i guess and i hate leaving stuff on the shelf.

i have a small skate stuff shopping list to go through before the year ends. have to get some small parts to rebuild a couple pairs of old trucks and need two more decks and sets of wheels. that way i can probably skip anything other than deck purchases till late spring i guess and also build up another board. i wanted to get a guest board/something my roommate can also use to cruise around.

i don't need the wheels actually, i just want to try the 97a f4s and also loopholes.

hope i get all that money shit sorted out so i can treat myself come christmas.

Thanks. They feel good. It's a good shape for my foot. That's pretty rare lately. They look good. I'd like to get some slips maybe next time. I like the burgundy ones a bunch

Loopholes are dope too. They sit on a block nicely for crooks. Slide well haven't flat spotted them yet. I was trying with lay back front rocks at the park the other day. 

I back these brands obviously. They further what I like to see on both coasts.

I would say they're just sligthly smaller then true to size but will probably stretch to be perfect in a few days.

they feel a little snug at first but break in nicely, especially in that suede!

the white leathers were a little harder to break in but were good after two sessions for me!
the are not too roomy nor too pointy so i would recommend TTS, but we all know it depends on your foot- i'd say same size as lucas adv and busenitz pros

i loved the flick on my tyshawns after the first sesh

Bought the new Indy MiDs. I actually bought some new Krux first, because I wanted to try something new...but the difference between them and the Venture Lows I was riding for the past 5 years was way too insane (48mm vs 56mm). I have to put so much effort into making sure I snap hard enough for my tail to hit the ground...but I can’t front, my ollies have visibly improved in height.

Plus, I realized that my filmer board on Indy 159s was exponentially more fun and responsive than the Ventures or the Krux. Switching from filming back to skating was like switching from Yoshi to Bowser on Mario Kart 64. So I pulled the trigger on the Indy MiDs. Can’t wait for them to finally show up in the mail.

I also switched from Bones to Spitfire Formula 4 Full Conicals recently. I can fucking powerslide now. It’s the sickest feeling. Idk how I went this damn long just assuming I’d never figure them out.

Just to add, State insoles are probably the best stock insoles in skate shoes currently from my experience. They beat whatever Cons and and Nike are doing. On par, if not better with Etnies Pro Foam 1 insole, better than Es and Emerica (STI Energy and G6, which are similar to Pro Foam 1), better than the NB# insoles I've tried, defiintely better than Ultra/PopCush, etc. They work well in a lot of other shoes.
Blazer mids with them is a beautiful combo.

I live in Asia so Taobao (China's equivalent of Amazon with much more shopping) just had their 11.11 sale (11th November). Got a bunch of DC shoes, shoe goo and China branded trucks and wheels. I'm all about trying their weird local brands, full of hits and misses.
Keep us posted, super curious about foreign local brands.

Dgk 8.25 I bought just so I could say I bought a dgk deck at Zumiez in Amarillo Texas one time. Actually pretty happy with how it skates. Don't have a measuring tape down here but I would guess it's about 31.7 and 14.3ish on the wb. Generator/bbs so fairly steep tail, but the kicks seem a bit shorter than most bbs I've tried but it works.


Swiss ceramics. Found a really good deal on them ($60, and from an actual shop so no they're not counterfeit.. Not sure if they even fake the Swiss ceramics or just the Reds) and sent it to a fellow SLAP poster. Said poster then proceeded to buy the last two boxes in stock before I could get my order in. After agreeing to exchange a box of gear for one including the bearings, I dutifully sent mine off and waited for his box to arrive. After nearly two months of waiting and many gentle hints, said box with bearings arrived.

I've skated them a couple times and they're good. Not $150 good though. Maybe they still need to break in more or something. At this point I'd still say the $25 rockets are faster.

Third day in a row skating the last resort and fuck do I love these shoes. I have honestly never skated better. I know it's not because of them but still I feel super good and comfy in them.

im about to turn aurora, co into a skate park.  any tips for which grinding wheels and masks to use?

You're going to want a P100 particulate respirator. Either cartridges that attach to a half-face respirator, or the disposable mask style. and goggles.

Also make sure you don’t use a disc rated for lower rpms than what your grinder is rated for. The disc can shatter and send shrapnel flying into your body even with the guard still on it

Also don't put pressure on the disc that would cause it to bend, can also lead to a shattered disc.

Just snagged these Tyshawn Adidas and a new deck. I got a concussion in august and then sprained my ankle the last weekend of september so I've been out sitting around for a while. The shoes were on sale and i thought i'd try them since they have a lot of ankle support. I threw some soft wheels on because i felt like pushing around last night

Just got this Blockhead Streetstyle reissue. One of the first street shapes ever made. Been after one for a while and jumped on it when they came back up.  Flat as a tack, normal tail & wheelbase length but with a shorter nose.  Got some Pink 80s Rib Bones ready to go on it.

Dimensions: 9.125 x 30.125”, 15.5” wheelbase, 6.625 tail, 4.25” nose (longer because of modern hole pattern)

Picked up a set of Venture 6.1s I had a set before but I think I had them on the wrong deck. 

This time around I had them on an 8.5 Almost deck with a 14.25wb and I had a great weekend of skating. 

Just ordered a set of 5.6 hollow to try on an 8” deck with a 14wb.

Been going on a spending spree. Bought this Isle board online and actually got a different one than the one I ordered - that's online shopping for you. But I'm still hyped on it, nice shape and dimensions that aren't different from the initial board I wanted. And it's Generator wood which I don't even think I've skated before.

Three new pairs of shoes as well - Supra Elevates that I got for a good deal on eBay. Also the Mike Arnold Copa Nationales and the Lakai Carrolls, both these shoes are butter and not bulky at all like I was worried about. Tried both on and they feel fantastic. Going to be a good time next year when the snow melts, even though I've got about three older pairs of shoes to skate/kill beforehand.

Can you post a top and side Pic? I've had that deck in my cart for like two months but I'm kind of hesitant because someone said it's the same as the polar 8.25 shape which I have and don't like. I don't know if I got a top stack one or they're all like this, but the tail is really steep even for BBS (steeper than any of the 6 or so hockey/fa boards I've skated. Nose is great but I just ghost pop all over the place unless I skate it on venture lows or mini logos.

They’re pretty lightweight. I wore my first pair for a a couple weeks trying to break them in. They were pretty stiff and didn’t really stretch. After the first wash they softened up and are a lot more comfortable

Have Ace 3 chances and no... Then I went back to my Ventures until I reached the axle and then came back home to Indy.

I also just ordered some 44s. I like Ventures, but I also fuck with them to make them turn better, so I'm hoping Aces will be a good out of the box experience, or that the cool factor will be enough to make me not care.

Also grabbed some authentics for chilling and carhartt double knees for the winter. The pants still feel like I'm wearing 2x4s, but hopefully they'll soften up quickly with how often I fall.

Should I wear a cup when doing skatboarding tricks?..
[close]

joseph did get me to buy a cup though, thanks joesph!

I really like these Huf pants. They’re looser than anything I’ve worn in close to two decades
[close]

Damn I've been looking at those Huf pants way too long. Is that the black colorway? How does the size fit? I'm a w30 on Dickies 874s don't know if I should go for the 30s or size up just in case.
I couldn’t tell you how they compare to Dickies, but I’ll say the black pair stretches more pre-wash than the green pair did. I like the fit but the inseam is long on me. I got them in 34, so I’m guessing the inseam is either 32 or 34

Honestly if I were skating anything I could sack on I'd probably wear a cup. Not so much the butt plug tho lol.

I was searching for a 14" wb deck and just bought this anti hero 8.12 deck. It was an online order and it happened to be the number one from the stack with super steep kicks. It is super strange for me that the tail is higher than the nose and i first tought that the graphic is mistakenly turned upside down, but it is not, the nose is slightly longer but is lower than the tail. I hope i could get used to it after a couple of sessions, at least it is a shorter wheelbase that can compensate the steepness.

I bought a bearing puller/press at the end of summer because sometimes my hands don’t work properly, especially when it’s cold. I thought I made a silly purchase until I mashed some knuckles on my dominant hand. Sooo much easier.

Look at you, bearings! You were once so proud. Now feel the wrath of the left hand of Janus!

Spitfire F4 O.G. shape 55mm, 99's. I'm psyched to try these out, and a 5Boro X Dan Santoro collab deck. I never rode a 5B before but I've ridden Metal and they use So. Central also, I'm sure it will perform above my ability level.

Just pulled the trigger on these bmx vans. Never skated a toe cap or high top so it’s gonna be a few firsts. But it’s a waffle cup and duracap so for $50 why not.

don’t the skate pros with waffle cup usually have a gum sole? Haven’t seen that all white

I got some more Heroin decks and some trucks. Two sets of Spitfire Cheapshots for stupid cheap. A couple sets of hardware, bushings and risers. As well as some eS and DC shoes.

Do the crocketts fit similar to sk8 his?
[close]

I've been on blazers for like 10 years so I have no idea. I did order same size I wear in blazers if that helps.

I wear a 12 in sk8 hi, blazers and crockett hi, however I would say that the fit is different between the sk8 hi and crocketts. I'd say go with the same size, but the sk8 his have a much wider fit so if you have a narrow foot you'll like the crocketts better.

Putting on Ice until my current Rowans are dead

Been coming off a fucking heel spur of all things, you know the only thing that helped? Mothufucking popcush. Everything else hurt or felt hard AF, especially footprint insoles, I swear they made it worse.

Picked these up to wear around the house (popcush model) as I've hardwood everywhere so not good for the heels.

I bought a pair of diamond shoes off amazon that were shipped from shoebacca for $16, cause they were cheap.
The very next day I got a notice from Amazon that the order had been canceled because that item was sold out. No biggie, money refunded.

on the porch today there's a box from shoebacca with my name on it. Surprise!

I thought I had got some damaged, B grade, shoes, but then I saw others online in this IDK, bruised? style in a few other colorways. Definitely not in the description though.

Anyway, free shoes I guess.

I live like 3 minutes from the shop and have a good relationship with them. If they post something you’re interested in shoot me a dm. I might be able to snag early to make sure you secure it.

I just set it up. Will post pics soon. I put Ace 66s on it, but they are white so they still color match!!

I’m measuring it at 9.375” wide and wb 14.375“, despite what the online measurements say. I actually did read that wb number somewhere, maybe skate warehouse? I asked Jay Nev to measure and confirm what I got, so we’ll see. I’m hyped, I was a little afraid of the 14.25” listed wb, and I like the extra width. First impression is it’s lighter feeling and snappier. Probably not as stable tho.

I hated my passport for real. 3 weeks in and it still feels unreliable for flip tricks. If you haven't skated it yet, I would just make it a wall board like I wish I had with mine.

I'm trying to be good with my money so I might just have to live with it. I popped a few ollies, nollie heels, and fs 180's and I don't think it's for me. I'm coming from skating an 8.25 x 31.5 x 14 deck with a pretty flat concave so maybe that's the issue.

As soon as I stood on this thing I was struck by the madness though. Damn.

Word. I hope it treats you better than mine did for me. I've had steep boards before and none of them felt as inconsistent as this one. I thought maybe I got a dud but your post made me think their boards just isn't for me.

I returned the 97a F4 classics I got and got black Ace 44s. I had some extra sets of 44s that I sold, but my current set it going to die soon and no matter what I tell myself I'm not going to be happy skating the Indys or Ventures that I have. I also think at this point I kind of like the Loopholes more than F4s maybe.

Copped a baker 8.25 I had been eyeing with some mob grip. I wanted a lower concave than the high concave board I'd been skating. Board feels a lot smaller than my other 8.25 and wheelbase feels too long. Was skating a WKND Thompson board previously for reference. Can't complain about that fresh mob though, no better feeling imo.

DC sent me a mystery coupon...I got a pair of Lynx Zeros for $39 shipped. I could not pass that up since I really like the ones I have now. Also, got a 4’ grind box for some garage sessions this winter.

I enjoyed mine, but gave them to a homie who was suffering on some weird ass zumiez complete wheels before I wore through them. My weirdo metric for judging wheels is how comfortably I can roll over braille blocks; the tablets performed very well in that regard, but the conical fulls I put on after were better. The tablets felt like they were more nimble and responsive than the conicals though.

I ordered a set of these too. Unfortunately I'm in Texas for 2 more weeks so I'm not going to get to try them out until I get home. The 54m square 55D is my favorite NFG/loophole wheel (54 V is a close second but the width/weight makes them slightly less versatile than the squares) and winter is here so I'm hoping that they'll handle the rock salt and grit as well or better than the OJ 97a formula.

Have you skated yours yet? If so let me know what you think.

It's Scumco Nick and danger Dan and some other 412 OG's new shop - the pics/video I saw looked like they had a bunch of Scumco (obviously) and quasi stuff but that was back around Halloween so I'm sure there's a lot more there now. I got the impression that they're going to carry a lot of cool smaller brands like DOA and loophole so I'm excited to check it out when I get home.

I've been meaning to head over to Radio, probably should've last night but I had a hankering to skate, thus going to One Up. All those guys are cool and it's absolutely worth supporting. I'll most likely go over there sometime this week. I'm curious about Dustin's (former owner of Overcast) feelings about it.

Dustyn is cool with it as far as I know. I had a few long talks with him in the months leading up to him closing and he was pretty over it... he was working a full time job just to keep the shop open and then the hardgoods shortage hit (and overcast was never the best stocked shop to begin with) and his distribution dried up and he could barely keep any wood on the wall. It was always a passion project for him, so when the passion started to die it was only a matter of time. He told me that he just wanted to make it 5 years, and he did that. Last time I talked to him he seemed pretty at ease with it and was happy that he would have more time to skate and less stuff to worry about. He's such a nice, genuine dude and I can't imagine him being anything but totally supportive of something that grows and supports Pittsburgh skating. If you ever met Jovan (the dude from Boston that was working there towards the end) he's got an account on here, he actually figured out who I was the first time I went in there while he was working just from my woodshop nerd shit haha.

I did hear that the oneup guys were a little salty about Radio, but that doesnt really surprise me. I've heard they can be pretty big dildos. The kids that work there are usually super cool though (and some of them really rip)

Bought from a few shops recently for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday:
- 303 Boards
- Emage Denver
- Jack's Garage
- Sunland Skate Shop (featured in a recent Thrasher, which was unexpected but rad!)

Here's some of what I picked up:

Pass~Port (2nd one ever. First one was 5 years ago)
Mob grip (fresh mob is something you can't beat!)
Reds bearings
1" Phillip's Indy hardware
Tom Knox 440 Hi - a truly beautiful shoe in my opinion. Can't wait to skate them!

Passport 8.25 × 31.75 × 14.25 "Tile life" ,board.

It's steep and I kind of hate it right now.
[close]
I hated my passport for real. 3 weeks in and it still feels unreliable for flip tricks. If you haven't skated it yet, I would just make it a wall board like I wish I had with mine.
[close]

I'm trying to be good with my money so I might just have to live with it. I popped a few ollies, nollie heels, and fs 180's and I don't think it's for me. I'm coming from skating an 8.25 x 31.5 x 14 deck with a pretty flat concave so maybe that's the issue.

As soon as I stood on this thing I was struck by the madness though. Damn.
[close]
Word. I hope it treats you better than mine did for me. I've had steep boards before and none of them felt as inconsistent as this one. I thought maybe I got a dud but your post made me think their boards just isn't for me.

Weird, my 8.25 is flat as hell

Enjoi Deedz 8.375 football.

I'm not into the graphic though. Does anyone have any tips on removing Dwindle graphics without sanding? Would acetone applied to a towel work to wipe it off? Might just spray it white and call it good, but it has a cool colored bottom ply that would be cool to clear over.

Tensor ATG Mag Light 5.5.

Always been interested to try these. Found 'em for 20% off, so here we go I guess. Will set em up on the Deedz deck probably.

Need wheels for it, waiting for more shops to have 51mm F4 101a tablets.

Ahh you found some 148s? I just picked up an 8.25 proto too. Figured I might as well get one now while they're available.

I'm still in Texas so I'm going to have a shit load of stuff waiting for me when I get home. Im probably forgetting some shit, but I know for sure I have boxes from DOA and ToPX, a pair of nb 440 high, a bunch of grip and stickers from various places, and then that quasi deck.

Did Rob mitosis into you and TumKayo?

I got a third set of Krux K4 since I'm assuming they'll be discontinued soon. With Ace bushings they are god-tier. Pretty sure the new ones will have a different feel with the new pivot cup design and I'm also strangely turned off by the wave on the baseplate of the K5. I'll still try 'em but I want to have a few K4's on backup.

Yeah, not team hollows, so it's either get a set of 147 TH and swap plates or it's riser time, have some thunder risers kicking around. Tactics just got some yesterday, last week I was going to bite via Amazon/TGM but the price was too much...they wanted 69$ for a pair and that was with prime and even then they sold out pretty fast; still can't find any TI.

The proto was/is probably one of my favorite boards (skated 4-5 of them all paired with Thunders); haven't been feeling the boards I have on hand so time to get to something I know I like...I think it was the lack of a squareish shape and I've been off thunders for a minute (ditched my indy mids to a friend).

Picked myself up an early Christmas gift from 35th North:
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50723821207_18910c59f4_c.jpg)

Excited to finally get another set of 215's after their supply drought. Might be trying to cut them down to 9 inch, to be able to rock that original hangar design on a Powell Tommy G reissue I've been wanting to set up after seeing Chico skate that one.

I've seen someone on Instagram do that. You just have to cut away the aluminum carefully, hammer it off, cut the extra axel off, and rethread the new exposed axel to the appropriate length. I have the tools, been wanting to try it for awhile.

I'll post some process photos if I do that.

Also stoked to try out these 97a F4's on some rough streets.

I know I mess with things a lot but this is crazy taking it to a whole new level, as well as ending up with a very unique product at the end.

Wondering how much of a market there would be for cast Indy hangers in various sizes but in the shape of those reissued 215s, as I know people had been looking for the originals for a long time, as well as asking for another size up from 169s, but not as wide as 215s.

I don't see why 109s and 215s are limited in size yet standard Indys are victim to extra weight due to the fat yoke...if it was a structural issue, the 215s would be the ones bending due to lack of support...so why does the rest of the lineup suffer from wings and fat yokes?

Also, just ride ACE (if you want the look an sizing, unless sponsored of course).
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: TumKayo on December 15, 2020, 09:15:47 PM
215s ride differently (better for me) than other Indy stage 11s. IMO like a blend between 169s and Ace 66, but bigger and even more classic looking. Sometimes in pictures it makes the boards look like tech decks lol.

I was talking to my buddy about this a few weeks ago, I really want to try sizing them down too. I wish I grabbed more on Black Friday deals, since I have the tools and shop space now that I'm back in school. Would love different sizes of this geometry and performance, like 8.75-9.5".

I have some Ace 55 and 66, which turn significantly tighter than 169s or 159s. However the 215s turn just as well as the Aces, if not better, and with less wheelbite. Although 215s do have more wheelbite than other Indys stage 11 sizes, and a slightly lower axle height. The 215s, being Indy, have more rebound out of the turn, but a more similar turn radius to Aces. Both are great honestly, just 215s handle big wheels better. I've been running turn radius experiments with 215s and Ace 55 & 66 the past few days, and they are really close.

Just arrived:
Kast (Danny Fuenzalida’s company out of Miami, I think?) Flamingo 8.75” shaped/cruiser deck.
14.75” WB
Has the characteristic PS Stix identifying laser etched shape & serial #s, so it’ll be at least a decent ride.
Added it to the stack of other boards I’ve “panic purchased” during COVID.
Basically grabbing up any boards on sale that fit my preferred dims.

Scored them from garage skate shop for $30! Hard to resist at that price. Added some hardwear and a 70% off Adidas shirt to get free shipping.

They have been offering 20% off everything all month, and they continue to add new gear every other day or so. They put new F4 wheels on the other day for $38 pre sale price.

$50 Cdn is nuts. They are my favorite shoes currently, I also had K3s growing up. Only thing is they don’t seem as durable as my other shoes, including eS Symbols.

Good buy! The Symbols feel significantly bulkier on foot. The Evants feel much more like an athletic shoe, very reminiscent of the old K3s. The Evants also offer more padding and comfort over Busenitz Pros, it’s a very balanced shoe.

I’ve been trying to decide between these and 6.1s

I skated some 5.8's earlier in the year. They're very stable, but I've found that I just like Aces over anything else, plain and simple. I will say I just cruised around a bit on these 55's and they feel really solid, but still have that smooth Ace turn. Also, consider that 6.1 have 8.75in axles, whereas 55's have 9in axles. Not a huge difference on paper but I know that might sway some folks one way or the other.

Damn I want some 55s. Someone here said they can stand on top of the whole curb on some 66s. That sounds very appealing to me. 

Not sure what deck I would want with the 66s and I might try the 55s first though. Love my 44s. Would 8.5 with 66s be crazy? I’ll keep my eyes peeled at the shop for fun shaped wide boards and slowly build a 66s setup. Seems like a variety of boards are coming back after the covid wipe out.

You are asking if having nearly 1" more axel than board is crazy?

Even 55s on an 8.5 popsicle doesn't make sense. You want 8.75 at the rear trucks for 55s.

I currently have my 55s on an 9.81 Gonz (about 8.75 at the back trucks). Fits perfectly with 58mm KeyFrames.

Even 55s on an 8.5 popsicle doesn't make sense. You want 8.75 at the rear trucks for 55s.

I currently have my 55s on an 9.81 Gonz (about 8.75 at the back trucks). Fits perfectly with 58mm KeyFrames.

Osama of carpet co does 66s on a standard sized popsicle. Not sure exactly what size but I believe it’s an 8.5


I just bought some 55s as well after loving my 44s haven’t set them up yet but probably gonna throw them on an 8.5. They look like they’ll be fine but I’ve also skated 169s on an 8.5 before so maybe I’m just crazy

Damn I want some 55s. Someone here said they can stand on top of the whole curb on some 66s. That sounds very appealing to me. 

Not sure what deck I would want with the 66s and I might try the 55s first though. Love my 44s. Would 8.5 with 66s be crazy? I’ll keep my eyes peeled at the shop for fun shaped wide boards and slowly build a 66s setup. Seems like a variety of boards are coming back after the covid wipe out.

Just checked his insta and I'd bet that's the 8.75 pop.

Yeah, 55s on a full 8.5 I've done too. It's ok, but 159s or even 149s work better.

I run my 55s on 8.75s & the overhang is negligible. Dunno about going with skinnier wood on the 55s though. I wouldn’t, but tha’s jus’ me.

I just pulled the trigger on an unnecessary 8th deck for the stash.
Thought I’d give Alltimers a few dollars since they signed my secret crush (Alexis) recently; picked up one of these without even seeing an image from above, because dumb me.
8.75” W x 32” L x 14.5” WB

Happy holidays to ME (again) I guess.

Personally, I like em. First off, they’re heavy SOBs. But since I mostly ride pools and transition and not jumping off shit, the weight is moot. As for the toe box, it’s wide. Which is nice because I have a wide foot. And it being a lowtop, the Berle was my go to shoe for just going around and walking in. The sole is grippy, but the complaint about it is the waffle design make it a magnet to pebbles.

Overall, I liked skating the Berle more so than the Walker 1. I want to compare it to the Crocketts, but that’ll be after I’m done skating the Rowans.

Awesome, thank you for the reply and insight. I wouldn't say I have wide feet but some shoes definitely rub my pinky toe, so knowing there's room in the berle means instant buy for me. Most vans have a roomy toe box but just wanted to be sure since like I said, I can't physically try them on anywhere.

The Berle Pro, because of that thick and heavy sole and wide toe box, have made some of the most comfortable work shoes I have had in years. Skating in then would be unconscionable to me though.

I haven't worn vans in a really long time due to foot injuries but got these on sale and they're more comfortable than any vans I wore in the past. Seems to be more support all around than I remember in the half cabs I used to wear. There is plenty of room in the toe box. The Accels I picked up have a tight ass toe box that took a few sessions to spread out. I haven't skated the Berle yet but for wearing, they're pretty sweet. They do seem to run a bit long, I wear 10.5-11, measuring about a thumb width between big to and tip of shoe for comfort. These have about 2 thumb width distance but aren't floppy. Only thing I'm not sure about is the sewed insole.

Got my topxmas box from the corner store, should have had it like 3 weeks ago but he was holding it for me until I got back from Texas and I forgot to tell him to ship it. Such a great shop, definitely one of my favorites. Hooked me up with the really cool collectible cup, a free scumco hoody, and the coolest shop sticker ive ever seen. Oh and the boards are sick too.

Full haul:
- 8.25 Getz (already have one of these from the first small release but its on a really nice fade stain so I never skated it.. Got this one to skate)
- 8.25 Decades movie poster collage (love 80s movies so this graphic is amazing)
- Venture 5.2 hi hollows (for 8.1 DOA flats)
- Thunder red 90a truck rebuild kit
- Hoody, Cup, and Stickers

Definitely check them out. If you have questions hit em up on insta, he usually answers really quickly.

https://thecornerstoreskateshop.bigcartel.com/

Also got 2 strangelove decks. 8.25 elves from southside skateshop in Houston and 8.25 heart skull was a trade with Fletch from DOA. Elves shape is awesome and I'm trying to decide whether to skate it or sell it on ebay because apparently the hypebeast kids are paying $300 for them. Heart skull im pretty sure im going to skate, although those go for like a buck fifty too. Although I'm glad Cliver is hopefully making bank, I want strangelove to stop making dunks so people stop buying the decks as a fashion accessory.

- 8.25 Getz (already have one of these from the first small release but its on a really nice fade stain so I never skated it.. Got this one to skate)
- 8.25 Decades movie poster collage (love 80s movies so this graphic is amazing)
- Venture 5.2 hi hollows (for 8.1 DOA by flats)
- Thunder red 90a truck rebuild kit
- Hoody, Cup, and Stickers

I’m riding a TOPX right now. I really like the shape and the wood. Most def gonna check that out.

nice! I hope they keep that graphic around and press it on a few different shapes.
you wall-hanging it, or skating it?

I haven't decided yet.  I'm a big fan of the 8.5 dimensions.  I might double up so I can skate one and keep another for the wall.

feel like I’ve heard they’re lighter weight so might be a bit thin for these winters in the northeast. Interested to see how they fit length wise

I wore a pair of mine with thermals under the other day. They were fine for just wearing, going from car to store, probably wouldn't do that if I was planning to skate/be outside for a long time though. I'm 30 minutes outside of philly, it's been mid 30's the last week for reference.

I’m riding a TOPX right now. I really like the shape and the wood. Most def gonna check that out.

They're Generator/BBS wood and the mold they use is probably the most common stock one for popsicles, so if you ever want another one but can't find a TOPX I can probably help you track one down. A lot of smaller brands and shop decks use it so its usually pretty easy to find one. I have a Traffic Luke Malaney deck thats the same so I would guess most traffic boards use it as well. Just beware that some of the other theories distribution brands (including theories themselves) have been using clutch due to covid making it really hard to get wood. I think theres a clutch shape that's very similar but with a slightly longer nose although I don't remember which one it is.

Theres also a pretty cool company from Portland called Merde that I think uses the same bbs mold.. the one I have is a little mellower than my terror boards but I'm pretty sure its just because its a bottom of the stack board. Most of their graphics are really cool and the guy who owns it is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Basically if you see a generator/bbs deck thats the same dimensions  (the 8.25" is 31.8" with a 14.25" wheelbase) and its not from one of the big guys who have their own molds (bakerboys, deluxe, element, FA etc) theres a good chance itll be the same as the terror one.

What trucks are you riding? I tend to have issues with BBS tails and high trucks but I skated the traffic with Ace 44s and really liked it. I'm going to try Venture 5.6 hollows on this one since they're only slightly higher but if I end up struggling like I usually do then I might try films to see if the mid-height/short wheelbase combo works as well as it did with aces.

Awesome to know. Thank You.

I'm on the 8.75 with a 14.5 WB on Ace 55s for transition purposes.

I want to try one with a shorter WB on my Ace 44s.

We're back into lockdown so I ordered some stuff I really don't need via curbside pickup from the local as they're getting hammered with the loss of a lot of snowboard/snow gear sales this time of year (ski hills have been shut down). Got a Darkroom Purgatorio and some Dickies 874s. Board is a tank at 33x8.8 so not sure if it will be a wall hanger or will be heading back to get some 159s in the new year.

Happy New Year's everyone - stay safe and be well.

I don't want to influence you or impart any bias before you skate it, but I'm curious how that red proto feels to you. I recently got the 8.25 and was mega stoked as I love red stain, but it felt noticeably thicker and duller than the previous quasis (8.25 purple proto, GC acidply, GTH, and 8.37 AD after death) as well as most other PS decks I've skated. I switched from venture hollows to ace 44s and for whatever reason that made it feel a lot better but not in the usual PS way. It still feels heavy and like I'm thumping the ground rather than snapping off it when I pop. I do like it now and the shape is still fantastic as always but I'm curious if its a weird batch of wood or I just got a dud or something.

I’ve skated a couple of Quasis before and they felt ligth and crisp. Hopefully it was just a bad batch of wood. Anyways, it won’t stop me from enjoying it.

Bought some thunders from one local and paid more than what they would cost online... picked up a real, end racism, deck For the wall.

Went to another shop and got a thrasher hoodie and a sheet of drkrm grip. Also bought a sheet of mob for a kid who was trying to get the cheapest deck possible.

@Buttfart Rapedick I just set up a 8.25 proto to skate Saturday and I didn't notice any difference. It was from the shops newest receipt of Quasi decks as well. I am also on ACE 44's, and came off of a dead sounding, soggy, month old Hockey, and as surprised the Proto sounded so snappy as I am typically used to the dead sound with ACE.

A few factors my madness has picked up on, my boards sound the most dead with new bearings on ACE. Also pure madness here, how far do you sink your hardware bolts? I have noticed that with ACE my bolts will just keep sinking and tightening but never "get tight", as opposed to Venture where they get tight and stop. I have started bringing the heads right to flush, taking out the allen key and giving another 1/4 turn from just the nut side and I swear my boards have less of a dead sound.

Nah that checks out to me with ace and bolts, and all the stuff about sound: same over here. Ace feel softer and the baseplate seem thinner, compared to venture.

I recommend the Kalis Vulcs, managed to snap a few pairs up on discount, currently riding my 2nd pair with 2 more on ice. I have wide feet and bunions so they can be a little tight on the front but stretch out very quickly.

I always like the plain simple graphics like that, but goodness 50 mm new are such small wheels to me!

So how were the shipping time and cost - any issue?

Just curious, not judging or anything either way (but getting in before anyone says anything).

I used to get a lot of things a while back, especially when the AU dollar was better, also before I had shop account access, but nowdays everything just seems to expensive to order from overseas, as well as cracking down on import duties too.

With shipping and exchange rate they cost me about $58 Aussie per set..

Re judging - I know a lot of people will instantly start into the "support your LOCAL shop / industry" but as you said, you cannot get 50mm wheels anywhere in Australia right now and that actually worked out a very competitive rate.

Who was the shop they came from, given everything always comes from a shop and parade are just the facilitator?

Got the 56s for the cruiser. Also wish 52s. So far I like em. Like a dork I had two boards out, one with 56 conical fulls 99a, then these. I just like the classic shape. I skate bad, usually, on the conical fulls

What I am finding interesting is so many bigger shops over there are getting solid orders of all the good stuff, but it seems there is still so little actually coming into this county by comparison.  From following way too many shops in AU and in USA, it is a definite shortage here still.

The stock pivot cups are pretty cheap and shitty. I blew them out fairly quick which led to the pivot hole on my baseplate getting oblonged from the hanger moving around too much. Haven’t had that since changing to the Riptide cups

92 is where its at if you're in the 170-180lb range in my opinion. Still get that nice surfy turn but enough resistance to avoid wheelbite and keep you stable when you're setting your feet up. I just got my first set of 94 and they're ok but I prefer the 92.

Btw venture stock bushings are 94a so you could always use those if you have a pair. Destructo are probably around that duro too, maybe a little stiffer. I would avoid doh-doh 95a though... they're decent enough but tend to get chewed up and lose their resilience after a little while.

Oh and if anyone has film hards... they freeze up bad in the cold. Like rock hard, no turning at all after 5 minutes in freezing temps. Never had a bushing that did it as bad as those do.

good shit. i am 200 and just put a set of 97a supercush in 169. I think 94a would be perfect in the winter then. The 97a in the summer then, but its pretty hard and gotta really lean into it. might try flat top washers too.

If you haven't skated them in a bit, just give them a bit more time to warm up and ease in - had a board I hadn't skated in a while that I had a roll on and the bushings felt like rocks, but after a bit they were much more back to normal.  When I say a bit, it might have been an hour or so.

The old heel toe heel toe heel toe leaning side to side, then turn it around and do the same on the other side sometimes helps.

cheers, that makes me feel better because I actually had these trucks on ice (literally because it's been cold here) for a few weeks while I was deciding what deck to set them up on. My skate yesterday was probably an hour in total but they still felt a little bit weird to me, I was having a pretty shit day so I'll give them another go next week.

Two 8.5s and Mob:
- Anti Hero Pfanner - digging the solid pale white/yellow graphic
- Black Label Troy - this one has a nice medium full shape to it. Not pointy and not super full either. Stoked on this one for sure! Thanks everyone that chimed in with feedback on Label, I have a feeling it will be good once set up

Been wanting to pick up a Chris Troy deck for a while, he was the hottest thing for a brief period but faded into the background in the 2010s. Tri-star is a rad shop, good customer service.

Curious if both boards are the same size, more so width wise, as I know the AH is supposed to be shorter in wheelbase and length than the BL, but if you have had a peek at the DLX board sizes thread, it would be interesting for your input.

I bought Bones Swiss a couple months ago. I will be completely honest and say that they are no better than any other functioning set of bearings I've ever skated.

It really seems like my Shake Junt bearings are better. They spin for longer, for sure.

Label is noticeably longer at 32.25 compared to 31.85 AH. Width-wise, under my feet, Label feels like a "full" 8.5" and the AH feels like a modest/small 8.5. Will CC my input (and more) to the other thread. I haven't noticed DLX mislabeling the size for any of their boards over the years but it's possible they do some "rounding" of the measurements or tapering to shapes that affect the accuracy of those specs.

Thanks!! My preferred shape is the slightly full but not too full and looks like I scored on this one! 2 months and still going strong? That's awesome! I can't wait to set this one up! I usually run boards 1-2 months depending on how soggy they get.

I bought Bones Swiss a couple months ago. I will be completely honest and say that they are no better than any other functioning set of bearings I've ever skated.

It really seems like my Shake Junt bearings are better. They spin for longer, for sure.
Report back when you have had your bones for two years without breaking them.

Never had a shake junt or red last that long. Not remotely

This.
Swiss 6 were noticeably faster than other bearings, and lasted. Regular swiss I didn’t notice the speed as much as I noticed the longevity

A reputable skateshop. Maybe the bearings are in the process of working their kinks out. I'm using spacers for the first time ever.

No matter even with spacers, always leave some play.

I helped a guy who always did his bearings up so tight, even with washers, spacers and everything, they still only ran at half speed.  He was adamant they should be that tight, but after I loosened them off a touch, he couldn't believe how much better they ran.

The "Racing" bearings are the only ones that should be done up tight, the ones with the extra inner spacer built in.

Sorry if I talk too much.

So far every regular type of truck is the same mold for the pivot cups, which Film would fit into as well, but if you are not sure, take them out and compare them to Indy, Ace or whatever others you have (sorry I forgot, but could have easily checked post history).

Some people have sworn they are different, but one shop guy that has stocked them all says they are all the same, so when he sells out of one specific truck brand name pivot cup set, he takes the stickers off others and sells them as required.

They definitely seem like they are better than standard generic after market or stock pivot cups, but I am still yet to see any other than close ups in pics.

and i thought i was lucky to have come up on a bunch of usa made trucks off ebay. i seriously have been trying to find, at the very least, an image of this board for years. you are one lucky fucker. a long time ago, i was given this board but for some reason i didnt like it and ended up trading it into my local for a sean sheffey girl deck(also trying to find an image of the deck). to this very day, i still think about that jason dill exp board and what could have been. would it be too much trouble to ask you for some high res images of this board?

Definitely a Vulc feel. Very thin but not too thin, about like a blazer. The insoles are thicker than blazers and very comfy. I don’t do high impact so I can’t really speak on how they hold up to jumping down stuff. Grippy sole. Very well made and holding up good so far!

I enjoy my EFB, but sometimes I hate how wide it is. For me, I have to crock on the side so the wheels on top like a ledge. Feebles and smiths feel like cheating. I would have got the round rail if the flat wasn't on clearance. Still, its'a solid rail, doesn't wobble, fits in the car.

I recently picked up these

Got my first Quasi from the shop today. 8.375" x 32.25", 14.25 WB. PS Stix and they definitely bend the tape when measuring length cause going straight across, it doesn’t crack 32. I’m excited though.

Oh also some Spitfire F4 Tablets 54mm 99d. It’ll be awhile until I skate them.

My buddy who I skate with regularly has a round rail. Got the EFB  to have something easily portable, and is closer to being a ledge.

I'm not use to the round rail as I just started skating regularly again but I feel like the EFB will be a good stepping stone. Thanks for the insight!

venture 5.6 raw
f4 99 classics 54mm
reds

Not sure I'll have any use for the trucks and extra bolts but the rest of the parts alone are worth the cost.

Yeah roughly mid-2000s when Barley and Suski were on for a brief period. Been combing through old issues of 411vm, i know he had a Pro Setup in there and he was on a Birdhouse deck.

Paid around $70 USD for each one, it was a hardcore collector looking to liquidate so it was fun to talk shop with him too.

The Tony Hawk ones could be worth something in a few years but I was having a major nostalgia boner when I found the Donny Barley deck. Too bad I have zero wall space so these will likely sit in a storage cabinet with the rest of my collection.

They don’t do re-issues, but they have done plenty of homages. Jaws has one out now. Willy santos releases some older graphics under his workshop brand

didnt they just released a couple tony hawk re-issues? i find the homages of older graphics slapped with a different persons name to be meh.
that "jaws" video where he does that 25 stair in france, the one that ali boulala tried, where he got his protective gear and his dad cheering for him at the bottom of the stairs really did not sit well with me. it felt so corny. whenever i see his name, that's all i think about. i think fred mortagne was telling ali that "jaws" had the protective gear and ali said the only thing he had when tried it was a hangover.

My wife thinks half cabs are ugly but with my current pair she said that they don't look as bad as she remembers but they're still pretty dumb looking so I bought her a pair in her size. Just regular black classic half cabs, the same as mine.

I also bought a pair of 55mm oj mini super juices because I want to try and skate on frozen dirt spots I've been eyeing up since it's winter.

scumco 8.5/31.5/14.0 from @ballintoohard
venture forged plates from @tzhangdox
riptide pivot cups

still in love with my dane1 setup but im itching to learn some basic ledge tricks and i need more nose to be consistent.

last time on a 14" wheelbase, i found that less distance from my front foot to the nose makes pop brainless, almost felt like cheating outside of the board being half an inch too thin. this sort of ease is exactly what i want to give complete focus to the ledge.

good width + short length + short wb = perfect?

the forged plates and raw 5.6 hangers should push the wheels out to a comfortable 17.5, so slipping out should be a non-issue. all i can do is speculate anxiously until everything arrives and is set up

I bought two chapman blanks, one of which i wanted to set up for my girlfriend but it looks like she actually would rather rollerblade so whatever

I had a politic that delaminated down one side literally the first week I had it. Literally 2 days after the blanks got to my house I broke the nose doing a fs shuv on flat :(

really like how the chapman is skating. The nose looked smaller to me but to be honest I quite like it. I notice I do my kickflips better when popping off the nose anyways so maybe a smaller nose would actually help me.

I got pink and brown, which aren't my favorite colors but oh well

I don’t break boards. Only rotate stuff, so I have decks that are years old. Anyways, for me, if I get to skate the board 4 times, that feels like cutoff. 2 months of everyday skating seems like a really really long time to me.

After lubing my bearings yesterday I was not able to attach one wheel because the axle thread was defect. So I ordered the Independent skate tool with axle rethreader and a few axle nuts. Stuff arrived today and the rethreader works a treat (or should I say thread haha). Anyway stoked I was able to get this delivered quickly and the tool is great even if quite costly. Now if only the rain would stop so I could skate  >:(

When the 868 was live in production, I liked them but they felt way too tech and bulky for me so I never tried, but now....oh I would have loved those/would love them now! I have some 1010s that I chill in (until they break in) and just know that the 868 would have been a dream if I gave them a shot.

Good score!!

Using Amazon for reference

We used to lay the grip sideways and cut it directly off the board, so got way more decks gripped from it that way (and always had some lines / gaps which were cool with the amazing DLX top stains).

Even with the sheets, we got about a spare deck worth from about four sheets of grip, and had fun doing it too.

I think I have almost left that behind, just from doing plain black the regular way with only having access to sheets rather than rolls and so much more of it in recent years, but having a 10 or 11" roll was amazing for doing that.

Sorry if I came off sounding condescending, it was 1am and I was feeling grouchy. I live in a tiny apartment eithout a proper work space so it's a pain to roll out the grip and cut it to length. My stash of boards maxes out at 8.5" hence the 9" roll, any wider and the 10" roll would make sense.

I just bought some on mini super juice so I could try and skate on some frozen grass. I set them up on my rain board and skated them a little before it started snowing. I’ve heard people complain about them not having slide and honestly I can’t do no pop regular shoves cause they don’t have slide but that’s pretty much it. I could flip the board fine and 360 flips, kick flips and nollie flips felt good. I didn’t get to skate long but I landed 4 out of 5 360 flips including my first one.

I’ve heard people complain about them not having slide and honestly I can’t do no pop regular shoves cause they don’t have slide but that’s pretty much it. I could flip the board fine and 360 flips, kick flips and nollie flips felt good. I didn’t get to skate long but I landed 4 out of 5 360 flips including my first one.


Out here fuckin flexing on me. My 360 flips are garbage. No fucking way I’m landing that shit with cruisery wheels.

But, what I really wanna know is, what’s good with bearings for the rain board?

I pretty much only skate reds (creature of habit). I just put a new set of reds in the wheels when putting the wheels on, which means I have newer bearings on my rain board then my regular board. It's winter so it will probably get more use for a little especially with all this damn snow.

Like 10 years ago I had bones swiss bearings and the house I was living in north philly got broken into and I'm pretty sure the only reason they stole my board was as a transportation device for a big ass stereo (which they probably didn't realize was broken). I have never bought swiss again.

Krooked board the, $40 ones. My friend keeps buying them. They had em in a size i like, so i bought. Feels like poop. They chip easy. Looks like I possibly already have cracks underneath the griptape on the nose. Been skating it for a week. The next nollie pop shuv I pop and dont land bolts im snaping it. Gotta avoid trick that I can pop high and dont always land bolts. Which suck bc I like those

In your mind, how long should a board last?
[close]

I usually make them last 2 months
[close]


I don’t break boards. Only rotate stuff, so I have decks that are years old. Anyways, for me, if I get to skate the board 4 times, that feels like cutoff. 2 months of everyday skating seems like a really really long time to me.

Everyday? Im not 15, son. The most I skate is half the week and I keep it low impact. 4 times is ridiculous imo. If youre chris joslin, sure.

My average is a board a month, sometimes up to 2 if I really like the board.
I'm skating almost every day for roughly 1 hour minimum and 4-5 hours at absolute most on weekends nowadays. A $lave board last year lasted me about 3 months but there were 2-3 weeks of wildfires that kept me from skating it though.

I'm surprised people go through boards faster than a month if they're not doing low impact stuff or are only doing what they know. I know some people are more sensitive to chips and razor tail, though, but still...

My boards last me a long time, mainly because I skate like a grandma these days and have multiple setups - more so transition / small fun things and no rails, gaps, stairs.

Others I skate with who always go hard (stairs, rails, gaps, and just hard skating) can go through a board in a day or even a session, but more commonly a board a week is about their average.  Those guys usually always have spares floating around and older boards they have taken off as back ups just in case their main board breaks while they are out.

I couldn't justify buying and destroying pro boards, even at wholesale prices for that sort of skating, but they are happy on the wholesale blanks program so when they buy boards by the box, it works out way cheaper.

For me the quality over quantity works much better and I try to look after my boards a lot, but if something feels off or weird, I will retire it straight away and pass it on to someone else, rather than keep skating it and not be happy with it.

Ah and I'm the one setup kind of guy. Got two others: a cruiser and a Chocolate Couch shape. Those two are the rare mess around session set ups. I almost always ride my ATV setup.

I also have friends who go hard and can go through boards in hours or up to a week. I almost always try to slide them my old spares or sell them the boards I try and don't like (similar to you: dont wanna be unhappy fighting the battle to get "used" to it) if they're strapped for cash/spare boards.

Definitely try to look after my boards too. Keeping the grip clean and grippy by not spilling shit or forgetting to dust off my shoes is #1 after trying not to throw my board out of frustration.

Recently, I bought two decks and am so eager to set one of them up but I am being patient to finish off my Pass~Port first since it's got life left. Covid supply chain issues pushed me to stretch most of my gear AND pass on more of my gear to homies/locals who need it more than I do. I used to keep used spares but now I have unopened spares, ha!

Got these Indy super softs to test with. I think it will be sick.

Real 3 ply Venture cut risers because I'm expecting wheel bite.

Familiar shoes.

Perfect bushings for Venture Hi's, I run those with RipTide pivot cups.
If your wheels are 54mm or smaller you shouldn't need the riser pads with Venture Hi's.

- Some Pizzanista shirts (December 2020)
Rolling Stones and Banned In LA graphics. I was a Pizzanista Tuesday night regular for almost 3 years before Covid, give or take a few I missed, so I was stoked to get these two (and they were half off!) to support em. I also bought their sauce but that stuff is so good it's already gone haha!

- Es Menikmati LS (December 2020)

- Bones STF V5 a couple days ago
I forgot how white the STF Bones where since I've been on Spit F4 and the "natural wash" Bones STFs for the past year and a half.

- Old Friends Jump Rope today & Top of Mason book is on its way.
Wanted to support Walker Ryan since he's always been a positive figure in skateboarding, plus I could use the push to get more in shape!

Do you happen to know the length of the 8.25 AWS? Website says 32.25 but I think they measure funny. My 8.125 was ~ 31.8 in length. And I loved that deck.. <3

less square with a slightly longer nose and tail than the deep dish im on, similar concave (might be the silver spoon idk though). not the biggest fan of ps wood so im attempting to stockpile as many pennswood scumcos just in case they dont carry over the 14" wb

any links to deep dish 8.5s would be much appreciated, this shape is looking scarce nowadays
So nice! I wrote to Scumco last week and PS is 14 3/8 wb and over 32 length.

Just ordered these online, I hope they skate well

They get a lot of hate on Slap but I have now skated through a pair and really liked them. Comfortable and good hold thanks to tongue straps (is that a word?). Copped them in May and they have only now reached their end of lifecycle (2 sessions per week). Plus they look good, would cop again but have a pair of Puigs lined up next.

To hold and stroke, or to skate, or even as a retirement fund?
I couldn’t skate these. It took forever to find all four colors. I just got the white one in the mail. The sad part is I probably won’t hang them because I have like 100 boards on the wall of our 2BR apartment. Every weekend I just pull out boxes to admire. I’m a legit hoarder.

I guess a whole lot better than just putting them up for resale at x times the price, as I have seen already with some of these.

Some guys I know who get these sort of boards always skate them no matter what, but I guess with rails and minimal scratching of board, they stay pretty much pristine anyway.

primitive villani egg 9.125
butter goods santosuosso denim
black rit dye

had the primitive on my "to try" list for a couple of months and decided to pull the trigger with the garage sale. hoping the tail feels steep paired with ventures. gotta decide whether to keep it on ice until my dane goes or to swap them out.

i found the pants in size 34 with 10% off, but i think blue jeans are appalling. black dye will do the trick. went 2-3 inches up from my normal size so they should fit perfectly.

waiting until next week to get the heroin eraser egg, dims look perfect

@off
I Don’t know yet; I picked them up based on a recommend from here, but I’ve got Bones Swiss in all of my set ups presently, and as you will know, they’re long lived sons-of-balls, so it may be some while before they make it into rotation.
My reason(s) for picking them up, despite a lack of actual need were, again, a rec from the Shoes & Gear board that claimed Bones Swiss like quality, plus they were half the price of Swiss, and I wanted to put some $ towards a small guy while trying something new.
The way these old, reliable Swiss are going though, I may pass from old age before I ever get around to trying the Rockets.
I’ll offer my uneducated opinion once I’ve had the chance to give them a proper testing.
Perhaps somebody HERE can offer a more informed opinion?
Anybody?

Got some Mosaic wheels in 48mm for my never-ending quest for small-but-not-too-small wheels for a football complete.

I had bought these 48mm cheapo Spitfires from Zumiez (shame, shame, I know) but they are super thin. Wanted something wider. Lo and behold, stumbled on these Mosaic wide boiz recently:

The Spitfires look pretty wide, ever considered a 50mm Bones V3? Those wheels are skinny as hell, but the Autobahn Street Slims are even skinner.

How wide are both of those?

Might just be camera angle but they both look wide to super wide!

Most 50mm wheels are around 30mm wide, but I usually get the bigger ones 56mm x 34mm, skate them down some and then they are perfect for width and shape for the smaller setups I have.

And are they conical shaped?

So the Spitfires are conical. 28mm wide, 18mm riding surface.

The Mosaics are conical too, but closer to a Bones conical. 33.5mm wide, 19.5mm riding surface.

Yeah the Spitfires are small everywhere.

I could definitely see them on some other tiny wheel type of board though - bearing covers with lots of axle / nut sticking out.

The others at 33.5 wide sounds about right, or at least more normal for what I skate.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I bought a set of the Spitfire Charger Classics from the local today, and almost all the wheels cores were too big for the bearing to fit into. I took them back to the shop and they got me hooked up with 4 wheels that all fit but had to go through like 3 different sets of wheels to get 4 that all took bearings normally. He mentioned that this has been a consistent issue with those wheels recently. If you're looking into getting a set of these I would wait a bit until DLX figures their shit out.

Interesting!

Putting race reds or something similar in them would work.  They are the bearings with the pre built spacers so there is zero play and the wheels will work fine on that sort of bearing, as I have done this before with other soft wheels which have had the normal bearings move in them.  I know not everyone has access to race reds or other bearings like that, not to mention the thought that if things are not fitting right to start with, I would always wonder what else can go wrong with them.

Two Bakers, Habitat (8.25's) and a pair of Tensor Mag Lights for 85 bucks.

Not sure if it translates to this photo, but Habitat killed it with the shape they chose for the Al Davis board. 90s-ish football shape. Long, pointy nose and nice long tail. Gonna get this gripped up tonight and I'm thinking I might be sticking with this shape for awhile.

Sticking with a shape that was a specialty shape for a rider who is no longer with the company they made it for? May the force be with you.

That shape looks similar to one that element was using in 2018. I picked up 5 of the Boston world champs 8.25 x 32.1, 14.25wb decks last spring for cheap and absolutely love the shape. I still have 3 fresh decks left and one that's setup with a bit of life left in it. I was going to save one just to have a reference in case i ever diy some decks. Would love to find this shape in a 8.5 with a 14.38/14.5 wb, that would be perfect. Flip used that same shape too i think. Does it have a 14.5wb?

Been waiting literally almost a year for these. I limited myself to 5 because I didn't want to completely clean the shop out but I might try to complete the set over time.

Haven't busted out the measuring tape and calipers so no deep dive nerd shit yet but a few initial observations -

- KT board is awesome and pictures don't do it justice.
- Evan Smith is a unique shape, almost symmetrical and very mellow
- seems like they did the "different mold for every graphic" thing again so should be something for everyone

Only really dug into the 2 I bought to skate - Nicholson and Abair. They're not the exact same molds as last time but seem to be following the same general idea - so like the Nicholson is still mellow and the KT is still steep.

Nicholson:

8.25" x 31.6" 14.25wb

7" nose and 6.6"

Like I said it's still mellow but it's not basically just a toy machine this time... More like a quasi this time. Nice wide nose and tail, with very slight tapers on both ends, it's 8.12 at both trucks. I've skated a lot of similar decks so I'm virtually guaranteed to like this.


Abair:

8.25" x 31.75" 14.25"wb

7" nose 6.5" tail

Similar to the Nicholson but not as mellow. Also similar to the last drop but Abair but a little longer and the nose is a bit steeper. Tail is pretty much the same but the nose is significantly steeper and there's a little less fingers of flat. Slight taper to the tail - 8.12 at the back trucks but still 8.25 at the front. I think I'm going to skate this one first because I really like the graphic and it reminds me a little bit of a snack deck I had and really liked.

is this from the ps run?

what are the measurements of the others? figured there would be no 14.0s until pennswood is back in service

They actually didn't have a ton of them (most went out to other shops) so I think theyll probably keep them instore for the locals. Also I may have bought a third of their inventory.

This was a pretty big run though, so I'd imagine most shops that stock scumco will have a few. Keep an eye out this week, they just started shipping them to the shops on Monday so I'm guessing they'll start popping up soon.

@ballintoohard  If you want a steep one, the only steep one I got was the KT 8.25...its a little longer than the others and has a 14.5 wb so if youre cool with longer wb it might be a good one. I think one of the 8.25 is a short, square, and med-steep shape like the team board from the first run. A few months back Nick told me he's going to always keep it in the lineup because that's what he skates which is awesome since it was my favorite from the first run. If it's the same it'll be 8.25" x 31.5" 14.25 wb, but I don't know which graphic it is yet. If the pattern from the first run holds true then the steeper decks will be KT, Ty Beall, and a team board. If I figure out which one it is I'll let you know.

I'm going to post some pics of the Nicholson in the setup thread if anyone wants to see one of these set up.

Just picked up two pairs of these to skate in (buy 1 get 1 half off at the outlet). With shoegoo these have been my favorite lately. Would like to find something a lil more durable, but I don't really like a lot of rubber so I think I'm dreaming.

Honestly, the price for two is chill and I like the consistency of the same shoe. Might dabble with something else in the future.

They have these there which I have considered skating in. The pair I own now are just for chilling. Definitely want to own a second pair regardless. Might be too much rubber around the toe for me tho

Putting the Girl G027 to rest, just couldn't get into it, everything just felt off, nose too short, tail too long, WB too tight, board too short....8.125" feels too thin, 8.25" feelling too wide (stupid I know we're talking 1/8th of a fucking inch here)

Both 8.18" rest of the dims are pretty scarce, especially on the 917; sour is supposed to just under 32" with a 14.2 WB - only other options are FA (WB = too short) or the REALs (WB too long)

From the top of my head.. Have you already tried the Polar 8.25 or the AWS 8.125? Not many options in the 8.18 size. AWS has some sometimes but I haven't tried one of those yet.

I've ridden both yeah, the Polar fucked me on a wrong WB measurement (said it was 14.1" came as 14.fucking35, bullshit). The AWS was a true 8.125; the Sovereign Sect do have an 8.175" stupid rare but has a 14.5" WB...so odd.

I'd go for the REAL 8.18, even with it's 14.3WB if I they'd make in the FULL SE shape they did a year ago or so.

There's a Puig Palace that used to be 8.2" (not 8.25) and the shape made it feel very thin, with a 14.25" the last to drops had the board listed with a 14.5" WB - just don't know who to trust anymore these days; board dims are terribly inconsistent.

Man I understand you so well. The last AWS I had measured exactly 8.125 x 31.75 which was my golden board so far. Website says 32 and most shops have them as 32 length measured. Maybe there are two different lengths for the same 8.125 width?

My next Deck will be a Anti Hero 8.18, with that 14.38 wb (which sounds long for me) and 31.875 width. Til I can find that specific AWS shape again...
Fuckin madness over here ^^

I checked out Diego the Butcher's new company Cleaver.

The AWS/Habitat and QUASI all measure shorter than the dims listed; I always thought it was a PSTIX thing. The 8.25" proto is listed as 32" but it's actually a hair over 31.8" - most shops round up I think (except SPoT, they're usually pretty good).

I'd bite on another 8.2 Palace but not trusting the WB at 14.5" listed on multiple sites...so fuckit, I'll try a Sour and 917 since 8.18" are scarce.

Def don't need a new deck but the local said they had a rough month and the 8.4 AH shape has intrigued me for some time... Should sit well on some Ace 44s. First sub 8.5" board I have had in over a decade.

I had an AH Stranger 8.4 deck with Ace 44s and I can tell you that, for me, it was a great combination

Frank and Fred can probably measure it, but those ones were about right for 8.4 but it was more the 8.5 size that people were saying were not quite that wide, if I recall correctly.

Silver tool: it’s as dope as everyone says it is. If you don’t have one, get one.

They're good but not indestructible, I've had 3 and broken 2. The plastic bits holding the sockets within the tool arent the strongest. Broke 1 trying to remove a stubborn axle nut, broke 1 more from daily use. A full metal tool like the Spitfire one, while basic, is probably going to be the best for longevity.

Couldnt agree with this more, the plastic piece always gives out. I only use the spitfire tool now

I have learned that for nice newish setup or general use those things are amazing, but the second you get anything that is old, rusted, stubborn or a struggle, grab out the old full metal version with the solid head and single piece screwdriver / allen key, because even good brand plastic tools or the welded parts on the allen / screwdriver bit that goes with some tools are just no match.

The other thing you can do if the silver tool does break is grind down the top end into a hex shape (grinder or even just run it along a rough curb on various sides) and mount it to a drill or socket set. I have not done this myself, but I have seen it done and that deck bolt socket part with the thin neck is the best for getting around hangers on Ventures and most other brands easily.

Both 8.18" rest of the dims are pretty scarce, especially on the 917; sour is supposed to just under 32" with a 14.2 WB - only other options are FA (WB = too short) or the REALs (WB too long)

(https://www.companybe.com/cowtown/product_photos/rd_images/rd_SuperSpangs.jpg)(https://www.companybe.com/cowtown/product_photos/rd_images/rd_PALMERCYBERSLICK.jpg)

There is nothing 14.75" on this deck-WB is a tru 14.19" as advertised - measuring 'top' of truck hole to bottom truck hole, isn't even 14.5"...14.19"<->14.75" is a huge gap, moreso when you advertise it with a completely useless sticker; I'd take one look at it in the shop and go nope. Made in Mexico (BBS, dot indent under sticker); slick texture identical to the DLX slicks

Sour also measures true at 8.18" and 14.19"WB

Both are close in length and tail/nose dims, Sour = more tapered in the nose, 917 = full (tails being visually the same shape); 917 is also thick (not counting the slick layer) and noticeably heavy; nice shape, deep concave and kicks, damn near no fingers of flat, kick starts right after the bolts; sour is more mellow, and has a two fingers but a quick upturn kick after that.

Nice to have 8.18" options with smallish WB (for as long as they last) since the DLX boards are always 14.38/14.4WB.

Cool stuff mate. The Girl G023 is a nice shape and I wasn't able yet to break one of these decks. Invite your wife to a nice dinner when she is back.

Post by: Skatebeard on March 07, 2021, 01:25:06 PM
Yeah the G023 is already gripped as well so chances are I'll skate that next for pure convenience. My primitive has started to delam on the nose so I reckon it'll be fairly soon... I've only skated the G027 prior so will be interesting to see how the 23 compares.

Funny enough the shop that sold me the Palace deck messed up my order so it didn't get dispatched/processed for a week..shop guy said he would chuck something in by means of apology, turns out that something was a nice Huf hoody, size smaller than I wear so I'm gifting it to the wife.

Dinner and a new hoody, she picked a good one  :P

Laser engraving on the top of the deck says 'Fried in Europe' so I guess it's Jart? I have no idea. Setting up the 917 first.

Where are you in the world?

I would be curious to see pics of that board, especially the laser engraving, because some of those boards seem to be copies that come from "other places" and when they copy them, they try to get things right, but almost always end up using parts of or weird combinations of the real thing, eg Alien Workshop is on BBS, but Dwindle does the regrowth logo between the back trucks and the board specs between the front trucks, from what I have seen, but the "other" boards seem to only have the regrowth logo between the front trucks.

@rocklobster could give you a bit more info on that one, as he has some, or has seen some in person.

A normal Dwindle board, as per info above:

It's strange my buddy found some Habitat x NASA decks on sale which were launched mid 2019, so way before COVID. He boards he say had the REGROWTH laser stamp but no PS Stix with the top markings and serial numbers. I guess I could understand if they were the pricepoint complete decks but these are the pro model lines, so that raised a few eyebrows. He tried asking the store for pics of the deck to check the top markings but they told him to fuck off, which is never a good sign for a skate shop selling legitimate product.

Doesn't bother me too much that the stock is old, Asia has a lot of dead inventory floating around. Also, Habitat and AWS are way less popular than Baker / Girl, so they are less likely to be the target of China counterfeiters. But still pretty mysterious.

https://store.hlcdist.com/shop-by-brand/

HLC doesn't distribute AWS and Habitat anymore, missing from the page.

I am in Berlin, Germany. Shipping from the US would be around 100$ via the AWS website, which unfortunately isn't a option for me.


top view
(https://i.imgur.com/TLw26v0.jpg)

So that regrowth logo is between the front bolts. No other markings. A barcode sticker which says made in china. On the foil of the graphic side is a little round silver sticker that says "Made with premium north american maple and glue". If that deck is a fake, it is a perfect copy with really good wood and glue. This deck is the Yaje Shelter graphic in 8.125 and before I had a Visitor also in 8.125 which was my golden deck so far.

I only had bad experiences with HLC and MDCN wood and DLX rarely has sizes that I like. Personally, I have no problem with chinese made decks since Mexico and China are both far away when you live in Germany. But yeah, I can understand when someone on here gives me shit for riding chinese decks.

Is @rocklobster around with more info?

That is definitely interesting and does not look like a cheap copy, but also to point out, "other woodshops" are not necessarily bad, so sure it is made in China from one of the many woodshops there, maybe Dwindle, from someone who doesn't want them to be branded as a Dwindle board (like NHS boards) so they minimise the branding and pump out these for the European market.

Does it feel like Dwindle in the concave of the wood?

As someone else said, AWS and Habitat are no longer under the umbrella of the main distro in EU, so most likely they split and went their own way.

Does that Sour board feel like a Dwindle?

I thought some were, but I have not seen them so do not know.  Also I took the "Fried in Europe" to mean the brand or thought originated in Europe, the same way that other Dwindle boards have "Designed in California" on them.


The other curious thing to note is that Regrowth logo is just a printed logo on the Almost deck, not laser etched, which is why I wonder if they change it depending on when the decks are made or even if other woodshops in China have copied that to put on their own.  Not a worry either way, but it is interesting to see, especially from here in Australia, compared to the US market, or the EU market.

The other curious thing to note is that Regrowth logo is just a printed logo on the Almost deck, not laser etched, which is why I wonder if they change it depending on when the decks are made or even if other woodshops in China have copied that to put on their own.  Not a worry either way, but it is interesting to see, especially from here in Australia, compared to the US market, or the EU market.


I've not set it up yet, but the 'fit and finish' does not resemble a DSM board; the sour's routered edge is rough in spots, DSM boards are baby bottom smooth everytime.

Which woodshop does Sour use in the US?
In Europe it's HLC and I can't support those Jart people.
Finally found a 8.125 AWS with 31.75 length and 14.25 wb. I am stoked to say the least. Seems to be from the Dwindle factory due to that regrowth laser engraving but I never had problems with Dwindle wood. Might get some shit here for that statement haha

Where are you in the world?

I would be curious to see pics of that board, especially the laser engraving, because some of those boards seem to be copies that come from "other places" and when they copy them, they try to get things right, but almost always end up using parts of or weird combinations of the real thing, eg Alien Workshop is on BBS, but Dwindle does the regrowth logo between the back trucks and the board specs between the front trucks, from what I have seen, but the "other" boards seem to only have the regrowth logo between the front trucks.

@rocklobster could give you a bit more info on that one, as he has some, or has seen some in person.

A normal Dwindle board, as per info above:


(https://www.surfstitch.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-ss-master-catalog/default/dw09e0353f/images/10023695BLU/BLUE-BOARDSPORTS-SKATE-ALMOST-DECKS-10023695BLU_1.JPG)
[close]

I am in Berlin, Germany. Shipping from the US would be around 100$ via the AWS website, which unfortunately isn't a option for me.


top view
(https://i.imgur.com/TLw26v0.jpg)

So that regrowth logo is between the front bolts. No other markings. A barcode sticker which says made in china. On the foil of the graphic side is a little round silver sticker that says "Made with premium north american maple and glue". If that deck is a fake, it is a perfect copy with really good wood and glue. This deck is the Yaje Shelter graphic in 8.125 and before I had a Visitor also in 8.125 which was my golden deck so far.

I only had bad experiences with HLC and MDCN wood and DLX rarely has sizes that I like. Personally, I have no problem with chinese made decks since Mexico and China are both far away when you live in Germany. But yeah, I can understand when someone on here gives me shit for riding chinese decks.

Is @rocklobster around with more info?

Hey dude I replied above with the info I got.

"It's strange my buddy found some Habitat x NASA decks on sale which were launched mid 2019, so way before COVID. He boards he say had the REGROWTH laser stamp but no PS Stix with the top markings and serial numbers. I guess I could understand if they were the pricepoint complete decks but these are the pro model lines, so that raised a few eyebrows. He tried asking the store for pics of the deck to check the top markings but they told him to fuck off, which is never a good sign for a skate shop selling legitimate product.

Doesn't bother me too much that the stock is old, Asia has a lot of dead inventory floating around. Also, Habitat and AWS are way less popular than Baker / Girl, so they are less likely to be the target of China counterfeiters. But still pretty mysterious.

https://store.hlcdist.com/shop-by-brand/

HLC doesn't distribute AWS and Habitat anymore, missing from the page."

Given the pics you shared it looks like its DSM pressed but they omitted the Resin-7 card they usually stick along the side. Zero was pressed at DSM until fairly recently, and I've seen smaller local brands get pressed at DSM with the REGROWTH engraving on there.

If you check out the Habitat or AWS website it's all over the place with the top marking. Inconsistent markings on pro / team boards with the PS Stix markings or none at all.

Bought the eS Silo SC and Quattro. Both have the same "SC" sole.
First run of Quattro re release said go 0.5 size up. I got the Black/White, which was from the second drop of this model. I went with 0.5 up and I'm glad I did, even though eS doesn't list it on their site for the two NEW colors to go 0.5 up.

My impression for this new SC (Special Concept) sole at the moment is to go 0.5 up UNLESS eS discloses that they've changed the way the last fits going forward. Similar to how NB# shared that X models from Y year onward are now TTS, etc.

I haven't skated either shoes yet but they feel solid on foot. Fairly flexible but not a super thin sole. A good middle ground. Hoping that translates to when I skate em!

May post photos later if anyone wants to see em.

Silver tool: it’s as dope as everyone says it is. If you don’t have one, get one.
[close]

They're good but not indestructible, I've had 3 and broken 2. The plastic bits holding the sockets within the tool arent the strongest. Broke 1 trying to remove a stubborn axle nut, broke 1 more from daily use. A full metal look like the Spitfire one, while basic, is probably going to be the best longevity.
[close]
Couldnt agree with this more, the plastic piece always gives out. I only use the spitfire tool now
[close]

I have learned that for nice newish setup or general use those things are amazing, but the second you get anything that is old, rusted, stubborn or a struggle, grab out the old full metal version with the solid head and single piece screwdriver / allen key, because even good brand plastic tools or the welded parts on the allen / screwdriver bit that goes with some tools are just no match.

The other thing you can do if the silver tool does break is grind down the top end into a hex shape (grinder or even just run it along a rough curb on various sides) and mount it to a drill or socket set. I have not done this myself, but I have seen it done and that deck bolt socket part with the thin neck is the best for getting around hangers on Ventures and most other brands easily.

deck bolt socket is bad on the silver tool
definitely not hard enough (went through two silver tools in a short time at the shop, never again)
it doesn't get around venture lows AND his and this is what makes the hex transform into a flower shape (the neck is thin but the base of the socket is too big and venture hangers shape makes it crooked on the bolt
works fine on most brands but not on Venture

Re wheels - 97 are grippier and a fraction softer than 99 in durometer.

Toy have been one of the brands that seemed to get wood from anywhere during covid, which is why I asked.  Interesting all the same.

Also just checking, those Spitfires were both 99 from the packaging in the pic with the decks, so did you have some others that were 97 or something else?

There should be all the details on the inside ring of the wheel on the side with the swirl graphic, including the words Spitfire formula four classic 54mm 99duro or whatever it says.

Then you can really see any differences, even if you only ride one setup.

I have a couple of setups the same, just different hardness wheels, so I skate the one set of 97s on the rough ground, or really slippery surfaces, then the normal 99 for everything else.

I bought a pair of Lynx OG for ~$35, i like them now very much. For some reason give me so much confidence to skate much faster and try whatever. Doesn't feel as chunky as they look, actually can feel my board just fine (but i usually skate pretty beefy shoes like etnies marana)

the issue is i do not own baggy enough of a pant to look cool wearing them which is totally fine because i skate in the middle of nowhere by myself most of the time, and with warmer weather approaching i will have very sweaty feet

I got drunk Saturday and called kinetic on the phone and harassed the poor kid working there. I bought a bunch of shit without knowing what any of it looks like so when it gets here I'll be surprised. I also bought a board and a shirt from nj skateshop.

If anyone was curious of what I bought when I drunk dialed kinetic and made the whoever answered the phone describe everything in the store to me:

I bought a kinetic hat that looks like the 76ers logo.
I bought another kinetic hat that looks like the 76ers logo in another color
I bought a blue kinetic beanie
I bought a hoodie that looks like the Dead Kennedy's fresh fruit for rotting vegetables record in medium (I'm a large)
I bought a kinetic shirt with a grim reaper on it that I must have loved the description the employee gave me so much that I bought two of the exact same colorway in the exact same size, I guess in case I spill food or something all over one I have another.
Some 5.8 ventures (Honestly good looking out kinetic employee, I was not paying attention to anything I was ordering so he must of confirmed the size I needed)
Some reds.

It was a lovely silly surprise when it arrived at my door. Honestly, when I opened it i just saw the one t shirt and then another of the exact same tshirt underneath it so I thought I just bought a couple hundred bucks of the same exact shirt over and over again and it was just a box of identical shirts. I'm happier that wasn't the case but I wouldn't be super mad if that did happen because I thought it was hilarious.

Aside from this and the board and shop shirt from NJ Skateshop, I bought a sheet of jessup, some bolts, 58mm F4 OJ Classics Spitfires and an iPath preview summer 2005 sweatshirt from Seasons in Albany.

The last Half Cabs I had were the Syndicate Cab Lites in 2013. Last actual Half Cabs I had were either in 2005/2006. They feel great, but the collar sits right at the bottom of a screw head I have in my fibula. I hope they break in enough for it to not be noticeable. Worst case scenario is that I’ll try and trim the padding down a little bit

Ugh I am kind of embarrassed to post my consumerism here....

3.5x12 Keen Mini ramp. Weather-coated birch, capped back, railings.
Keen slappy pad/box
Keen banked bar

Hardgoods:

Just in the last few days I bought CODA ConcGod x2 9" decks, a CODA shirt and a dad hat.

Magenta sent me a 20% off thing.....so I bought a large mystery box of clothes/accessories, 8.8" deck, and 53mm wheels.

Other bits, the stuff necessary to turn one of my natas boards into a complete (Ace 66s, Spit classic 58s, G3s)
Upgraded my vans to the new skate ones, but that might have been a mistake...sooooo stiff.

idk. I need to stop spending money. Until Spring Polar drops.

post up those decks! Curious to see shapes of the 9”  and 8.8”

Good point about polar spring.. they’ve teased on IG right? When does that usually drop at skate shops?

I am on a CODA 9" now and fucking love the shape, thats why I wanted two more immediately in case they go out. The nose and tail arent as full as say, a polar 9" but I really like the concave and the wheelbase is slightly longer at 14.75. (compared to polars 14.5) I have no idea what to expected with the Magenta. I just really like the brand so I thought eh fuck it.

I’ve had a keen mini for a year. It’s been good. Impact drill and a friend make the assembly go easier. I wish I had more space or a garage. I’d go full backyard park easily.

I hear you. My son and I built our last very shitty 2x7 ramp together, well 50% of it we built together.
Honestly I didnt wanna fuck around this time. I had Cory and his team come install it.

Bluetile Lounge Shop Deck 8.25
Bones Reds
Doh-Dohs Medium Hard 88a
[close]

have this on the wall
blue tile has the best shapes
[close]

damn those shapes are mad sexy. anyone know the woodshop?
[close]

I read somewhere here that they are bbs.  It was someone mentioning blue tile and nine times as Canadian shop decks by bbs.  I’ve eyed them up, but no personal experience yet.

No idea who presses it. I really like the shape though and it feels nice concave wise. I’m just getting back into skating so I don’t have the experience that most have here when it comes to who pressed it and those details. But been skating around a bit recently now that it’s nice again and it feels solid.

Worst case scenario is that I’ll try and trim the padding down a little bit

ayeeee. I hope they work out. I recently traded a Pal (good lookin out ArtHellman) a pair of NB440 hi, for some half cabs that had been ollied in a couple times and he threw in a pair of brand new AVEs. I'm stoked to be back in half cabs for the first time in over a decade. Feeling super comfy, especially with the SB insole he included. I'm still not able to skate much, but I went out and did some no complies and stalls, and after wearing only cupsole for the past few months I've been back in skating, I'm definitely understanding the board feel I was missing out on... hooray for half cabs  :o ;D

I first bought shoes off ArtHellman 15 or so years ag when he sold me multiple pairs of rare/expensive Dunks for cost because I wanted to skate them. He has consistently been the shoe sale/trade MVP of the message boards

It's pretty rad but honestly havent skated it a ton but if you want to sharpen up your slappies its pretty rad. I think what I like best about it as its a 3-in-1 obstacle where really any side part of it can be hella fun. I also cant FS slappy for shit and I think itll help me. Just know while it has the handgrips and they shortened it from 6' to 5', it is really heavy and cumbersome, I use a hand truck to get it around to the parking lot across the street. The coping is fast and it feels bulletproof overall.

I hate my OCD so much.
Just bought some 55mm Dial Tone wheels and some random magenta clothes and zines and stuff from TOA so I could get the free shipping. Why does my OCD matter? I am trying to find the sweet spot in wheel size again where I can run no risers, (and definitely no rails) on my singular setup that I do everything on. Gonna have to get ceramic bearings too. The biggest thing I skate is a 5' bowl on a regular basis but I want no excuses for losing speed.

More PScumcos. Got all of then although I need another nicholson to have a full wall set since I set that one up. If anyone wants a full nerd writeup on any of them let me know. Quick summary of these two, this is from memory so might be slightly off

8.37 Epsom salts - long as fuck, like 32.5 tip to tip. I'd call it a medium mold with a med-mellow tail and med nose.. seems to be the same as the skee skate one

8.37 Ty Beall - not deep and steep like Beall decks usually seem to be, this one's also medium but a bit mellower. Really good shape, might skate it some day.

Those who look at the setup thread may recall that I recently started skating an 8.25 Evan Smith scumco guest board and I have to say that it's hands down one of the best decks I've ever tried. It's got a mellow square tail that is easy to pop and amazing and a big but mellow squaround nose (kinda like a quasi) that keeps flip tricks under control and easy to flick. It's pretty close to my ideal shape and dimensions. I've bought 3 more since I started skating it.. Definitely hoarding these jawns.

HIGHLY recommend it to older dudes and people who like mellower shapes. The 8.25 was really hard to find at first but they're trickling into more shops now... I know FA Skates and library skate shop have a couple.

ayyeee let us know how it feels. I kinda wanna grab one but I've got too many decks right now lol.


I've been on a rampage this winter, homies.

got a Cardiel "Maps" deck and the Lance Mountain Cardiel deck to add to the wall. Always an inspiration

got a Toy Machine football from @Buttfart Rapedick  for the cost of shipping. very kind dude, very strange deck but I'm gonna fuck with it.

traded my 2nd pair of NB440hi for a pair of Half Cabs and AVEs from @art hellman. I was fucking around with cupsoles, and I like them enough, but I think I'm back on the half cab team for now. nice and wide toe box!

bought some hollow indy 159s from @AngryBlackMan and they're feeling groovy

Just set up a Gangemi Orchard 8.5. Curious to see how it skates tomorrow. Definitely feels different than the BBS shop deck I've been riding.

got one of those orchard bomb Mission Hill shirts and a shirt from Ampt, the local shop here in town today

got a pair of sweatpants from Solstice in New Bedford, MA. big ups to New Beige. 508 baby

oh ya, grabbed a Indy T tool today too. sick of carrying a ratchet everywhere.

Thanks man. I live in Southern California. We've actually had a lot of rain in the last two weeks since I got it, so it's been completely tarped. It takes  40x20 tarp to get it over the railings, but it fits into a Rubbermaid chest and out of the way. Forecast looks good for the next two weeks so I took it off yesterday and have been skating it. Had a fun sesh with my friend tonight. I am still learning proper transition skating but its coming quickly having my own ramp.

I found an Antihero Cardiel compete with some loved but skateboard Reynolds 149s for $30 at the Goodwill. I took it apart, cleaned and removed a ton of rust from the trucks, tapped all the threads, replaced all the bolts, and reassembled. Also salvaged some Bones Reds bearings, but the well worn deck and wheels were left at the skatepark for a local grom

8.0s.
You must have gotten the decks from the latest batch. RG said the only 14wb decks they had were are the 8.0s from the previous clutch order, of which he had these 4 left.  Can you tell which shop your decks are from? i dont think he wants to source from multiple places but had to due to covid

I have been struggling to find a pair of shorts i like the fit of and those look super solid. I'm 6'6 so that length would probably work well for me. What were the exact measurements? I always thought the artforms were super baggy.

Those look wicked nice, I got some cargo pants from them today. I love them but I should of sized down. They seem like great quality especially for the price.
 I also ordered a 8" polar deck, pretty excited about that.

As said, they are the pricepoint decks, which are a cheaper version of the same shapes and concaves.

Are the ones you have all plain / natural wood stain or are they at least top stained?

I have found that the ones that have all natural ply layers often just do not hold up compared to even the ones with the one top colour, so for anyone who goes hard on their board, or breaks boards, I would stay with the pro wood and not the pricepoint decks.

And what size did you get?

I don't know what component is different on the cheap decks, but one can surmise that every stop of the process is like to be cheapened and shortened in order to get you a $40 Krooked

Skate stock. Wall ones are packed away with the ones from the first PS series. This Evan Smith shape is just a pleasure to skate. I really don't understand why every woodshop doesn't have a truly mellow mold in terms of both concave and kicks. Making the tail less steep makes a deck so much easier to get off the ground and it really doesn't take that much away in terms of pop. PS has it down to a science (no pun intended) and everyone I know that's tried this shape loves it.

Can’t get wheels without some fresh bearings, copped some big balls to pair up with the wheels.

Library BTW is quick on the ship tip. Got the message it was sent a few hours after I placed it. Pumped. 5 bucks ain’t bad.

Skating an old Anti-hero I've had it in the backlog in this shape and finally enjoying it (the WB always felt too tight before); note they both actually measures 31.5 and is somewhere between 8.25 and 8.28 (typical of DLX these days)

To get myself down to a smaller WB, I took the slow approach, over the last couple of months I've gradually switched to using tight WB trucks (indy/Tensor/ML) on old decks I've had lying around, 14.25" WB, then down to 14.18", now 14.12" (there was a 14" WB I jumped straight to and didn't like it); I would switch the board up each week to downsize (for the most part they were all generally the same shape and dimensions).

My hope is to get down to a 14" WB when the TiMindys drop.

You'll also note that the Roman Numerals are gone:

Mason talks about this shape in his latest Nine Club. He explained that it’s actually 8.25 and it has a shorter wheelbase than the one on the tag. The reason is so that people don’t confuse it with their regular 8.25 boards.

got some sets of the Real 3ply risers. Haven't skated risers since I was a little kid and I'm frickin stoked on these things after one session. I skate loose to the point where kingpin nut is finger tight with washers on. wheel bite often tosses me when coming off curbs at 155lbs. no bite tonite!!! never thought 1/8th inch would make such a difference. no negative impact in pop or landing either

To get myself down to a smaller WB, I took the slow approach, over the last couple of months I've gradually switched to using tight WB trucks (indy/Tensor/ML) on old decks I've had lying around, 14.25" WB, then down to 14.18", now 14.12" (there was a 14" WB I jumped straight to and didn't like it); I would switch the board up each week to downsize (for the most part they were all generally the same shape and dimensions).

My hope is to get down to a 14" WB when the TiMindys drop.

You'll also note that the Roman Numerals are gone:

Oddly, the last 3 decks I've ordered (3 different companies and woodshops) all came with an orange top ply, which I've always been fond of.

I got 2 of the mason deck. One of them had the roman numerals and measured 8.28 with 14.12WB, and the other had no roman numerals and measured 8.25 with 14.25WB . Weird, sold the one with no roman numeral stamp on ebay

why do the krroked $40 decks with eyeballs all over print suck so much?

The shape is good but it just feels so hollow. I bought 2, the first one lost pop so quick, im sure the 2nd will as well.

Have I hurt you before?&#128557;


And to the person taht asked; It was 8.38 one had green stain the other had no stain.

I am glad, personally, that your boards sucked. What an asshole.

Skate stock. Wall ones are packed away with the ones from the first PS series. This Evan Smith shape is just a pleasure to skate. I really don't understand why every woodshop doesn't have a truly mellow mold in terms of both concave and kicks. Making the tail less steep makes a deck so much easier to get off the ground and it really doesn't take that much away in terms of pop. PS has it down to a science (no pun intended) and everyone I know that's tried this shape loves it.
[close]


Your boy pressing any bigger boards yet?

Not in the PS ones, biggest I've seen of those are 8.5. Pennswood runs usually have some 8.75. I have an 8.75 logo deck that I bought solely because it was black stain/gold logo. I've tried to skate it a few times but between it being a half inch wider than I'm used to and having a 14" wb it just feels totally alien to me haha.

Got my prize fighter wheels the other day and the fine gentleman that runs it must have known about my DOA worship because he tossed in an extremely cool sticker. I took that (and the colors matching) as a sign and set them up on one of my favorite setups, an 8.12 DOA "flat as fuck" toe tag with cherry red top and bottom plys. I think it might be the best looking deck I own and it's a particularly mellow one (even for an e mold/flat as fuck) so I baby it and only skate it when I feel like treating myself. Love this setup.

Bought one of these antihero shirts even though I stopped skating their boards after kanfoush wallied a bum :-\ Got a baker board that I'll post whenever I set it up, it's the 8.5, 14.5 32 OG shape w mellow concave and it is virtually identical to the alltimers board I'm skating right now, also BBS. I've probably skated this shape or something very close to it from four or five different brands at this point. Just funny because chances are it originated from antihero anyway

That is the first set of those I have seen anywhere (other than the stock / catalog pics).

They already seem to be in very short supply, according to a few others I have talked to.

A bit of both - something along the lines of "demand exceeded production in unprecedented levels" for all DLX hardgoods, so I guess more people want them than ever, but they are still trying to catch up from covid issues.


I still haven't heard if those other 97s in the info are just the normal Classic or OG classic though...

Not a worry to me either way, but I know people would love a 97 OG classic!

interesting. Hopefully they adjust their production/orders in the near future if they see the demand for 97a. I’m loving my 97a 54mm classics.  I’d like to try the 56mm and I think I’d rather have the conical full over og classics. Either way though, I’d take either

So yeah, this is the Large mystery box from Magenta. Everything here is XL.
The reg price on this is 150 euro. (175ish US) but Magenta sent out a discount code about a month ago and I used that, 20% off, bringing it down to 125 Euro (147ish US). I also bought an 8.875 board and some 53mm wheels to make the shipping a bit more worth it. Here's what I got:

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51002205150_968673c71e_k.jpg)

2 XL SS tees (the ash and green - 35 euro each, so 70 euro)
1 XL LS tee (white - 50 euro)
1 XL Crew Neck (red - 75 euro)
1 XL coaches jacket (115 euro)
key chain (10 euro)
sticker pack (15 euro)
patch pack (25 euro)
DVD (13 euro)
Coin/Weed purse (this style not on their site)

As you can see, that is roughly 375 euro worth of product...not fucking bad...would def do it again. Big fan of Soy and Magenta.

Lol I know.  I’m thinking it maybe has something to do with production getting logjammed with Covid and him not having an official board sponsor for so long that they’re all out at the same time. 

The shape looks pretty interesting.  Pretty pointy and tapered at the ends; almost a football with straight sides.  Eager to try it out

That is the first set of those I have seen anywhere (other than the stock / catalog pics).

They already seem to be in very short supply, according to a few others I have talked to.

like selling out before they even hit shelves? Or just didn’t make that many?

A bit of both - something along the lines of "demand exceeded production in unprecedented levels" for all DLX hardgoods, so I guess more people want them than ever, but they are still trying to catch up from covid issues.


I still haven't heard if those other 97s in the info are just the normal Classic or OG classic though...

Not a worry to me either way, but I know people would love a 97 OG classic!

interesting. Hopefully they adjust their production/orders in the near future if they see the demand for 97a. I’m loving my 97a 54mm classics.  I’d like to try the 56mm and I think I’d rather have the conical full over og classics. Either way though, I’d take either
[close]
asked for the shipment date a week ahead, figured they would be gone immediately.

was the only set they had (left?) in the glass. couldve been more in the back but i wouldnt bet on it

Tactics has 97s in 54 and 56 rn

Copped some bolts at the local. The dude automaticly handed me Diamond Supply allen heads which was fine for me. He told me they don't even stock Phillips heads anymore. I also needed speed rings. They had none for sale but he rummaged around in his toolbox for a while to give me his 4 last (used) speed rings for free.   8)

Included speed rings are wonky as fuck shape-wise, I have not seen such low quality speed rings before (you can see how off they are in the pic) they are almost oblong shaped but seem to be flat which is all that matters. I think the ring is wider overall - compared to stock thunder and indy washers for sure - and seems to be made to cover/overlap the entire inner race. Nit picking here.

They follow the 'balls out' design of all Bronson's. Thin red line faces out.

Set them up in spit tablets, no issues with the spacers being too wide, bearings sit flush in their seats. Minimal play inside for the spacer.

First roll, they're smooth and really quiet, but it's going to be a while before they break in; will report back.

Not having the case's lid click to lock into place is really annoying, it just falls off unless you store it upright = rubber band to the rescue; I've got the bones bearing cleaning kit so I doubt I will ever use this to clean anything (but I will store cleaned bearings in it).

Super good initial feedback. Thank you. My shop hooked me up with a BCU and while pretty nifty and handy, I fully agree that the lack of snap-on or clasp for the lid is a really stupid oversight. Thanks again and keep the updates coming!!!!

If you don't want to pay 50 cents a bolt, you can order 1" allen bulk from pretty much any hardware/industrial supply company. For a while grainger had boxes of 100 for like 45 cents but I think they're sold out now (I may have bought 8 boxes), but even full price is only a couple bucks per hundred. Nuts are sometimes not easy to get a good deal on but they're cheap anyways... just look for #10 nylock nuts.

Here's the ones I got a bunch of -

https://www.grainger.com/product/4XY14?RIID=54198148675&GID=&mid=OrderConfirmation&rfe=37f9818468eb09ea2005f965e8cec3aa74ddf544798e93697a14a5963a5f7c99&gucid=EMT:10339122:Item:CSM-323&emcid=NA:Item

Besides the amazing price they have a wider head than most skate hardware which keeps things nice and tight since they don't work their way down into the holes over time. If you really want colors you can color them with a paint marker or nail polish.

Rubs me the wrong fucking way too. So tired of this shit.

Not that I condone it, but there's a pretty big difference between kicking flipping over a bum sleeping in the middle of the spot and doing a wallie off one (which is what the initial post made it sound like). People have been doing that pretty much since street skating started and I think it was even a challenge in THPS or one of those games.

Impulse ordered a dane 1 while drunk from tactics, so I'll probably get a surf from my local when they're available to even out my karmic balance later.

I know dudes get weird about red stains, but I was riding a yellow top stain when I broke my arm, so those are the ones I get superstitious about. I was also excited to find out that they have jessup ultra now, so I can finally have the shoe destroying capabilities of mob, with the weird crinkly-ness of jessup.

Got my hands on a lightly used pair of Venture 5.6 Titanium from @Xen and they are my dream Venture. 318g is the nice weight to pair with 8.25 boards, Thunder Titanium are a touch too light and the baseplate on my pair if so worn out that I'm sliding almost entirely on my wheels. May revive it with a Team baseplate if I can a spare.

Maybe it's different in the U.S., but the brown ones sat unsold at shops in Canada for a while (some still have them in stock), and the new grey ones appear to be doing the same. I think you could easily get a pair of these for retail price with a few minutes of googling if you wanted them. They're either not as limited as they were for the first couple releases, or nobody is into them.

I also saw the brown ones and the grey ones available for msrp or lower in my size yesterday. I think the first few runs were harder to come by and now that they've put out I think 4 colorways in the past 2 years they've cooled of a bit. I wish they were clearer about what they were for when they put them out. To me, they were pitched like a tribute shoe for chilling and I've never been clear on how skateable they are. They look alright but since I never held one in my hand I just kept it moving.

Arrived yesterday, super stoked since is the first pair of Half cabs for me in over 1 decade.
Ofc with white laces.

got me a pair in trade recently, also first pair in a very long while. homie sent em with some SB insoles, which were nice, but I took a pair of insoles out of some èS accels and it's upped the half cab comfort game to unprecedented levels  :o

enjoy em

Got all excited and ordered 2 Jack O’Grady decks from Humidity in early February.  One 8”, the other 8.38” (I skate decks between 8.12-8.25). 

They finally shipped them two weeks ago after harassing them and getting no response.  Why it took 6 weeks I don’t know.  When they finally got in touch with me I was reprimanded for emailing them instead of calling because they are understaffed and don’t have time to check their email. 

Pretty frustrating experience and I ended up with 2 decks in sizes that I don’t even skate.  One will be a wall board I suppose. 

TL;DR: I made an impulse buy that didn’t work out in any way.  At least I supported my boy Jack in some small way.

Any business that doesn't check/reply to emails is seriously blowing it. Once I emailed a doctor's office once because I needed to verify an appointment date and never got a response. I believe I tried calling but the line was busy. So I missed the appointment, was told over the phone that "We don't check our emails" and that I needed to pay $50 to reschedule. Like you want me to pay for your lack of communication? I just said fuck it and looked for another doctor.

whatever you do keep it wrapped up

had some decks "on ice" and made the mistake of gripping them. wasted a week testing them lightly, at least i figured out what was staying set up and what was going to storage

Set them up and buy more. And then just keep doing that.

At one point I had a stack of probably 30 decks that I had set up and either not liked or just lost interest in and I don't think any of them had more than 4-5 sessions worth of wear. I've gotten better about it as I've refined and narrowed the scope of what I like and most of what I skate now stays in a fairly tidy box. It definitely helps that my two favorite companies both have shapes that I love (half of the scumco PS shapes and DOA flat as fuck) so I haven't been buying as many decks lately.

-Transportation Unit "Oohhohoho Pelliccannnn" x2 (Ive never ridden the super tanker shape but I am stupid and stupid with money so I bought two)
-Slimeballs Guts in 56mm and 53mm (I swap wheels for my mini ramp and street, then back to the 56 for park/bowl)
-Bronson Raws for the 53mm, Ceramics for the 56mm (like I said, stupid/stupid)
-Some Plague hardware, my Bender order isnt here yet, but I had this from a Shrunken Head PDX order
-no name no branding risers!! fuck yeah!!!
-Mob of course.

the real question....set it up and skate it with the slightly worn, plenty of life, nicely broken in 55 Classics in the photo? or hold out for full-blown Christmas Complete and AF1 66s?

Please report back your thoughts. Thinking about ordering some shortly.

Included speed rings are wonky as fuck shape-wise, I have not seen such low quality speed rings before (you can see how off they are in the pic) they are almost oblong shaped but seem to be flat which is all that matters. I think the ring is wider overall - compared to stock thunder and indy washers for sure - and seems to be made to cover/overlap the entire inner race. Nit picking here.

They follow the 'balls out' design of all Bronson's. Thin red line faces out.

Set them up in spit tablets, no issues with the spacers being too wide, bearings sit flush in their seats. Minimal play inside for the spacer.

First roll, they're smooth and really quiet, but it's going to be a while before they break in; will report back.

Not having the case's lid click to lock into place is really annoying, it just falls off unless you store it upright = rubber band to the rescue; I've got the bones bearing cleaning kit so I doubt I will ever use this to clean anything (but I will store cleaned bearings in it).
[close]

Super good initial feedback. Thank you. My shop hooked me up with a BCU and while pretty nifty and handy, I fully agree that the lack of snap-on or clasp for the lid is a really stupid oversight. Thanks again and keep the updates coming!!!!

They've broken in it feels like, much faster, a little louder but....that's about it really. If I had to guess this is more of a few months of wear and tera scenario. So far so good though.

I gave my brother Bryan this sweatshirt right before he was killed. I had just seen them again. What a show. He may have been buried in it.

Tons of outstanding gear right now on this thread.

My stuff came today. I'm pretty frickin stoked. I haven't had Chukka boots in so long. I'm set on footwear for the summer months I believe.

Originally planned on skating a Primitive 8in deck but I didn't like how mellow it was + the graphic was transfered upside down on the deck so that would of really fucked with my gear ocd trying to figure out the nose from tail. Long story short ended up coming upon this Real Chima deck in a Vans store while returning some shoes. It's stamped 2 in the stack.

My second 8.28
Setting up the tt shortly with the 97a, but I am torn between ace 44s or 8.25 tensor atg.  It's number IV on the stack, and looks pretty mellow.  The kid has aces and I love cruising on his board, but the tensors grind so bloody well.  I do wish the atgs were a touch lower, too.  Mostly plan on curb crushing with this set up, and maybe try out the ledges I've been prepping up.  Thoughts?

Setting up the tt shortly with the 97a, but I am torn between ace 44s or 8.25 tensor atg.  It's number IV on the stack, and looks pretty mellow.  The kid has aces and I love cruising on his board, but the tensors grind so bloody well.  I do wish the atgs were a touch lower, too.  Mostly plan on curb crushing with this set up, and maybe try out the ledges I've been prepping up.  Thoughts?

Lol if it's any consolation I got that Ishod shape with a Mason graphic last year
Ha no shit! I very rarely order from the big evil empire's, but this time I did and it will be my last.

not at all. It’s just something to goof around on and help warm up with minimal effort(I’m in my 30’s). It breaks apart and I can stash it in my car without it taking up too much room


Also forgot I got a set of 55’s for a cruiser

i would recommended finding a way to stretch out those slips because they are fucking STIFF for like 2 weeks. Old skools are pretty nice out the box. no real issues with those

Do you guys wear the same size laces and slip ons?  I wear a 10.5 Old Skool, and I couldn't even get my foot in a size 12 slip on...

Yes I wear the same size but the new skate slips are pretty stiff as Slugboi22 mentioned. Oddly enough, although they were harder to get on the first time, it was a shorter break in time then pro slips. Those used to be a 2 week wear around mandatory.

Ricta clouds 92a 54mm. Perfect wheel for rough roads.
Was on OJ Keyframes previously which were great but were a touch too bouncy.
It was either these or the OJ Nomads.

wouldn’t recommend 92a at a park. The soft urethane will slow you down. I’ve found this from rising 95a on a smooth tennis court. Feels strange

Randomly sent it on a 8.5 Doomsayers deck that looked nice when I went in to my local, and turns out it is the exact same shape as my 8.5 Fitzgerald Hockey deck. Deck is a lot lighter overall, which is great IMO, but definitely was not expecting this.

The Doomsayers was actually PS i'm pretty sure, it had the PS# on it. maybe i just lucked out on the shape similarity if Hockey is 100% BBS produced currently?

I guess it depends how old the Hockey board was, as both have been on PS Stix in the past, and it would be PS Stix if it had the SN# PS 4848484 on it.

Either way it is a good one.

Well, the local was running pretty low with no proper sized BBS shop decks and limited DLX so I went online Friday and ordered from 35th Ave. Shit arrived today, Monday. Free shipping and priority mail arrival times is pretty sweet. Scooped an 8.5 shop deck and wanted to try a Polar shape and went with this surf JR. Looks like a fun, not flat cruiser/curber and I'm hyped on the wheel wells.

Bones Swiss 6 busted, maybe due to a bent axle, maybe from slipped axle, maybe counterfeit. I don't know, but ordered some Quantum Isotopes to try out

8.25 Kyle Nicholson and 8.37 Ty Beall scumco decks

Got slightly spooked by Scumco getting new boards from Control (my least favorite wood) so I stocked up a bit more since I'd imagine it'll be at least another year before we see more PS boards from them. I forgot to take a pic of the graphic and I've already set the Ty Beall up so these are just the tops but neither of these graphics are favorites from this run anyways. These two came from Holistic, which is one of my favorite shops to order from since JD is super attentive and takes time to measure, photograph, and fulfill any other weird madness related requests I may have. He's also a lakai rep so they've always got a great selection of shoes in stock. Definitely one of the best shops out there in my opinion.



No pic but I also got another Evan Smith 8.25 from Radio. I've got 3 on ice now so that should hopefully last until the next PS run where they'll hopefully use this shape again. It really is one of the best shapes I've ever skated. There might be one more 8.25 at Radio (they had 2) if none of the locals grabbed it, so if you like full/square shapes with mellow kicks I'd suggest grabbing it before my madness flares up again.

This ranks above my AWS Moon Pop deck (signed by all Mindfield riders), DGK '93 Til deck and Populis deck signed by Kenny Reed in 2020.

Also picked up 2 Santa Cruz Everslicks and a Girl 8.25 Pop Secret on clearance because I'm a sucker for tech-gimmkery. The Girl deck was a happy accident, ordered a regular 8.25 and only noticed the carbon fiber strips when I was packing it away.

I skate all different sizes for some reason. Probably counter productive but whatever. I haven't tried the surf but I will this Summer hopefully. I dug for that 9" pop and eventually one popped up on Parade. I have some 55 Aces coming for that and I can't fucking wait. My frustration/anxiety of another Spring snowstorm made for a really productive 420 homey

Went into my skateshop to grab risers and ended up copping Justin Henry’s pro board

Some of my new toys came in, and then it snowed 10"
56mm 97a Full Conicals
8.5 FA
9.0 Polar Alv
[close]

moving back up to bigger boards??? I got a polar surf jr that I ended up hanging on the wall  :o but I like the way it feels. where'd you find a polar regular shape 9? can't find one anywhere.

also, 10' snow for 420. hell ya. ha ha ha
[close]
I skate all different sizes for some reason. Probably counter productive but whatever. I haven't tried the surf but I will this Summer hopefully. I dug for that 9" pop and eventually one popped up on Parade. I have some 55 Aces coming for that and I can't fucking wait. My frustration/anxiety of another Spring snowstorm made for a really productive 420 homey
[close]

I don't know man, ain't no such thing as counter productivity if you're not getting hurt and having fun! sorry if I jabbed at ya on the snow storm. my boy text me this morning and told me they got hit in WMass too.
The small setups take a lot less effort that's for sure. And I didn't take it as a jab bud..I just wanted to state that the abundance of weed consumption on 420 definitely helped fend off the blues of another week w/o skating outside. :) At least I'm used to the late snow up here, W. Mass was probably not impressed!

There are actually a lot around and more coming, but most places will not list online so you have to go in to the store to buy them (at normal RRP, not crazy prices) or sort it out with someone who can go get one for you, eg one of the stores I saw got in a heap was Jokers shop...

Let me know how that works, been pondering it myself. I've been doing multiple stretches on my bad ankle when I wake up and before I go to bed, that have kept me okay, but I'm still nervous about certain tricks due to weak ankle.

As if I needed more gear...gave up on my AWS curb crusher, the wood just feels like shit...soft and mushy; going to stick with DSM/NHS wood from now on.

I wanted the larb shape a few years ago but didn't bite so when I saw it today, I did (they're out of stock already).

Randomly sent it on a 8.5 Doomsayers deck that looked nice when I went in to my local, and turns out it is the exact same shape as my 8.5 Fitzgerald Hockey deck. Deck is a lot lighter overall, which is great IMO, but definitely was not expecting this.

Still BBS wood then.

Good thing you like it so you don't have to "send it" back, hey?!?

:)

The latest DSC is PS, but the one right before that was BBS. One before that was clutch. All are in shops. At least they changed the graphics though. I think hand screened is clutch, transfers are bbs or PS.

Yeah, it is a funny one.

Not sure how many of their boards there are around either, certainly none heading this way any time soon, from what I have heard, but who knows really.

Been having fun on my theories deck with a 14.5" WB, so I grabbed some of the longer WB quasi decks to stash. Hopefully, if I can stay happy on 14.5"s, I wont be cursed to wander tactics for all eternity searching for wide boards with 14.25"s and below. My job wants to send me to Germany next month though, so they'll probably wind up in the hands of some Pulaski kids when it's all said and done.

Justin Henry’s pro 8.5 board is a 14.25 wheebase. As is their proto model. So if you’re a fan of 14.25 wheelbases, cop those when you find em.

I definitely want to get a Justin for the wall, just waiting for the local to get them in. I liked the proto I was riding for a while, but they taper to 8.25" over the back truck and I'm running 9" trucks right now, so there'd probably be too much monster truckin'.

Got my first pair of 149 independent in forged hollow. Was riding 144 standards but wanted something lighter and not as tall but wider at the same time. They feel so much better right off the rip. Can't wait to put grooves in them.

Different or uncomfortable fit, hard to wear straight out of the box, anything specific for you?

Always curious to hear, but kind of disappointing for you if they are not so good.

Tried an old insole in them (which often makes new shoes feel a lot more like home).

is 14.5 the most common WB for 8.5's? that's def my preferred size/wheelbase, but i always have to check and make sure, i thought 14.25 was pretty common for 8.5's.

14.25's are getting more common, but for it a minute it felt like the only place you could get them consistently was FA/Hockey. In any size wider than 8.5" though, your options quickly dwindle.

Oddly enough, the only options at that point are Dwindle pressed boards. Creature stumps are 9" with a 14.25 WB. If you can fine them, stock up on them. They go quick.

Some / all of the new caps have been such a weird fit or super small lately from DLX, or at least the ones I have seen and tried on.

Between some companies getting their own caps produced, they might work on some heads, but not on mine and I usually wear more the mesh or snap back variety, not the unstructured ones, but some have been way too shallow, others just that weird in between size or even kids size, so yeah I have definitely had some caps that had to go as they just don't fit at all.

What sort is the one you got?

I'm skating through something right now, haven't set it up yet. What trucks are you running? All I have are 5.8 ventures but I feel like they're going to make the nose and tail non-existent. I might have to venture out of my comfort zone and try something new.

I also recently got an antihero snapback that I'm not too hyped on, it had a super good structure the first time I wore it but it became pretty unstructured almost immediately which I was bummed about because I finally thought I had found a good strucuted hat (i look dumb in unstructured hats). Not sure if its a quality control thing or just a brand of snapback thing, but I wish they would fix that.

It's a different shape than that one. This is "Into the Wild," Daclin's limited board run brand he does alongside Film.

Grabbed some spit formula 4’s in the classic shape. Been skating wide / conical / conical full shaped wheels for the past several years. I’m interested to see how they will feel.

They have been mostly 50% off in a few colourways of those for a while, so some people I know have been buying up and will have shoes to last a long time.

Mostly they swap out the insoles for others like Footprint elites, but as a simple vulc shoe the DC Kalis vulc is pretty solid and lasts longer than Vans for these guys I know.

Been there and done that many times before. Some times when it doesn't feel right that's the best thing you can do.

The soles were pretty thin with decent durability. Lasted me 2 months with Shoe Goo until the sole gave out.

I usually skate the small stuff at the park. Small box/rails etc. but since the parks are still closed where I am. I bought these for a slappy set up.

Don’t mind my gross/dirty board gripping carpet. I’m trying to skate my current 33’s until they break. I have a set of regular 33’s as backups, but got a set of the AF1’s too because I wanted the silly looking gold ones

I ordered some 58 mm spits of classic because loopholes are not that big yet. You know I'll be grabbing 2 or 3 sets when they are available.

I almost got orange wheels. They are my absolute favorite thing in skating. Orange wheels are boss level shit. Reminds me of being a little kid. I always had white black or orange wheels. Blue sometimes.
I didn't want tablets tho and I need to be 56mm up.

Because I've figured out that the checkpoint pro is my shit I got another pair.

The check point reminds me of the year check your head came out. Eli and I were all about that Converse shoe. I think it wasn't called a check point tho?

Anyway I hope you are doing well. I got my second shot yesterday and I feel like total shit.

Deep bone pain entire body.

I ended up grabbing a pair of the ave pros in the black/'gum' colorway. I thought the sole would be way more transparent than it ended up being. Tried em on, fell in love. I havent been this excited walking around in a shoe since the 440s. I know these arent traditional cupsoles but between these and the 440s I lose my infatuation with vulcs more and more.

I hate how inconsistent their sizing is. I've bought 4 pairs of converse over the years and only one pair has fit.

When I was younger sizing never bothered me but now I'm only interested in things that fit properly.

Wanted to try one of these Orchard shop decks after hearing good things from some Pals. Grabbed a 8.5, then saw they had the 97a F4's... then saw their shop Shorty's hardware rip... then saw they had the silly MOB roller tool for like 1/3 price. Impulse extras that I am stoked on. The MOB roller is nice, I used it twice yesterday, worth the $8

Damn @stets , looks like the rollers are gone. I made my own out of an old generic truck hanger with a big cruiser wheel on one side and have been using that for years. It gets the job done but I'd definitely buy one of the mob ones at that price.

The gangemi/pop master decks are good. Is yours an m1? The shape on the 8.12 m1 feels like it's slightly off in some way to me but I really like the 8.25. They feel really light, like.. 6 ply light, which always throws me off for a second when I skate mine. It feels like a product that will be really, really good with a few minor tweaks as it develops. Really cool to have another USA woodshop making very high quality boards again.

I wanted to try some PS Stix again. Got a Quasi 8.125. Wheelbase is 14.1 and Length is like 31.4. But now I know PS measures with the concave, so that's what I tell all the homies from now on.

Just got a funky looking crack (?) on the nose already. Worst case, this will be my rain/cruiser deck.

I've gotten a board like that before from a south central company and It did end up breaking 1st session on the end with the split. I was lucky to get it replaced afterwards.

Wanted to try one of these Orchard shop decks after hearing good things from some Pals. Grabbed a 8.5, then saw they had the 97a F4's... then saw their shop Shorty's hardware rip... then saw they had the silly MOB roller tool for like 1/3 price. Impulse extras that I am stoked on. The MOB roller is nice, I used it twice yesterday, worth the $8
[close]

Damn @stets , looks like the rollers are gone. I made my own out of an old generic truck hanger with a big cruiser wheel on one side and have been using that for years. It gets the job done but I'd definitely buy one of the mob ones at that price.

The gangemi/pop master decks are good. Is yours an m1? The shape on the 8.12 m1 feels like it's slightly off in some way to me but I really like the 8.25. They feel really light, like.. 6 ply light, which always throws me off for a second when I skate mine. It feels like a product that will be really, really good with a few minor tweaks as it develops. Really cool to have another USA woodshop making very high quality boards again.

It's was marked as M2. Outside of the tail being about 1/8 in too long for my liking, the shape seems good to me! Kinda like good 8.5 Bakers I've skated a few times in the last couple years, but with the 14 inch wheelbase that is so hard to find on bigger boards.

95a mini cubics.  They look horibly big but they perform and feel great.  Cab used to ride em.   I've been getting more into speed lines around the bowl type of thing. I think i'm kind of ollied out.  I've done a billion ollies and its fun to learn something new.   I have them with half inch risers and loose ass trucks and a 12 wide old schooler without concave.  I got a 9 inch indy in the back and a 8.75 venture in the front.

Yes totally!

I got two sets of the 56mm 97s, but yet to set them up - only arrived this week though so not a forgotten purchase sitting there with all the other stuff...

Yes that has happened before, going through a random box and thinking "When did I get that?!?" or something similar.

I made the lightsaber at Disney worlds galaxy edge. It was $200 dollars. And I know $200 is a lot for something  that’s just sits in my office, but it’s a whole experience. They take you in a cave and have like a elder do a spiel. There’s some lights and smoke and sound effects. I didn’t even want to do it, but it was my birthday present and I loved every part of the slightly cheesy experience.

Funny I just had the same thing happen to me with a Polar Dane1, and since they sell out everywhere I decided to just set it up. I reached out to the shop I got it from and they said something about how it was split ply and wouldn't be an issue, have to say that it hasn't been an issue yet, but I'm never doing anything crazy on the nose with that shape anyways. Slightly disconcerting though to see it lead almost directly to the top right screw hole.

I wanted to try some PS Stix again. Got a Quasi 8.125. Wheelbase is 14.1 and Length is like 31.4. But now I know PS measures with the concave, so that's what I tell all the homies from now on.

Just got a funky looking crack (?) on the nose already. Worst case, this will be my rain/cruiser deck.

That should count as a manufacture defect. Exchange that shit.

Came a a crack, def get another 1, i am sure they will hook you up
[close]

Funny I just had the same thing happen to me with a Polar Dane1, and since they sell out everywhere I decided to just set it up. I reached out to the shop I got it from and they said something about how it was split ply and wouldn't be an issue, have to say that it hasn't been an issue yet, but I'm never doing anything crazy on the nose with that shape anyways. Slightly disconcerting though to see it lead almost directly to the top right screw hole.

It'll be fine as long as you remember to countersink the bolt in that hole as much as possible.  (Just kidding.)  I wonder if shooting some gorilla glue or something stiff drying in there to fill it would help?

I can't believe Vision/Select Distribution still sells Gator shit.  I guess I'm even more surprised there's a market for it.

Yeah, I've always been wondering what Vision does the the royalties for all the Gator re-issues. Santa Cruz would be crucified if they cashed in on 1010 boards, but it's cool for Vision to spit out 100 colorways of Gator's board???

Anyways, the mask was obviously a joke. I doubt this woman knows how Gator took out Bergsten. After beating/handcuffing/raping her "Rogowski placed his hand over Bergsten's mouth until she stopped breathing, then drove the body to the Shell Canyon desert, then disposed of the corpse in a shallow grave."

Also - Gator reissue anything is terrible.

"Used" copy of THPS1+2 off amazon comes with 8.0 birdhouse deck for $40 physical game included. The Deck is still in the shrink wrap and the game will go straight to the resell store.


These were $100 at retail. Gamestop has them at $60 now which is the regular deck price, but if they'll probably be at a steeper discount during memorial Day.

I'm amazed she let you sleep in the same bed with her based on that bearing selection. The griptape choice is grounds for divorce but I'm not a lawyer.

I’m putting reds on it, I just got the globes to make it a complete and get the free skate tool. The clear grip is to make a little “window” for the top graphic.

You ever try the 8.28 dlx shape? Very close to the SC decks in terms of dimensions but with a slightly shorter wb. If you don’t like the SC deck I would recommend the 8.28. I think most of Mason’s boards are that shape.

Yup! I switched to a near dusted Beres Anti-Hero in that size in prep for the SC - bought the Mason/Natas deck from the last drop but don't want to skate it.

The DLX is a tad shorter at 31.7 vs 31.83 and the WB is negligible I hope 14.18 vs. 14.22; but yeah suuuuuper close all around.

Apparently the DLX it's just an 8.25" but they call it 8.28 to have a different size in the roster instead of two 8.25"s (that mentioned in Mason's 9 club Stop and chat...both of mine measure over 8.25, more like and 8.27 ish - but one thing is sure, you can't trust DLX sizing.

I also prefer feel and concave/kicks of NHS/DSM wood over BBS (or PS).

So stoked they re-released this deck since I missed it the first time around. Bonus points for the red top, I always put a note in asking for red or blue (anything but pink) but a lot of the time companies/shops just ignore it.

8.25" x 31.63" 14"wb PGI wood. Love this shape, this one has a slightly steeper tail than my last one but it might flatten out a bit more over time and either way it's a nice flat mold that's reminiscent of the boards I grew up on. Really enjoyed my last couple Blood Wiz decks so I have high hopes for this one.

You bastard. I bought that Shin deck only to be told the next morning they didn’t have any left. I’m like 190-200 so my fat ass has been looking into wheel wells. I wound up having to pick another deck and got the Grund Notre Dame.

This Creature snap back looked cool. I like pillbox hats. My old man used to wear the classic baseball hats like that. Also got some Indy 149 Hollows to try. Gonna put them on my 8.25 and 8.5 and see which feels better.

@off nice. I was looking at footprint insoles online last night and didn't pull the trigger because the sizing and specs are kind of vague but also except for there ODB's their aesthetics are such fucking garbage. I don't know if theres an official  insoles thread on Slap but please post about how those ODBs skate. I'm recovering from surgery and need to get some high quality thick insoles.

Drove 45 mins one way to the local shop (my first time going there) 2 weeks ago for a set of those Darkroom wheels.
Got there and the sign on the door said “be back soon”. Killed a few minutes, nobody showed, and drove home, which took an hour. No purchase made.
Hopped on line yesterday and got them for $10 cheaper.
It’s not worth damn near 2 hours of my limited time to go back, ever.
Hope the wheels are rad.

Really curious to know if you have any idea where the board was made, which woodshop as it is a bit of a mystery and although I haven't seen any with my own eyes, I have it listed as BBS up to 2019 and Watson woodshop since then.

Not seeing anything from the pics at all to identify it, did it have a "W" with American flag or Made in USA sticker or anything?

Not a worry if it is a dead end, or you don't know - they are usually fun big boards to ride though!

If you're referring to the scram deck I'm pretty sure they're prime wood. Or at least that's what the popsicles were last time I looked at one which was a few months back.

I remember someone saying they were bbs at one point in the past but I don't recall anything about Watson unless they did like a small run of some one - off crazy old school shape, which is something Watson somewhat specializes in (they make some of the Sam Hitz limited editions, some of the special Toy machine decks like the Halloween boards, and I think burger uses them for their old school shape)

FA Ave 8.25

Ruckus 5.5 (on sale for $20). Listed as lows which is why i bought them but they look more like a mid. I'll have to measure when I get a chance.

Two sets of wheels that were on clearance from skate warehouse. The day after I placed the order they started a sale that took a further 20% off all clearance items. Was pretty annoyed about that.

Satori conical 52mm 101a

 and

Bones STF 103A herpe boy wheels. Never skated the stf 103a and I've been curious about the V2 shape for a while, it's kind of the bones equivalent to tablets. They were on sale for $23 (assuming because Yonnie got canceled) and I needed to get to the free shipping threshold so I figured I'd give them a shot.

I bought a few things right before the MDW sale and feel kinda burned. I should’ve gotten some bones to try over the weekend but didn’t and feel doubly dumb for that. Let us know how they are though.

The Scram? I’m 90+% sure it’s BBS. Same wood that they’ve had since Nolan started selling out of shops. There were 2 exceptions though, the first and second Assault X Scram decks were Watson made.
I hoarded a bunch of the 9” shovels after Scram stopped making them. Then I found out that 35th Ave had the same deck as a shop board and I know 100% those are BBS made. Same wood, same stain quality, same clear. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
If it was about the polarizer, I have no idea where Neil has those done.

Yes sorry should have been clearer, but the Scram board.

Thanks for both replies.

It is a funny one as I had seen two Scram boards that people ordered from US shops, both different but both not BBS in feel, concave, etc so I was interested to know as a local AU distributor just brought some in so I was very curious, as they have 9 and 9.75 boards in their current stock - mainly for others I know who are after boards of those dimensions.

Wheelbase: 14.22"
Nose: 6.8"
Tail: 6.6"

This is right up my weird dimensions alley...not quite an 8.25 and not quite and 8.3...Length and WB = not too long, not too short...tail around 6.5 Nose under 7" and on NHS wood.

Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks....
How’d you like it? I’m looking at Santa Cruz stuff myself. I have a BBS 8.5 that’s so mellow. Kind of eager to try something by NHS/DSM and I love the dimensions on this.

Primitive X New Balance I've wanted for a while. The Fiance says they're dad shoes.

Yeah, I’ve almost bought some NB# a few times and my wife threatens to laugh at me so I don’t.
My wife still laughs at me for my NB but they skate so well I will take the verbal abuse

New board day! Been skating Zero and Chocolate boards over the past year. First time buying Habitat.

Skating a habitat now. It’s been treating me good so far. Big nose which is nice.

Oh I resolved to get some next time I buy shoes. I just got two pairs a month or so ago, but come fall I’ll be back at it. Still kinda kicking myself for not getting some 440s with a seafoam/cerulean logo.

She's right but if they skate nicely you can't pretend like you don't hear it.

Deck Specs:
Width: 8.27"
Length: 31.83"
Wheelbase: 14.22"
Nose: 6.8"
Tail: 6.6"

This is right up my weird dimensions alley...not quite an 8.25 and not quite and 8.3...Length and WB = not too long, not too short...tail around 6.5 Nose under 7" and on NHS wood.

Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks, Please be goldilocks....

How’d you like it? I’m looking at Santa Cruz stuff myself. I have a BBS 8.5 that’s so mellow. Kind of eager to try something by NHS/DSM and I love the dimensions on this.

Love me some NHS/Dwindle/Girl wood...crispy, stiff and poppy...makes Ps/BBS feel mushy/waterlogged...I've made it a point to skate nothing else but NHS/DSM wood; it just feels good to me.

This deck, I found way too small (WB) but a great shape, medium all around. After many months and lots of $$$ fucking around with board sizes, and then skating a 14.5" WB for a week+ made me realize how much worse I skate on short and tight WB boards, and how much better I skate and feel on a longer WB...all the while thinking tighter/shorter is what I needed. Everything, my kickflips especially, were better on an 8.8x32x14.5"WB with 159s and 54mm wheels than the above with 144s and 52s...wtf.

NHS also has an 8.28" x 31.83 x 14.19WB (they just released an 8.25 with a 14.1875"WB)

So it's back to what I always used to skate: Santa Cruz or Creature with a 14.353 WBs (at one point they changed the 8.25 shapes and fucked them up so I left camp) with 149s indys.

Just grabbed this today:

8.25"x32.04"x14.35 - it's really fat, like AH hero fat.

I took a hard look at the GT AH (8.25x32x14.38) as this was also an old go to, but the shape of the creature is more fat/full in the nose and I prefer the China wood.

That sounds like the deal of the month! * If not the year, or decade even?

Did he take the shields off or leave them on?

Any which way, that is almost a set for life Bearing situation.

Love the Creature aesthetic. I'm an old stoner metal/hedger guy though so no surprise there. Guess them or Santa Cruz will be my next experiment. I notice I do a bit better the cost I get to 14"wb. I'm like 5'7 and 28" inseam though so I guess that makes sense.

5’10.5” and a 32” inseam

Deck is also the ‘old school’ creature concave, mellow medium with steep kicks and almost one finger of flat each kick…very gradual kicks but still steep.

I think I’m set for life now, as I had 2 working sets already. I think I’m on my 4th set of swiss now, got my first set 12years ago lol. And yes, shields on on perfect condition as they’ve never been popped of for cleaning etc. I have this ultra sonic cleaner at work where I can truly clean them, been cleaning and lubing 4sets so far and found only one bearing with a bit damaged balls/cage…

He’ll give you a board if you whip out your doodle and spin it around.

If you show him your scrotum and twist it 360 degrees (backside), he’ll sponsor you.

2x Strangelove Hell on Wheels 8.12" x 31.65" 14.12wb
Doom Sayers Snake Shake 8.25" x 31.65" 14.2ish wb (PS Stix)

Panic bought the yellow Hell on Wheels because the hypebeast dunk collector and ebay reseller types have made it so hard to get strangelove boards for people who actually want to skate them and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the black one which is the one I wanted. The yellow is actually better looking than the black in person though, so I'm happy with both.

Doom is up there with toy machine for woodshop roulette and I didn't even realize they had done snake shakes in the last PS run so I was hyped to find one from a shop in El Paso. I got killed on the shipping and they forgot to throw the grip I paid for in the box but it happens so I'm not really mad. It was mob anyways and I'm a jessup (or blank grizzly if I want something grippier) kinda guy. Shape looks good, I haven't had a chance to mold match it yet but the tail is mellower than I was expecting. Nice stain too, if I have to get green then I definitely prefer one like this, almost a dark olive or something.

Goddamn. These look fucking great. Very jealous. Had a doom board from back when and it was one of the best decks I’ve had.
Strangelove is the best company, always bummed I didn’t buy more paisley, including a few specific graphics. Wasn’t aware that the hb’s were buying them all up. The ones I’ve had have been perfect, mellow ps.

T funk 8.38 x 14.5 ( my girlfriend liked the lotties graphic I’m worried how a flat deck with a big WB will pair with 55 af1s or if I should toss on ace 44c )but lately I’ve been feeling cramped on 14.25. But also am very use to it. Next deck will def be 8.3x14.37.

It’s was $110 but got it on sale for $39. Stoked.

I do, but mainly because I have a fear of porch pirates.  I've never even had anything taken off my porch, nor have I heard about it happening to any of my neighbors, I just feel like the first time it did happen I'd be so inconsolably pissed I wouldn't be able to handle it.

I get shit delivered to home and I have a ring. My wife can see it any time she wants, but half the thrill is just wearing a new pair of shoes for a few days before she notices. I like to live dangerously.

Because of COVID I've worked from home the entire time while she's had to go in on alternating weeks. I schedule my deliveries to come on the weeks she's in office, use my lunch break to hoard my stuff.

I unwillingly bought one of those wrist protectors with the plastic protection in it. I have this hard blood clot in my palm and the doctor said it would probably go away within 6 to 8 weeks if I could avoid falling on it regularly. Alas, this is not possible so I had to buy the protector. Only cost me 10 bucks at Decathlon tho.

I wear one on my left hand, first couple of slams were hairy since the plastic was slick and I landed chest first on a few falls because it slipped out. Better now that it's a few weeks ok but the rivets holding mine together are falling apart.

Used to be against skating with a wrist guard until I started skating with one on. Got my mobility in my wrist back without having to take much time off. I never learned to bail the right way, this thing def helps.

Bought an “OG shape” Baker board 2 days ago. Looked like standard popsicle at first glance and it was in the dimension I like to skate, 8.0x 31.5. So far I’ve learned it’s a good shape for kickflips, and tail/nose slides but the shape sucks for tre flips. So hard to get that proper scoop. Been really enjoying tre flipping gaps lately so I’m extra bummed about it. There was a time in my life where boxy tails felt good to do tre flips with, nowadays i need to remember that pointy is better. At the same time I’m enjoying skating ledges with it so i can’t give it to a kid quite yet. I’m hoping I snap it trying to jump down something in the next few days and can just move on already lol. I also really like the graphic so I might retire it early as a wall hanger or second setup or something.
Not calling you out cause I've had the same feeling but the impulse to want your board to snap really bums be out. Or it bums my kid self out to be specific.

2x Strangelove Hell on Wheels 8.12" x 31.65" 14.12wb
Doom Sayers Snake Shake 8.25" x 31.65" 14.2ish wb (PS Stix)

Panic bought the yellow Hell on Wheels because the hypebeast dunk collector and ebay reseller types have made it so hard to get strangelove boards for people who actually want to skate them and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find the black one which is the one I wanted. The yellow is actually better looking than the black in person though, so I'm happy with both.

Doom is up there with toy machine for woodshop roulette and I didn't even realize they had done snake shakes in the last PS run so I was hyped to find one from a shop in El Paso. I got killed on the shipping and they forgot to throw the grip I paid for in the box but it happens so I'm not really mad. It was mob anyways and I'm a jessup (or blank grizzly if I want something grippier) kinda guy. Shape looks good, I haven't had a chance to mold match it yet but the tail is mellower than I was expecting. Nice stain too, if I have to get green then I definitely prefer one like this, almost a dark olive or something.
[close]

Goddamn. These look fucking great. Very jealous. Had a doom board from back when and it was one of the best decks I’ve had.
Strangelove is the best company, always bummed I didn’t buy more paisley, including a few specific graphics. Wasn’t aware that the hb’s were buying them all up. The ones I’ve had have been perfect, mellow ps.

@ok The doom is really good. The nose is pretty steep but I like that and just something about the shape works well for me. Its one of those boards that feels like it's working with you rather than battling the trick you're attempting and the board.

Strangelove is a sad story for longtime customers and supporters, although hopefully it's very profitable for Cliver & Co because they deserve it. I too wish I had loaded up on paisley, I really regret not getting a balloon boy or the citizen Tania which is still to this day maybe the most impressive screen job I've ever seen. It's like 13 screens but screaming squeegees pulled it off perfectly. Strangelove got mega popular when they did the valentines dunks and went from something old dudes who grew up on cliver would skate and occasionally collect to the new "cool" brand almost instantly. Now it's kind of like when FA was at its height and they sell out instantly if put online so a lot of shops only sell in store. Apparently Radio is going to be carrying them now though which is awesome for me.

It definitely makes it difficult for those who want to actually skate them to find them and when I do come across them they're often marked up a good bit. The shapes have all been really good, they have a short 8.25 (I think it's like 31.3ish) that they occasionally do which I really like. Unfortunately the last board they did on it was the heart skull which is like the most coveted by the dunk punks so I've been kind of hoarding the one I have for a while and only pull it out when I feel like I'm skating well enough to not waste it. They said they're doing more on that shape though so hopefully the hype dies down a bit by the time it comes out. The elves 8.25 from the Xmas release is great too.

If you want one to skate I have an 8.25 wolf boy slick that I'm selling. It's in good shape and has lots of life left. It's more of a medium, not as mellow as the elves one, but not super steep either.

Clown 21 Gun salute. Hand screened in the UK on an 8.25.

1 of 21 made for their 21st anniversary...got very lucky to grab one before they sold out in a matter of seconds.

I'm not huge on collecting, but I grew up in Bristol around Banksys stuff, and fondly remember when Clown got going back in the day...so thought I would treat myself.

I would say 90s, as I have some very old used ones like that, but who knows.  In 2003+ they only had 4 hole baseplates in the shop I was in and kids used to trip on the display of old trucks with six hole baseplates asking why anyone would want them like that.

The only major brand that has carried 6 hole baseplates into the modern age is Indy in the newer and only larger sizes (159, 169, 215 and 109s) but there are still a lot out there of many brands from when 6 hole baseplates were the norm.


Pretty cool to see what looks like a brand new unused set like that though.

I was also very pleased to find out that the 14.5 WB on the sticker is a lie. Here's the measurement tea.

Width widest: 8.5"
width front truck: 8.5"
width back truck: 8.38"
Wheel base: 14.38
nose: 7.125"
tail: 6.5"

54mm OJ EZ Edge(want to see how they compare to F4’s)
Quantum Atoms
Santa Cruz slider rails for my bowl board
S-1 helmet and 187 elbow pads(already have kneepads) so I’m not afraid to skate the bowls. I’m older now and pads are cool too. Gotta trade back the elbow pads for the next size up though. Pro-tip: actually try them on in person instead of ordering online and going by the sizing chart

Turned out the signed one was actually intended for the shop owner and wasn't supposed to have made its way to the store shelves where I found it. Luckily he knew who I was and got in touch with me the next day. I took it back and exchanged it for this one which is the color I wanted anyway.


Also snagged a handful of DOA flats. If anyone wants one they're available now on doa's web store. Get em while you can.

Got these things at 50% off, so I am quite happy.
Having skated only in two pair of Vans in my life (Chukka low and era pro) because I didn't have much money as a kid and in the EU they are expensive and pretty much don't go on sale for like 50%. (They're about $105-$112 brand new) I am pretty stoked on them. Now as a working adult I can afford Vans even when not on (a big) sale, but a sale is always a nice chance to try something new.

Shoes were bought online and didn't know how the shoes fit and skate so I only bought one of each for a grand total of €90 (=$106). I am the most stoked about the KWs and will probably hate myself for not getting more of those, but OTOH I don't want to hoard stuff   and don't know how they skate/will last. The Sk8 hi doesn't seem too comfortable (walked a bit in them) but maybe I they will skate  great.
I like that Vans comes with those thick insoles. I have orthotics and they fit great in there. Most of the times I have trouble with my heel slipping because  shoes were designed with thin, flat insoles in mind, so That's another pro in my eyes.

The LS was bought at my local shop which coincidentally also had a sale going on.

nice! yeah, this was like 10 years before I started messing around with wood, aluminum, and urathane but I saw it yesterday and figured I should take it home with me. it actually rolls super, super smooth, especially for a 35 year old budget complete.

I got a set of knee and elbow pads. The plan is (I’m 45) if I slam on one of those body parts, I put a pad on it and keep skating. I fell onto my right knee last Sunday and the fucker still hurts.
Also got a Lowcard T Shirt. I’m fat and hairy so wearing a shirt is always a very good idea.

REALLY hard to pass up a DOA flat as fuck, but I don’t need a new deck. I will regret this.

Went buck (for me) with the 20 percent off at skate warehouse.

Birdhouse Hale 8.625
Bronson g3 bearings
Bearing cleaner
Satori 101a 54mm
Silverados.

I had swiss six in my cart but I couldn't spend that much as I already have another deck in the mail. Never thought I'd own a Birdhouse deck ever, but Shawn Hale rips and the size interested me.

Almost skipped on the board when I went to pick it up but I wanted a wide board at 32" length with a smaller wheel base than 14.5. probably gonna set up it up with my old Independents.

Wheels were recently traded for as well.

under their instagram comments, they confirmed that the increment between each hole is 0.375 inches. or 3/8ths of an inch. so every 2 holes = 0.75 inches. pretty sweet.
im gonna shorten this board that has a 14.5in wheelbase to 14.125in. soooo hyped for it to come in

Got my DOA box a few days ago so I just made an album. Everything is out of order but

- 8.25 skypager (blue top)
- 8.25 JD fists (red top)
- 8.25 madame (orange top)
- 8.37 toe tag (orange top)
- 8.25 Jimmie Chung (black/Grey top)

All are flats. Made sure to jump on them and stock up before they sold out this time.

Also picked up a street plant 9" Bob Probert deck. He was one of my favorite players growing up and before skate gear one of my nerdy obsessions was hockey fights. I still have one of those big binders somewhere with over a hundred dvds of fights from the 80s, 90s, and early 00s (pre-lockout). When I saw that Mike V did a Probie deck it was a no-brainer for me and the graphic is awesome.

I recently picked up some 53mm tablets and 149 thunder hollow lights.

I've wanted to go back to tablets for some time, after I gave my friend an old set I thought I wouldn't have wanted. The biggest win on this purchase is the trucks. I've never really dabbled in any sort of hollow truck (with the exception of some indy hollows for a zip zinger because they were the only option) and I cannot believe how much lighter my set up feels.

Bought a tactic board on the go skate day sale. This one was a painted color rather than a exposed stain like some. But it did have this this even better 3 color stain under.

Also got some bones 99s

That looks pretty cool.

What was the graphic and top?

Is it Clutch wood (stamped letter and number between the front bolts?


* Also put it in the woodshop thread, as a reference.

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=116070.msg3592922#msg3592922

It was the tactic icon shop deck. In lavander. Some are clearly exposed stain at the the bottom. This one was not. I thought it was generally accepted that tactics uses bbs for shop boards. I know this stain colorway was in the clutch catalog way back, but I also know woodshops can get their veneers from the same place ore died.

Theres no identifying marks other than the notch.

Mason deck isn't new, it's been on ice, thunders in pic are old (might use some 144 indy ti tho, haven't decided).

The new shit is, Bone V5 99as and med bushings+
Nike NBD grip on top
Black Magic Ablack5 on bottom

The Nike grip feels pretty grippy to my hands, it's chunky and it feels like there is more space between the grit compared to say, the blackmagic which is small grit and tightly packed. The Nike grip is also light as fuck even on the paper compare to any grip I've felt before, it's also pretty floopy/easily rolled (but not ripped). Yes, it really looks that salt and peppery. Going to set it up tonight.

Note: FWIW and seems odd to me, but the bones bottoms are the same fucking height as thunder bottoms...I've always thought they were shorter...I know that 'someone at DLX' 8 million years ago said the two aren't compatible but I'm going to give them another go...

Now you got me nostalgic for Black Magic griptape.

Makes me wonder if their griptape quality matches the modern Mob / Jessup.

I got the blackmagic as back up if the nikejessup sucks. Just from application my fingertips are chewed up the usual amount. The grit on the black magic feels waaaaaay better than regular jessup, the grit density feels more like Mob M80 (of which I'm a fan but doesn't seem to be making the rounds anymore). It feels very sharp and gritty. One thing o fnote, it doesn't have that blue hue to it like it a did a few years back also, nothing printed on the back paper.

FYI this grip sucks. I've tried to give it some time but it just feels soft which makes your feet feel unsecure; it's got some grip but not a 'gritty' grip more like a soft grip (like rubber would feel). It's much easier to move/wiggle/slide your feet around than anything I have on hand; It also looks dumb and I swear it has a 'deadening' sound effect to the board.

Sounds like it could have been defective or something. I’ve had a handful of krooked decks over the years and never had this type of thing happen. Maybe you got unlucky :/
I have had boards break early though and I always chalk it up to bad luck or it was defective .

Wanted to try some ventures again, so I copped some v-lights (regular axel, hollow king pin, forged base). Wanted to grab some bones softs too, but the shop was out so I got some german copies of bones mediums. Also copped a cheap clip on fisheye for my phone.

I'm trying to slim down a little from the 9" Creature Stump I'm currently skating (and liking). If this is as snappy as the creature I think I'll have a winner.  Any specific criticism on it, or just generally don't like it?

Bootleg graphic still on the wheels, bearings haven't completely seized up. There are lots of scalpers who would have picked it for parts but I'm happy to have found the piece of history.

I've been eyeing these shoes for a few weeks now. How you like them? Do they fit a bit more snug and stiff as halfcab pros? They look rad.

I'm skating them tomorrow so I'll probably have more to say then, but first impressions are okay. They're the only vans that didn't immediately shred my Achilles when I put them on the first time, and I'm excited to have a little bit of padding around the ankle, but they do feel narrow. I've never had half cabs, so I can't compare to them, but I have narrow feet and they still pinch a bit. The only thing that doesn't feel narrow is the toe box, but I'm coming from last resorts so anything is gonna feel like a clown shoe.

Girl love seat and some Powderly Loopholes (54mm square shape)

@fs1/2cab
the skate his kinda feel like moon shoes to me, but that's probably because I was skating cons and LRs before this. Having some actually padding around the ankle was nice and they're very grippy; just generally felt really solid on my feet, which I attribute to the new insoles and tongue straps. Can't comment on the flick because my kick flips were fucked for the whole session because of the new shoe blues.

First day rating: 4 tony hawk stars /5

Another wrist guard, thought the Protec brand meant something but it was ripping at the edges after a few sessions. The fabric is splitting apart along the pinky side of my palm.

Im using one from TSG and the quality is great. I’ve been using it for about two years now and it looks pretty good for the age

Two pairs of Etnies Marana Michelin black/gum (non-Joslin) $62 each at Chain Reaction Cycles (Over $100 for free shipping from UK). Heard these were good for a wide toebox.

I found that the Maranas had a pretty standard toe box, but with the padding and after stretching out over time they got pretty comfortable for my wide feet.

I was super disappointed when I first put them on, but after wearing them around for a few days they felt really comfortable. The padding allows for the shoe to stretch out to your foot pretty well. Also, the durability of the Michelin outsole makes the break-in period all the more worth it.

I’m usually a Spitfire guy, but have been skating some OJ’s lately and sort of like them too. Skate Warehouse has that sale going on and I was able to get all 3 sets of these for less than what 2 sets would retail for normally

hardlines, mini combos, and ez edge all in 54

I love the new skate ones. They skate so good if you ask me. I just started skating a new pair and I only retired my last pair because I felt like skating a new pair. Where as when I'd skate OG halfcabs (which I love) I would have gone through 3 pairs in the amount of time it took to do this to them. My opinion - they're tanks and skate great right out of the box.

(https://i.imgur.com/fwm7gCn.jpg)

Only complaint is that you might bust the back collar and after time it might mess with the heel lock a tiny bit, but in all reality these still skate really good and don't really need to be retired. It didn't really negatively impact my skating at all.

(https://i.imgur.com/DdrWBVf.jpg)

I just started skating the white pair with the black tongue this week and I don't think this will happen with them because that part is suede and because I'll be a little more conscious when slipping into my shoes. I do know it happened to a few other people I know skating the same pair. Either way, I'm going to keep buying pairs of the new skate half cabs over and over

Thanks for the replys pals. They look and feel alot better than the old pros with the ultracush insoles. I liked them but they just felt too gushy and floppy after a while. I'm looking forward to skating these new ones tho.

Are there any identifying marks or laser etching on the top of that Sour?

I just don't have any / many pics of the tops of those in the woodshop thread, so if it wasn't too late, could I bother you for a pic or two?

Thanks!

Ebbets makes amazing stuff. I have a bunch of their hats - too hot for SoCal summers, but awesome for fall/winter time.

I know what you mean about the stain and whatever is on top.  Certain light or even lack of light at just the right angle will make or break that sort of pic, but the light stains are often a lot easier to see, as you said.

Found these loophole jameel  douglas teardrop 54 wheels and Scumco & sons (ps stix) Kyle Nicholson Easy rider 8 deck on sale and decided to treat myself with a birthday present in advance. I am so stoked coz like these brands and skaters very much. The deck came a bit short 31, which wasn't correctly put on the site but i am a shorty so it is not gonna be a problem. I love the mellow concave and the 14 wb, the width is a bit more than 8, the nose and tail are fat as fuck! I hope these brands become more popular in Europe so they can be easily found.

They were all crazily expensive when they came out here in AU but have already dropped significantly, more so in some shops than others, eg starting price was AU$199.99 in one but already down to AU$99.99 (half the initial price) now.

I wonder if putting the price up too high was counter productive, or they thought they would sell more units, then when that didn't happen, they have almost had to drop them to clear them out, which  has happened to lots of the Skate range more recently.


Curious how you find the 3D insoles too.

The hard molded plastic was meant to keep the foot from moving too much in the shoe and giving a lot more support, especially considering the first shoes they were in were very thin and had almost no support in the Pro range.

So good!

I would like to know which bushings you prefer more, as well as which ones last longer for you.

Thinking the Indy red 88 bushings would be a whole lot firmer than the Bones mediums.

Also wondering if you would be using the metal washers with both, or not with the Bones bushings?

This is really my introduction to messing with my bushings, so any suggestions are welcome.  In addition to these ones I’ve got a set of the Indy hard blue and deluxe hard green.  I keep my trucks right in the middle in terms of loose/tightness. So I think it’ll just be a matter of trying things out and seeing what I like.  Unfortunately I am 3 weeks in to a broken wrist so it’ll still be a little bit before I can get back to a full on session.  I do plan to use the flat washer that came with the bones with nothing on the bottom.  I’ve got an 8.5 setup and an 8.75 setup that I’m working with.

Welcome to the club, I got a pair of riptides, two different duros, I use cupped washers but I skate manny pads and ledges so I don’t need flat washers, she’s a fickle mistress but when you get a pair of tricks turning the way you want…….. *chefs kiss

Anyways sorry for high jacking this thread with bushing talk, just got a pair of loopholes 54mm teardrop wheels, that are holding up well, I usually am not going to fast cause I’m a low impact dude, but as far as sliding they are great

Krooked deck, hoodie, f4 spits classic, and a hat from the local skateshop. The owner said covid has been really rough on business, hope he doesn't go under.  :(

Crob twin from crailstore.co.uk
FYI there's no mention of it but it came with a sheet of grip.
I rather like the top so I may go for clear grip, yes I have no shame.

I like the double laser etch. I also like the color, and use of logo. Simple but effective

A white dipped Busenitz with the T.G artwork...but now looking at it my brain can't get past the idea that the white edge showing around the grip is going to look like complete crap.

FA hoodies are by far the best quality skate brand hoodies out. PassPort held the crown for me but not anymore. And the polo is sick as fuck. XXL is actually XXL for once!

Indy 149 cast hollows (been lowkey strongly preferring Indy to Ace as of late)
OJ 56mm keyframes (all I've been wanting to skate lately)
Ace low bushings (going to try Ace bushings in my Indy 109s)
Ace AF1 tool (after 15 years the screwdriver in my reflex tool broke)

Going to go back tomorrow or Saturday for some 56 or 58 F4s.

8.5 hockey

159 cast hollow.... Frick I dislike breaking in new trucks.  Loving how the pop feels with em.
Been on ace 44 classics for the most part of two and a half years now and decided to try something else because my pop felt sloppy on anything mellower than fa/hockey.

Anyone have one or have dimensions? Really hoping that wheelbase isn’t right

Mine’s an 8.25 and the inner truck holes are 14” apart. Not much help I’m afraid!

Some Tensor Mag ATGs... ok I could only get them in black but I think it'll work great with the deck. $24 each on Zumiez, thought that was a really good deal, even with sales tax and overseas postage it was way cheaper than the UK shop price.

Picked up some random sale $10 bearings and $2 hardware too (and some grip) since the shipping was fixed price.

The seller was just over the grapevine so I should have them by the end of the week. Hope they fit, will post a pic when I get them laced up


Hope to god you got a half size up and even so your foot might be hurting for a few days, but then they'll be perfection.

Plus two sets of NFG MFG Wheels. 54mm Teardrop, and 54mm Square shape in the new 95a Crust Formula.
First set of NFGs, so I'm excited to try them out.

This weekend Powell upped the price of their Flight decks to $100.  Fucking ouch.

So I popped into Tactics and they had this one still for $83

(https://img.skatewarehouse.com/watermark/rs.php?path=PLBTBDK-1.jpg&nw=435)

It's the taper tail 248 shape.  I'm currently on the full 8.25" 243 shape and really liking it.  They are a bit wide measure out to an 8.38, which is perfect.  I have skated it on both Indy 149 Ti and Thunder 149 Ti.

EDIT:  The 243 shape measures big to 8.38.  The one 248 is an true 8.25. Same nose/tail/wheebase as the 243.

 I'll probably set this one up with the Thunder and 99 Conicals and put the Indy and 101 conicals on the one I already have.

To look on the bright side (if you can) I remember running sheets sideways with minimal to no waste, like grip squares in the late 90s / 00s, which would cover five boards from four sheets of grip.

You could grip like that again which might help with that issue.

If you are a full black grip guy, maybe you could cut them up into squares anyway and market them as such.

A normal sheet is 9 x 33, so if they are 9 x 31, cutting them into 8.25 to 8.5 lengths would mean you get 3 squares (which you put on sideways starting at the tail end) and a strip between 5.5 and 6.25 left over which would adequately cover the nose, still gripping a whole board with no gaps.

Just a thought anyway.

I wanted to read the first one for many years and ended up sourcing a copy from my library through an interlibrary loan. They got it shipped in from some university library in chicago at no charge and I got to keep it for three months. Support your local library!

Library’s are so dope. It’s also like a daycare if your kid is into reading. Maybe not now days but back in the day you could. The librarians would look out for the kids, asking what they were into and hooking them up. Plus there’s always books with boobs in it.
Also make great skate spots outside.

Library’s must get shit funding now days?

But this is the wrong thread.
Got this nice Cash Only belt yesterday.

My son (yeah I'm old) asked for a new Vans hoody so hit the outlet on the way home from work. Their version of a coach's jacket (Torrey) were $10 and 2nd one half off. So I ended up buying three. One for him, one for his little brother and the third to donate to the Christmas clothing drive.

Vans outlet prices are pretty amazing some times.

I think the Torrey Jacket is the most comfortable coach jacket on the market too.  Might just be me, but it fits well, is lined right through the body and sleeves and best of all it has a button right at the bottom.

Small things, I know, but it just works.

Who’s your local? $53.95 for a deck is a fucking steal

That’s the cowtown logo on the price sticker I believe. Their decks have always been a few bucks cheaper than other places I’ve noticed.

I have these in this colorway, look slick. Pretty comfy. Only negative I had was, the first few times I wore them, when I'd take them off - the insoles would come off with my foot? Then it passed.

Picked up a pair of the Puig's as well. That cupsole just looks too good to pass up. I really like the 'A' shape on the heel, makes the shoe look very distinctive and recognizable in a sea of tech cupsole skate shoes

One of my favorite cupsoles. Thin enough for board feel but padded enough to not kill my feet.

They’re arguably overpriced for what they are but they’re really not anything like sweatpants (aside from being hella comfortable). I’ve seen some people say if you like these you could just get chef’s pants which are cheap, but the chef pants I’ve had in the past are a bit thicker material. I like the thinness/lightness of these. You can usually find them on sale if you keep an eye out.

The worm in my brain that wriggles around and tells me to buy more wheels struck again. Got some 56mm conicals (regular conicals, not the fulls).

A related observation: when ace af1s first came out, I was concerned that the self re-threading axle nuts would potentially wear down the axles more with frequent wheel changes. From my experience going through wheels faster than I do boards, the actual issue is the rethreading nyloc wear down instead. I have a nut that feels loose and two axels that have a hard time catching thread.

You were actually the inspiration for me to get these holmes! I already had a few pairs of white shoes but they are suede and either a cream or bone shade of white, not optic white. I've seen your posts and the consistently white leather shoes popping up in your pics made me think to myself 'I need something in white leather'. Lo and behold these Puigs were only $58 on skateparkoftampa.com, bada bing bada boom I got some French flag sneakers now

Hell yeah!!! That made my day. White leatherys are the move. Easy clean too. So hyped your hyped

Mason deck isn't new, it's been on ice, thunders in pic are old (might use some 144 indy ti tho, haven't decided).

The new shit is, Bone V5 99as and med bushings+
Nike NBD grip on top
Black Magic Ablack5 on bottom

The Nike grip feels pretty grippy to my hands, it's chunky and it feels like there is more space between the grit compared to say, the blackmagic which is small grit and tightly packed. The Nike grip is also light as fuck even on the paper compare to any grip I've felt before, it's also pretty floopy/easily rolled (but not ripped). Yes, it really looks that salt and peppery. Going to set it up tonight.

Note: FWIW and seems odd to me, but the bones bottoms are the same fucking height as thunder bottoms...I've always thought they were shorter...I know that 'someone at DLX' 8 million years ago said the two aren't compatible but I'm going to give them another go...
you’re gonna love that Mason board. best shape i’ve personally ever ridden.

lil egg
Ace classic 22
50mm spitfire f4
Modus bearings + grip
Sunday hardware

I do like modus grip but I think i got a couple sheets of MOB here

For some reason my brain keeps telling me I like MOB grip..  must be their advertising in affect

Set one of these boards up recently. It’s fun and I can feel the weight difference when it comes to feeling tired.

I will say the board feels very flexy like a long board.

Bought a local shop deck for them to do a giveaway.

First person to bring them a pizza gets a deck.

That way someone (kid/teen, hopefully) can get a swoop up a deck for the cost of a pizza and the shop employees can get fed at the same time.

Pass the blessings, right?

Probably a select few pro models (Jeron Wilson BLM and maybe Chris Roberts Twin Tail) but the rest of the boards are still done in China from what I recall

Unless they switched to PStix after the proff called out the Crob's crail twin proto not being symmetrical on the 9club, they'd still be made in china.

New Balance 272’s and Real’s 8.28 shape (Harry Lintell pro model). the new balances have a wider toe box than I usually am used to and let me tell you it is a breath of fresh air. my toes aren’t so scrunched up together anymore as compared to vans. my feet don’t hurt at all during the sesh, even my toes.

the real 8.28 shape is my favorite shape that i’ve ever ridden. its my 4th time trying this 8.28 out and i love it.

I just bought those 272s last night to put on ice (my size seemed to be selling out around the web so I bit as I had a code for The Drop), I'm still skating some 255s (which I got for the wide toebox). Glad I opt'd for the Didal colorway (fire), they look great in a 'real' user pic...I saw a few that make them look very green.

The 8.28 is killer.

Volcom Frickin Skate Chino’s in black. Relaxed Straight fit with a super nice 18.5” leg opening.

They’re alot baggier than what I usually wear as I never get the looser fit options but dude, these are super comfy and plush. They’re chino’s but they look and feel like jeans but aren’t restrictive as jeans at all. Wore em with my white Tyshawn’s and *chef’s kiss*. Got em on 60% off at my local outlet so I doubled up on em. I’m gonna keep one just to rock and one to skate. They fucking make you feel good which raises your confidence bc you feel like you’re dripped out lol

Just dropped the Hammer on some of those Lakai Evo 2.0 non-skate shoes

You get those Evo in your usual Lakai size?
[close]
I did, but I’m ordering online so I may well regret that choice… Lakai always fitted true to size for me though
they arrived ... and the fuckers are too small! don't think they come in half sizes and you can't get bigger than a 10 in Japan :(

just ordered the Heroin 9.75 symmetrical, Eggxorcist deck and 2 heroin socks. 2nd time ordering from that shop, got the Curbkiller from them last September..
[close]
Speaking of which, mine just got delivered.  Bought as a wall hanger since I love the graphic, but it's going to be tough not to skate.
(https://i.imgur.com/yRy4Obe.jpg?1)

yeah, mine would probably end up on the wall as well. i got lucky with that Eggxorcist board, Fos hook them up with some eventhough it was a Halloween online exclusive release.. might need another Curbkiller, with the wheel wells.

Mini Logo 8.38 trucks, hard to find a low truck on anything bigger than 8.25 trucks. First time I'm committing to riding trucks that pull the wheelbase in (+2.75", quick measurement, no mounting hardware), for more than a quick push around on Ace / Theeve.

Tiago Lemos Indy mid 144. SW had em for $20 a piece.

I had in mind that these were gonna be lower than my aces. But my aces are lower compared to the stock indys.

The mids came with a black bushings that I can’t stand. I want to put some og Indy bushings - that wouldn’t affect the geometry of the mids would it?

Got the Klez 8.75 deck earlier today, then had to go back to the shop because my hardware is falling out of my trucks. Turns out they were unboxing the new Quasi shit while I was there, so I had to scoop the Please go to hell egg...

For those curios about the quasi egg, here's the measurements taken in the way we're used to

WIDTH: 9"
LENGTH: 31.75"
WB: 13.75"
WIDTH (FRONT TRUCK): 8.625"
WIDTH (BACK TRUCK): 8.5"

Got some of the F4 97A Classics in 54mm. My town got a new park with super slick concrete and I was sliding out more than I’d like to there on 99A Classics. I also suck at skating. These grip better but still slide when I want them to so it feels like for $38 I instantly became a better skater. No regrets.

Never skated an Element before, but it was on sale, plus its Peanuts!  ;D


They are BBS and all the Element boards I have were on such a good sale, good shapes, solid wood, etc (just de graphic / painted them and away I went).

Funny about the size though, 8.46 is so random.

Curious if it is about that size, or more likely an 8.5 x 32 with 14.25 wb as stated.

I'll measure and report back.  :) Thank you for your constantly updated "CURRENT WOODSHOP DIRECTORY" thread. Makes buying decks online easy. The local shop is text/call to open, and the owner stopped replying to me. So I guess I'm blacklisted. Idk why, but oh well, online shopping will have to suffice.
The dimensions sound awful close to a Baker B16. I was always curious how similar those Loy Elements were to the Baker shape. I also noticed one of the first Colin Provost Creature decks was the same 8.475x31.875 14.25wb as the B16 though Element and Baker sharing shapes through BBS makes more sense than doing it with Dwindle.

I wonder if he had a random BBS board for the minute that they (Toy Machine) were doing them during the pandemic / shortages and liked it so wanted the same dimensions for his new board.

Easy to replicate a shape or dimensions when you have a new pro board coming out too, but I also wonder if some of the shapes and sizes are an accidental slip of something and they just get what comes out, but find it works for what they want, or they make it a really odd number just to make people stop and go "What the..." like that.

Either way, it should be a good ride.

Fairly normal deck prices though.

The AU standard pay per hour is twice what the US is, so it works out closer than you might think.


Where did you get that lot from?

There have been (and still are) some amazing discounts and deals on at the moment for AU shops.

Original or aftermarket indy bushings work fine with the mids. I had to add hard aftermarkets and a friend of mine swapped the black mids bushings with original orange bushings from a standard Indy.

Reporting back with info, the deck just arrived. Old Skull's listed dimensions are incorrect.

(https://i.imgur.com/tbUjnNfl.png)

I measured the deck, and the imprinted dimensions above are accurate. Fucking cute deck, the snoopy comic on it is adorable. I'm going to feel bad skating it.

Ha yeah so good!

Funny that no single shop I have seen had the dimensions correct, but another place that did have that board listed had a top pic of 8.38 x 32.2 or something else, so I wonder what is going on with some of these board brands too.

Other Element boards are on a 50% off sale at the moment, but as the sizes are a bit funny (and no top pics / correct dimensions listed) it is a bit of a weird one.

Thanks for posting too!

Tactics has a 20% sale going on right now, so….

Three Real 8.28 Harry Lintell pro models. I absolutely live by this deck shape now. I’m on my 4th deck of this exact shape from Deluxe, and now I’m set to have skated 7 of them once I use all of them up. It’s perfect for me and I don’t want to ruin my consistency by switching things up. Non-stained plies because natural wood colored boards looks so nice to me. Mob for the grip because Shake Junt’s QC has dissapointed me lately. I got three sheets from their recent batch of the “Lo-key” grip they have and all of them went bald on me right where the ball of my front foot is. I even had to regrip the same board because of this before. I didn’t like the boards I rode with this Shake Junt grip and I don’t think I gave the boards a fair assessment because the grip was shotty. Maybe I’ll try them again but with Mob and see if my opinion changes. They were FA boards, by the way.

A third pair of the all black Nike SB Blazer Low’s. Skating my first pair now. My second pair is set to arrive tomorrow. I really like how they skate and how they’ve been holding up.

Three pairs of the Kalis Vulc S’s from DC because they were on clearance. I gotta get super glue before I skate them because I already can tell the seams will rip and I’ll have a piece of suede flapping around if I don’t superglue them.

A pair of black Polar 93’s. I love the dark blue pair I have so I pulled the trigger on the black ones.

Allen hardware. Phillips is annoying.

Spitfire Formula 4 52mm 99a in the classic shape. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

And 4 tees and a beanie to boot.

Quantum Isotope bearings directly from Quantum just to have in case. I didn’t even need a replacement for the ones I’m riding, just didn’t want to have to worry about a replacement when I eventually need one. But hey, I can have two setups with me now. I’m too far gone lol.

I do not regret this at all because now I don’t have to worry about lurking websites for gear I know I’m due to get to replace my current gear. I’m gonna be set for a while now.

3 theories boards i got for around 100 in that Union skate shop sale a few weeks back
[close]

Great deals!

I had been told some are BBS and some are Clutch.

Can you give me any more info on those boards you got?

Thanks.
[close]

Probably clutch.  I’ve skated a lot of Clutch blanks through Chapman, and they feel the same.  I like em; they tend to last me about a month or so


Thanks. 

Just going to copy this post to the Woodshop thread too (if that is ok?) so I can keep things updated there.

It’s such a sick shape.
Also, it seems to last forever.
Boards of the late ‘80s, very early ‘90s felt like this for me (well I remember the wood being better back when, but that is most likely nostalgia), big shape, concave, steep…could ride those thru wet grass for two months and still ollie.
Anyways, huffer, for me, worked best on 151s vs 159s/169s. Never tried the ace classic 55s. 6.1s would look sick…

Got the Shin wheels because I have an addiction to changing wheels. For those that don't know, what sets these wheels apart is that they're the OG formula (read: slimeballs) instead of the elites.
how do you like them? ‘Twas contemplating for my wife’s board but ended up going with F4 97a conical fulls in 58mm. I love Shin but wasn’t sure how OJ quality would hold up.
Title: Re: Skate Shit you've Bought Recently
Post by: white guy in a durag on November 24, 2021, 06:02:42 AM
They're good. Comparing them to the Elite formula, they feel a little more controlled and feel a bit better under your feet. I feel like I'm going a bit slower, but my legs aren't rattling when I hit the crust like I am on elites. I also prefer the way these slide; elites felt very all or nothing to me, but I feel more in control on these.

I've had a few before along with the Craig Phawt. I use mostly 55s on this shape but sometimes  151/159s. I agree about 80s wood quality but this shape is more reminiscent of 90s shape when wood quality really started to tank. Its been great to ride these shapes with modern wood and concaves but I def agree each one I have had has lasted a good long while.

Finally gave in and am going to give Ventures a try. Got the standard 5.8s for 30 bucks shipped last night. Been riding Indys only for at least the past 15 years but have been eyeing ventures for the past year. Hyped to give something new a try. Hopefully they wont throw me off too much. All the ventures are 30 bucks on zoomiez....and the 6.1 size are only 20 bucks.

It is also great they look like they are back and here to stay.

So sad when you get something that works so well and then they never do another run of that shape.

I re-bought this off eBay.

(https://i.ibb.co/GpMfYYP/alien-workshop-mind-control-banner.jpg) (https://ibb.co/yPkmvvs)

Long story medium... when I moved to NZ in 2008, I thought I should sell 95% of what I owned first. Regretted selling this almost instantly, especially considering old AWS was basically my favorite thing post-BPSW. Anywho.... seen one pop on eBay here and there but always like $175 or something. Well, just bought it off eBay the other day for $45... ironically it looks like it is the one that I sold. Either way, back at home finally.

I also sold the "visitor" banner (Alien peeking in the window from 1994). Totally regret that also. I used to drop acid and stare at that shit for hours. Aliens freak me out ever since seeing Fire in the Sky

Helped my sister build a board for her daughter on her 13th birthday.

So I built a cruiser/filmer/bad weather board for her for Christmas

1: 1x Polar Sanbongi Astro Boy 8.75"
2: 1x Ace Trucks Classic 55 Polished 9"
3: 1x Ricta Wheels Clouds 78A 56mm White Blue
4: 1x Independent GP-S Bearings Bulk Set
5: 1x Diamond Riser Pads 1/8 inch black
6: 1x Shorty's Hardware 1" Black Phillips
7: 1x Jessup ULTRA Grip Tape Black Sheet 9"
8: 1x Package Assembled

They live in Toronto and I'm in San Diego so I bought it at a local shop near them

I bought this too

For some reason, my snack deck is a long WB clutch board instead of a short WB ps board, so I'm a little miffed with that, but I'll probably still try it just to see what clutch wood is like. Also, I do plan to skate the grimple as is.

It’s honestly not that much more than a regular board. It’s 75$ flat with shipping and grip. I pay a little under 70 at my local after taxes, so this doesn’t feel like a price hike to me.

Two more of these might as well get them while they're still cheap:

Best shape I've ever skated, BBS wood too. ~14.4 wheelbase though. Their site has incorrect information.


I bought another ten various Element decks (50% off sale a week before the Black Friday sales) all 8.38 and 8.5 but not one single listing, even on the Element sites, along with the other place I bought them, was correct as far as dimensions and info.

The boards have all dimensions clearly listed on them (which are correct when measured), but I guess no one goes and actually checked them to put up the listing information.  Thankfully they are the dimensions I was hoping for and it is not a big deal to me, but it is still very annoying, especially if someone bought a board thinking it was a bigger 8.5 x 32.2 with 14.5 wb and it was actually a shorter 8.38 x 31.75 with 14.25 wb, which one was.

At least they are all BBS so regardless of anything else, they can get a paint job or sanded back and still be better (and cheaper) than most of the other boards in the blank or medium price range.


That peanuts graphic is pretty cool though.

Looks like you had reply lag as well.

Happened to me a few times, so I thought I had posted, came up with an error, often something like "unable to connect to server" but it actually posted the message multiple times over.

You can always delete the other messages easily enough.

Not a worry either way.


That shape and size is pretty much what people are wanting too, so shorter boards are becoming the standard size nowdays, it would seem.

I am still more stoked on bigger and longer boards, but that is just me, so I am not worried either way, but these seem like they should be good for people, from what others have said too.

Wood grain, additional $1 per deck but only available if you chat with them and order on email.

I'm liking the 8.25 I got, a little shorter than I would like but I'm off Ventures for a bit so they are nice. Stomped a Hardflip and definitely felt the flex in the tail, everyone nearby thought it was cracked for sure but nothing so far. Think of it like a shorter Habitat / AWS in terms of kick fullness with a slightly steeper concave, and short.

Great value for the price IMO, but I believe they are flooded with orders for customs.

Just got the state fred gall shoes. Seems really low quality but I just wanted them because of freddy. Gonna use them for work.
And also my first pair of krux DLK kingpins, pushing the truck madness to the next level!

Edit: The size on these shoes is extremely off. No matter the company, I can always wear US 8.5 without problem, but these are huge for some reason. They're just too long

I haven't really messed with Real decks since I've been back in the loop but setting up this as a Christmas complete for my brother...sure seems nice...might have to find an 8.5 FullSE eventually.

I was riding an 8.5 with WW a while back. I felt that it enabled me to skate slightly sloppier than my lazy ass usually skates. Ate less shit in parking lots due to less wheel bite  ;)

Got all stoked on Tiago and bought some Indy Mids with his name on them.  Put some 94a top bushings in there and to my shock, they are insanely good and I quite like them for almost anything I can presently do on a skateboard.  If I want a light truck that I can flip around, I know where the Thunders are.  Meantime, I like how they're definitely Indys, but still feel unlike anything else.  Probably going to huff some gas and buy some Royals later at the rate I'm going, but what the fuck.

Back in 2004 my buddies and I went to a Fallen demo at Four Seasons in Milwaukee and we got to see Jamie Thomas and Chris Cole killing it live. I remember getting Cole to sign my sweaty Wilson headband because that's all I even had with me lol. Forgot his name but this burly skinhead dude ate it on a rail and slammed his head so hard he was bleeding, went to the hospital, and came back in time for the end of the demo.

So naturally, my stoke level is beyond measure for these Fallen reboots. Got a Cole signature Trooper and the Patriots with straps.

With some 8.5 Ventures on the way, I needed an 8.5 so I went to the local, shot the shit, stood on a bunch of different decks, got a shop deck, and came home.
Being able to actually see/stand on a deck before buying it vs. blind ordering on line has actually saved me money in the long run.

Accidentally did this at a Vans store but, got on a board and scuffed it. I bought it but the guy pointed out that it had a blemish and gave me a discount.

You could still go in and stand on some boards, even if you didn't buy anything, couldn't you?


I guess we are lucky here in Queensland, Australia, with minimal lockdowns and pretty much everything back open as normal again, but I know a lot of people miss that feeling of standing on a board before they buy it, no matter what the store is.


I couldn't tell you how many times I have been into stores, if for nothing more than to just browse, see what they have, look at the shape and feel the concave of any number of different decks and all the rest.

It really helps to then know what product there is out there, what you might prefer and what works for you, which you can then check with all the online stores (and sales) so you get a bit more of what you know you will like, rather than a lucky dip, hoping for the best, but maybe not getting something that is really that good for what you like.

Yeah being able to hold, measure, and stand on a deck in the shop is dope. You buy what you like and roll. On line, it may look good to you but you get it and its the wrong size, bad color ( I can’t do teal or sky blue paint) or you just hate it. Now you’re out 50-80 bucks.
I’ve probably bought 5-6 decks on line that I instantly hated when I took them out of the box. No more of that. I have two somewhat local shops and that’s where I’m going for decks from now on.

Polar is so popular that it seems that every shop around here gets the entire drop 4 times a year, which means they are frequently on sale too. So it would be good to get into them. I was eyeing the P9 and
1991 jr shapes as well…

I had an 8” Polar some years back and it felt super long and pointy compared to the boards of today, but obviously the P2 is neither of those things.

I picked the black and gum matt rodriguez slip ons. I Like supporting the company and get compliments on them but yea, quality isn’t there. Won’t stop me from getting another pair of states.

That is rad though.

You can get them to look at and enjoy for a bit, then before you get sick of looking at them, you can skate them too.


Best of both worlds?

it’s cool to have boards in your collection, but I always wind up skating the shaped ones eventually. They look too cool to just let hang on the wall

These definitely look like some kids shoes, but they were on sale for under $30 Canadian. I think it's because they were the last pair, but the other colourways are still selling on the same site for 80-90 so idk what's up with their pricing.

I also bought some Blazers for 40% off, which is as good of a deal as I'm gonna get on these.

At the end of the day, they are skateboards, meant to be skated.

I have clashed with some people in the past who are so against skating some of the limited editions, or even shop owners who instantly add another zero to the price, so yeah sure they have a number on them and someone somewhere will probably pay a lot more than they cost at RRP, but with everything "Grosso" or others nowdays who have been saving up and now unloading boards at up to ten times the price of them, just to have someone hang them or put them away in a box, just seems like a waste.

In saying that, once you buy a board, you can do whatever you like with it, but if I am buying a board, it is with the purpose to some day set up and skate, if not right now, at least that is the plan.

Even I have some sentimental graphics I have kept so sure I have those boards around, but they were bought with the intention to ride.


Reminds me of Ignition shop and some others who had posted on Instagram that they will only sell Grosso boards at RRP to people who will set them up in the shop and skate them, otherwise they are double, with profit going to Oliver.

That was pretty cool.


* Sorry, that hadn't meant to come out like a rant, but I guess I am stoked on your boards and brought back memories of funny people I have had dealings with in the past about boards.

Zero Ransom and Zero Cole Ripper.
Both 8.5 with a 14.5 wb. Around 32 inches long if I remember right. Just setup the Cole deck on some royal trucks and conical fulls tonight. I have a steep concave Enjoi coming in that I think I'm gonna make into my "tech board".

In addition to the aforementioned Polar P2 I caved in on some more post xmas sales. Shop was having all remaining stock for -50% so I copped some 53mm 99A F4 Classics, random Mosaic bearings and Nike SB Adversary Premiums. I’ve had a sick fascination with the Adversarys, they look so lame and so comfy…

Usually I buy my Busenitz at my local but they didn‘t have my size so I googled and found these at another shop in Switzerland. Never saw that colorway. They were on sale but I guess I would have even copped them if they weren‘t. They look great in person too.

Spitfire 80HDs are terrible IMO. If you want something you can use for a cruiser and still ollie with, OJ Keyframes are the best, with Ricta clouds in second.

I was initially thinking I would have no chance of getting one, but I guess they knew a lot of people would be keen on that one, hence the high number of production.

A couple of other Krooked Guest boards were only in the few hundreds.

I used to go in there every time I went over to Perth for work, from about 2007 to 2017, but I know Momentum, 1991 and other places all have good stock too.

To help with my own experiences (and I am all for Spitfire, all the time on my normal setups) but the 80HD wheels were only really comfortable going in almost straight lines, for which they were nice, smooth and fairly fast over pretty much everything. 

I ride fairly loose trucks, Indy usually but also have some of everything setup, so my trucks turn and I carve a fair bit, so this is where I start to have a problem with these wheels, as once I am into the carve, it is almost like the speed is sucked completely out and they feel like they are almost tipping over (as if the soft outer part of the wheel is coming off the harder core), to the point where if I am not watching out for that feeling, I get thrown off the board. 

Apart from that, they skate well as a cruiser wheel, but because of the lack of being able to carve turn easily, I really don't skate the half a dozen sets I have and couple of boards I still have them on, because if I forget, it is not fun.


The weird thing is it never happens on other soft wheels, like OJs, Ricta Clouds, or similar duros in other misc brands, as I can power round a pump track or through the city and not lose speed or have any carving issues on almost every other wheel in the same range.

This might also be why others don't like them, but for the most part, they skate fine from A to B over almost any normal terrain and are still a good size to pop an ollie up a curb or do similar things that are harder on massive soft wheels like those Satori big balls or whatever they were (60mm+) and similar sized wheels.


I am curious to hear what you think of them once you have them set up too, but don't mean to put you off them, by any means.

Seriously appreciate the write up as well as what you didn’t like about the wheels. Sucks to hear but maybe my luck and use case will be different. Been under the weather so wasn’t able to try these out just yet but will definitely keep you posted on my thoughts on it.

Just to chime in on the 80HD discussion. I have two sets of soft wheels. One set of Spitfire classics 80ds in 55mm and one set non-Spitfires (also cored, 55mm but 85a). The non-Spitfires feel exactly as described by Mbrimson88. Imagine tires that are slowly slipping of their rims in curves. Really strange and ugly feeling on them when carving, always expecting them to disintegrate. But not so with the Spitfires I have. At least I didn't notice it that much with them. Really fast wheels. I have them on a cruiser with Ace 33s and Bones medium bushings that I occasionally use in pump tracks. So much fun. My Spitfires are pretty old by now. At least 10 years, I guess. So production formula or age might be a factor.

Let me preface that I like Spitfires, just not the 80HDs.

Like said in other posts, they're great of riding straight only, not carving, off high curbs, ledges, or even slappying anything.

In my initial setting them up, two of the cores literally couldn't hold my bearing – you flip it and the bearing just plopped out. Luckily, my local shop, had seen that problem and weren't afraid of popping open a new set and giving you the wheels that worked (they returned the set to DLX as faulty). Then once I had them working, I was at a pump track – a bit slippy on smooth concrete, but I attributed that to being new wheels. Leaving the track, I rolled off a tall curb on the way to the parking lot and a heard rattling. Another core busted and wouldn't hold the bearing in.

Went to my shop, again, and once again, they were great about switching out a wheel. I bought OJ Keyframes. I switched out the 80HDs to my wife's cruiser which strictly only rides on the smooth beach path. No problems since.

Put the Keyframes on my board and have been able to ride pools, cruise, and slappy curbs galore with no problems at all.

Put the Keyframes on my board and have been able to ride pools, cruise, and slappy curbs galore with no problems at all.

What size OJs did you get? If these don’t work out, I’ll for sure get those. Also appreciate you taking the time to write all of that

Let me preface that I like Spitfires, just not the 80HDs.

Like said in other posts, they're great of riding straight only, not carving, off high curbs, ledges, or even slappying anything.

In my initial setting them up, two of the cores literally couldn't hold my bearing – you flip it and the bearing just plopped out. Luckily, my local shop, had seen that problem and weren't afraid of popping open a new set and giving you the wheels that worked (they returned the set to DLX as faulty). Then once I had them working, I was at a pump track – a bit slippy on smooth concrete, but I attributed that to being new wheels. Leaving the track, I rolled off a tall curb on the way to the parking lot and a heard rattling. Another core busted and wouldn't hold the bearing in.

Bought some Spitfire F4 Radial full in 57mm to see, if formula 4  really are that different from other wheels. Hope I won't regret spending my money.

I think you will enjoy them.

On the chance you don't like them, there is probably a rather long line of people willing to buy them, as they have sold out everywhere.

Waiting on a new street setup,  Skateboard Cafe 8.5 (Woodshop is HLC to my knowledge, let’s see how the EU wood fairs) Ace AF1 55, Formula Four 54mm Conical, Bronson G3.

Steering away from my usual Indy and bones setup, excited to try something new.

In addition to the aforementioned Polar P2 I caved in on some more post xmas sales. Shop was having all remaining stock for -50% so I copped some 53mm 99A F4 Classics, random Mosaic bearings and Nike SB Adversary Premiums. I’ve had a sick fascination with the Adversarys, they look so lame and so comfy…

Stupid me, apparently I ordered regular Classics and not F4s. Adversarys feel pretty stiff at first, let's see how they break in. Fit feels pretty similar to Bruin Reacts, a bit narrow for my wide feet.

Don't really know where is the right thread to post this.

Looks like the UK got the new Heroin (Skateboards) shipment. Hopefully Europe will follow soon.

https://www.sluggerskatestore.co.uk/collections/heroin

Maybe other shops will have some stuff too.

I am interested in the 8.25 decks..
BUT 14.6 wb sounds pretty wild for a 31.75 length.
What's up with that @darkthrone ? Or anyone else on here might know more?

Cheers pals.

That is a bit weird.

I had a look at a couple of other places, which also have them listed as 14.5 wb on the 8.25 but I thought it was more like 14.25 so unless someone forgot a "2" in there, maybe check with the shop before ordering, to see if they can measure it for you.

You're right, it is a 14.625, measured it myself, it's pretty long WB for an 8.25, its from the time I was riding 8.25's and wanted to stretch the WB and nose out a little bit, but might have to re-look at that soon. It seems to work though, as it's been out same 8.25 for a few years and people like it. Probably try and re-sample with a 14.125 WB or 14.25

Happy New year everyone.

Tried them yesterday. Nice wheels, but not like I can't ride anything else. If I'm being honest I could have bought some bones and there wouldn't be much of a difference.

I don't ever stock up on decks, but $45 for an FA deck is too good to pass up.

My current FAK was low on parts, so I decided to get a new one. I might transfer all the contents to a hardcase instead of leaving them in the bag.

Thinkin about getting another set to keep on ice since 60s are hard to come by here, but they're also so huge that I have no idea how long it would take to actually wear them down a significant amount.

sweden, yeah sent the picture to him on insta.

i think the eu got them before the us
[close]

That makes sense. US still hasn’t gotten them. They’re apparently stuck in a shipping container on the coast, because the port is so behind. They were supposed to release here in November. Still waiting. Super stoked for you though. How are they treating you?
[close]

have not skated them yet, got 3 pairs of reynolds mid to go through first. but they feel great, need g6 in my life.
got FOMO and bought all the pairs in my size  :-X

As someone who has bought multiple pairs of the same shoes for the same reason (Reynolds g6), as well as the same board (currently have 13 of the foy85 boards still, they’re the best shape ever, I’m already stressing about what I’m going to do when I finally go through them all. Overall I will have skated 28 of them when all is done.). I get the feeling of fomo all too well.

Will you be skating it or be wall hanging it? I'm really curious about the durability of these.

I just started skating my first pair of Vans Ave's and god damn, they're amazing!

Being the shoe hoarding deal whore that I am, I got 4 more pairs. One for a euro above half and the others for half of with 10% extra.

I REALLY need to stop this.

in the past 2 weeks I picked up a pair of those red&white leather half cabs and yellow & grey Krooked crew sweatshirt

then, I saw a low price on another 8.5 Real Full SE and scooped that since I set up the one I had on ice. Also found a Gonz Sweatpants blacklight shaped deck for $50 and swooped that as well. Figure I'll be all set for a while

Picked up a couple Otherness decks, both 8.25. One is Bareback and the other is a Brent Atchley board and it's not Bareback. Has a more FA/Hokey type shape and a 14-inch wheelbase. Set it up and it's pretty nice. The short wheelbase makes it feel very snappy.

Looked high and low, and found a pair of Emerica Wino G6 Slip Cup’s. Spanky’s cupsole slip-on that came out like 7 months ago.

Did a little flatground in them and they’re great. Definitely need to swap the insoles out though

If you did get one or more, when they arrive, I am curious to hear if it is actually 9 x 33 with 14.65 wb as the usual BBS boards of that size are 15 wb, or the shorter wheelbase versions are more like 32 and a bit long.

Curious anyway.

@camel filters I’m actually skating an 8.25 with 56’s on my regular setup. I’m one of those weirdos with a bunch of different boards and that now includes a comically small board. It takes a lot less effort to throw around and start to regain the muscle memory for long lost tricks. 7.75 feels small-small and isn’t something I’ve ridden regularly in close to 20 years(I was an early adopter to 8”+ boards)

I would say mediumish concave. The production date is stamped on the front truck baseplate area, which is something I’ve only seen on Shorty’s reissues. I think they’re done by Prime

I would be interested what you think about the quality of the wood. I had a Muska reissue and I felt the quality was not on par with DLX wood. Also it chipped very soon and quite nastily so that I was not able to skate it for more than a few weeks (usually I can keep a board a few months).

Jumping off twins for a minute as I wanted a square/fuller shape that wasn't 8.5.

8.25 Creature Stump

For those that liked the Wide Tip boards and/or squared off like the Quasi Proto or AWS offerings, this is for you. Super stoked that this sort of shape is still around on NHS wood, after the Wide tips were canned. It's the 'classic' creature concave, so compared to the norm, the kicks are steep and the concave is medium/deep.

Pretty sure I have said this before, but I know people who were a bit upset all the wide tip / blunt shapes were discontinued.

At least that looks more like the old normal boards that people enjoyed.


Curious how the 14.2 wb compares to your other boards of much the same proportions, even though they are twin kicks.

I got some 7mm FP insoles. Put them in a pair of Lynx Zeros (my go to shoe) and don’t really feel much difference. That’s just walking around though so we shall see when I skate them.

Jumping off twins for a minute as I wanted a square/fuller shape that wasn't 8.5.

8.25 Creature Stump

For those that liked the Wide Tip boards and/or squared off like the Quasi Proto or AWS offerings, this is for you. Super stoked that this sort of shape is still around on NHS wood, after the Wide tips were canned. It's the 'classic' creature concave, so compared to the norm, the kicks are steep and the concave is medium/deep.

Deck Length (Inches) 31.80
Deck Noselength (Inches) 6.8
Deck Taillength (Inches) 6.6
Deck Wheelbase (Inches) 14.2

Speaking with someone at NHS a while back (mainly about future twins), those who rode the widetips loved them but they didn’t sell for shit so they killed them; this deck shape isn’t 1:1 but it’s damn close. Note: the wide tip 8.25"s were 32", long with a 14.353WB.

It’s going to feel weird not being a twin and having to deal with board orientation etc…plus all the twins, especially the deathwishes are super mellow compared to this thing...the kicks are so steep!

Shrinking down from a 14.3wb might be a struggle and might require shelving the Royals for a minute and going back to thunders.

I totally get that - something doesn't work, get rid of it.


Funny that the Full shapes and the certain crowd that love them are more so the FA / Hockey, Quasi, maybe even Real Full SE type of people and not so much the NHS board people.

Just an observation though.

Because it’s NHS. The brands are ‘too old’, not trendy enough, which makes the team unpopular.

The vibe isn’t for everyone, but I couldn’t care less, shapes and wood is all that really matter…at minimum you can at least count on their dims being accurate board to board.

Picked up these 5.6 Venture Shanahan's at the vans store in the mall tonight. $20 for a pair of full metal Ventures is a deal I couldn't pass up! Also had a couple pairs of KB and Silvas Thunders on sale but not dirt cheap like these. Might want to check your vans mall stores if they happen to be ones who carry skateboard decks and hardware.

Old Skull 9x33x14.65


[close]


If you did get one or more, when they arrive, I am curious to hear if it is actually 9 x 33 with 14.65 wb as the usual BBS boards of that size are 15 wb, or the shorter wheelbase versions are more like 32 and a bit long.

Curious anyway.

I measured it as 9x33.125x14.65"

Stoked to try it out as this is my first 9"

The pics (in the 9+ boards thread) look really good!!!

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=97297.msg3736939#msg3736939

The slightly shorter wheelbase alone would make it so much more manageable for everything, given the orange eagle and other boards of similar dimensions all have 15" wheelbase, which just feels a bit too long for comfort for me anyway as a normal board, but great as a cruiser.

just in case someone gets confused by this as the marketing can be misleading (just check the Thunder thread page 9 lol), the team hollows just come with the standard cast baseplates which are taller than forged. Not baseplates that are taller than cast baseplates

I only needed a sheet of grip tape (Miles) but then I saw they had Lil Smokies. I want to try Formula 4 and they come in the small size that I like (48 mm). Then I figured if I bought wheels I might order bearings as well so the Swiss Six Balls went into the cart as well. Then I saw they had Polar 93s in my size so I ended up buying them as well...

Should be good - usually a bit flatter through the middle with fairly normal kicks.

Guessing they are all back to the brown stain now as well, which is the usual, rather than whatever they were on for a minute when they couldn't get BBS wood.

I went tts (10.5) in both and they’re both a little roomy. The Last Resorts are narrower than the Crockett’s though. They’re both chiller shoes for me, so I’m not worried about them feeling too big to skate in. I’d still prefer them this way than too small if I eventually skate in either pair. I never tried on 10’s in either pair so I genuinely don’t know how they’d fit half a size down. Sometimes my feet pull a truck on me where shoes feel good half a size down in the shop, but feel too tight after a couple days of wearing/skating

Does second hand stuff count?

This was from almost a week ago, but I haven't had time to try any of it yet.


So I bought some second hand product from a guy I know and it arrived yesterday, which was pretty good timing.

All up a couple of shaped decks, a couple of sets of wide trucks, over half a dozen sets of wheels in different sizes and duros and some bearings.

I hadn't had a chance to set anything up yet but it is definitely going to be fun getting into it all and seeing what works with what and all that.

Polar Dane 1 9.75 deck
Heroin Mutant Egg 9.6 deck
Thunder 151 Lights
Venture 6.1 Team Editions
Spitfire Formula Four wheels in 52, 54, 56 and 58 mm
Mini logo wheels in 56 mm 95 duro and 58 mm 90 duro

I used to love getting anything over 56mm for the extra width and the bigger wheels would be so good (and still are).

They last longer and as they wear down, really have that nice shape to them, wider profile which just worked really well for me and I mostly skate transition so they were perfect.

Picked up some Radial Fulls in the 56mm non-weed colourway (I smoke all the time but pot stuff on just about anything is too cringe for me to support). Shout out to The Drive Skate Shop in East Van &#128077;  (https://i.ibb.co/NpGBJjR/PXL-20220225-040353752.jpg) (https://ibb.co/5vJHS8Z)

W 8.88" WB 14.75" L 32.5"

Went on a trip to Cologne and visited the Concretewave skateshop. Went in with the intention of buying an Anti-Hero Curbageddon Huffer, but I saw this one and compared the two for a bit. Really dig the graphic and shape although I don't like that it is dipped. Dimensions looking good too. I like that the huffer has fatter at the back and skinnier in the front but was afraid the Huffer was going to be a bit too wide for me.

Dipped has often been something of a curse, but I think they are using better wood on those dipped boards now than they did on other ones a while ago.  I always try to scratch a bit off and see if there are any coloured ply layers hiding in there.

Either way it is a good size and shape for a bigger board without it being too big.

We'll see, it's on ice until my current deck has worn to the point I don't feel too wasteful skating a new one.  :D

Was thinking the same shapewise. Coming from an 8.5"W 14.5"WB 32"L, it shouldn't be too much of a difference but just a tad bit more comfortable/wide enough and stable while still being flippable, I think.

Awesome pics!!!


I am curious if there is any taper from the front to the back.

The other blue eagle, the shorter normal 8.5 shape definitely has a touch of taper from front bolts down to tail, but it is hard to tell unless you measure it, or put two side by side, head to toe.

I imagine they would probably sell quickly too.


Rip Ride shop only had the 8.75 left in stock, most likely already sold out of the 8.5 size.


More might come up though.  I did try the search with misregister all one word too, just in case you can't get any from Black Sheep.

What do you guys do with all those wheels, seriously? I have bought my wheels two years ago and they're still good, lost probably 5 mm on them but otherwise they're still fine. 4 of those sets would probably last me 10 years. I don't even know if I will still live in 10 years or if the world will still exist :-)

The 2 Cleaver 8.25 decks I ordered just came in, really interesting shapes.

8.25 x 31.75 x 14.25

Huge square nose like a FA, medium kick steepness and mellow across the middle.

They do look good!

Any boards still in shrink will keep indefinitely.

Just the usual board care, no direct sunlight, no extremes hot or cold, left flat graphic down / grip side up in boxes up to ten or so all the same concave has served me well over the many years I have had boards in storage.

Others might have different ways of keeping them though.

Bought some Indy Standards yesterday. Aside from a brief Ace Classics trial, this is the first time I've tried a different truck in like ten years.


Only cruised the parking lot and skated flat for a few minutes but right out of the gate they turn really well. Actually had to tighten them a smidge which is generally the opposite problem I have with new trucks. Gonna see once and for all if I should "fuck the rest".

Normally we hate each other it seems, but have identical truck experiences and preferences. I put cast inverted plates on my ti hangers and am enjoying them. Minus the fucking kingpin coming loose on it’s own.

I dunno. Might just be wanderlust, honestly. Sometimes with rougher spots I feel like I could benefit from a truck with a little more meat on it but we'll see how that goes. The praise gets a little hard to ignore so I just wanna see for myself.

I bolted my mid plates to my ti hangers and generally prefer the pop feel, really everything over lower variants maybe even versus the Mids. I might try those again but right now don’t see an advantage. I’m 6 foot 3 and liked Thunders on smaller decks, but don’t skate as fast and confidently on those setups because there just isn’t enough space.

Personally I prefer it, the nose especially. The P2 feels way more balanced than the FA/hockey or Quasi shapes that are similar. Might be an adjustment coming from popsicles but I feel like the nose is super forgiving for kickflips and heelflips.

My most recent purchase was Emerica Gamma G6, which was more sharply pointed than I imagined and feeling a bit tighter than I hoped, but will probably loosen after a bit of breaking in. I feel the shape and fit is actually quite similar to the Bruin Reacts I'm currently skating

How thick is the g6 insole in the heel area? How much higher does it lift your foot say compared to a nike zoom insole or something similar?

@EmericaTM can confirm but I think he wrote in the shoe thread that G6 is not STI or anything other Soletech companies use. Curious to see how they work as I feel I wish my Pop Cush insoles were a bit lower, but I also don't need what Footprint and serious orthotics offer.

Be interested to hear updates on the back. I’ve been skating a little bit, mostly in some era’s, my back feels cooked. I am very old, out of shape, do not stretch, only skate flatground. Lots of things I could do, like lose some weight, stretch, etc. fuck that. If these insoles work I’m buying.

The only way I can enjoy exercising is by skating as hard as I can. Can’t do that when my back is hurting. I’m currently using an ab-wheel and a kettle bell to work on my core, but I don’t really work out. I might change that up too though

So far the Tiago shoe is the perfect shoe for me. With NB coming out with a second Tiago shoe there’s a chance the 1010 gets fazed out eventually. I got the Emericas to try out the G6 midsole to see if it’ll work for me. My understanding of skate shoe tech is that a midsole is more important than an insole, but you can pair them together

I’ve been on the 1010 train, but couldn’t leave well enough alone and now I like skating in vulcs again. So dumb. The ‘logic’ is that a less structured shoe helps me stay up on the balls of my feet, better grip/flick, and because my feet are less protected I can’t skate as long and just pound myself into dust trying 350 really shitty kickflips per session. Dumb.
My understanding is that your understanding is accurate: midsole is more important.

Never tried them before and hope they are like Polar, coz it is also a bbs.

Should be good - usually a bit flatter through the middle with fairly normal kicks.

Guessing they are all back to the brown stain now as well, which is the usual, rather than whatever they were on for a minute when they couldn't get BBS wood.
I haven thought about this but now i ordered another magenta - the jameel douglas guest board from the previous drop and the bottom is brown. Also looking through the new collection all of the graphics are on brown, too.

Got a magenta deck on sale.
7.875/31.25/14
Never tried them before and hope they are like Polar, coz it is also a bbs.
[close]


Should be good - usually a bit flatter through the middle with fairly normal kicks.

Guessing they are all back to the brown stain now as well, which is the usual, rather than whatever they were on for a minute when they couldn't get BBS wood.

I haven thought about this but now i ordered another magenta - the jameel douglas guest board from the previous drop and the bottom is brown. Also looking through the new collection all of the graphics are on brown, too.


Yes, between Passport and Magenta, they love their brown wood stains, which are almost like their trademark colourway for their boards.

I think I read about it somewhere but cannot recall right now where or what was said, just that it was interesting and a little funny - not at all a serious answer really.

i got tactics 7.75, 8, 8.25

i set up the 7.75 yesterday on 5.2 lows and 53mm stf v3s and they felt so good, flip like nobody's business and just stick to the foot real good if that makes sense. I might just get 3 more of the 7.75 cause they're like $30/pop with grip shipped.

Not sure what the reasoning behind the razor edge is aside from next level shinners. Maybe it makes the board feel wider than it is?
I had the BAKU board board and i softened the edge with a sander. Loved it

Lil smokies are formula 4 and they skate great
If u like 50mm wheels

Don't want to do the maths it wasn't one purchase
Didn't cost as much as it looks tho, shoes were all $50 aussie or under

Only thing that I paid full price for is the saint marks deck and
I would happily pay those dudes full price especially being from Sydney and all..

Spits formula 4 OG Classics in 53mm. Wanted to try a wider wheel since a long time. I am usually on 54mm classics.

Are wider wheels a advantage or disadvantage for my type of skating? (Flat, Banks, Flatrails, Ditches and crusty alleyways.)

I think they might be a bit harder to flip but what about powerslides, nose- and tailslides? Isn't that easier with a wider and more square contact patch? Enlighten me pals.

i think it supposedly keeps the board for sogging out/makes it more crisp but i don’t personally believe that. I had the 9 symmetrical egg with razor edge and didn’t really feel a difference. heroin shapes are super good. did you skate the deerman shape or just a baku graphic?

Never skated puma before. The insole feels way to light and soft (but not in a good), that can be changed though.

Honestly shouldn't be buying much skate stuff. I try to skate once a week and I feel like I feel sore as soon as i hit the park and start trying to get the board off the ground. My knees feel like they carry a elephant lately.

I read in the Magenta webpage that this guest board is made especially with steeper concave than the rest of their boards and it is true. The tail is steeper than my other magenta and the concave is a bit deeper. I bought the adidas second hand for 10 euros. Vs pace model, synthetic upper, it is light and comfy but the insole need to be changed with something more cushioning.

Do you plan to skate those vs pace? I had 3 pair, and for sure they are nice, light, and really pleasant to wear, but yeah, the insole is filmsy, and the synthetic upper make them stinky pretty quickly. :D I skated a pair a few hours and they held up surprinsingly well, but regarding the cheap construction I'm pretty sure the sole wouldn't last very long!

I bought them for sk8ing coz they were cheap and i don't want to destroy my other shoes yet, so if they last me a month i would be more than happy. My concern is that the synthetic upper may not last long, but i have some ripcare to spread upon. I quess the sole is also like you say, but... 10 euros :) will skate shit out of them :D

just in case you didn't know, the supercush bushings are designed for Ventures. Thunders have a bottom conical bushing and the supercush are barrel bottoms. You may lose some turning capability running the supercush in the Thunders. There are aftermarket thunder bushings and thunder rebuild kits out there that you should try if the supercush doesn't work out.

My go to every time I tweak my ankle...unless it's REALLY bad then I slap on the beast that is the Etc.

It's my push foot (skating regs, natural stance)....what fucks me up the most are bailed heelflips; however I land on a bailed one, the position of my rear foot has a 75% chance to send my ankle into the void; I stay away from heelflips these days on flat, if I do them off something I have a better chance of choosing the stick or bails.

Edit: I've done ankle rehab since the dawn of my ankle rolls and it still doesn't help me (anymore) but I still do them for preventive measures ; my last severe ankle roll took me out for 6 months and I never recovered properly from that one, it's not a forever tweaked. I'm sitting down typing this and I can feel the tweak. Crazy.

My ankles have been bad since I was a kid, literally at one point the tendons were so stretched out I could fold over on my ankle well beyond normal range and it did nothing.  Which was convenient but also... not great haha

3 years ago I sprained my ankle so bad I literally had to relearn everything, took almost a whole year to be able to kickflip again.

I use these on both ankles all the time now, and I don't see ever skating without them.

Before these I used a Shock Doctor figure 6 brace, which is very similar to the ETC brace.
The Aryse brace is significantly lower profile.  It also gives you much better up and down movement in your feet/ankles. 
I could feel my pop was impeded by other braces, these not at all.

I'm really thinking about getting one of these because I'm currently recovering from a broken left ankle (I'm regular) and I want to be able to get out and at least start pushing around in about a month. It looks a little bulky though will it fit in a normal skate shoe comfortably? And does it bother you at all for flip tricks or anything noticeable when you skate? I'm also hoping to get out of the walking boot in the next 2-3 weeks so do you think it would help make the transition easier from walking in the big ass boot to just walking normally in shoes? I've never had an injury like this and it's bumming me out seeing the weather get nice out and I still can't do shit.

I would second this.

Coming off something that serious the ETC or a Shock Doctor Figure 6 brace will give your ankle significantly more rigid support.

The Aryse brace is more to prevent from going over normal range of motion, not constant support.

As for once your ankle is back to more normal, the Aryse brace for me hasn't been noticable at all for tricks, only when you fuck something up. Today my foot came off the nose when landing a back 180 and I felt my ankle start to roll over but the brace catches you.

Technically not directly a skateboarding thing, but these Aryse ankle braces are amazing.
Finally something to stabilize my goopy ankles that doesn't ruin my already terrible trick selection
(https://i.ibb.co/J2Q5php/thumbnail-3.jpg) (https://ibb.co/J2Q5php)
[close]

My go to every time I tweak my ankle...unless it's REALLY bad then I slap on the beast that is the Etc.

It's my push foot (skating regs, natural stance)....what fucks me up the most are bailed heelflips; however I land on a bailed one, the position of my rear foot has a 75% chance to send my ankle into the void; I stay away from heelflips these days on flat, if I do them off something I have a better chance of choosing the stick or bails.

Edit: I've done ankle rehab since the dawn of my ankle rolls and it still doesn't help me (anymore) but I still do them for preventive measures ; my last severe ankle roll took me out for 6 months and I never recovered properly from that one, it's not a forever tweaked. I'm sitting down typing this and I can feel the tweak. Crazy.

Damn, just bought some. I've finally weaned off of ankle braces, skating just dunk/jordan/nb440 highs tied somewhat tight with the intention of working my way to low tops. But these sound like a good option for that transition, or when I'm skating something a little sketchier or outside my comfort zone.

Does the plastic cage get uncomfortable? And if you wear longer socks can you fold the sock back over to cover the brace somewhat well?

I barely notice the plastic cage honestly.  I feel it under foot a little when I first put it on but besides that I barely feel like I have anything on.

Can't speak to the sock thing as I never fold mine over but I can check if I remember next time I go skate.
Had some time in between meetings so grabbed a few shots.  These are the lowest profile shoes I own, and it hides pretty well under long socks if you care to.(https://i.ibb.co/swtWV5D/thumbnail-4.jpg) (https://ibb.co/swtWV5D)(https://i.ibb.co/yVj4f53/thumbnail-2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/yVj4f53)

Blondey shoes yesterday, Blondey shorts today

I don't care for him, but I am interested in how the shoes hold up. Plus, I wanted to try that Indoor Super sole. Those shorts look like they would be super comfortable for indoors during winter. If they weren't from skate shops, I doubt I would have even considered buying them.

I need to stop being a gear whore. I only have one setup at a time, so I shouldnt have this many sets of everything else.
today I bought 2x 8.8 magenta logo boards
but in the mail I received one 53mm set of Del Negro Dialtones, and some of the free bearings they were doing with purchase, and some tough stuff hardware, along with two tees and a bunch of zines.
Oh yeah in the magenta order I got another hat (even worse, another magenta hat) and another magenta tee.
Kind of a sucker for magenta you might say.

Finally copped the Carl aikens deck to skate. Have had it in my cart for so long and finally got myself to buy it. Looking forward to skating a deck that was basically hand shaped for venture 5.8s. Hate to admit how much I am influenced by pros I like and the gear they ride. Will basically be skating carls exact setup (wrongfully) thinking that I will be able to skate like him. Been a minute since I skated a longer wb than 14.25 but it should be better for my long legs

Goddamn I’m super jealous. I want this same setup, for the same reasons. I’m also influenced.

I’ve been testing the upper limits of my wb tolerance, and I may have found it, 14.75, but I’m really short. I say that to say, you’ll be fine, imo. With all of the different shit I attempt to ride, the key is just to keep it all together long enough to adjust to it.

I just opened (came a few days ago) the pennswood deck (8.75 with 14wb.) I’m so stoked to set it up. I’m really trying not to set it up until I need too but I got some thunder team hollows coming so I may just throw it together with those and some old 52mm classics or maybe I’ll go get some conical fulls or 56mm classics and wear them down to 54.

When I worked in skating FKD was kind enough to give me a bearing press. In the 13ish years I didnt skate it sat in my basement and when I went and got it I was so damn glad I had it. theyre just super handy and nice to have.

Post by: LebowskisRug on April 23, 2022, 03:49:04 PM
I’ve had some Spitfires that were really tight to get the bearings into and the normal press onto the truck method can lightly damage a bearing. I buy more expensive bearings with the goal of making them last and my Swiss 6 have had 4 solid years so far so the press is a great investment overall

I somehow managed to get some sb dunks at retail and switching from blazer lows to dunks has been pretty jarring: stiffer, less board feel and less grippy. I guess thats why people like cupsoles?

The laces are also way more exposed and rip quite easily, yet the puffy laces in the correct color are way harder to come by, replacing with some random laces sounds shitty.

yeah i know I'm a crybaby and most people would be #blessed to get a pair of these elusive shoes. Anyone else have buyers remorse from buying dunks?

Some comically wide Scram 62mm wheels for this 80’s board I have. I love the Beach Bum. I don’t love that DLX scaled it up. Four more until I have to start getting the bigger size and cutting them down

161s?
I haven’t been doing shapes as of late, but that looks sweet!
161 hollow lights with 56mm 97a classics. I skate it almost as much as my regular setup. Some days I wind up skating only the Beach Bum. The only trick that doesn’t work for me on it is 360 flips

I’ve got a crap 360 flip. To go with my other crap tricks. Lately it occasionally works on really big boards, which is cool, because then it’s a crappy 360 flip on a gigantic board and it feels like it looks like it’s taking my total essence to make it go. But apparently I’d rather work on that instead of learning something new, or trying something else. Enough of my woe.
I’m so stoked on the commitment in this pic. It’s so dope. My favorite gear related pic I’ve seen lately.

Magic Sticky Hands sounds like a sexual thing...

Changing up my pants game for 2022 and got a pair of RVCA Camo Pants, that was probably holding my 360 flips from being Kalis level.

If they’re the reg busenitz and you’re only going to use them for skating. I would suggest putting a tiny amount of shoe goo on the Ollie area stitching. I had 5 pairs in the past, loved them but that stitching would shorten the service life by a good amount.

I somehow managed to get some sb dunks at retail and switching from blazer lows to dunks has been pretty jarring: stiffer, less board feel and less grippy. I guess thats why people like cupsoles?

The laces are also way more exposed and rip quite easily, yet the puffy laces in the correct color are way harder to come by, replacing with some random laces sounds shitty.

yeah i know I'm a crybaby and most people would be #blessed to get a pair of these elusive shoes. Anyone else have buyers remorse from buying dunks?
I'm a huge fan of dunks and they are really nice to wear for a whole day with a bit of skating here or there like 1010s. The dark secret is that they aren’t great skate shoes and style/durability is their strong suit over flick, board feel, impact protection, and grip.

IMO The main thing Dunks have going for them is they are hands down the best looking skated shoe.

grabbed some of the new Nick Boserio wheels, hoping they'd be the classic combo shape in 99a or a new 60mm mini combo shape. Turns out I got owned and they're just 58mm mini combos; identical to the shin sanbongi ones from a while ago.

Good news for everyone that liked the 58 shins I guess, but bad news for me.

Street corner jawns. Very good.
Some long long time venture loyalists, that I admire for their dedication to the V, claim the geo changed either after dlx took over, or semi recently (two different claimers saying this, I believe that dlx bought venture somewhere around like what, 2014? So who knows..). One dude switched to Indy. Aaaaaanyways, hopefully

Good info. I’ve skated a dwindle impact light and didn’t like how heavy and stiff it was; have also been tempted by the pop secret decks - but those are apparently very heavy. It’s interesting that the vx  is actually light and feels like a standard deck.

I don’t think my locals carry much nhs either.
You break boards, like a g, I do not, because I only sorta skate.
The techy boards are for sure a benefit for those that break boards, but it’s good to hear the vx has some performance enhancing properties! The last composite board I really liked was a p2, and it was weird: stiff to the point where my legs/knees/back would hurt more than usual, but my real takeaway from that board was that sometimes I got 1.5x pop, and sometimes I got .5x pop, and I never figured out why. It’d be like back to back attempts. Remembering this has me wanting to try one again. Gainz
Didn’t Alien do a 6 ply way back when? I feel like I had this sick white orange green Kalis that was 6 ply, noticeably lighter. Which was nice.
Anyways, super dope setup

@rocklobster I had an impact something or other, and it was very whatever. Just felt…wrong.

Did they increase the price on the VX decks? I remember them retailing for $80 a year ago, now they are going for close to $90.


I think all that sort of stuff has gone up a fair bit more now.

They certainly have a lot here, but everything goes up a lot more in AU.

not bought, but given for free - and not new by any means. but i was able to rehab them with some red stock venture bushings i swapped out of a deck for the nfg bushings. other than the pivot cups being worn they still have a lot of life in them so i put them on a deathwish complete i also nabbed for free a while back  8)

Street corner jawns. Very good.
Some long long time venture loyalists, that I admire for their dedication to the V, claim the geo changed either after dlx took over, or semi recently (two different claimers saying this, I believe that dlx bought venture somewhere around like what, 2014? So who knows..). One dude switched to Indy. Aaaaaanyways, hopefully
You like those! They look sick, like straight outta the kayo corp video

thanks dude! i'm pretty excited, there's definitely something slightly different about the design, not super drastic obviously,  but even if it's in my mind because of the colors that's all good too

extra nerdery for you - there was still a bit of price sticker on the bottom of the baseplate. nothing legible and barely of consequential size, but it i got way too excited about it still having an element it originally sold with

@rocklobster Unfortunately had to order them online because my local shop doesn’t even carry Creature

@ok it’s noticeably lighter than a normal 7ply deck so flip tricks took a lot less effort

I remember one of my friends used to skate those kevlar top ply Tum Yeto boards. Those things were awful and never felt right. These feel like actual skateboards
[close]

I don’t think my locals carry much nhs either.
You break boards, like a g, I do not, because I only sorta skate.
The techy boards are for sure a benefit for those that break boards, but it’s good to hear the vx has some performance enhancing properties! The last composite board I really liked was a p2, and it was weird: stiff to the point where my legs/knees/back would hurt more than usual, but my real takeaway from that board was that sometimes I got 1.5x pop, and sometimes I got .5x pop, and I never figured out why. It’d be like back to back attempts. Remembering this has me wanting to try one again. Gainz
Didn’t Alien do a 6 ply way back when? I feel like I had this sick white orange green Kalis that was 6 ply, noticeably lighter. Which was nice.
Anyways, super dope setup

@rocklobster I had an impact something or other, and it was very whatever. Just felt…wrong.

I got a few Impact decks on ice but I haven't brought them out of storage to even consider setting 1 up yet. Stockpiled a bunch of DSM R7 decks that I really should get down to riding.

Had a hit and miss experience with the P2 decks I rode, 1 was amazing, the other 2 were very ho hum.

I’m a sucker for this shape, so I doubled down & picked up a pair of them. Clutch Z4, both with the cursed red top ply to ward off the superstitious.
Sticker jobs, stencils, stupid grip, here I come.

Guessing they had to take one out of shrink wrap to take some pretty pictures, so you have the supermodel right there.

Do you guys think some DYLON dye woud make them a solid black? i don't wanna tie-dye them accidentally!

anybody tried making kinda blueish jeans black?

Any help is appreciated!

i had some dark blue jeans that got faded as fuck and i dyed them black. it worked, they were black at first but after skating them in the sun for a few weeks they turned into that purple-black color, like a permanent marker when it dries out, didn’t look good.

8.3 Quasi Henry twin

I'm on the ishod 8.3 twin and have been eyeing up that Quasi.  Is yours BBS pressed, yeah?   There's one site in the UK claiming it's pressed by PS Stix and the top photo they used looks like it's got the PS Stix etching at the front bolts.
[close]

I've a love hate with the dlx 8.3 (of the 3 I've had I've gotten very injured...so I'm just letting that one go). Been on the 8.5 Foy, just want a trimmer 8.3.

@wrinkletusk I would say PS as it is laser engraved, but it doesn't say 'manufactured by PS' and it also has the BBS dot...so I'm going with BBS.

(https://i.ibb.co/VQgHSgk/unnamed-2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/VQgHSgk)

Also has sweet ass matching top/middle plys

(https://i.ibb.co/YRc5xCS/unnamed-1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/YRc5xCS)

I'll come back in two weeks to let you know if it's flattened out and confirm it's PS :)
[close]


Such a good clear and crisp pic of the top, which I would say is BBS.

I am going to copy this to the Woodshop thread, given I think this is the first post I have seen of the Quasi BBS board with pics like that.

Thanks again for posting such detail.

Y’all are being way too kind! But, yes please anyone coming through Austin give me a shout! I’ll tour guide you around, we’ll catch a sesh, and there’s a very good chance you will see a husky transition skater get absolutely broken of trying to skate street (me).

Bummed me and @BartHarleyJarvis didn’t get a chance to link up, but we will make it work at some point we’re, I can assure you of that!

And @camel filters it has been entirely too long since we caught a sesh so we need to change that shit ASAP.

To keep it on topic: I got this heroin hat while I was working in Dallas a few weeks ago. The shop is called The Pointe and it’s in Deep Ellum. Really rad little shop, awesome dudes that work there, and the bowl in the back is an absolute BLAST. Also, it’s less than 300 feet away from the Riley Gale (of Power Trip) Memorial. So go over there, support them, buy some
shit, skate the bowl, and pay your respects to Riley.

I'm not sure yet... Initially I thought I'd put it on the wall but that shape, when standing on it, it begs to be skated. The shape looks almost the exact same as the one with which I landed my first kickflip in the early 90's, just with steeper concave and more up to date nose and tail lengths.

I think 8.25 trucks will fit best depending on what wheels I use, I already have some Indy's and Thunders in that size, I prefer Thunders, and I also already have some 52mm Spitfire Classics so it will probably be that.

14 wb
31.875
6.8 tail
6.875 nose

Still not sure if I found my gold setup or not.
Even more confusing since I am 5'8 with a 7.5 shoe size.

Indy 149 Hollows. Super surfy to ride nuts flush with stock bushings. Surfier than the Lurpivs with a bit more wheelbite. I am tempted to tighten them but resisted so far. Top bushings already crumble after three sessions, I might pop in some Bones hard top bushings which I have laying around if this gets worse.

I have bones hards in mine and they are perfect. It's definitely worth trying.

So weird if the bushings are actually falling apart.  Those stock bushings (in any colour) usually hold up really well for most people I know who ride them, but I have definitely seen a few bits coming off them on the outside of the tops where the washer has cut into them, but the middle are still fine.

I guess every bushing will have some issues from time to time, but I usually always swap my Indy bushings out for special ones anyway, harder duro with low heads.  This last board I set up I left the stock ones in just to see and although it is a different feeling, they still work well enough for me.

I'm 6,3" with UK 12's and have just set one of these up after not getting on with the primitive 8.38 i bought a couple weeks ago. I haven't got to skate it yet tho, cant decide what trucks to go with.

i love my 5.8 ventures so ive stuck them on but the tapers telling me to slap 5.6's on instead.

have to wait and see how the 5.8's feel when i get the chance to roll out this week.

I would say your truck size depends on the wheels you have. If you have slim wheels (spit classics) I would run 5.8s. If you have wider wheels (spit conical fulls) I would run 5.6s. You can also experiment with washers too.
By the way, I never rode venture trucks in my life, so ^^

im running the f4 clasics right now, prefer a slim wheel so I'm sure i can get away with the 5.8's just be interesting to see what happens when i land primo due to the taper on the tail end of the deck. will it stay stable or roll over and take out my ankles. :o

I get what you are saying, but I think the difference between 5.6 and 5.8 is only 5mm so you should be safe there. Sounds like a stable setup, 8.25 deck with 8.5 trucks.

Great shop with great people. To your issue, call the phone. Crew is Brian (the owner) and a very small staff. My guess is that there has been three Dunks releases in the last five days and the email/DMs are a shitshow as of now. Not making excuses but it gets real ugly.

Go with 8.25 trucks on the G052. It isn't that full and tapers ever so slightly. It's a really nimble shape I wouldn't want to slow it down with larger trucks.

I preferred Thunders or Indy's more on it tho.

never ordered from them but visited on a dc skate trip a few months ago and the dude who owns it is rad + definitely working really hard- i think it’s like him and one other dude holding it down (locals feel free to school me) so my bet is he’s just swamped. i back crushed for sure

I had meant to say the other day, but got distracted and only saw this again now.

Yes I think I have seen quite a few bushings of all brands like this, but for the most part they still work well enough, although some people I know have had a bit of a freak out about it.  If I have spares, I will usually swap them in for them and use their bushing in another set of trucks, usually on a cruiser which are still going strong.

They do tend to soften up or trucks loosen up as they crumble too, which for some people is an issue, but for others, it is perfect.


There are so many good sales on at the moment, but right now I haven't bought anything for a while, which is good for the credit card balance, but funny cause I keep thinking I could be getting bargains...

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.
this isn’t the thread to gloat about getting a “mid-five figure pay raise”, go pay for stuff full price at a local shop and leave the deals for the poor and working class gear hoarders

5 4 x Enjoi “blanks”. Very minimal graphic that will be getting the sticker treatment.

And not really a skate thing but bought with skating very much in mind, a therapeutic muscle gun.

Used it 20 mins pre skating and my legs get young all over again

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.

Solid stash there, especially the Habitat, Royal and eS Accel Plus, rode a pair a few months ago and reminded me why I love a solid cupsole like that. Kept it's shape through 2 months of intense sessions and only broke out the Shoe Goo on week 3. Vulcs are feeling too floppy for me right now.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

I put the white laces in. They look like skate Air Forces now.  Once the paint(?) wears away, I’ll see how I feel. The stock laces weren’t doing it for me on the all white

I definitely feel you on this. The only reason I haven't been more seriously considering the Fusions is because my atoms and isotopes are still running so well, i don't really need a better version...

so my daily is an 8" with 14" wheelbase and one of my favorite boards is a 7.75 with a 13"-something wheelbase so i might not be the best to ask BUT i don't feel cramped on it personally. now that i type that out, i think it's why i'm so stoked on the board, it's a mix of my two favorites in a fun shape. i'll report back if i get it on trucks any time over the holiday weekend, but i'm torn between just setting it up fresh top to bottom or throwing the trucks off my other board when it's toast

so my daily is an 8" with 14" wheelbase and one of my favorite boards is a 7.75 with a 13"-something wheelbase so i might not be the best to ask BUT i don't feel cramped on it personally. now that i type that out, i think it's why i'm so stoked on the board, it's a mix of my two favorites in a fun shape. i'll report back if i get it on trucks any time over the holiday weekend, but i'm torn between just setting it up fresh top to bottom or throwing the trucks off my other board when it's toast

Man you are tempting me. Honestly if the graphic was better I'd have copped by now but I'm looking for any excuse not to buy shit even though I want to so bad lol

I was missing the AV classic high so I bought the vans surf line sk8 hi

(https://i.imgur.com/ct4B7Qa.jpg)

But I removed all the colourful thread and the patch on the side with a seam ripper and added some centring straps for the tongue. I like the PF flyers style toe bumper around the front.

Looks nice!
How’d you attach the straps under the insole?
Hot glue or something??

Post by: Wheelbitefred on July 06, 2022, 05:50:22 PM
Close! I had some heavy canvas kicking around, I traced the insole on to it and cut it out. I sewed the strap to the tongue on each side but left it connected in a “U” shape and sewed that to the canvas. Then I shoe goo’d the canvas down below the sole and placed the insole overtop. The tongue sliding around drives me nuts!

So good!!!

This is the sort of thing I find amazing to see, when you gotta go that far to get something exactly how you like it, but it is so worth it.

This is so rad, proper good DIY job. Would love to learn how to add those straps - they're the best thing Vans have added since upgrading the Skate line.

Force 58 premiums. Needed some all whites for some [non-skate] summer fits and CCS still has their 20% off sale going on. They'll be trashed just in time for fall skating.

Ya, the below colorway. The suede break in easy and they skate fine/great, tho the eyestay gets shredded pretty fast.

Underrated shoe, probably because they're nothing special tech-wise (other than being a vulcanized cupsole). Oddly, they net tons of compliments (non-skaters as well). I still have a pair on ice. The poorman's dunk with the 'force' branding. I would have gotten AF1s but might as well get something to skate after they get wasted.

From Nike:

"The new design delivers the durability of a cupsole with the flexibility you need to reduce break-in time and maximize skate days. Tri-star shapes on the sole expand and contract for better grip and boardfeel right out of the box."

They do break in easy and they are comfy.

According to Quantum they are atoms with a Diamond nitride coating. Basically the coating fills any surface imperfections better and will take an absurdly long time to wear off. Longer lasting Atoms especially if you run them without shields. They don't feel different yet.

Tyshawn Low. After about 10 years of only Lakai's my feet feel like some more support and less floppy sidewalls.

Campus ADV and Samba ADV also look pretty sick. ADV is like some Adidas Cupsole yeah?

Been wearing the all white leather Samba ADVs all summer as chillers. Super comfortable for walking around and cruising but I don’t know how they’d hold up to an actual session of skating

Have been wanting a polar dane 1 shape for a while but didnt have an 9 inch trucks....could have ordered indys or ace for it, but went with the most unpopular pick and got some 9 inch krux k5s for it since they were on sale this week. I may hate them or i may love them. I know the easy choice for me would of been indy or ace but i ride indy on my regular daily setup and wanted to switch it up and try something new. Ill update on the k5 trucks once i ride them

Hell yeah man, that’s going to be a fun set up. Update us in the polar shapes thread once you have some time on it!

Campus ADV’s
Shintaro Hongo DC Metrics

I haven’t had a pair of cupsole Campus’ since before the launch of this version of Adidas Skateboarding. I’m guessing the last time was around 2006. I loved them then. Not sure why I’ve waited 16 years to get another pair to skate  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Those DCs look really sick. made me go rewatch his wknd part and he was wearing them in a few clips.

The Hongo's look way better in non stock photos. Look less like a toy. I also thought that they didn't have laces, and those were elastic straps.

How do you like the Tyshawn’s? I had the first Tyshawn’s and I can’t remember but I think I went a 1/2 size up

The fit on the Tyshawn Lows is pretty good for my weak, skinny feet. True to size 7.5 for me. But I don't like that my ankles sit a bit higher in these, or that they cut the ankle side of the shoe lower for this model. But for chilling they are great. I will check the new Campus ADV out soon.

But it's still, that Lakai's fit me the best. But they are Lakai's

I’m fucking embarrassed to say this but I just bought some on Amazon… because they were $34. Only one pair left in my size so I guess that’s why they were so cheap but I could not pass that up. The original shoe was one of my favorite shoes back in the day so I had to do it

How is the toe box on the Spanky KSL G6 shoe? Most Emerica are a bit wide for me there. I prefer a slim and narrow toe box in my skate shoes.

If emericas are wide for you, you'll think these wide. I prefer/need a wide toe box, and while these aren't as wide as I normally want, they squashed out and are pretty roomy. The new Provost look narrow (same pour in g6)

Broke my "no new gear" vow because I had to try the Dragons. I live in a rust belt city so crusty and decaying that our bridges keep falling apart, so I'm always interested in soft street wheels. The best ones I've found yet are the NFG 95A crust formula so curious how these compare.

Opted for middle ground with the 54mm v4 shape, though I kinda wish I had gone for the 56mm conical ones now. These are probably a better reference point for me though as I've skated this shape before.

Needed to get free shipping and the Enjoi wrasslin decks were on clearance for $35 so I snagged this one. Jake the Snake taught me a lot of valuable life lessons when I was a kid, and Caswell was always a highlight of the tilt mode and enjoi vids for me so it made sense at the time.

Dims are 8.25" x 31.9" 14.25" wb
Mellow concave/steep kick.

I bought this thinking I was going to put it on the wall some day but I kinda like the look of it. It's a little longer than my ideal, but should be doable. I like the taper and really like how flat the concave is, and the nose looks very skateable. The tail is slightly terrifying though. Shits long and steep as fuck, it almost looks like a twin nose shape or something. If they just mellowed that tail out and shaved like an 1/8th of an inch off it I would probably be in love with this shape. Madness has a square one with the right dimensions that I love but it's med/med and a kinda spoony mold so I would prefer this one with those dims. I really wish dwindle would start making mellow concave/medium kick decks over 7.5" again.

Anyways not sure if I'm gonna set it up or not. Gonna compare that tail with some of my steeper setups and see how I feel about it. My madness isn't completely gone because my first instinct was "oh this would be perfect for the new ace low 44" but I really don't want to buy another set of trucks. Anyone got a set you want to trade for indys/thunders/ventures/films etc?

The stickers are all an unexpected gift from the homie, got some really cool bronze 56k and side effect ones in there.

Way, way too much with this junkyard.com-deal from the euro sale thread. First 3 for 2 with 50% of, then 4 for 2. Like 70-90% discount.


4 frogs, 6 alltimers, two polar, a cash only, a picture show and a quasi. One set of film 5.25, venture hollow high 5.2 and two sets thunder hollow 147. ricta 52 mm 101a asta and yuri wheels, 53 mm shanahan crystalcore 95a, dailtone 52 mm 99a, a set of bronx 101a and haze 99a, euro brands.

Since the 5 pairs of emericas i've mentioned in the madness support thread I've gotten 4 pairs of state keys, one vista, dc manual rt s, globe surplus and motley II strap.

9 pairs of stance and stinky socks, a sour tee, two dime hoodies and a jet lag bros hoodie.
I might have missed something. Fuck.

Copped a pair of these from the sale gear thread. This is the fifth pair of Crockett Highs for me... I hope they never stop making this shoe.

Got the new Leo Baker radials and a snazzy sticker to go along with it.  Glad to get some natural urethane radials in a smaller size. This shape is basically perfect if you ask me.

Bought two new kinetic shirts because I was sort of bummed I couldn’t make it to the 20th anniversary thing at 7th street. I also got another quasi egg. I’m not really sure why because I am not sure I like skating egg shapes - the proto 8.5 is the best shape ever and I’m currently skating that with two on ice for later. I currently have two set ups quasi egg on venture 6.1 and 8.5 proto on 5.8 ventures. I definitely prefer the proto but it can be fun to mix things up.

Jumped on team dragon and ordered the 52mm and some fresh reds. Decided to treat myself as I've been skating some rough streets in my new area and I'm excited to see how they perform as an all around street wheel.

for whatever its worth, i ordered the ripstop ones from MLTD in hope of a nice lightweight summer pant. they have zero stretch and were kinda thick and cardboardlike as far as ripstop goes. they both got returned. would be curious to hear about the denim ones tho.

I was definitely unsure but after initial try-on, they seem great. Love the fit, super comfortable and loose. The elastic waist is a little weird but with a belt it’s fine. Wish the inseam was *slightly* longer but I’m pretty tall so that’s true for a lot of jeans.

Wore the shorts yesterday and loved them, will try to update later after skating in the jeans

Since the 5 pairs of emericas i've mentioned in the madness support thread I've gotten 4 pairs of state keys, one vista, dc manual rt s, globe surplus and motley II strap.

9 pairs of stance and stinky socks, a sour tee, two dime hoodies and a jet lag bros hoodie.

Bro, you went crazy :D I think you are equipped for the next decade. You'd better skate a lot or as the mentioned above, just open a skateshop :D
I have only used  the 3 for 2 sale from the junkyard (2 sour, 1 baker, 1 enjoi, 1 thunder lights and 1 indy forged hollow). Now the 4 for 2 is tempting me a lot for some other decks and may be ricta wheels, but i don't really need anything, coz i have stocked trucks and wheels that are probably gonna last me 5-6 years and decks for may be an year. I dunno if it is good idea to store decks for more than an year.

Yeah but they really don’t look much wider than my standard conicals. Of course I didn’t have them to compare so I’m probably wrong. Look for me in the “last purchase you regretted” thread

I got a pair of those Evos in the white/teal/yellow colorway and they're the most comfortable shoes I own. If they come out with another cool colorway I'll definitely get another pair, but I haven't been a huge fan of the ones that they've released so far. But I do like the ones you got.

Arrived yesterday. Shape looks great, a lot like my go to BBS 8.38/DLX 8.25 and good cause to support. Paint is beautiful unfortunately the bottom ply is a depressing looking grey but the top is a nice blue. Almost too nice to skate.

Created a new email account just to get 20% off on the the last pair of Accel Slim Plus Everstitch on the eS website. Longest lasting shoe I've had in years, close to 2 months and while the thread was worn I wasn't getting holes in the sole yet.

So I picked up one of those new SLAP jawns & a pair of NIB Netflix x Reebok collab Club Cs for a show I’ve never heard of, but fuggit… they some dece looking sneaks, & I already know they’ll be comfy as all get-out for skating in. Plus, at under $30 to my front door; I’d be an idiot not to pull the trigger. The damned shirt cost more than the shoes, for crying out loud!
Anyway… here’s them shits I bought.

Fuck yeah.

I was tripping at first. I couldn't get the shoe on my feet. Now I'm in I'm good.

Got the bushings tonight I'm going to frickin set those up in my v5.6 hollows. Give my swizz bones a good cleaning because it's long overdue and I do not want the race to rust at all. If it is I'm going to see if I can fit my my super red ceramic balls in there. Def after I apply some lotion to my super red fragile balls. Gd son. So red. So fragile.

Also I gotta take in these 501s. Put a heavy taper on them. I really really really feel like a sailor in some crazy baggy bell bottoms. Gotta fix that shit. I've lost more than 10lbs and looking like 2" from my waist.

FL x PC I busted out the other day for the grind/PV/HC show in the old town hall the other day but chose another old shirt.

Sucks I skated so much in this one. It looks new but my patch pants and other funky gear def transfer some of the funk from storage.

I gotta get rid of all that old shit and pick a few very few ts I can't replace easy to bag tag and store with my favorite old vests I made in the past.

Thank you. I feel mad good. I just tried the shoes. Out Frickin standing right out the box.

I like to skate loose floppy shoes but my skate preference is to tight lil new shoes. I can't wait till they're full broken in. I'm really really pleased rn. Just stopped in for a phone appointment then I'm heading to a spot. I'm not sure where. Maybe be Beverly park. They have a nice low ledge. Maybe this spot up by gallows hill

I got a set of Modus 7 bearings and a tube of ripcare (european shoe goo), also got a pair of last resort vm001 canvas lo on sale for my wife. The modus bearings happen to be cheaper in the UK (18 euros, and in germany the same model costs  30 euros). This may be due to custom fees and stuff, coz the bearings are Australian and UK may have lower taxes when importing from the land of OZ. I dunno but i ordered them from uk and a homie brought them to bulgaria.

that's some sweet gear and kitty.

There's a black cat that often hangs out in the window of the apartment I park in front of. He makes eye contact with me and slow blinks, wish I could pet him. Seeing him in the morning and getting home from work always improves my mood.

Pretty excited for my 1st flight deck. Been enjoying my ace 66s so I think I'll like the 55s. Maybe most curious about the wheels. Will the bearings be terrible knockoffs? Anybody skate "k9" wheels? It'll be an adventure.

They definitely sit slightly in but I don't mind a bit of magic carpet. Wide wheels and extra inside washers also help offset the difference

David Gravette Creature 8.35, 32 long, with a 14.5 wb, and an ugly tentacle monster graphic. Looks like an end boss from an arcade shoot em up.

Digging it going down from an 8.5. 149 indys still feel good on it. The tail feels super steep to me but in a good way compared to my mushy old consolidated board lol. Haven't had a new deck in a long while and for $110 CAD at the local shop, I remember why. It's not even like I'm that core of a skater I just can't buy a deck sight unseen online without really scoping out the shape. Would it be a safe bet to blindly buy any NHS or at least Creature deck from 8.35 to 8.5 in the future if I'm enjoying this shape?

Spoiling myself for my birthday and also trying to quit drinking so if I spend all my money on skate shit I can't drink booze!

Ordered a pair of 99d Formula Four Conical Full Spitfires in 56 mm and Swiss Six Bones bearings.

Then today I drove an hour out of town while the kids were at school today to pick up some Powell Dragon derps in 56mm and some Bones Big Balls from a nice core shop I'd never been to. They have a local legend from my town's board hanging up and pics of him on the wall. Was stoked to support them! Almost balances out the 2 pairs of Adidas I got for $150 CAD from the Zumiez buy one get one 50% off sale... Another splurge. I am broke as shit now haha. See yall in the regrets thread later.

I too love Slayer although I'd argue Show No Mercy is my favorite ablum- the Slayer Indy's and Mob grip is a knockout favorite of military/right wing bros that skate so I just couldn't do it.

That was part of the reason I held back for so long. I generally skate alone but for the times I end up at a park I'll probably feel a bit weird because I definitely don't want to come off like that.

Volcom had a sale when I needed some “nicer” shirts. Grabbed some modown relaxed fit jeans too. Spent around $125 for the entire haul (not counting the deck). 8.4 GT because I’m sizing up.

So the simple shoes seem like they’ll fall apart after one session? Also how’s the fit? Narrow?

They’re actually pretty wide, so far pretty comfortable out of the box. I’ve skated them just on flat for 2 short sessions and they feel ok, the sole is definitely thicker than my usual skate shoes and super grippy so that’s taking some time to adjust to. I’ve been posting in the simple shoes thread so will probably update after I have some heavier skating in them

The Gravette 8.3 is always the same...the other 8.3s out of creature/SC are not the same; same goes for the 8.5s as they have two in rotation.

Flight 8.75 venture hollows and tons of discounted stf 53s.  Also got the dragons 52s which you've all hashed out urselves by now and don't need to be swayed.  I'm happy they are selling so's that I can have more to buy in the future.  My attitude with bones is G man came up with the concept and reality of premium formula and if he did not you wouldn't have your F4s.  I have to support him based on that he fuckin bothered, ya know.  Also the "burn with the cool smoker dudes" has always insulted me slightly.   On a side note, does any one remember the wheel company that predated Spits?  B4 it was Spitfire it had another name and the ads/art definitely was undeniably cool tbf. They did half page ads in Kev thatcher Thrasher and had a logo which eventually morphed into the spinny thing Spit has. (not the dumb head tho).

Pre 1987 might be a tall order, but someone here could find it.  Not me, even though I was skating then, I had no idea and don't collect magazines or things from back then.

If you had time, I recall Thrasher was putting up all their old mags in an online archive, or at least saw them all online a while back, had a quick scroll through some but didn't really take much time with them.


The swirl is so much better than the big head too.

  Right on, I remember it having a 1930s or 40s SF vibe to the art.  It really struck me at the time.  (Edit yah not pre 87 I don't think)

Those 55 mm F4 classics have served me well for the past six or seven months.  Once they hit about 52 mm’s they’re the perfect shape - some sort of conical/radial hybrid.

Manderson I’d say is probably 8.4”. It feels smaller and little easier to flick than my Polar 8.5”.

I really dig af1s on the Manderson but all I ride these days is ace haha. The blunt kicks, squarish nose and tail, good concave are why I like the shape so much. I usually buy 1-2 each krooked drop.

I think you’d dig it if you like the Polar 8.5” and ace combo.

I had that shape as a Guy deck and it's the BBS generic 8.38 but on the mellower side of the press. April seems to have the mellowest generics, Sci-Fi the steepest.

Just put on conical 52s in 99a Duro on my board and 54mm clouds in 78a on my zinger and love both! You gonna have fun!
[close]

The 78a Clouds are mad fun and smooth. But I haven't been able to get a powerslide with them yet and I am not sure it is even possible. Maybe on wet ground?

Sorry for the late reply- been out with covid the last few days and didn't see the post/ forgot to reply even though i caught it on the mellower side!
yeah i heard pals talkin on here about cruiser wheels that powerslide and vaguely remember  ricta clouds come up but maybe in harder durometer since they got 86 and 92s too?

If ai can get back out this week ima have to try to powerslide some on them i guess but i don't get my hopes up too much- still great wheels!

I still have a bunch of those lol. My knees started hurting on my third VX board in a row after skating stairs and drops. I think it’s because I’d sometimes land on the tail/nose and it wouldn’t flex when taking the impact.  It could also be because I’m feeling the effects of skating for 25ish years. Since they have the carbon fiber layers they’ll probably stay in good shape for the foreseeable future and I can skate one every now and then. I also have 6 other non-VX boards to skate too. My madness involves buying multiples of things I like

I’ve been curious about the Lynx Zero since they dropped, but I feel like you get what you pay with shoes and saw the $65 price tag as a deterrent rather than a good value. The $75 model with super suede seemed like a better investment, but I also I ain’t paying full price for them. Long story short, just got these for under $30 shipped with a 30% off code from Retailmenot and free shipping by logging into my account.

Gonna cut off the dumb red shit and I think they’ll look pretty dope. If I like them I’ll consider picking up some of the Jahmir Brown ones from a shop next.

Got some of the first run Grey Day 1010, which are noticeably made from softer suede. Got 2 pairs of the Beef 1010 which feel similar. I had the black/white ones  prior which are a smoother matte suede and definitely felt stiffer. The new Grey Day ones were mega stuff, tongue was kinda wack, and the plastic eyelets seemed hard to pull laces through.

So ya, guess I mostly skate NB now.

I used to love mellow concave like Enjoi.  Now for some reason i'm feeling mid to deep concave for some reason.  I guess a persons type of skating changes over time.

They have some shapes that are the same as Baker shapes and shapes that are the same as FA shapes. The one that was the same shape as FA boards felt like FA in my opinion.

Also hopped on that DC sale...ordered a pair of the grey Lynx Zero shipped for $49 Cdn - never had a pair (or the originals for that matter) but it was really late so my judgement cloudy and my will faltered.

A new shop around an hour away is having a soft open this weekend - they list Freddy's Domestics line on their webpage so will take a fall drive to check them out and most likely buy a hat I really don't need..."for the culture".

I’ve never had an FA board, just wanted to try one and not spend nearly $80. The LBC deck is more square than my other ones though. And the wood seems good. Someone on here said it’s BBS in an old thread, and I know some of their decks say they’re from generator.

I normally wear/skate Vans, but seeing I’m now a dad, I decided to get some dad shoes. That said, I nabbed the grey-day Tiago 1010 from Civil for $90.

Dad vibes without total dad vibes. Can’t wait to BBQ and mow the lawn in these.

These look way more comfortable than vulcanized Vans. I use to walk miles in Adidas running shoes and my knees felt fine, but since I’ve started skating (only a few months ago) in Vans, my right knee has been killing me. Never again lol

Bought these cause I had a 15% discount at Tactics. 2 decks with grip for $72 ain’t bad. Done with decks for now. I’m nursing my knee and probably won’t start again until spring. Have 9 decks cause I stress bought most of them.

Gonna see if I can stretch them to early 2024 (only skate twice a week) lol

Never had a lenticular deck but it’s definitely heavier than traditional board.

Been buying parts to make a Christmas complete and I just got around to assembling it today. Shop deck from my local (8.375" & 14.375" WB. The shop says they come from Mexico, so I'm assuming Generator and it stacks perfectly with a 8.25" Real deck I have), Jessup grip, Indy titanium 149, Bones Swiss, 54mm V1 Dragons, and Shorty's Silverado phillips hardware (my madness hardware, and all 8 '+' gotta be lined up). First time on titaniums, and first time running 149s on a sub 8.5" deck.

I bought some Indy 149s which I'm liking, but the Bones Hard bushings I use for my Thunders don't feel that great in them and the pivot cup is squeaking and popping like crazy. I ordered Riptide pivot cups, Indy 94a barrel bushings, Indy 96a barrel bushings, and an Ace Hard bushing pack for low and standard trucks. Socal is having a 15% off sale so all of the bushings came out to a relatively low price which is nice. Not sure what I will like the best but I won $25 in my work's football pool so I was able to justify buying all of that for experimental purposes.

Why not keep the tock bushings?

I’m around 185lbs and like my trucks on the tighter side. The only way I can get stock bushings to my liking is cranking the nut really far which leads to the bushings cracking pretty quickly. Harder bushings allow me to ride comfortably without having to tighten the nut too far down so the bushings last a lot longer.

I see and agree that cranking the stock bushings will get them cut by the washer immediately. Been there done that.

Thanks. I assembled it this morning and have only taken it out for about an hour to break everything in, but I'm liking this combo. Crazy how a few eighths in board and truck dimensions, along with dropping a few grams of weight change the feel so much. The only thing I'm missing are some 92a Independent bushings (the blue ones) to switch out for the stock 90a orange ones. Someone above me was talking about the same thing and it reminded me. I like the blue bushings more than stock, they're just a tad bit firmer and I don't have to tighten the kingpin as much to get the same setting I like.

Gave away a barely used 9.25 couch and a long wb 9" popsicle at the park today, which makes me feel better about it.
But I still regret thinking I need to try out big/long boards for some reason. I gained absolutely nothing from it and wasted quite some time being worse at everything. No reason to go above 8.5 on transition for me, in decks and especially trucks.

Nora’s
Puig Indoors
Shin Sanbongi Campus ADV’s
Campus ADV’s

 The Nora’s felt a little too narrow up front and the Puigs felt a 1/4 size too snug in 10.5 so I sized up to an 11. They both fit fine now. Mixed with all the other shoes I already have I’m all set for the next couple of years……until I see something else that catches my eye

1/8” risers for my cruiser/manhole ollie setup. Oh and two sets of 94a Indy bushings. The stock bushings on my new 8.75 Ventures w/ no risers wheelbite super hard w 52mm Keyframes…which stops me like I hit a rock. I don’t want to crank them all the way down to tighten them up, for a few reasons. Hopefully the harder bushings help.

The Sanbongi ADV is a cool fucking shoe.

How does it fit?

Campus ADV’s seem to run tts. Adidas sizing can be a little off though from personal experience. If you have a local shop that stocks them then I’d start there


Since I have little impulse control I’m back with another pair. Had to size up half a size for them to feel right. The leather is really nice on these

Yeah so the “flea market” was put together by Andrew allen, Jerry hsu, and some other people. Mike Gigliotti (of lotties) had two nighthammers plus a bunch of old antihero decks that used to be hanging at the shop. Had to stop myself from grabbing an old Julien deck and the lance mountain drawing of BA deck. The prints are by Anthony Acosta and Nuge was there with a bunch of supreme gear. Pretty cool set up

Yes totally makes sense now.

And as said, I think almost anyone would have a hard time NOT spending way too much there.

I wonder how often something like that comes around - not that often I am guessing.

This FA deck is ugly, but it was only $30. It does have a similar shape as the LB Skate 8.6 decks though if anyone cares. The FA one is just steeper (possibly to step for me since I’ve been skating this Toy Machine that I really like).

Crupie? More like poopy. Everything else is good.

This FA deck is ugly, but it was only $30. It does have a similar shape as the LB Skate 8.6 decks though if anyone cares. The FA one is just steeper (possibly to step for me since I’ve been skating this Toy Machine that I really like).

I had that fa board in my cart for the sale but ended up going with 2 more quasi protos

I pulled the trigger on a Black Label 8.25 Deck.

The specs said 8.25 × 32.12 but it is more like 32 in length with a ~ 14.3 wb. Are all Label Decks like that? I am mad happy to give Lucero my money.

Always stoked on Black Label and just picked up a few more 8.5 x 32.3 with 14.5 wb "beer bottle" label graphic, on sale.

Standard BBS wood and shapes for the most part, the popsicles anyway, so I feel like I can't go wrong there, but these ones are pretty steep to start with.

I parked on this first one not once but twice just to mellow it out a bit more and it is just right for me now, still super crispy with a way more comfortable tail and not quite so steep nose.

This pic was really just for the boards, but it is pretty much what my usual setup was when I was skating a lot more bigger bowl and going fast on transition parks.

I was contemplating this as a fresh setup, Christmas complete kind of thing anyway.

Just picked up this complete for 25$ off of craigslist from an old russian guy that doesn’t skate. I really only needed some 8 inch trucks, and this was a steal. They are pretty much brand new USA made indy 139’s. Came with mini logo 53mm soft wheels and bearings. And a 8.25 blank deck.
Craigslist is such a good place to find the deals on skate gear.

Same, never a fan of Dunks, but these Huf ones are different. There's only 1 store in my area doing a raffle and the shoes got picked up my scalpers immediately, $250 on the resale market and I don't like them that much.

I loved skating Dunks from around 2006-2009 then lost interest in them for a long time. In the past few years there have been a few that I really liked, but I’m not entering a raffle or paying reseller prices out of principle. I was able to get these at a skateshop for retail. They won’t sit in the box or on display either

- FA: 2x 8.5 shape #2 & 2x Mob
- 3x KSL G6
- 4x Marana
- 1x AH beanie from a local shop

In fairness, I have recently dropped off 4 boards (old and new), 3 shoes (old and new), and some skate clothes to a local skatepark after seeing @ Tom(?) do similarly!

I have other shoes I'm trying to sell also to balance it back out

I've only skated pretty entry-level bearings my whole life, if anyone has skated Bones Swiss (non-ceramic), how much of a difference should I expect to really notice? I don't wanna get too hyped just to be let down.

I really want to get my hands on an 8.75 mistegister eagle. 14” WB on the 8.5” is just too short for me I think but 8.75 with 14.25 seems like a lot of fun

Technically didn't buy, but a loose-lipped relative let slip that I miiiiight be getting a set of Bones Swiss for Christmas.
I've only skated pretty entry-level bearings my whole life, if anyone has skated Bones Swiss (non-ceramic), how much of a difference should I expect to really notice? I don't wanna get too hyped just to be let down.
Depends on how neurotic you are, but you should feel an improvement. I've been on a set of Swiss since last year and I would say I "feel" like I don't need to push as much since the higher quality bearings will maintain their speed longer than a cheaper bearing. Could totally be placebo tho lol.

My example would be, say I'm going for a trick on a ledge and I have a desired approach target speed. I can throw down, get to that speed and maintain it longer before I go to pop. Whereas on cheaper bearings, I may have to throw in an extra push to get back to my desired speed on the way to the ledge.

Keep your shields on and try to clean your bearings regularly for longevity purposes

Thank you!
I never take the shields off, not even as a matter of preference, more of an "ain't nobody got time for that" kinda thing.

Ordered the GrimpleStix Lord Div board from my local shop- but was surprised when I went to collect it that the price was £89.99! Lady in shop felt sorry for me so she knocked £10 off, which was nice - but why are they so darn expensive?

This is the reason why I like swiss. People are saying reds are equally fast, might be but they don’t maintain speed as good as swiss. Also they last forever, I haven’t blow out single bearing in last 10 years…

Survived mostly in tact from Black Friday/Cyber Monday but spent more than I'd like... Stoked on what I got though!

- FA: 2x 8.5 shape #2 & 2x Mob
- 3x KSL G6
- 4x Marana
- 1x AH beanie from a local shop

In fairness, I have recently dropped off 4 boards (old and new), 3 shoes (old and new), and some skate clothes to a local skatepark after seeing @tom ? do similarly!

I have other shoes I'm trying to sell also to balance it back out

How are the Maranas working out for you? I see some guys swear by them.

My first pair of skate shoes coming back on the board is Nike Chron2 vulcs, just cause price point and vulcs being the more standard shoe nowadays. Back almost 22 years ago I hassled my mom for a pair of relatively puffy Osiris cups.
Put in an order for 2 pairs of Maranas on singles day, but had to go half size up on them. So still waiting for returns to come through.

Marana and Joslin need 0.5 up size for nearly everyone. That last runs a bit small but in the right size they feel solid!

They're my favorite shoes! Stiff at first and feel fairly snug but walking around and minimal cruising breaks them in quickly enough.  I have skated at least 10 pairs by now.

Super durable - minimum 2-3 months of solid skating. Soles are hard to wear out, flick is reliable, hidden lace loops (many don't realize they have them), and they are well padded without feeling claustrophobic. Board feel is great for a cupsole but not as much as many vulcs. Especially once they start to break in but they feel stable even with that slight loss of board feel.

Thunder Light II 148s, been through several G027 the last couple years and thunders just seem to suit it for me...quick pop without being too low. Usually ride spitfire F4 50-52mm, got some 50mm lil smokies in the cupboard for when my 52mm skate shop day F4s get too small, but usually ride wheels down to 46mm or so.

Thanks man! Now I’m looking even more forward to get them  :)

That was a real solid review. Do you get the OGs or the Michelins? Some say the difference in sole durability is a lot.

Michelins! The upper would outlast the OG sole pre-2017 (when Michelin solds released) when I first skated them. Loved them then but the Michelin only made them better. Firmer and more protective but not Lynx or D3 brick lack of board feel.

Ever since 2018 I've been running the Michelin ones and the sole competes with being as durable as the upper, which makes your money well spent if you end up enjoying them.

Happy to share !

Man, I couldn’t get into mine. Liked the way the felt in the shop but ended up not being able to skate more than 3 sessions in them and now they are just sitting. Also a dad haha. I switched to halfcabs and it’s the first pair I’ve skated in 24 years of skating and I’m really happy with them.

It would be a true boss move to buy four sets and turn them into just normal matching wheels haha

The imagery is nice but having Tyson Peterson and Kader's aura around a baby just sounds wrong haha. At least the smell will match when you need to change diapers.

It's a funny thing with the original urethane (not Formula Four) Spitfire wheels, especially in bigger sizes which have slimmed down a lot from back in the day when they used to be 57 x 36mm to 59 x 39mm wide, as those 63mm are now so skinny, especially the riding surface from new.

The 60mm Classics always were a wonder, eg as said, Classic = round, but they were not quite Conical Full but pretty close, but so well loved by so many people as a big old crust wheel.

Often surprising to see any, but I know they are still around and just down to the shop for ordering preference, as a lot of shops wouldn't touch them.

Good times ahead for you!!!

Skated the mids from 2013-2022, so i was afraid i would not find any shoe with that kind of protection. But gamma g6 and ksl plus the g6 insole is perfect. Stock insole made my knee hurt, but with the g6 insole no pain.

Yes slightly shorter and more stumpy I think was the description someone else said of their April 8.5 deck, or at least shorter wheelbase with big kicks, not quite Alien Workshop big, but more manageable for the person who didn't want the usual BBS 8.5 x 32.5 with 14.5 wb type of deck.

That looks about right from looking up a few specs from online shops but I haven't seen one in person so don't know how accurate or if they have changed or have more than one shape for the 8.5 width board in their range.

Looks to be on the long side 32.2, I heard more fuller nose as well, but wheelbase is 14.4 listed. My sweet spot is 14.38 -14.5. My next board is actually an 8.5 alien- longer deck shorter wheelbase 14.25. I’m on a frog 8.5/14.5 right now and it’s perfect. But i really loved that dlx 8.5 with long nose and tail and 14.38 wb but the nose and tail were pretty tapered.

It will be interesting to see how you like the Alien board.

One guy who usually rides the usual BBS 8.5s with Indy trucks put Ventures on his Alien deck and said it made it feel way better (more like the others in wheelbase), but that is just one instance.

All the other shapes you usually have are also on my usual list too, BBS 8.5 are very nice and round, compared to the bigger DLX 8.5 but as you said, tapering kicks is not exactly what some people enjoy.

I hadn't realised but Passport 8.5 are 14.38 wb - thought they were 14.5 as per spec info from almost every other site, but the one I got my hands on recently also skates well on Ventures.

My usual go to is Indy 149 on 14.5 wb on either 8.38 or 8.5 but I have some on 14.38 wb boards too.


***

Edit:

Just got another couple of Passport 8.5 boards and they are 14.5 wb so not sure what is going on with the other one, but it is definitely 14.38 as I checked again.

It is an older one so I wonder if they changed them up at some point.

Gotta try ‘em all! Stoked to try the alien and see if I can tell a big difference going to a smaller wheel base

Indy 159 hollow standards here, and I try and not look at any other truck threads. The bushing madness in the Indy thread is enough for me.

One guy who usually rides the usual BBS 8.5s with Indy trucks put Ventures on his Alien deck and said it made it feel way better (more like the others in wheelbase), but that is just one instance.

All the other shapes you usually have are also on my usual list too, BBS 8.5 are very nice and round, compared to the bigger DLX 8.5 but as you said, tapering kicks is not exactly what some people enjoy.

I hadn't realised but Passport 8.5 are 14.38 wb - thought they were 14.5 as per spec info from almost every other site, but the one I got my hands on recently also skates well on Ventures.

My usual go to is Indy 149 on 14.5 wb on either 8.38 or 8.5 but I have some on 14.38 wb boards too.

Gotta try ‘em all! Stoked to try the alien and see if I can tell a big difference going to a smaller wheel base

Indy 159 hollow standards here, and I try and not look at any other truck threads. The bushing madness in the Indy thread is enough for me.

I'm currently on an 8.25 Alien, and I gotta say it is my favorite board I have had in a long while.  Riding it with 5.6 Venture cast hollows, and that combo seems to just click for me.  I also have a 8.5 Hockey shape 2 (same wheelbase, 14.25) currently set up with 5.8 Venture cast hollows, and it doesn't feel nearly as good.

April 8.5, I have been wanting to scratch that itch for a while. Got that green logo board. They have their own shapes right?
[close]

Yes slightly shorter and more stumpy I think was the description someone else said of their April 8.5 deck, or at least shorter wheelbase with big kicks, not quite Alien Workshop big, but more manageable for the person who didn't want the usual BBS 8.5 x 32.5 with 14.5 wb type of deck.

That looks about right from looking up a few specs from online shops but I haven't seen one in person so don't know how accurate or if they have changed or have more than one shape for the 8.5 width board in their range.
[close]

Looks to be on the long side 32.2, I heard more fuller nose as well, but wheelbase is 14.4 listed. My sweet spot is 14.38 -14.5. My next board is actually an 8.5 alien- longer deck shorter wheelbase 14.25. I’m on a frog 8.5/14.5 right now and it’s perfect. But i really loved that dlx 8.5 with long nose and tail and 14.38 wb but the nose and tail were pretty tapered.

I'm currently on the 8.5 Alien, dims looked great on paper (long length, short WB), but something about the shape took a while to adapt to after riding a Clutch with a tapered tail. I usually adapt to a new shape by the 2nd session but this one took 5 sessions before kickflips started to feel right, maybe it was the wider tail.

Nice!

Other dimensions as listed or no measurements taken?

Not a worry either way.

Listed as 8.5 x 32.2 with 14.4 wb and 7 nose with 6.6 tail which seems to add up about right for a board just over 32 long.

The width and the wheelbase match, the length seems maybe it is not measured straight across but along the deck surface. I get more like exact 32 when I measure straight across.

April 8.5, I have been wanting to scratch that itch for a while. Got that green logo board. They have their own shapes right?
[close]

Yes slightly shorter and more stumpy I think was the description someone else said of their April 8.5 deck, or at least shorter wheelbase with big kicks, not quite Alien Workshop big, but more manageable for the person who didn't want the usual BBS 8.5 x 32.5 with 14.5 wb type of deck.

That looks about right from looking up a few specs from online shops but I haven't seen one in person so don't know how accurate or if they have changed or have more than one shape for the 8.5 width board in their range.

Looks to be on the long side 32.2, I heard more fuller nose as well, but wheelbase is 14.4 listed. My sweet spot is 14.38 -14.5. My next board is actually an 8.5 alien- longer deck shorter wheelbase 14.25. I’m on a frog 8.5/14.5 right now and it’s perfect. But i really loved that dlx 8.5 with long nose and tail and 14.38 wb but the nose and tail were pretty tapered.

It will be interesting to see how you like the Alien board.

One guy who usually rides the usual BBS 8.5s with Indy trucks put Ventures on his Alien deck and said it made it feel way better (more like the others in wheelbase), but that is just one instance.

All the other shapes you usually have are also on my usual list too, BBS 8.5 are very nice and round, compared to the bigger DLX 8.5 but as you said, tapering kicks is not exactly what some people enjoy.

I hadn't realised but Passport 8.5 are 14.38 wb - thought they were 14.5 as per spec info from almost every other site, but the one I got my hands on recently also skates well on Ventures.

My usual go to is Indy 149 on 14.5 wb on either 8.38 or 8.5 but I have some on 14.38 wb boards too.

Gotta try ‘em all! Stoked to try the alien and see if I can tell a big difference going to a smaller wheel base

Indy 159 hollow standards here, and I try and not look at any other truck threads. The bushing madness in the Indy thread is enough for me.

I'm currently on an 8.25 Alien, and I gotta say it is my favorite board I have had in a long while.  Riding it with 5.6 Venture cast hollows, and that combo seems to just click for me.  I also have a 8.5 Hockey shape 2 (same wheelbase, 14.25) currently set up with 5.8 Venture cast hollows, and it doesn't feel nearly as good.

I'm currently on the 8.5 Alien, dims looked great on paper (long length, short WB), but something about the shape took a while to adapt to after riding a Clutch with a tapered tail. I usually adapt to a new shape by the 2nd session but this one took 5 sessions before kickflips started to feel right, maybe it was the wider tail.

April 8.5, I have been wanting to scratch that itch for a while. Got that green logo board. They have their own shapes right?
[close]

Yes slightly shorter and more stumpy I think was the description someone else said of their April 8.5 deck, or at least shorter wheelbase with big kicks, not quite Alien Workshop big, but more manageable for the person who didn't want the usual BBS 8.5 x 32.5 with 14.5 wb type of deck.

That looks about right from looking up a few specs from online shops but I haven't seen one in person so don't know how accurate or if they have changed or have more than one shape for the 8.5 width board in their range.

It reminds me of a couple of DGK decks I got on sale recently.

Those things definitely have to either have a full graphic spray over or removal before I even think about setting one up.

The right wood (BBS) size, shape, dimensions and everything, all with a good price, but yeah wow, totally would never ride that sort of graphic, even on my own with no one around.

Ha yeah, took one of the whole order when I got it, but it doesn't show the detail.

This was the listing, with a close up - cash, bottles of fire, little things when I looked closely at the deck that you can't really see from the overall pic.  Just funny though.  Thuggin life is not my thing.

Nice find! I went to a Burlington yesterday and another one today. No skate shoes at either but got the wife some all black Nike Prestos. Ended up swinging by Ross tonight and got some Nike SB Alleyoops. Tried them on and they felt too good to leave on the shelf so I bought them for $40. White and cream with a black swoosh. Gonna wear them a couple times before I skate them.

I'm a big fan of these discount shops for skate shoes. Prior to Covid, I worked across the street from a Nordstrom Rack and I would dip in there once a week or so and often I'd have to stop myself from buying still more skateboard shoes for like $35.

Always rad to see these.

The reject ones though, is that Andy Roy frontside boned air, Robbie Russo in the neck brace and who is the drunk / party guy?

Was that also Kanfoush tail block at Portrero?  That one is so good!


Top left to right - GT, ??, Raney, JC
Middle - Andy Roy, Robbie, Kanfoush, Robbie (first board)
Bottom - Pfanner, BA


The only board from that whole series I kept was the "Thrasher / Phelps" silver bowl barney 8.4 shape, not so much as a keeper, just wasn't into the shape after I had a couple of others.

I wonder if anyone is keen on it nowdays?

the boned air is supposed to be Andy Roy, and the rejected top row one is Jake Phelps. I think Lance restocks these every now and again. I missed out a couple years ago when he had multiple series on his website. I cut out the back of a ripped Julien Stranger shirt and hung it up on the walls of multiple apartments on both sides of the country

NB 306 slip ons. I usually don’t do all black shoes. But the camo and the same at 303 was too good to pass up. Plus I’m enjoying the Nike Brsb as chillers and my 272s I skate about dead. I’ll be hitting sock in a session or 2

Checkerboard vans skate authentic, so stoked for those. They're canvas but I love the way my canvas chuck 70s skate with a lil shoe goo. Thinking I might even goo in an extra duracap or suede layer on the inside of the shoe.

A small haul of stuff I got recently that I'm super stoked on. The 1010s were a birthday gift from my partner, the Sci Fi hat was $14 shipped from the Mr. Porter sale, and the enjoi deck was $25 shipped from Thank You Supply. I paid full price for the pink Punkandyo hat and I liked it so much that I copped the black one when they were giving out $20 off coupons on instagram lol

Just got this ride on slappy flatbar from Just Rails...he doesnt have a website but takes orders through instagram. His prices are wayyyyy cheaper than blunt steel if you have ever been interested in buying one of those. He also does regular sized flatbars as well. He makes them to order so you pick your color you want too. Definitely worth hitting up if you have been wanting a rail for a fair price.

Ive actually never skated one lol. But i feel like different ride on grind variations would be pretty fun to mess around with out front of the house. I skate curbs all the time and am not expecting this to be anything like a curb but more for some quick fun out front with the kids. Its definitely not for everyone...especially young dudes who still have pop haha

I've got Fusions and they're indistinguishable from my Atoms. The Quantum guys said the difference should contribute to longevity and given how good my Atoms have been they'll probably last until I can't skate anymore. Fast and I never have to do shit to them.

I've got a blunt steel rail I've been skating in my basement for the last several months. I use it as a way to learn new tricks and just do fun stuff on. It gets you comfortable with cross locking and I learned crooks and feebles on it. Its 4" off the ground, so you can really do any trick with very low risk of hurting yourself. Removing that fear factor makes it much easier to learn things I think.

Once I get more confident, I just throw it on a pair of cement blocks and I have myself a regular rail to skate. You can also use it like a pole jam, do up/down grinds off of things, throw it on a curb, etc.

They do take some time, but absolute speed is not the reason to choose the Fusions over another bearing it's the durability of the coating. They should outlast several pairs of Bones Six

Thanks, all of you!  From the heart.

Re: the Fusions, they do have a small break in period.  And the hard coating is something that’s never been applied to bearings (like all the other tech we’re using), so the sound is something that you’re going to notice.  Mine sound like a small jet engine coming in for a landing.

Nice! I went with green also. The picture in this thread is the one he did for me. He sent me that picture of it right after he finished it up. I thought green would just look cool. Ill definately share how it skates later this weekend and hopefully get a couple decent clips on it as well

Just got this ride on slappy flatbar from Just Rails...he doesnt have a website but takes orders through instagram. His prices are wayyyyy cheaper than blunt steel if you have ever been interested in buying one of those. He also does regular sized flatbars as well. He makes them to order so you pick your color you want too. Definitely worth hitting up if you have been wanting a rail for a fair price.

sincere question man, what do you even do with this thing. ive seen them at parks, but they're nothing compared to a curb imo & feel nothing like a flatbar
[close]

I've got a blunt steel rail I've been skating in my basement for the last several months. I use it as a way to learn new tricks and just do fun stuff on. It gets you comfortable with cross locking and I learned crooks and feebles on it. Its 4" off the ground, so you can really do any trick with very low risk of hurting yourself. Removing that fear factor makes it much easier to learn things I think.

Once I get more confident, I just throw it on a pair of cement blocks and I have myself a regular rail to skate. You can also use it like a pole jam, do up/down grinds off of things, throw it on a curb, etc.

Seriously considering a rail like this for all the reasons mentioned above.

I gave up fighting the temptation and just bought one from Just Rails for the same reason. Said it’ll be in the mail on Friday and I’m stoked.

Hell ya! Mine shows up tomorrow but we have some shitty weather so probably wont get skated till the wknd. The jult rails dude is awesome and easy to order from. What color did you do for yours?

I went with green. No real reason behind it, just thought it would look cool. What color do you go with? Bummer about the weather in your area. I’m fortunate to live in AZ where we have mostly sunny days regardless of time of year.

I’ll come back to this thread once it comes and I get a chance to skate it and give a mini review.

Just curious, how much did you guys pay for a little rail like that if you don't mind me asking? It's constantly snowing up where Im at and looking for something easy to lug around at the plowed parking lots around here lol

This guy (just rails) charges 150 for them. That company blunt steel who are known for these type of rails charge about 270 for the same exact thing. I havent seen anybody ese really making them that i know of.

I had a very similar experience. Way stiffer than the Bones hard which I believe are 96a. I’m doing stock Thunder bottom with the 94a bushing in the top and that’s been nice. Using the 94a on the top and bottom was a no go.

Bushings are urethane so have two things that usually go on.

As they age, they firm up a little, as per all urethane, so from the first day of use, gentle break in period to pretty much about usual after a week or so, they will feel a bit firmer or at least bounce back, rather than stay in the same position you landed.

If they are under pressure they will compress some as well, so as the bushings are squashed, they will make the trucks feel a little more loose to some degree.


A friend recently got those exact ice blue 94 duro bushings and at first they were quite stiff and non responsive, but now after maybe a month or so, they are more responsive but don't feel quite as difficult to turn with but he did tighten down the kingpin nut about half a turn at the last session on them.


They are way stiffer than the stock bushings that came in the trucks though, even though with the same wear in period, they felt good to me, he wanted them a bit stiffer, so these work well.

I was joking about it in the sale gear thread but I actually just bought 6 pairs from the junkyard sale(50% off + 3 for 2). Goddamn. I'm always thinking I should probably settle for some shoes I know that work for me, but I never buy the same shoe. Never had problems getting used to a new shoe though.

This time I'm trying:
Etnies josl1n
Emerica dickson
Vans rowan
Vans lizzie
Half cabs (Had some a few years ago)
Last resort vm003

Thank god there wasn't a truck/wheel sale. At least I'm actually gonna use all these shoes

Finally got to skate it today after all the ice melted outside. This thing is very fun. If you aren't used to round flat bars like me, it could be weird at first but starts to feel comfortable thee more you grind it. I can tell its going to be fun trying alot of new tricks on it. The quality of this thing is awesome. I say get one if you are even thinking about it. Well worth the 150 bucks

I wish it was a brand I was excited by, but I've averaged about $25/board for 'em, so I'll keep buying. A lot of terrible graphics, but some acceptable ones if ya look.

No the set I have are Stage 11, USA under the baseplate with orange (low top) stock bushing, so not sure at what point they stopped making them, Stage 11 low trucks from 2012 to maybe 2015 or so.

There is a brand new set of Stage 10 129 Indy low with the red bushings on ebay.com.au right now that didn't sell in the first listing.

I was almost tempted just to have another set, but I don't need them and will never use them.

Found these carcasses at the goodwill for just shy of 3$/€.
Let’s find out if something can be made from them.

Finally came across a shop in Aus who have some of these in stock so snapped some up. I’ve been running bones bushings lately but have been blowing those out extremely quickly within like 5 skates. Hoping these last me awhile like the stock purple ones did

I found a Samaria enjoi deck for 38$ So I figured I get one for the collection. 5 out of the 7 plies are dyed and it just looks beautiful. The shape is also perfect. Hopefully, there's an enjoi purge and I can find another one to ride.

Uprise is the shit. I just stuck a red sticker of theirs on my Hockey board.

I damaged one of my Bones Swiss when taking out the bearings from a Conical Full wheel, with the Bones bearing tool, where it was really wedged in there. It bummed me out to the point where I convinced myself that I need this:

Sick purchase. Anybody got a skateshop setup at home? Post a pic. With all the gear people hoard a display case and board wall doesn’t seem too far fetched and would make a cool hangout spot at home.

DGK 7.9 Fagundes
spitfire f4 52 classic full
indy conical medium hard bushings
Miles grip
I was more than pleasantly surprised coz i thought the deck would be china made, but it happen to be mexico. I also thought the wheels are gonna be classic but they are classic full which is way better, coz it is small diameter, but a wider contact patch - just perfect for my spots and the thunder 147 and finally i read on the message board that the indy conical bottoms are 1mm bigger than the cylinders and so it is - they fit quite well the thunders. Everything was on sale so these are the best spent 90 euros.

Oh yeah. I bought this too.  I also picked up some Stage 4s.

I also picked up a Knox deck.
I was originally going to hang it but now I want to skate it.
Thinking about some Stage 4 151’s for it.
I don’t need them but I need them y’know?

Metal Gall Egg 9.0
Feelin the brown and teal stains.
And some Spa Gear.
Would tag ‘em but I don’t think I can and I forgot which one of the SLAP folk is behind Spa Gear.
I appreciate the smaller sized heads on the bolts.
Also what’s the character on the sticker?

Nice haul! And thanks for picking up a set of hardware! The sticker character is Sans from the indie RPG "Undertale." That particular image is a meme with him holding a hot dog. I can't tell you the reasoning behind it but I had the urge to replace it with a bolt and make a sticker of it and here we all are. Anyways, I'm discontinuing the sticker and just going with a logo sticker for the next batch so you have a nice piece of spa gear lore!

Im keeping that in mind and am open to more stickers like that. I just didn't want the main image associated with the hardware to be a rip off. Once I have some more original softgoods and graphics out there, I will for sure brings stuff like this sticker back!

I’m hoping the SKFs are decent. If they suck, I’m just going to shell out on Swiss Ceramics and be done with it.

I can't personally attest to the quality of SKF bearings as I've never skated them. But no other bearings I've had over almost 2 decades of skating have ever lasted as long as Swiss, period. That's why it's smarter to pay more up front and spend less in the future. Their definitely an investment.

I would also suggest to opt for the Swiss 6 over any other option. From someone who's skated the standards, labyrinth/labyrinth 2's and ceramics. The Swiss 6, for me, have been the best performing of the lot. They're also the easiest to fully dismantle and assemble for cleaning due to the larger balls.

However, curious to hear your feedback on those SKF's regardless, best of luck.

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=108701.0

Answer can be found somewhere in this thread…..

My impression is they are vanity sizes ie a 36 would work……ninetimes is always pretty helpful too if you just ask…

You should lay some of your own pants down and measure across the waist, because odds are their 36 is probably closer to a 38.

I bought the extended wear laces that I saw Christian Flores talk about on YouTube. Recently, I've just been tearing through laces before I even make a hole in my shoe. So I got the laces. I've heard good reviews about them so I'll probably buy another pair.

With all the truck madness I realized I've never tried cast Ventures; my previous experience with shorter WB boards saw me feeling good on sub 7" noses and longer tail boards 6.8" (primitive and girl, tho I didn't ride either of them with Ventures).

So far the Ventures felt great on a 14.125" WB (7" nose/6.6" Tail, 2 fingers of flat and mellow)  so I can't imagine them feeling any worse on that Girl board as it just shifts the length from front to back.

I like these trucks, that deck was interesting. Has an oddly long tail since they took another shape and pushed the trucks in a bit but mostly at the tail. I liked it best with Thunders for some reason but it was always a bit too short and squirrely for me. Somehow Jordan Trahan rides Aces on it. I did have really good front tails on it no clue why.

The deck has a lot of "fingers of flat" then a decently steep rise. It feels longer than the dims suggest. I really wish they made it in 14.25 I'd be all over it.

Gorgeous day out and I was in the neighborhood so I stopped in to see the Radio guys for the first time in waaaaayyyyy too long. Got to catch up with one of the owners a little bit but it was actually packed and everyone was buying stuff so that was really cool to see. I cherish this shop and hope they flourish because it's such a cool little spot that does all the little things right. I've been dragging my feet on buying both of these because I don't want another full blown madness outbreak but it seemed like the stars aligned so I pulled the trigger.

I had that shape on ace 44 classics and 56 conical fulls, and loved the way it skated. Looked fucking gross tho. This is some 3+ years ago. But the big wheels and ace trucks led to some great, for me, pop.

Nice find didn’t know that wheelbase jig existed.  The increments are 1/4” and 3/8”.  So if I wanted to shorten the wheelbase by 1/4” my only option would be to redrill one side and leave the other side untouched, but then the truck holes would be off center on the board?

I think it’s like, use this hole to change a 1/4” by drilling both sides?

Holes look awfully close together to be 1/4” apart fully

I often wonder about redrilling boards you only want a little in, rather than drilling in both ends (not sides) but I think usually drilling in the nose is a little easier and will not change the feel of the board as much as drilling in the tail.

On the other hand, if a board is too steep, with the tail a little on the short side, drilling in the tail can make a board feel way more mellow / easy to pop on the tail end as well as making it a little more twin like in length of kicks too.  This works really well on Venture trucks too, which make them work better for Koston and others who have the baseplates redrilled instead.


The 1/4" is close together but on boards I have done at that increment, they still hold up fine and don't break through at all, especially if you drill the wheelbase in as the old holes are under the baseplate in the "flex" area, where boards break over the trucks.

They’re sitting sideways in the picture. In practice you would rotate it before using. The wheelbase increments can be adjusted to drill out holes downwards in line with the existing 4 bolt pattern of the board

I was thinking that they’re too close for a quarter inch adjustment as well, but I will most likely use the half inch holes to shorten up the 14.4” WB boards I have. It’s ideal if you like a shorter WB

I was checking those Carrol pants out. What’s with the knees? They look like cargo pockets, but I know they’re not.

I like the color, and the tie strings in the leg openings.

Also, what’s the fit like in comparison to the Polar 44’s? Assuming that was the other pair of pants you got.

I have the Carrol Huf x FS pants, love the fit too although a bit long for my legs. They're double knee pants so they have a little extra material that gives it that fold crease look.

I got the 5.8 teds and love them. Really hope ventures keeps the cast hollows in their line up.






Also I just bought some black/white Nike Brsb Cortez looking shoes for chillers. I started skating the forest gump ones and I miss them as chillers. Real comfy little tight in toe at first but wearing other shoes  feel rough now even as chillers

The V cut Ag formula are some of my favorite wheels that I’ve ridden consistently. Definitely not as slick as F4s or something harder. But it’s a great formula nonetheless.

Got some same SML Grocery Bag wheels. They’re pretty chunky little wheels for being 53mm. AG Formula v-cut. They’re a bit grippy but maybe once the tread wears away that will change.  I like them so far though, more than I thought I would, and I had low(ish) expectations. Plus, they were cheap.

Loaded up so the 53mm OG Wide shapes from The House liquidation sale, really good mid tier wheel, right below the big 3 brands.

Bought another WKND 8.875VB shaped deck. It’s a football like shape that I have some success on.  I’ve looked everywhere for them but found it randomly at some Midwest snowboard shop / shipped for 54$ pretty stoked.  I need to find a couple more.

Got these Blazers for my bday.  Strayed from the flock of skating Blazers for like two years and I must say, they’re honestly the best skate shoe.  Got a chance to put them to use yesterday for a bit.  Could be a summer of Blazers ahead for me.

I am a size 9, which is the typical "Salesman Sample" size of shoe. One time I was at a thrift store and I came across three pairs of Vans, a pair of Adidas and a pair of Huf - all sales samples, I presume forfeited by a shop owner. All were effectively new and I think each pair was $15. I felt like I was stealing something when I went through checkout.

They're a little tight on me at first cause I got wide feet but I agree they might be the best shoe.

Ankle padding, the toe foxing is low so they flick like cupsoles, and I put the superfeet flex max footbeds in mine.

I was getting truck madness thinking I might want to switch Aces to Ventures or Thunders or something. Couple of times almost pulled the trigger on some but eventually decided I don't want stuff lying around that I'm not using, so maybe when I actually need to replace something in the future.

So I ordered two pairs of riptide pivot cups instead... only cost the price of 1 truck.

Did vans only for years, would usually last 1-2 decks before being blown out. Got a pair of blazers cause they were the cheapest at the local and can’t go back. Easily my favorite shoe. I also loved the heritage vulc and the women’s Bruin

Ace 44 Classics on Polar P2 or some other 8.35-8.5. I like the turn obviously, but was beginning to think maybe some other truck with less turn, or maybe less weight, could make me magically better at flip tricks.

*edit. also sometimes have a hard time popping my board and don't know if that is down to the trucks or just my tired old man legs...

I switched from indy's to aces; lowering the pop angle was one of the reasons. I'm 34. I saw that spanly switched shortly after that and it kinda reaffirmed my decision. If I were 18-25 yrs old I'd prolly skate ventures for the stability at speed. It's funny about pop angle tho cause tyshawn skates thunders and has mad snap 🤷‍♀️

 I had a lot of flip tricks when I skated thunders but I also had a lot of wheelbite, exploded bushings, broken pivot stems, and sticking on rails/having to wax the shit out of ledges

To be fair I've broken Indy hangers in half and venture baseplates but that was a hot minute ago. On AF1's now and all I can tell is that even when brand new with brand new wheels, they don't sit flat/axle seems slightly "bent" but it really don't bother me at all

Been on the Ventures for a few days and feeling them so want to pair them with a 14" WB just to see what that brings about...

I like these trucks, that deck was interesting. Has an oddly long tail since they took another shape and pushed the trucks in a bit but mostly at the tail. I liked it best with Thunders for some reason but it was always a bit too short and squirrely for me. Somehow Jordan Trahan rides Aces on it. I did have really good front tails on it no clue why.

The deck has a lot of "fingers of flat" then a decently steep rise. It feels longer than the dims suggest. I really wish they made it in 14.25 I'd be all over it.

I ended up absolutely hating that abomination of a tail… it was slightly too steep and definitely too long compared to what I’m usually skating. so much so I would need to look at my rear foot to make sure that I was actually near the end of the tail, and it never was… it was always half an inch in and when I pushed my foot to the end of the tail, everything just felt completely off because of the steepish kick (I was clearly moving my foot forward for more mellow feel); also, looking down on it the thing is just fucking gross looking.

The front half of the board was great!

After the stiff turn venture dip I hopped back to thunder gang (running stock blue bottoms and a 95 low NFG top right now...figure I should just run 94 all around as the low top is giving me wheel bite as does the stock 90 top)..my flip game has been on point since /shrug - just trying to fix wheetbite without cranking the shit out of stock..might try 97s if these don't work out.

Sci-fi 8.25 that's orange and I thought was red. The black print is raised with a basketball like texture. Standard BBS shape, identical to the last birdhouse Tony hawk deck I had.

Tiagos on the Atlas sale came out to $77, stoked on that buy.

Oh and that Sci-Fi above is not the standard BBS shape it is the Anti Hero 8.125 eagle shape. It's actually 8.25 across with a wb between 14.25 and 14.38 and long, pointy kicks sorta like a steeper Baker.

Ya dude it's like almost a great shape, just need to move the rear truck back towards the tail a bit and mellow the kicks slightly. I like the overall shape and the concave.

Was really hyped on the Pac-Man x OJs but wanted a more functional wheel, so I found these 98a 54mm LED wheels off Amazon and put them on the cruiser.

No practical purpose I just think they’re neat. Gonna try them out later today.

the new secondary whip

quasi 9 inch, dims are overall very similar to a loveseat
indy stage 4 151s
formula x 95a 52mm
pepper grip(first time using this, gripping the board was easy and hasslefree)
mini logo bearings for the start since i don't know yet about those wheels

while the main setup(not pictured) remains a hockey stain on 149ers with f4 99a 54mm and random bearings.

this one is meant to be easy on worn out feet, take me to work from time to time, and to explore a few nooks and crannies in my neighborhood that need a tad more forgiving wheels. i had the wheels first as a gift (thank you, kindest soul, you know who you are if you read this ;) ), then impulsively ordered the trucks without having a matching board. had to get this quasi as long as it was available. mostly excited about the trucks and wheels. hope the weather will be nice tomorrow so i can at least push to work with it.

Bought the Una debut deck in the 8.28 shape from Nocturnal. Hyped to get back on a Krooked/ DLX board after being strictly on Jamal Smith’s boards last 1.5years. Really fell in love with the 8.25 x 14 wb w/ Venture lights and this board is just slightly bigger with the 14.1 wb

Now I am actively trying to stop myself from buying some 808s 😂

Told myself I wouldn't ever buy a shaped deck again...BUT.
Somebody posted a screenshot of curren caples showing his setup, and I realized I have all the parts except the deck. And then titus had the deck 50% off. So I guess I'm gonna copy curren caples now and probably hate the setup. 9" and super short wheelbase, gonna be my transition setup I guess. Second time copying a pro setup after unknowingly riding ishods setup for a while, which is still my go to.

So I guess I'm gonna copy curren caples now and probably hate the setup. 9" and super short wheelbase, gonna be my transition setup I guess. Second time copying a pro setup after unknowingly riding ishods setup for a while, which is still my go to.

If that’s the shape he actually rides I’m surprised he rides such a short wheelbase.  I wonder if it’s because he got good at skating at such a young age riding small boards?

Hands down my favorite shape these days.
Real 8.28 and some 54mm Radials

If you don't mind me asking..
What is the length of the tail and nose on these 8.28 decks? 31.7 sounds a bit short, but I don't know.

Don’t do it. My understanding is you get what you pay for and they are very inconsistent. You might get a decent looking and lasting pair or a complete shit pair that looks awful explodes in a few sessions. There’s more dunks available in general these days. Non SB dunk highs are easy to find in good colors. Swap some oval laces in there and a zoom air insole and you got a SB dunk without having to resort to fakes.

If you’re buying reps to skate, I can’t imagine they would skate well. Materials are going to be garbage. Formula’s they use for the soles can’t be similar at all. No way they last very long.

I don’t have experience in skating reps, just my input. I think you get what you pay for.

^fakes don’t hurt corporations, just the consumer. You think you’re getting the same thing but it’s really not. There’s plenty of shoes to choose from that aren’t dunks. Especially if you don’t mind skating non skate shoes which dunks originally were/are.

Yeah I was pretty happy with what I got for the price. Never tried slimeball or 97a wheels but I'm sure they'll be good for a cruiser/ rough spot setup. I'm lucky to have such a good shop in my area. He does the mystery box for special events/ sales.

i've skated fake sb dunks around 2010 - i was visiting china and found a place that had very very good fakes, felt and skated identical to real ones (which i had also skated)

earlier this year i found a place in mexico city that had fake dunks that were indistinguishable to me, they didn't have my size so i got a pair for my friend, he's been loving them

that being said, i wouldn't get a pair unless i could feel them in person

I've ridden a few fake dunks, Basically, they're a toss-up. In rather your getting quality or not. You can go on Reddit and find seller recommendations, but it looks like the quality sellers will cost like 80$ or 90$ it's still not 100% guaranteed that you will get a quality rep. The rep sellers don't really have the incentive to provide a quality product. They have to do the bare minimum which is to ship a shoe. If for whatever reason, they get shut down, they'll just create a new account to sell from.

For the cost and trouble you're better off just buying something else. The last time I bought reps. I got 2 pairs from the same seller. 1 passable, 1 near perfect. The passable pair ran too big. The perfect pair ran too small. It's shit like that, that really isn't worth the risk IMO.

thanks man, youre the only person who replied to me who actually had experience with buying & skating reps

the sizing and quality variance is def something youve brought to my attention

rn, im only looking for a basic colorway (like a panda or syracuse), not a specific model/rare drop, so im banking on that to hopefully reduce the quality control issues because it seems like every vendor has those models, so hopefully theyve got it dialed down bc theyre in constant demand

i wasnt willing to spend $120 some dollars on a single pair, but i think what i'll do is buy 4 pairs from 4 different vendors (each $30 a pop so 4 pairs for $120 which way better than just getting 1 pair of shoes) and then try to get a whatsaspp number from the best shoe's vendor in case they get taken down

I've bought a few pairs of Jordan 1s to skate off DHGate. I always look for sellers with plenty of reviews and pictures and gravitate towards them. If you do that, they're pretty responsive and products come in under two weeks.

There's pluses and minuses with my experiences.

On the plus side, they look pretty realistic/can fool most people unless you look close. They run tts so no issues there. And they skate pretty well/like the real thing shape wise.

On the negative side, the materials are subpar. The "suede" on the toecap looks the part but will start ripping after a session or two. They do not have legit padding. The sole feels hollow. Similar to a shoe you get at wal-mart. And (though I don't care) there are some design discrepancies if you really look (like Jordan having a pincer hand).

That said, it seems like you're similar to me. I'm not paying $120+ for shoes i'm going to destroy. As a result, these are a fun alternative. They just might not last that long.

The good news is literally everything but the loopholes was a deep discount, so I spent less ~$300. Promo codes and Memorial Day ftw.

Im on a pair of 56 loopholes that got 2 years ago and have for 6 or so months been skating mostly a park and parking lot/curbs with and while the eurathane feels awesome, couple wheels have gotten chunked out on the skating surface. One looks like someone took a hook to it and scraped a squiggle of material out. Still completely skateable but a bummer that they are falling apart so fast.

I’ve worn size 11 Vans for years but lately my right foot has been feeling really cramped in all of my shoes. I went to Cowtown on my lunch break because they’re having a huge sale and ended up with a pair of size 12 Skate Slip ons. Not sure how my foot possibly grew an entire size when I’m in my mid 20s but whatever at least I know now and am getting some relief. Also impulse purchased some Ace Classics 44s because it was $30 for the set. I’ll probably post about them in the buyers remorse thread in the next few days.

Shoes getting smaller or feet getting bigger???

I know I had to eventually stop kidding myself and go to size 12 from being in and having so many size 11 Vans for so long, although I did have quite a few cup sole Vans from back in the 00s or so that were 12 but they were more chillers.

The misery is real, that's for sure.  Ingrown toe nails and other squeezy fits, to now being a lot more comfortable, even if they do sometimes feel a little big.

Idk man, sure, I’m older, I’ve gained weight and some of it’s probably gone to my feet, but also, in general there’s seems to be no size consistency even between the same brand. “TTF” doesn’t really mean shit anymore.

I went to Cowtown on my lunch break because they’re having a huge sale and ended up with a pair of size 12 Skate Slip ons. Not sure how my foot possibly grew an entire size when I’m in my mid 20s but whatever at least I know now and am getting some relief. Also impulse purchased some Ace Classics 44s because it was $30 for the set. I’ll probably post about them in the buyers remorse thread in the next few days.

The misery is real, that's for sure.  Ingrown toe nails and other squeezy fits, to now being a lot more comfortable, even if they do sometimes feel a little big.
Ingrown toenail is my biggest fear. I had one years ago (probably due to wearing shoes that were too small) and it wasn’t fun. I’m happy to have found shoes that fit me well now. These are just for work/chilling but when it comes time to get a new pair for skating I’ll have to get something other than slip ons. The size 12 are a touch too big and wouldn’t work for skating, but shoes with laces I could pull a little tighter should work good.

I went thru the same thing. Ended up selling 5 pairs of new 10.5 half cabs. Was frustrating but i moved up to 11 blazers and its been wonderful 🫣

I had to buy shoes. I was hoping to get one more month out my slips but I got through the rubber stuff inside and I didn't wanna rock shoe goo on these blue suede slips that I'm fully in love with.

I feel like it would have been disrespectful to the funk that is that shoe.

So good so good.

I gotta stick with Vans.

Gotta keeps it really real with Billy England.

Sub Six Scallywags in full effect poser.

my brother got an ingrown toenail around 12 years old, turned into cancer, chopped his toe off. cancer came back, got rid of it again, came back on his lungs in his late 30s and now has 1 - 5 years to live. true story. ingrown toenails are no joke

Shoes getting smaller or feet getting bigger???

I know I had to eventually stop kidding myself and go to size 12 from being in and having so many size 11 Vans for so long, although I did have quite a few cup sole Vans from back in the 00s or so that were 12 but they were more chillers.

The misery is real, that's for sure.  Ingrown toe nails and other squeezy fits, to now being a lot more comfortable, even if they do sometimes feel a little big.
[close]

Idk man, sure, I’m older, I’ve gained weight and some of it’s probably gone to my feet, but also, in general there’s seems to be no size consistency even between the same brand. “TTF” doesn’t really mean shit anymore.


Ha yeah, for sure though, things are not what they used to be.

Funny thing with my feet is my second toe was starting to curl from being too cramped, so although I would often try on size 12 years ago, they were always too big, but now they seem to fit a whole lot better.

Other perfect fit size 11s that I used to wear a lot I tried on not too long ago and they don't fit at all.

Not a worry either way.  Size 12 it is for me now, apart from some quick slip Eras without socks just to dash down to the shop or something.

To be fair, I think I was always more 11.5 and we don't have half sizes here, so it just felt better to squeeze into 11s for too long than have 12s that were too big to skate well in.  Now almost always in size 12 shoes, my feet can move a bit more, but I use extra tongues under the existing tongue and just a flat thin added insoles to make the 12s fit better.

This way my feet aren't feeling like the shoe is way too big overall.

i always have it in mind to get a new pair, it’s been a few years since i’ve had them.
if i could only wear one shoe, i could do most of my shoe wearing activities in the ave. not my favorite looking shoe, by any means, but for me, highly functional. said it several times, but i’ve run in them, with no issues, and they lasted well for me skate wise.
i wish they could make them look less….xero shoes. i’ve liked some of the color ways, the mono color schemes worked the best for me.
if vans could do the impossible and make an authentic that lasted longer than a day of skating, that wasn’t a violent crime for my feet, i’d be all in. the last skate shoe i probably liked the look of, on myself, was a pair of julien’s authentics. long ago. i’m too old and fat for that kinda shit now.
anyways, everyone hates in the aves, and i think they skate super well and my feet didn’t get as gross and sweaty.




i’ve got a fucked up toenail from getting stepped on in soccer, looks terrible, for the last ten years. that cancer callout had me shook

yeah. definitely not a durable shoe IMO. feels like it could rip at any moment when wearing from day 1.

honestly you would probably like the nb 440. breaks in great, durable, feel like those would last you a while. or maybe we need to get the AS-1

If you want long lasting shoes then modern Vans are not too high on the list. They might outlast LR or Cons vulcs, but they're just not durable. I'm not hard on shoes and I'll get a month out of a pair tops.

The 440 sole wears kinda faster than ideal but I think that's an update for V2. The nice thing about them is the lows are always on sale. I went through the mental gymnastics of them not matching the aesthetics of what I would normally wear but after my first pair and how much better my joints felt I really stopped caring.

Which shapes did you get?

If they sell shovel nose / FA shapes that aren't overly steep this could be interesting, off the catalog looks like the 8.0 - 8.5 will be the standard BBS dimensions / shapes.

The 8.78 width, as in almost 9" wide board?

Only asking to clarify as there was a small version released too, for those who like the guy but only ride small boards.


On the bigger board, I was curious how the tail looked and felt, but with a 15 or something wheelbase on 32.5 I thought it would be a bit short compared to others of similar length but way shorter wheelbases.

Guessing it adds up ok when you look at it or stand on it though?

Had a tactics coupon and scooped up a pair of ace classic 55s for my shaped board. It’s 9.25 at the widest, but a tad under 9 on the tail holes and 9 on the dot up front. I’m stoked because I’ve wasted to try aces for a few years but always copped out and bought Indy

What make them TOA? Black baseplate and the thingy you showed on the photo? Curious if there's anything else

Got the hopps 7.8 and the glue 7.75 from my local. Both are flat but the glue is flat as hell.  The ishod is a true fit 8.06. I fuck with the tue fits heavily. The thunders go with the lil guys

yo…how flat are talking?

i am on a glue 8.125 and i really like the shape. it’s flat, could be flatter.
the other board i ride is an 8.06 true fit, not flat. not really a fan, cuz it’s steeper, and just…i know bbs makes ‘better’ (longer lasting) boards, but it just doesn’t feel nice, and the pop is decent at best. 360 flips are a saving grace of the truefit

Worked 14 hours Sunday and told myself if I got over $100 at my second job I’d treat myself to some Ace 55s for my shaped 9.25”. So I got that coming in the mail. Stoked to try Ace finally.

It's pretty damn flat. Like that was the first thing I noticed and the reason I bought it. It is a 7.75 so I don't know if that makes a difference.  Here's the true fit on top and the glue on bottom (https://i.ibb.co/2jsbzyP/IMG-20230614-212155282-HDR.jpg) (https://ibb.co/2jsbzyP)

nice! how much was it? thats the main thing that has held me back from getting one is the price. i dont change wheels and bearings often but i do have a set of quantum isotopes that i should be more careful with when changing wheels.

It was freaking expensive, 100 Swiss francs which is roughly 100 bucks. I have Quantum Fusions and need to clean at least one wheel after literally every session to keep them going so I had to get it. Now I am stoked to clean the bearings on all my set up, can‘t wait for them to seize up lol

A great investment. Ive had mine for about 5 years and use it all the time. Itll make you more likely to clean your bearings, also makes me feel good knowing theyre pressed in much straighter than i could do with my hands.

And I never need to clean my Quantums but have only had shit luck with not only Swiss, but all Bones bearings. No matter how reliable a product in general may be, there are always gonna be defective or subpar individual pieces/sets. Sucks that Easy got a bad set, just as it sucks that I got bad Swiss. Doesn't mean the products themselves suck though.

Well, I admit that I had a set of sub par Swiss as well. I am really not trying to be unfair to Quantum and I am happy for you and every other user having good experience with them.

However, I got a double pack of Quantum Fusions in January after getting advised by the Quantum dude on these forums that they were their best bearings and could take a beating. They even threw in two extra bearings, so I had 18 bearings to work with in January. Today I have 7 left, and threw all others away because they constantly seized up despite cleaning and did not spin properly. I used the Quantums only in dry conditions and didn't even slappy on them, although I originally intended to use them for a rain slappy set up, because I thought the ceramics would work on a rain set up.

On the other hand, I've had two sets of Swiss 6 so far and no issues on any of them, and I use them for slappies. I have even been using a very old set of Bronson G2s on a rain slappy set up the whole winter without cleaning once and they spin ok without ever seizing up.

Tl;dr: I guess you can be lucky or unlucky with any set of bearings. Personally, I'll just stick with Swiss 6, which makes sense since I am Swiss. I am very tempted to try the Swiss ceramics.

For sure, that's exactly the point I was trying to make. It's definitely a bummer that the Quantums didn't work out for you, for whatever reason that may be. I'm just not a fan of this all-encompassing way of dismissing a whole product line due to individual anecdotes.

Two sets of quantums i have had, isotopes, suck as well. Numerous other slap posters have said the same before the quantum dude axed the thread. Im not sure whats all encompassing here- when people leave a review, its of their experience. Nowhere, especially online, do people say “oh ya, I spent good money on this product, it didnt work out for me, but hey, it may still be a good, top quality product. Must have gotten a bad batch.”

In fact, i was going thru old bearings last night, stuff from free pile boards, from a decade ago etc. isopropyl treatment and the left over quantum speed cream stuff. Both sets of quantums still had multiple seized bearings.

sorry to keep dragging the bearing argument

I love Bones Bearings and have had multiple sets of swiss, swiss 6, big balls, reds, super reds. Swiss and Swiss 6 were the best bearings ive had. The Big Balls, reds, and super reds have been a hit or miss. I've had some sets that work amazing and some that got shitty after i cleaned and used speed cream

With Quantums i only had the metallics and the isotopes. the metallics were good but felt sluggish after i used speed cream and i've had the isotopes for 3 months and they're working well.

I have the Big Balls in my cruiser and they're working really good - better then the last two sets i had.

So in my exp both bones and quantums have been good and bad haha

got some swiss 6 and some small lock-ins. i much prefer how a thinner pizza cutter wheel flips, just feels correct to me. but these lock-ins feel real nice, rolling wise. i’d get them again.
the swiss 6 are the best. i have some regular swiss that are more broken in, sound much cooler, and do the highly scientific hand spin test better, but the swiss 6 feel smooth, and seem faster out of the gate, than the regular swiss.

Probably because they suck. I don't intend to be mean but c'mon, I clean my swiss 1 - 2 times per year and I go hard on them.
[close]

And I never need to clean my Quantums but have only had shit luck with not only Swiss, but all Bones bearings. No matter how reliable a product in general may be, there are always gonna be defective or subpar individual pieces/sets. Sucks that Easy got a bad set, just as it sucks that I got bad Swiss. Doesn't mean the products themselves suck though.
[close]

Well, I admit that I had a set of sub par Swiss as well. I am really not trying to be unfair to Quantum and I am happy for you and every other user having good experience with them.

However, I got a double pack of Quantum Fusions in January after getting advised by the Quantum dude on these forums that they were their best bearings and could take a beating. They even threw in two extra bearings, so I had 18 bearings to work with in January. Today I have 7 left, and threw all others away because they constantly seized up despite cleaning and did not spin properly. I used the Quantums only in dry conditions and didn't even slappy on them, although I originally intended to use them for a rain slappy set up, because I thought the ceramics would work on a rain set up.

On the other hand, I've had two sets of Swiss 6 so far and no issues on any of them, and I use them for slappies. I have even been using a very old set of Bronson G2s on a rain slappy set up the whole winter without cleaning once and they spin ok without ever seizing up.

Tl;dr: I guess you can be lucky or unlucky with any set of bearings. Personally, I'll just stick with Swiss 6, which makes sense since I am Swiss. I am very tempted to try the Swiss ceramics.
[close]

For sure, that's exactly the point I was trying to make. It's definitely a bummer that the Quantums didn't work out for you, for whatever reason that may be. I'm just not a fan of this all-encompassing way of dismissing a whole product line due to individual anecdotes.
[close]

Two sets of quantums i have had, isotopes, suck as well. Numerous other slap posters have said the same before the quantum dude axed the thread. Im not sure whats all encompassing here- when people leave a review, its of their experience. Nowhere, especially online, do people say “oh ya, I spent good money on this product, it didnt work out for me, but hey, it may still be a good, top quality product. Must have gotten a bad batch.”

In fact, i was going thru old bearings last night, stuff from free pile boards, from a decade ago etc. isopropyl treatment and the left over quantum speed cream stuff. Both sets of quantums still had multiple seized bearings.

I'm guessing you haven't read the whole conversation. I initially entered into it by answering someone who did not have any personal experience with the product in question whatsoever, but still felt compelled to make a blanket statement about its value. That's what I called all-encompassing.

If anyone has a bad experience with something, by all means post about it. But the same goes for good experiences, arguably even more because we're so prone to talking about negative stuff and often forget to mention good things. That's exactly what I did. This is what Shoes & Gear is for, isn't it? This place would be waaaay more boring if everything other than BBS boards, F4s and Swiss bearings was dismissed out of hand.

sorry to keep dragging the bearing argument

I love Bones Bearings and have had multiple sets of swiss, swiss 6, big balls, reds, super reds. Swiss and Swiss 6 were the best bearings ive had. The Big Balls, reds, and super reds have been a hit or miss. I've had some sets that work amazing and some that got shitty after i cleaned and used speed cream

With Quantums i only had the metallics and the isotopes. the metallics were good but felt sluggish after i used speed cream and i've had the isotopes for 3 months and they're working well.

I have the Big Balls in my cruiser and they're working really good - better then the last two sets i had.

So in my exp both bones and quantums have been good and bad haha

Jeez, Fedex is not doing a great job with these Huf board deliveries. In sales gear thread someone said Fedex fucked up and damaged the package and it couldn't get delivered, and then they treat yours like a garbage bag being thrown around.

Mine is supposed to come in today, but its been moving at a snails pace and going through like 5 different towns two states away from me instead of just jumping straight over here like most of my Fedex packages do.

Apart from that, I also just bought a pair of those Sam Narvaez Adidas Pro Models, Grey Tiago 808s, and a crisp Skate Jawn white tee for the summer.  8)

Just got mine too and yes it's a G052. The tail longer than the nose board that people were complaining about is the G027 not the 52.

I must be tripping, I've never had a crail board before, and I think I'm just used to stubby tails.

My Lynx Zero finally arrived and I'm super stoked. First pair of DC in probably 20 years (if not more).
Love the look, colorway and they feel pretty good + you always can find them for a discounted price and in a zillion colorways.
Got those eS insoles just because they were mad cheap and to qualify for free shipping. I have 0 expectations about them.

Yep, they are the ones that should have "Made in China" in very small print on the bottom of the rectangular red sticker that is usually on all those boards, over the back truck area.

Friends have them and like them, even though they are a different concave and shape to the BBS Element boards that are out, but the fact that they are on crazy good clearance prices all over the place means they are a reasonable alternative if you need a cheap board.

They are some really good pics, so I copied both posts to the Woodshop thread to keep a little more info there as well.

As to the names of the woodshops in China, the main ones besides DSM, Dalian and Excel, even Jeeping and others have very little name recognition and almost zero branding or brand awareness out there, from what I can see or gather.

They operate more behind the scenes and whatever deals are done are usually on a level that doesn't involve a lot of information about the brand or the woodshop.

Yes it is frustrating, when people ask or want to know more, but I don't think there is anything that will change in that regard for those sort of woodshops in the way that others are very well known, eg BBS, PS Stix, Clutch / ASF or similar.

I had been on a short wb kick lately, FA, Quasi, and then last a couple of Polar P2 boards which were already 14.25 wb. Started to feel cramped on the board so I got a green eagle Anti-Hero 8.38 in 14.5wb with some hesitation, figuring there's at least a 50% chance it's going to ruin everything.

First session down and all of my tricks felt just great. Maybe it's the new board pop more than the wheel base, but I was surprised it didn't feel much different. This in on Aces mind you.

tts was the only option as i wear size 13 so i hope they loosen up
Let me know what you think. Im a 13 and it makes me weary about most shoes. It's sad to get shoes your stoked on, just to have them do work on your pinky toes.

Just copped some Bones stf retro v5s 103a 55m. Haven't ran bones in over a decade, just a lil worried they will be monsters in size. Cant go wrong with $25 and luckily scooped the last pair. If the order actually ships

Got two of the Kevin Rodrigues Krooked guest boards. One to skate, one to keep. I always liked how White dipped boards looked in footage, but have never skated one

Another size 13 shoe guy here with a wide foot. I've only been on the 1010s for about a week (3 sessions in) and while they were snug near my pinky toes, my feet never felt cramped or sore. Once the top plastic mesh toe piece broke in, I didn't feel any pinching or uncomfortable squeezing on my toes so I'm hoping it works out for you

The gum bottoms look incredible

I’m a 13, as well, and the 440’s and 1010’s didn’t work for me.  Extremely tight in the toe.  Or maybe I gave up too soon.

Want to try the 574’s though.  The regular 574’s are my everyday sneakers.  Would love to be able to use the skate version.

Another wide 13 checking in.  I just chill in my 1010’s, as I had the exact same issue with snugness around the pinky toe area… wouldn’t want to skate through that.  All other NB# seems too narrow to even wear, so I’m a KSL guy as a result.

First order from val surf and they have a returning customer for sure. Everything was individually wrapped, even the packing slip came in a nice envelope. Especially glad they did the grip like that, because I've ordered grip from big name mall shops before and the shit was just thrown in the box and destroyed by the time I got it. Only bummer is the wheels are more of a cream that white like advertised but who honestly gives a hoot, they'll turn that color on they're own anyway.(https://i.ibb.co/vq5ft1s/IMG-20230814-132546-2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/vq5ft1s)(https://i.ibb.co/YBgPKFh/IMG-20230814-132704.jpg) (https://ibb.co/YBgPKFh)

If any pals local to him need new couches and shit go score.

for the green eagles, bonus thunders and a skated BA AH deck (plus non skate stuff). Excellent, excellent trader. Jai!

Scooped these lightly worn blazers from @Atiba Applebum at a very good price. Thank you!

The HUF/Girl deck is flat as fuck and will be fun as fuck

Order the scumco a while back on a union sale too and am glad to have it on ice.

Obvious=no strap

They're more comfy and better materials (from when I tried them both on).

I've yet to skate my adv forums (been using them around the house to break them in super good before I skate them) as they are thick shoes (leather) and would have been to warm for summer.

Gave the Fastbreaks another chance (bought a pair a while ago and ended up returning them cause I wasn’t sure about the sizing) and they’ve quickly become my favorite skate shoes.  Had to pick up another pair.  They’re like a more flexible dunk with better boardfeel.

I went a litttttle crazy and set up 4 different boards so I can zero in on my ideal setup by swapping out parts between them

Currently I’m favouring the Girl Gass 8x31.5” G045 on 2016-era, solid 7.75” Tensor Mags and 54mm F4 classics.

The two Chocolates (G027, G052) just showed up today, gonna try them out on Thunder Lights and newer/hollow Tensor Mag Lights with 53mm Nyjah wheels. My frail old ankles like the longer tail a lot so far

The Quasi Proto on Indys is an abomination. Might be skate-able on like Venture Lows or something? thing has like no tail. 6.25” or some shit. Has more ghost pop than a haunted Coca Cola factory

Good to know, mine are suede because i can't imagine myself skating the leather ones. The regular ones are on of my alltime favorite shoes just for casual wear so high hopes for these ones.

^ Those Telfords look damn nice. In Finland, Telfords are priced about the same as Lakais vulc models which is weird. I feel like everyone in the US would laugh at us spending 100€ on Lakais.

My exact point... Fucking sucks since I really like Lakai and their models were always good to me (besides that select vulc crap they had years ago) but paying that much when I can get Tiago's for less makes no sense.
I feel posh now skating these Telfords high that I found for a decent price on sale (€55)

Yeah that is the typical "Blue eagle" shape, so the shorter 8.5 x 31.8 with 14.25 wb which starts off about 8.4 and tapers down to about 8.3 at the back or even less on some boards.

A good shape for people who want a shorter and not quite so wide 8.5 board, but definitely not the usual 8.38 which is longer and doesnt taper at all, 8.38 x 32.2 with 14.5 wb, which that Tanner Van Vark board was you and I have both had before.

Sound confusing?  It can be very annoying for some people from the listings and other spec info.

If you don't mind giving it a go, easy, but if you were set on the actual 8.38 size, then oopppps.

Sorry.

i got this real deck of Long Beach Skate. Says its a 8.38 but the DLX catalog has it listed as an 8.5 and when I used a tape to measure it, it falls just short of 8.5/8.4
[close]


Yeah that is the typical "Blue eagle" shape, so the shorter 8.5 x 31.8 with 14.25 wb which starts off about 8.4 and tapers down to about 8.3 at the back or even less on some boards.

A good shape for people who want a shorter and not quite so wide 8.5 board, but definitely not the usual 8.38 which is longer and doesnt taper at all, 8.38 x 32.2 with 14.5 wb, which that Tanner Van Vark board was you and I have both had before.

Sound confusing?  It can be very annoying for some people from the listings and other spec info.

If you don't mind giving it a go, easy, but if you were set on the actual 8.38 size, then oopppps.

Sorry.

all good bro! ive seen your ig and it seems you know DLX shapes really well.

also since you tinker around with gear - any tips on getting that foam black? thanks

Had unknowingly skipped over the shoes before, but now I look at them again, I might have some ideas.

I know we used to paint or colour the shoes or even areas of them as I had done again recently, but as soon as you get some wear, the original colour shows through fairly quickly.  Even nail polish type of thing for fine work, which might sound silly, but it is the sort of fine detail that could make them a lot more workable.

Guessing even just dulling down the colour somewhat would be good there, but as it is not any usual material that I could easily paint, suede or canvas being the main ones, I wonder if even putting black shoe goo thinly over it might at least black it out some without it looking silly and protecting it from the first ollie which would take off the paint or other thing on there.

Maybe whatever colour nail polish or fine paint and then super glue or clear shoe goo over it?  The black paint and super glue worked on another pair of shoes with a big VANS down the side I wanted to tone down.

Just throwing round some ideas anyway.

Split wood veneers too on those ones???


It is a bit weird, some runs are BBS, some are China.

Different places seem to get different stock too, so unless I know or see them in person I don't risk it.  I only skate BBS boards, but that is just me.

At least when they are on such a good special, if they are not what I want, they can always get passed on to others.

It says split/dip veneer.
It's probably BBS since it's more of an eco Collab. The 1%, plant a tree whatever probably doesn't make as much since if it's Chinese, but what do I know.

Yeah I had to look it up after seeing your boards.


https://www.elementbrand.com/element-x-smokey-bear-if-not-you-skateboard-deck-194844214881.html


Such a good size, shape, etc for me on the 8.5 boards and the split veneer is pretty cool too.


When I said "Its a bit weird..." I was meaning how they switch up woodshops, not the board itself.

Probably confused things wording it like that.


When you can get them at 50% off, why not, especially when there is not a crazy / bad graphic too.

Yeah they're legit. The GMN are NOS from ebay. They were a more common "premium" bearing back in the day, so there's still cases of them floating around. I believe old school skates sells NOS ones.

For the FAGs I found a guy in the Czech Republic who supplies industrial parts and he ordered them for me. Most suppliers don't want to bother with such small quantities and they often have like a 100 piece minimum order or they'll charge a bunch for shipping, so this was the easiest and cheapest way I found. They were I believe $28 including shipping and the whole process took about a month.

How were these bearings? Like compared to Swiss Six, my current favorite, and reds, they last me a month….

I had many sets of GMN bearings back in the 1980s. They were the best bearings for the price (about $10 back then IIRC) with NMB being a close second. When Bones Swiss came out it changed the bearing game. They rolled faster and lasted a lot longer but were 3x the cost of GMN. Swiss 6 weren't around back then but today, Swiss 6 are slightly better than regular Swiss IMO. Unless you are on a budget, stick with the Swiss 6.

As a change of pace from my usual shoe buying habits of big bulky fuckers, I got some Accel Slims as a birthday treat, largely because they were £40.
I've been changing a lot of shit up, jumping from 8" decks to wide boy 8.75, felt like a slimmer shoe might be a good change of pace. Haven't skated them yet but they're a world apart from the Accel OGs. They're weird, they're how I imagine many of the early-mid 90s Etnies felt. I never wore any of those creps because I wasn't born until Yeah Right came out.

The Accel slim is such a let down compared to what it could be, at least in my mind. I wish eS would either reissue the Accel TT, or if the Accel slim is charmander and the Accel og is charizard, they need to put out a chsrmeleon Accel.

I remember my older brother had some Accel TTs at somepoint, white leather ones with Nyjah Houston's face on it like a fucked up Stan Smith with a predator instead of a tennis player on it.

Anyway if you want that Charmeleon shoe, try the Etnies Kingpins. Here's how they compare against the slims and the OGs. Sorry if i'm sounding like a broken record because I swear 99% of people with Kingpins are like "they are like accels but not bulky as shit but not like a stedded Authentic"

That warning sticker totally looks like PS Stix.

Any indication if it is BBS (as previously said by others) or if Chico is also now with the professor on the PS Stix wood?



Edit:

I went and had a look and he credits the professor, so yes this guest board is PS Stix.


Copying your post to the Woodshop thread too.

Thanks for the great pics of the board.

One of those Old Bones knee compression sleeves with the springs in the sides. I was not digging the advertising, but gave in when my last sleeve blew out in a month or so.

First thoughts are that the fit is better and is more comfortable than any other medium support brace or sleeve I've tried. It's long, reaching from mid thigh well down past my knee onto my shin. Feels snug and keeps things tight in the joint, which is exactly what I need. Only wish they had the plain black one in my size.

My knee has been through it this summer and every knee compression that I find in stores like the nike ones don't really do anything as far as real support and lining things up correctly, feel more like a piece of legging on top of my knee, do these actually give good support compared to other ones out there?

My knee has been through it this summer and every knee compression that I find in stores like the nike ones don't really do anything as far as real support and lining things up correctly, feel more like a piece of legging on top of my knee, do these actually give good support compared to other ones out there?

I'm wondering if the nike/other ones you've tried are that thin compression "dry fit" type material, or were they thicker, more substantial, woven type material?

I have lingering instability and unhealed meniscus damage from stair jumping days, and these provide enough support for my situation. They're made of a stretchy type of woven material that holds its shape, plus this one has the metal springs sewn into the sides that make it a bit more rigid and supportive.

If that's not enough, I'd look into a brace with adjustable straps or even a hinged brace. I moved away from them when I was sick of restricted movement, but they definitely lock you in tight.

Ordered some shoes from a shop, they sent me the wrong color, and now they’re sending me the right ones. Not sure if I should send back the old ones or keep both?

Technically, I know you don’t have to send back the wrong ones, but it feels wrong to keep ‘em lol

One of those Old Bones knee compression sleeves with the springs in the sides. I was not digging the advertising, but gave in when my last sleeve blew out in a month or so.

First thoughts are that the fit is better and is more comfortable than any other medium support brace or sleeve I've tried. It's long, reaching from mid thigh well down past my knee onto my shin. Feels snug and keeps things tight in the joint, which is exactly what I need. Only wish they had the plain black one in my size.

Ok cool, yeah the ones i tried were in like a Marshall’s/sierra or walgreens but didn’t feel anything like what you’re describing. Prob will check it out cus my inner/behind knee needs it. Thanks for the info!

Damn it, but also not damn it! I scored the last 11.5 from Premier of the Boss' NB# 480   ;D

Casually checked Slap (knowing they dropped today but also not focused on it) and thought why not? I know I'll want them since I'm a sucker for earth tones. Trying to not spend money, but it's fucking hard when bangers like these drop

Haven't tried 480s on yet but I'm 11.5 in most NB cupsoles I've had so far. Fingers crossed they are golden fit wise once they arrive.

Just bought at a skate shop in Bulgaria, discounted heavily to the equivalent of $55. Which is a dick ton of money for local salaries. I lived in the states so it’s shocking to see most boards being over $80.

Skated it once so far. Feels pretty good.

Bought a pair of éS Accel Slims bc someone said it was the worst skate shoe ever, and bought a pair of Etnies Marana Michelins bc someone said it's the best skate shoe ever. Really wanted to see how relevant other people's product reviews were to my skating. Though I can't wear them rn bc I'm out of town and I ordered the shoes back to my hometown. Returning in a few days tho, I'll see how it goes.

Interesting take from said person, I've never owned a pair of etnies before nor do I have any desire to. However, I'm pretty sure the marana and the accel slim are one in the same, unless I'm thinking of a different shoe. I had some accel slims and they were just okay, not a huge fan of soletech to begin with.

The Marana and Accel Slim are two completely different shoes. Marana has one of the strongest, most durable soles/uppers, while Accel Slim is one of the least durable soles/uppers.

Marana has michelin rubber so it wears super slowly, and the accel slim is pretty grippy but way too thin and flexible so it wears super fast. The suede is on the thinner side compared to the Marana. That take from the person suggesting them is pretty spot on. I've skated multiple pairs of both and that's my opinion as well.

Marana: (https://i.imgur.com/gqVbvRS.jpg)

You're right about them being on the opposite ends of the shoe spectrum. Accel Slims break in super fast but don't last as long, Michelin Marana's break in slowly because of the toe cap but the sole lasts forever. I go with the Swift 1.5 as the happy medium between them.

It's fucked. Pre covid infliation they were $80 or $83 max BEFORE any clearance/sales. Joslins were $80 when they launched in 2018.

All of their models went up at minimum $10 :(

I'm thankful I've stocked up (sales and non-sales) of Marana and Joslins over the years so I'm bummed for others barely wanting to try them now and risking $100 on them if they can't get their size on sale before committing to more pairs if they like them

Ha, my buddy and I ordered some fake unc "dunks" off DHgate for 30 bucks each for our Cali trip 2 summers ago. They showed up smelling like a bag of middle fingers. They were fucked after about 15 minutes of skating and ended up just throwing them on a powerline because the "unc" colorway I ordered was just a repainted panda dunk underneath. You get what you pay for. Hopefully your experience will be better.

I bought the DC's because I was needing a pair to skate, then I saw that Axion had shoes on their site for $20 so I had to take advantage of it. I'm set on shoes for like the next year and a half since I have a couple of pairs that I'm saving up for filming some clips I've been wanting to do for a while so I'll whip em out once I'm ready. I think Slap has contributed to my overspending on skate shit, oh well fucc it.

I follow them on insta and they posted they were having a $20 sale this past weekend. They had one a couple of months ago. Seems like they don't really sell that many shoes so they have these crazy sales every once in a while. Which is perfect for me because I think the shoes are really dope but I usually don't pay more than $50 for shoes, especially for a brand that had no direction or content.

Yeah, I saw a while back they had some sort of sale where they had 20 dollar shoes but I didn't think they would be doing it again. Seems like things arent going too well over at axion as their comments are flooded with negativity and they're selling previously requested shoes for 20 bucks

For my birthday I bought a mystery deck from my local shop then told them to give it to the next kid who needs one.

They just posted the vid of surprising the kid and I throughly enjoyed hearing the surprise and stoke in their voice when the deck was handed to them.

I've not picked up anything since Late June/early july. Go me.

Snagged this yesterday tho:
https://www.skatewarehouse.com/Primitive_Vianna_Bliss_Deck/descpage-PRVNBLSDK.html

Primitive Vianna Bliss Deck
8.38 x 31.88 x 14.19 WB x 6.9"N x 6.6" tail (and it measure true); it's full and rounded.

Here's hoping I can overcome my truck madness and decide what to pair with it.

I got that same deck when Primitive had it for sale for $23 and ultimately gave it to a friend. I couldn't see myself wanting to be tied to a single shape, however, a friend owns that and the Krooked Manderson and measured/mocked them up and his III is the exact same dimensions and possibly a hair steeper nose. So if one works the other should as well. He's an Engineer and even used a contour gauge to confirm the "fingers of flat" is the same and the WB on both matches up perfectly.

Got some cheap lakai Cambridge a while back and just popped em on my feet tonight. Never had a lakia shoe and these were comfy and roomy out the box. Just walked 3 miles and my feet feel good. Slightly wider shoe than the blazer mid

I've a manderson on hand, Dim-wise they're pretty close, but when gripped, very different shape (mandy is squared off nose and tail the prim is much more rounded). Think my mandy was a II.


WB def don't line up with mine, enough diff were I could not line up bolt holes and get bolts through all of them (thankfully as I wanted a shorter but not short short WB).

Yah he was able to easily line up the bolt holes and put bolts through all 8. Measurements were spot on. Probably some variance in the molds/pressing. Hope either of those work for ya!

Purchased this Richard Rizzo deck and some more Fastbreaks.  The Fastbreaks are my favorite skate shoe.  This is my third pair in a row.  My only complaint is that I wear through the bottom of the sole a little quickly.

both of these look nice.
it’s fun to be able to get the good thing. both of these look like that to me, not a compromise due to a sale/or wanting a super specific measurement.

No, it is 8 for sure.  With a 14 inch wb.  I checked when I got it.  Might be an Orchard exclusive.  That is the only place I could find it when I searched.

This may be the wrong thread, but does anyone know when the new 5boro gear drops? I want to try one of thier boards, but due to shitty customs/shipping, it's a bit expensive to ship (I've wanted to try Hopps for awhile as well, sale issue) so I was hoping I could load up on t shirts & hats to justify the costs.

Yeah I'm holding back setting it up because it just looks so good.  IV on the top stamp which makes it even better.  I'm curious about deluxes 8.12 shape. That has a 14 inch wheelbase if I'm not mistaken...

I was hooked up with 3 dark green eagles, supposed to be 8.38 14.5 WB, but measure 8.5 across the whole deck, 2 of which have IV stamps, and they’re gonna be fine and fun, but im low key jelly on that full se!!!

Usually Deluxe 8.12 shape is 32 long with 14.25 wb.
8.12 with 14 wb is released less often so be careful when ordering online.

2 pairs of carhartt b01s in 34x36
sizing up to 38 waist next time for sure
they really dont allow much room for leg movement when tts

2 pairs of carhartt b01s in 34x36
sizing up to 38 waist next time for sure
they really dont allow much room for leg movement when tts
but its obviously unfair to compare them to polar surf pants

anyways, they fit me perfectly and my shorty likes em
didnt lose
the baggier pair arrives next week and will be skated to hell

b01s still the best
i need to wear something else because i wear mine for work, and now i’m basically only wearing these. it’s too much.

Haven’t skated that shape but I’m fully on board with 97 being the best all around duro. I’m in 54 classics and I don’t think I’ll change that for a while

I believe they use Generator now.  Shape looks good - nose/tail aren’t too square and certainly aren’t pointy. Pretty medium concave I’d say.  Looks like a 14.25ish wheelbase.

Was gonna wait til Ishod 2 to buy more shoes but the deal was sweet. Got some bearrings and a frog T plus some hardware for 90$ total free shipping.

their shapes are really good.
the boards last and last. and last.
i skated an old girl board last night, and i’ve always got one in the rotation.
the wood can feel a little stiffer than i prefer….but the length of time their decks remain functional is really impressive.
it’s the shapes that amaze me

They are a dark brown with a black sole - best colorway I've seen in a while.  I go back to the Accel every now and again just because it fits my wide foot so well.  Now that they took a good bit of stuffing from the tongue and it seems like a little from the collar, I think I'll be going back to these more often.  Definitely looks and feels better on foot.

personally on that 14.375 w/b i'd probably go for the thunder 161 since they apparently pull in a little bit compared to smaller thunders. Or I'd go for some Indy 159. I've been eyeing that football for a while but just have a stack of decks in the way till I have room to buy something else.

8.5 politic deck with a 14.5 wb. Trying something slightly smaller than usual because I really want to improve my flatground. I'm so close to nollie heels, but the 8.75's weren't really making it easy to land those.

Definitely best bang for your buck, especially if you like mellow shapes. I know a few people who swear by them.

My contribution to the thread -

(https://i.ibb.co/pjX3xRd/2023-11-10-14-40-33.jpg) (https://ibb.co/pjX3xRd)(https://i.ibb.co/Nm2Gy3s/2023-11-10-14-07-37.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Nm2Gy3s)

Scumco logo 8.5 x 31.5 14wb shovel nose. Not that I needed yet another scumco logo board (I have like 7, from 3 different woodshops no less) but the shape and dimensions reminded me a little of my beloved yinzer shape but on my preferred wood from my hometown heroes.

LRAB vm001 suede dusty blue. Had my eyes on this color for like 6 months and they were marked down to $45 so i had to,  even though I'm afraid they'll probably clash with like half my outfits.

Scumco vidalia onion inspired shirt. Also got some cheapshots because I need new bearings and I can never remember if I like them or not. I usually go ML for budget bearings.

Just got for the first time since 2014 an 8" board.
Local here had this GX1000 for €28 so it was hard to say no.
Eventually I'll use it with AF1 44 which should be ok-ish since I was skating 8.25 with AF1 55 for a while and I really liked it.

First 8" board I have since 2014. I know that probably I'll hate it + is PS so it will last 2 weeks and then bye but for €28 with Mob like grip I couldn't say no. Maybe it will be fun on AF-1 44 since I skate better when trucks are 0.25 bigger than the board.
Wanted to use so clear griptape to do something fun with the top graphic but couldn't find anywhere here and sure thing I didn't want to order that so I did the shades treatment.
Funny that in the second pick looks like a 40" long lol

Oddly enough, most of the people who loved Zero growing up and are more likely to skate them now are 25+ skaters. Not saying they aren't popular with younger skaters but most of the graphics released seem to be throwbacks/reissues of graphics they've already done. Which aligns with people 28+ like myself

kept slipping out of pinchy grinds on worn down 52mm classics. got 53mm conicals and they seriously help out with staying pinched. they made my setup feel quite noticeably heavier though, which i actuallynliked. more weight to throw around feels nice compared to light boards that feel like the wind could take it.

big square wheels sound better upon impact to me compared to smaller round wheel. the sound of the wider contact patch reverberates when it hits the ground. super satisfying.

Hell yeah Im gonna skate em haha, I do have like 4-5 shoes on ice too so I'll probably wear them as chillers for a while until they're up to bat. Maybe wear em if Im gonna get a clip. Where did you get the fogs? I hear people say that shops have those less sought after colorways but my local (bluetile SC) never seem to have them and when they do they do first come first serve and kooks that don't skate line up all night long and take em all.

Hell yeah Im gonna skate em haha, I do have like 4-5 shoes on ice too so I'll probably wear them as chillers for a while until they're up to bat. Maybe wear em if Im gonna get a clip. Where did you get the fogs? I hear people say that shops have those less sought after colorways but my local (bluetile SC) never seem to have them and when they do they do first come first serve and kooks that don't skate line up all night long and take em all.

damn, i am in europe and by now it is quite easy to get them through a shop.....most shops have dunks online now and they were even part of the black friday discounts now too. but i just try to keep my eyes open wich means spending too much time online  ::)

i skated mine for the first time yesterday and had a blast, the suede makes them fit real nice.

Do you find them "steep"? I keep hearing the kicks are super steep but to me it just looks like more fingers of flat but the same overall angle.

Is not steep at all, at least not for me. Also is on the flat side which is a big plus for me.

Got those 2x 8.5 Element Phil Z decks today and they are "Built by BBS" plus have identical specs to the 8.5 Black Labels I've had.
I loved those, so if they're using the same mold for 8.5 at Element, as well as Black Label (and other brands I'm sure) then for $25 (sale still happening at the big Z) I'd recommend scooping up a deck or two.

The good thing there is they do show the tops of them in images, which should help anyone see if they have "Built by BBS" in the top line, or just the board size and other generic info from the one made in China.

* Seems like it is the only BBS 8.5 from those boards I brought up too.

The two of those I got a while back, also on a super good sale here in AU were the best concave and everything for me, a little more on the mellow side than the Black Label and a few other BBS boards in those same dimensions I have bought before and after.

On one hand I would say get all of those ones while you can, as they work out cheaper to buy and blank than actually buying the blanks to start with, but for some people, that would be more trouble than it is worth.

The ones I have blanked really well.  Nice stains too.

Yes, those ones! Wanted to add my confirmation for any other US pals looking to still score some quality decks for an affordable price OR were also skeptical of BBS vs China vs PS vs Clutch, etc. woodshop versions some brands have had to alternate to during Covid.

These two I got do not have the divot/circle indent that most BBS boards tend to use, but do not always. Regardless, the shape, concave, tail/nose "hips" all look like other BBS I have, so I'm happy. I got natural wood stain and orange for the tops!

That Phil Z graphic is one of the more inoffensive ones from Element I've seen, so no need to blank for me. Happy to skate them as is  :)

Why not? It’s what the threads here for, right?

- 144 Indy Hollow
- Walker Flocked 8.38 (white dipped bird pattern stamp, red to blue fade)
- Bones x99 52mm v1 Gustavo wheels
- Indy Blue bushings
- Indy Black bushings
- Walker Zen 8.38 from last summer drop (huge Black Friday sale)

What’s the result of the spending spree?
- gave away x99 to friend as early Christmas present. Went back to x97.
- Black bushings too hard, not using
- Blue Bushing too hard, not using
- hollows were too loud, so added “Liquid Nails” type epoxy to bottom opening of kingpin under truck. Seems to help deaden high pitchy-ness
- waiting for zen board to arrive so it can be in the closet as backup for a few months from now.

I got 6.1s on the way.

9" Ben Raybourn. Has a 14.25 wb I think. I'm pretty sure I searched Orchard with the key words 14.25 and boom there it was.

I am beyond stoked.

When those Spit Beat downs drop I'm going to cop a set in each size.

My hope is a pro will try the 66.6 and be like yo! That's my joint that's my ham salad. Satanic pro model plz. We can keep them in regular rotation so I'll never go speed deprived again.

We really are finally breaking new ground in popular skatebloarding.

The vibrations are louder… so grinding on chunky ledge yeah, but most noticeable when rolling on rougher ground.

It’s more “plink” than “plunk”.

I just came off skating standard base, standard kingpin, and titanium hangar (frankenindy)… so no hollow anywhere.

Boom!!!!

6.1s!!!

Shorty's longer hardware for when the Beat Downs 66.6 drop in the spring.


I'm low key scared I'm not going to get a set. I feel like asking someone at Dlx if I could buy a set early.

Yeah I'm really nervous about not seeing a set in time.

This is a historic f****** event. Dude spitfire I don't think they've ever done a wheel that big.
They started with the smallest of the small. I got some old butter tablets in my toolbox.
There's been a 63 I think for Grosso.

So i feel like collectors are going to jump on them.

Especially because they have the dope ass cmyk Warpaint
graphic.

I need a set to ride and a set to keep.

I don't like saying that they will last me the rest of my life.
I hope I live way longer than that

And I know when people like Pedro and Funk and Greene get these wheels it's going change some shit.

Kids are going to trip out once the feel the wind whipping in one ear and out the other.

We really are at the forefront of speed now.

Shits going to change shit like big time.

Let's us know about how you like the wheels. They look sick. Kinda vintage looking that combo. Very nice.

I can't believe my board has a 14" wb. Tomorrow I'm skating flat all day then hitting the diy after I get rails.

I haven't done a board slide in 3 set ups. I've been feeling religious lately.

Post by: Xen on December 05, 2023, 11:18:04 PM
I threw them on my last 8.5 Foy twin tail (14.28wb) and had a great session.

Honestly the ventures felt great stock, no adjustment…but still wish I went 6.1 (for a specific curb spot)…I think I’ll nab some 6.1s for the madness…. But damn, you know how hard it was to find Hollow cast 5.8s, let alone that collab?

Not to repeat a post, I dropped some feedback in the wheels thread on those X 99s but suffice to say, the wheels felt haaard, much harder that my white x99s but the shape locked in and rolled out well.

Here’s my panic buy from an extended Black Friday sale. Maybe going to make it first deck to hang on wall till it gets used (or kept as wall art because it’s so damn fine in person: opaque clear coat that has some glitter in it that shows the wood grain underneath.

I think that was the board that was supposed to be "Mellow mold" or something similar, so if you have had DLX boards, or BBS in general before, how does it compare to those others?

Even to stand on it on carpet or something, does it feel flat or more mellow than any other board you have had recently?


* Maybe not after looking it up again.  That one is Zen with natural ply, from the catalog listing.  Some others were "mellow mold" or "mellow mold slick" from what I can see.

Oh man, sorry I need to turn on “notify me of replies”…

First thing I measured was the kick degree compared to my current DLX 8.38 (also Walker. Flocked. From Spring 2022)

They are both (II) and the tails are the same degrees, but the nose on this Zen is .5 to 1.0 degree less steep.

So both (II)’s are pretty much exactly the same.

Zen for sure. Was very Zen after seeing it arrive safely through USPS.

Maybe going to make it first deck to hang on wall till it gets used (or kept as wall art because it’s so damn fine in person: opaque clear coat that has some glitter in it that shows the wood grain underneath. And blue top is super sweet. Just please no yellow… I do NOT like yellow)

I think that was the board that was supposed to be "Mellow mold" or something similar, so if you have had DLX boards, or BBS in general before, how does it compare to those others?

Even to stand on it on carpet or something, does it feel flat or more mellow than any other board you have had recently?


* Maybe not after looking it up again.  That one is Zen with natural ply, from the catalog listing.  Some others were "mellow mold" or "mellow mold slick" from what I can see.

Oh man, sorry I need to turn on “notify me of replies”…

First thing I measured was the kick degree compared to my current DLX 8.38 (also Walker. Flocked. From Spring 2022)

They are both (II) and the tails are the same degrees, but the nose on this Zen is .5 to 1.0 degree less steep.

So both (II)’s are pretty much exactly the same.

Zen for sure. Was very Zen after seeing it arrive safely through USPS.


Ha yeah, not a worry with replies.

A good one for the wall or to skate, either way, win / win!

Are slappies in any way better than royals? I'm dreaming of 149 ultra lights

They grind better on crunchy shit (why I switched) hell they feel on par or better than Indy grinds…turn wise I find them better for curbs and tranny; different tool for a different job.

They’re taller so I feel better on bigger wheels, less wheelbite overall regardless of wheel size.

Where royals are more thunder/venture, slappy are more ace/ Indy.

Coming off 159 royal ultra lights, I was kind of shocked how light the 159 slaps were…even compared to the 8.25 hollow IKPs.

YMMV.

This is exactly what I was trying to describe to another poster on here recently and they didn't seem to see my perspective! Based on the design, geometry, etc. That Slappy shared when they launched their trucks, I gathered they were a blend of Ace/Indy in many ways.

Seeing how you inferred that based on riding that, my own observation may not be too far off without trying them myself just yet

Stocked up on boards over the past several months. My money will go toward important responsibilities soon, so I figured I'd stock up now. All size 8.25. Board collection in the back.

April Mariano cornetto 2 board, BBS sticker certified. I pored through shop sites online trying to find this with no luck. Then I randomly stopped by the "uncool" shop (which doesn't even have a website) and they had it sitting there. Never had an April board but their shapes get love on Slap, got to support Mariano, and I like the colour/graphic

FA Wanto Dill board

Girl Tony Ferguson. Not sure if I want to skate or keep since he never had a logo board before this one

Quasi proto

Studio deck. I was wary of buying it since it's Control wood and Control gets a bad rap on here, but the shape is nice, graphic's cool, it was on sale, supported a cool Canadian company, and I supported my local shop

Girl Bannerot blooming. This graphic series is imo the best that Girl's put out in the last decade at least

They’re also sharper than Indy and more stable than Ace (and pinch better than either imo, more like a thunder). In fact slappies kinda sit in the middle (like theeve) benefits from each camp.

Royals are just turnier ventures.

G3’s are wayyy better than Reds. G2’s are better than Reds. I would compare G3’s to Super Reds, or better. Been skating G3’s exclusively for the last 5 years

Gd that's a killer graphic. Good job Christopher Roberts. Nice haul.

If I had a pro board I'd definitely twin tail and I'd definitely be the King of hearts or something. Use my face tattoo as the suit.

First pair of SB Dunks. Was hoping I’d hate them, but after a quick inspection I can tell that won’t be the case. Nice and soft and adequate forefoot protection. Thicker than a Fastbreak, and slightly thinner than a NB# 480. Sucks they’re impossible to buy without fuckery though.

Yeah I thought the same thing after I took the pic, but it’s just an 8.5.  I think it also might be because it just came in a loose plastic sleeve rather than shrink wrapped.

Got a There mystery box. Ordered 8.5 and part of the reason is cause there has the wildest variation in WB of most brands that I see. My goal over the last year was to stop caring about shapes. Now my 2024 goal is to stop letting wheelbase mess with me.

Thought I could only skate 14.25. Am now skating a 14.4 wb 8.675 polar and loving it. Will I get sent a 14 wb marble or a 14.6 chandler? Either way I’m stoked. There is easily my favorite major distributed company (gay duh).

While wb def makes a difference for some tricks in finding I can just adjust how I skate and focus on different tricks with different wb and it’s actually been a blast. As I get older and my skill and pop diminish I’ve been having more fun skating gear that’s sorta difficult to skate. Instead of trying to go bigger and learn tons of new tricks it’s been great trying a setup that’s hard to skate and do my regular tricks/see what works for that board.

DLX is my favorite company too.

The only reason I care about wider wheelbase is that I don’t want to slip out on turns as easy.

Have fun! That’s an interesting take on wanting to skate MORE challenging gear in old age. Most people want to skate EASIER gear so they fall less, cause falling in old age sucks. ;D

Amen brother. Couldn't agree more. I stopped giving a fuck about sizes and WB. Currently I'm skating an 8" 14 WB with AF-1 44 and also a 9.125 14.5 WB with AF-1 55 and I'm having a blast on both.
I realized that I was way too hell bent on finding 8.25 with 14" and at the end I was super limited by that. Now whatever makes me get that "Uhm, looks fun/interesting why not?" feeling in going for it without caring about a single thing.
Is liberating, can't recommend enough to have 2 setups (8.25 and 8.5 truck) so you can fuck in a wider range. For me that gives me the liberty of enjoying anything from 8 till 9 and a little more.

Was that China or BBS wood?

I haven't seen either in that shape, only the shorter China boards in the 8.6 size, so that is interesting to hear.


They had the 8.5 a while back on 14.75 wb, just like the long Real board, same as the Uma Landsleds board too, come to think of it, both BBS.

Have fun! That’s an interesting take on wanting to skate MORE challenging gear in old age. Most people want to skate EASIER gear so they fall less, cause falling in old age sucks. ;D


I got a Baker mystery box, and I’m pretty bummed. 8.5 with 14.5 wheelbase, smh.. if anyone has 8.5. BBS decks with shorter wheelbase I’d be down to trade, especially if you are in the city...

Got a There mystery box. Ordered 8.5 and part of the reason is cause there has the wildest variation in WB of most brands that I see. My goal over the last year was to stop caring about shapes. Now my 2024 goal is to stop letting wheelbase mess with me.

Thought I could only skate 14.25. Am now skating a 14.4 wb 8.675 polar and loving it. Will I get sent a 14 wb marble or a 14.6 chandler? Either way I’m stoked. There is easily my favorite major distributed company (gay duh).

While wb def makes a difference for some tricks in finding I can just adjust how I skate and focus on different tricks with different wb and it’s actually been a blast. As I get older and my skill and pop diminish I’ve been having more fun skating gear that’s sorta difficult to skate. Instead of trying to go bigger and learn tons of new tricks it’s been great trying a setup that’s hard to skate and do my regular tricks/see what works for that board.

https://bakerskateboards.com/pages/board-construction


They have the 8.475 shape which is a shorter wb and length than the usual 8.5 board, which may or may not work for you.

8.475 x 31.875 with 14.25 wb


Not that it really helps you right this minute, but that is the closest in size / shape and also Baker.

Of course there are quite a few others, DLX 8.5 blue eagle shape, the 917 8.5 board (same shape) and a few more I can't think of right this minute.

Grabbed another Ben x metal x KTCM. Got the grasshopper shape I think it's called.

It'll be way easier to flip than the 9"

8.75 double drilled with a 14" wb. Maybe less? Thatd be cool to try.

I'm going to skate all 6 holes.

Pepper grip in my shit but I will say this.

I feel like perforations in the grip expose your board to wetness easier.

I barely got the board wet and it sounds like yuck.

The ole winter foot stain in all I can see for wet marks.

I been skating in cover. I just ate I'll shit in the filthy garage 30 minutes ago.

My dumb ass thought first person slides are siiiiiiiiick! Let's do one.... Boom Tripod everywhere.

Luckily my Obama phone survived

I went on my local shop’s website and let her build out her own setup. 7.75 Zero deck with the 3 skulls with blood running down from the nose, venture trucks, 52mm spitfires, China bones, and shop hardware. She got a fresh pair of Vans old schools to go with it. She was hyped as fuck when she opened her gifts today.

She got some krooked grip with a bunch of flowers on it. Completely clashes with the zero graphic but the deck is blue on the top and the grip between the flowers is clear so it actually looks pretty dope. She is hyped on it so I’ll let it slide even though I’ll never ride anything but straight black.

didn't purchase it, but won this in a techdeck Instagram giveaway over the holiday. Where you tag a friend. Me and my buddy agreed to split the decks. There were also a ton of techdecks. Loose ones and multipacks. too many.

size medium shirt that I'm not sure what to do with.
8.0 deck. Shape is actually perfect, but not wide enough to ride.

I must be old.

Either that or I’m missing the graphics from the late 90’s (like Shorty’s cereal character decks)

Because that is an awesome graphic, and I am way more excited than I should be over it.

I saw a red foil Kool Aid Man graphic from DGK at the skatepark last week and thought “I want that deck”

I’m too technologically challenged to post a pic from my iPhone or I would do so. She did get props from one of the local rippers at the park for her choice of grip and it made her day.

How’s the fit/quality on the Ace hoodie? Been wanting one but can never find one out in the wild.

Fit is weird since M had the arms ok but overall length was like an S. Went for an L and is perfect. Quality is solid.
Btw skated the Dial Tones yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised.

Picked up a 5 pack of BBS GS8 shapes from Generator’s skatesamples.com site.  When you get them in this volume, they’re down to about $30.50 USD after shipping + taxes & the popsicles are about a buck cheaper a throw.
Save even more $$$ if you can commit to 10 of a given shape at a time.
Top & bottom stains vary, but quality is the usual top-notch BBS stuff.
(https://i.ibb.co/DkKT5NQ/Don-Granch-prototype.jpg) (https://ibb.co/P4C0wRg)
Dims on these here fuckers are 9x32x14.5 w/ a 6.75 snout & a 6.5 ass.
With wood prices on the rise, I figured I’d be a financial ding-Dong not to lock in a low price for the next year (plus) of wider decks. 
When my stack of 8.5s is burnt, I’m going back for a short box of the G86 to finish out my feasible skate life on since I’ve only got a few more productive years in me before I hang it up for a walker.

Yeah they sure do look good!!!

Are the bottom stains the same as the tops on all of them, eg green top with green bottom, blue top with blue bottom, etc?  Or just the coloured tops??


On one hand I want to order some, just to share the joy, but on the other, it is a long and expensive journey to AU and I really don't need more boards.

I don't know either, but someone who maybe ordered boards or had some connection posted this, which has all the dimension info for all their boards, which is still up in the Woodshop thread:

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=120409.msg4016120#msg4016120


The first thing I did when I saw this was save the pic file, just in case it got taken down, but no one has asked for it to be removed.

Just safer to post the link than keep reposting the pic file, but thanking @Fast_Freddie for the info always helps too!

The tops are a random affair as far as colors.
Just two plies (top & bottom) are died.

Thanks!

All the Black Label boards I have do have the same colour on the top ply, as they do on the bottom ply, so regardless of the actual colour, it is blue on the top and the bottom, or orange on top and the bottom.

Some other brands that use BBS / Generator seem to also have the same two colours per deck, just the top and bottom stained, but those two stains the same.

Others I have noticed have different colours on each board, eg green on top with a blue bottom, purple on top with aqua on the bottom ply.  Not limited to specific brands, but I have noticed it on small brands as well as bigger ones, like Baker, Deathwish, Birdhouse.


I find it interesting to see the different colour options, ply layups, etc.

Almost obsessive actually.

Going through decks lately, so I ordered a couple 8.5 blanks from Dime’s web store, because it was the best deal I could find from an actual skate shop.  Not sure why my local doesn’t keep shop decks in stock, maybe they’re not profitable, but I wish they did.

my understanding is that shop decks are certainly profitable. i’ve enjoyed buying them for that very reason. my two favorite shops frequently stock shop
decks from generator, and lately from ps stix too. the generator boards, i like better than dlx. shop
graphics are nice too.

i like the pros too, good to spread it around.

Shop decks are definitely profitable. Some shops don’t like doing shop decks because although it makes perfect business sense, it does take away from the actual board brands. You sell less “pro” boards, those boards might sit, they become stale, you gotta put them on sales.

At my shop, we stopped doing shop decks because we got a bad run of boards during the pandemic from the woodshop we were going through.

So stoked on these Alltimers Fastbreaks.  They fit like a glove and I’m hyped to know Fastbreaks work for me.  These are super luxe, and the sole seems like it would wear down sort of quickly so I’m not sure I will skate in them.  Even more stoked now for my AS-1’s coming in the mail, which I’ve heard fit analogously.

Yeah paid full price for the Palace fleece which was more than what I paid for both Polar and Theories pants combined. But did get a great sale price on those 93s and Lounge pants from Furnace skateshop and they shipped super duper fast (2 days) all the way from CA to ME even with that free shipping.  ;D Been loving all three!

Not a fan of the cw but for €60 I couldn't pass

Yes. Not my color way but yes!

My ankles fixed it seems.

Before in vans or whatever. My ankles would pop all day long.

I get out of bed CRACK! Walking down the street
Crack crack crack

I was at an all-time low too. I switched now I'm better. I haven't had this since injury in 2017.

Thank you Tiago. I'd say I owe a little bit.

If primitive comes to Boston and I notice I'll give you some art or something.

I got art I been holding for mark and Fred too.

I think I lost the Fred one but it's in my sig.

I had the Gonz one there too but it might have gotten deleted.

I have that one right in my desk. I rarely see him tho. I definitely feel funny about chasing him down. Cuz I know I'd not want it if I was him and he was me.

Cuz every old lifer to me is equal in awesomeness imm we shouldn't come at each other like that. We should converse become friends then do an art trade.



It's a drawing of Jake bombing a hill. From Marks beautiful eulogy.

 Pretty sure marks filming with his laptop. The song starts. It was All of me. I live that song. Me and my kid would sing it to each other when I first arrived to help take care of her.

Jake bombs down the hill and they pass some birds.

So simple but incredibly beautiful.

It's one of the most beautiful most inspiring things I've ever seen.

Fuckin Jake looked so good on board. His style was the beez fuckin kneez. Jakes rolling silhouette was unmistakable just like Hasoi's is in the air or Tony doing a sad plant or mark doing a crazy Ollie.

To be honest Jake was a bigger influence on us Marblehead kids in the 80s than any pro in history.

Punk fuckin Rock. We all put t-shirt sleeves on our bald ass heads to be like the those original Boston crew guys.

He was the real fuckin deal. Definitely would be bummed on our shoe choice.

what i did:
  • disassemble
    removed pivot cups
    strip the finish with sandpaper (theres an easier method to this, but forgot what chemical to use)
    used a brush to rid off the residue
    painters tape on pivot cup area and kingpin (if youre painting the hangers put em on the axel)
    lightly coat the first layer
    wait like 3-6 hours
    another layer
    let it sit for 24 hours (longer the better)

what i used:
  • 3M 80 grit sandpaper
    Premier Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Aerosol Spray Paint & Primer

Thanks for the infos ! I’d definitely do that next time instead of looking everywhere for a nice coloured pair of trucks

Maybe because at one point it was very hard to get, but whenever I see a whole roll of Jessup, I can't help but smile.

Lots around now and I will never run out, but it was pretty scarce at one point and I really don't like riding anything else.

I haven't skated them yet, but they appear to be some very soft, premium leather.  Glove leather? I dunno, but they're nice in the hand.

First time trying out ventures. 5.6 hollow axel hollow kingpin. Always had skated thunders but since getting back into skating I've wanted to try other brands out. Got some Indy titanium's but the pop feel just isn't there. Everything else is great. Thunders I just wish had the longer baseplate for slides. So ventures seem like the perfect truck for me. Now just need it to stop raining...

Yes. They had those crazy deal 2 years ago, where i got 4 alltimer decks for 80 euros i think, which was posted here :D had some good deals on shoes since then. Been also tempted to buy a few 440v1 for 40 euros for a while now ^^

Excellent! Like I said it looked legit, but had to make sure. They had some crazy deals that were just burning a hole in my pocket, fuck the exchange rate and shipping, the discounts make up for it heavy.

Edit: Damnit, they don't ship to the United States. Any Euro Pals willing to let me ship them something and turn around to ship it to moi? I'll obviously cover all costs .

I have some that I occasionally skate.

Theyre pretty good but the midsole (and insole) is very thick and soft. Feels like adidas ultraboost almost.

Extremely comfortable, good shape and quite stable, very light too. Flick, grip n all that are fine. But due to that thick midsole, even though its quite flexible and light, you feel a lil detached from your board.

I still prefer how 1010s skate overall just because I feel more connected to my board, but the li nings take impact like no other shoe, even project BAs.

Got used to it fine, but stuff that required a lot of precision like flatbars and some more tech tricks was a little less consistent and i noticed it more when I was rotating with my other shoes.

Slimeline HSR deck rails. They come with way better/more trustworthy hardware in comparison to Lil Jawnz and Pig. I hear bad things about the non-HSR line (be careful). I'm doing buttery smooth boardslides on unwaxed curbs with little to no speed. They are very fun and I wish I tried them out sooner. 8)

Should have gotten these from the jump.

My goodness gracious I am having an incredible time.

97a f4 is the top formula on planet earth for New England Crust. I'm just weird because I thought the 54a was just too small.

It's going to be nicer on my ledge day set up. 54-52s are my preference when I'm only gonna be at the plaza.

In the burbs I've been dying on the unseen pollutants laying about everywhere this day.

Orchard didn't get the Big Beat Downs yet. I have no doubt there will be sets for at least a month. I think when I looked the 62s was already gone online.

I pretty much only fuck with my shop. I would fuck with Dom's shop tho. After all my mom thinks the man in the streets the only good thing MTV ever had going for them.

I agreed. Dom should be tapped to bring back The Ball. Skip right over that poser Ricky Rackman. We met that jerk when I was a kid. Enough said.

Lost the last 3 caps on these 2016 bearings

Never had a brown bottom ply or an orange top.

The brown really makes the graphic pop; though, blue or orange bottom would have been sick, too.

Anyone got pics of other bottom ply colors?

It's still got the Roll Forever cardboard insert so at least 10 -15 years old, the Plus Size models were in circulation around the 2010s, so I'm guessing 2014 - 2017?

Board graphics like that often work so well, maybe more so on some nicer stains than others, but I recall seeing teal and grey / charcoal bottoms on those from catalog and shop pics.

https://www.realskateboards.com/spring-2024/

Doing a google search now, there are a few more up for "Ishod burnout deck" including bottom stains in pink, brown, green, blue, teal, charcoal, purple, orange and more.

I have a thing for nice stains, so would be tempted to razor blade that graphic off, just to have a good stain on a shape I like, but that is beside the point.

There seem to be way more options for good colours now too, compared to what there used to be.

My local was having a sale so I picked up some Bones X99 52mm and I’m pretty excited to try them. I bought some X97s a month ago but those are primarily for two skateparks in my area that were too slick on F4 99a classics but I haven’t been to them yet since getting the X97s so I’ve spent very little time on them.

Outside of my 10 minute cruise and flatground tricks on the X97s I haven’t skated anything other than Formula Fours since they were released over a decade ago. Pretty excited to try out the X99 just to have something different to skate that are as well reviewed as they are.

Graffiti lettering fills sometimes Star with a tricolour aqua fresh style.

I took the effects from SPone I think. He was like one of the guys who brought NY styles to Boston in the late 80s

I would say that mad money Mise was the king of those.

Violet Clementine deck. I wanted this one for months but couldn't justify the price plus potential import fees.

Saw the stock dwindle down until there was one left in the size that I wanted on the entire internet from what I saw, which was at Val Surf. I didn't check FB Marketplace since I don't feel like rejoining social media.

Anyway, I wasn't able to buy it until recently, and of course, it sold out from Val Surf as soon as I was able to fully commit to the price.

The way I got one was pretty cool imo - I kept looking and tried something I've never tried before; I contacted Violet itself to see if they had any spares lying around somewhere. I figured fuck it, I doubt they'll even respond and it's a pretty far-off request but whatever. But to my surprise, they actually emailed me back and told me they didn't any 8.25s left but they did have two 8s left.

I was hyped and asked for one, and whoever runs the email was polite and put the option to buy one back on the site. So I did so and it came in via UPS, and yeah the import fee was high but not a big deal. And the cherry on top is that I measured it out of curiosity and it's actually 8.18, so a bit closer to my current preferred dims. Violet gets hate but I'm feeling this graphic and the customer service was really helpful, so it's cool.

I was skating Ishod 8.0" twins prior, which have 6.5 nose/tail... a little too small IMHO, especially with a 14.3 wheel base...

The 14" wheelbase makes the board feel a lot more agile.

I don't know if it's too late now or if you already returned them. But how did you knew that you bought fake bearings? I think there was a thread somewhere but I haven't really seen fake skate products in real life. Or maybe I bought fake stuff several times and didn't recognized it.

They are getting harder to tell, besides the fact that real Swiss last ages and fake stuff does not, but the lettering on the bearing shield is less curved on fake swiss, from when a comparison was made.

That and checking the shop is a registered Bones / Powell stockist also helps.

Edit: apparently nothing since when I came home I realized they're fake so I have to go back to the store and ask for my money back.

I don't know if it's too late now or if you already returned them. But how did you knew that you bought fake bearings? I think there was a thread somewhere but I haven't really seen fake skate products in real life. Or maybe I bought fake stuff several times and didn't recognized it.

Counterfeit skate gear thread

They are getting harder to tell, besides the fact that real Swiss last ages and fake stuff does not, but the lettering on the bearing shield is less curved on fake swiss, from when a comparison was made.

That and checking the shop is a registered Bones / Powell stockist also helps.

I was just about to post that the first check is a legit dealer....

Then say I bet Mbrimson88 would know.   ;D

They didn't said Made in Switzerland, on the back of the box said 1983 instead of 1981 and also didn't had the Bones website but instead the full physical address.
Returned them and with the money bought from my local this and I still had spare money left (place is rumored to close so they have crazy deals). Wanted to try small wheels for a while and I like that color + you can't pass F4 for €17. Also thought to get G3 a try since they were mad cheap and need to save a little money since holidays are coming.

I ordered some boards from Baltimore Board Brewery

Had an email exchange with Jim, and He was great. Customer service one point. The original graphic I sent was too dark and did not print well. He ran the graphic and emailed me to say it looked like crap and didn't meet his product standards and offered to rerun it for free if I lightened up the image. I know other printshops would have just said fuck it and shipped them with no explanation.

Not only that, but he accommodates for small runs, AND exposed stains, which is not something other shops let you do with small print runs and I never knew why. He also honored my requested pink board and did top graphics for free.

It’s okay. You atoned for your sins.

But even a quicksilver retail store should have legit gear you’d think. It’s just a retail store on par with a vans store.

What a bad manager/owner if they were fake. Loser might have bought cheap on Amazon to resell at full price to skaters that didn’t know any better. :(

I would think in a situation like that, someone working there has done some switch of product - bought fakes, taken the real swiss bearings for themselves and then readily refunds if they are found out.

Seen it before with other shops / situations, which is not that common really, but it does happen, unfortunately.

Any which way, at least most other bearings on the market are not being copied anywhere near the way Bones bearings are.

Ha yeah sometimes I get in pretty fast, but it is good to have knowledge like that too and spread it around so more people know and hopefully are not taken in by any fake products on the market.

It is easily possible that bearings were very old stock, those kind of shops do not sell through their inventory fast if they sell at all.
Long time ago, maybe 7 to 10 years ago, real Bones bearings packaging looked like you described and switched due to counterfeits.
Good that you managed to get your money back.

Got some Hours delivered. Been walking in my first set for a couple days. I'd say about 80% broken in, minus flick spot.

Fit is maybe a smidge small in length, fairly wide at the toe box, and the padding on the tongue and collar is rather minimal but present. The collar was a bit tight/stiff for the first day, but seems to have softened and molded up okay. Insole is similar to Vans Pop-Cush, maybe a touch softer/squishier, but nothing massively different.

Really like the top-down view, simple toe shapes are always lovely to my eye. Materials feel nice overall.

Been digging em on first impression, going for a sesh after work to see how they feel on board.

One of the local shops did blind bags for Skate Shop Day. You could choose a width. So I thought I'd try something different and went 9". I've got some Ace 55 classics not being used.

This what I got, graphic makes sense if you are from here. Very long wheelbase was thinking it might be a wall hanger but I guess one of the reasons I'd not use the Aces was the short wheelbase on the Dane1 they were purchased for.

One of the local shops did blind bags for Skate Shop Day. You could choose a width. So I thought I'd try something different and went 9". I've got some Ace 55 classics not being used.

This what I got, graphic makes sense if you are from here. Very long wheelbase was thinking it might be a wall hanger but I guess one of the reasons I'd not use the Aces was the short wheelbase on the Dane1 they were purchased for.

this graphic is nice!
i love ace classic 55s.

sometimes a long wheelbase board is the best! i’ve been a 14” wb person for most of my skating life, but my current favorite boards is just shy of 14.5” wb.
and for what it is worth, my best ace trucks setups have been on short wheelbase boards. i was reminded of this yet again, with a 14” wb board and af1 44s.

I ordered some boards from Baltimore Board Brewery

Had an email exchange with Jim, and He was great. Customer service one point. The original graphic I sent was too dark and did not print well. He ran the graphic and emailed me to say it looked like crap and didn't meet his product standards and offered to rerun it for free if I lightened up the image. I know other printshops would have just said fuck it and shipped them with no explanation.

Not only that, but he accommodates for small runs, AND exposed stains, which is not something other shops let you do with small print runs and I never knew why. He also honored my requested pink board and did top graphics for free.

If you like to run your own graphics like I do. BBB is probably the best option.

I have to finish skating a Heroin egg so I can use the trucks for the Gonz. I’m not sure whether I want to go for Thunders or Independents on the Wilkins board. The Ishod is the only one I’m not skating, but I’m going to set it up on my 40th birthday.

Got some Hours delivered......

Been digging em on first impression, going for a sesh after work to see how they feel on board.

Had a number of sessions in these now, and I'm honestly pleasantly surprised. Staying pretty comfy and holding up pretty well.

First off, the laces look good to start but fray super fucking easy after being skated. Probably gonna change em out in a day or two. Overall wear and tear seems to hold up pretty decent otherwise, with the laces and the accent wave stitch that sits under the eyelets being the most worn spots.

I really like the outsole. Good amount of grip on the bottoms and the sidewalls feel nice on flicks. Not generally a big fan of the stubby toe cap, but it works pretty good on this shoe. Good ass shoe for heelflips.

Definitely not the most amazing skate sneaker to exist, but my feet like em enough to at least check for em on sale.

Pretty much my impression, they really are a vulc that skates like a cupsole. They wore in so nicely and stayed comfortable it was hard for me to switch them out even after the toe cap wore through - with super glue I skated them past three months at 2-3 sessions a week.

I wanna get the new version since they have a tongue straps.

The only times I enjoyed skating Ventures is when I rode 5.6 trucks on the 8.3 slick. Trying other combinations is unsatisfying to me, but I’m going to see how these work with an 8.125-8.25” deck before I experiment with Indy. I’ll probably be back on Thunders by next year unless I regain a bunch of tricks on Indy/Ace.

Normally not a fan of colored trucks, but Venture does it right.

Which Footprint insoles are those, the kingfoam elites?  Or are they flat and is it just the wear that makes them look like that?

I would always cut down the toe only, but cutting that big heel off a little might work better for some of the other people who tend to have it never sit so well in their shoes.

Just a thought anyway.

These are just the regular 6mm kingfoam. I traced the outline of an insole that fit me well from some blazers and ended up with this shape. The heel was super thick but it worked. I bought some of these a couple years ago and these are a way different material. They feel rubbery now whereas before they felt more like a fabric and had stitching near the edges (if I’m remembering right) they have a bit of arch support which felt  weird at first but after walking around for a couple days has mellowed out and they actually feel really good. Haven’t skated in them yet but hoping they’ll help with all the aches and pains.

Thanks!

I had heard from others that the product had "changed" more recently, compared to what it was a few years ago, when I did get a few orders locally for a shop I was helping out with, so I hadn't really seen much of the different options now.

We used to just do the same, trace an insole that fit and cut it out, but I had always left the full heel intact, but that is a good idea to trim it all round if people don't want the tall heel in some of the options.

Some people find them a bit too soft, but others swear by them and that is all they will use in their shoes, any shoes.

Hope they work for you.

Yeah man I’m not thrilled on supporting Joey Brezinski but I wasn’t aware of any other skate related insoles. Of course a week after I bought these someone made me aware of remind insoles which apparently has Chris Cole involved. Gonna be trying those soon

It's my 35th  birthday next week so I went nuts and bought myself two Christmas completes to replace my rain/winter board and my regular one. I modify and also give away my stuff often in the fall

New rain board:

8.25 Powell flight(ridden these as my rain board in Alaska last couple years, never loses pop)(actually measures 8.38")
Jessup coarse longboard grip
Four 12" spitfire stickers to cover the powellness/waterproof more? Hahah
**Old modus 7/8 Allen bolts
Ace hollow af1 55's
**Some ol bones flat top washers
and axle nuts to replace the dumb rethread ones
extra axle washers
**Old bones bearings I already have
Spitfire 80hd charger conical fulls 54mm
**I also already have some 97a f4 cf's laying around.

Regular board

Baker 8.25 mellow white/red logo
Jessup ultra
Modus 7/8 Allen bolts
Ace hollow af1 55
Modus axle nuts, extra axle washers
Hard 94a ace bushings, bones flat top washers
Swiss sixes shields popped
F4 conical full 99a 54mm

Backup 8.25 mellow baker, spanky cloud logo
and some jessup ultra grip

Converse fastbreaks

Adidas pro models(these are probably my favorite skate shoe)

Some spitfire wax and that bones bearing cleaner thingy

Woof I'm set for the season

Just gotta not get wrecked skiing. Got some moment wildcat 108's this season and they fuuuck.

I also got some g-form shorts and elbow pads, those low profile ones you can use for mountain biking, skiing, skating, whatever. I've shattered my elbows man I chipped off chunks of my olecranon process like 6-7 times each elbow, I used to drink a lot and skate and ride fast 🤷‍♀️

Ok bye

I bought these from Chris Cole and they are completely worthless for shock absorption. Really great arch support though. I wear them in chillers when my arch is hurting.

Worth $55? No… I should have returned them but I would have to pay for shipping. Oh well.

Classics always stay around as the backup wheels, so you could sit on those for years and they would still be great.

Nice board too!

Picked up some stuff for the rain/winter board.

Bones reds ceramics
Bones speed cream
Bones hardcore griptape

Pretty dialed in now, that grip is like 32 grit or something, flight deck doesn't lose it's pop after skating in the rain, gonna run the ceramic reds with extra speed cream and shields on both sides, spitfire 80hd chargers, should work better than my last rain bloard. #alaskaproblems

gonna get a drum sander and put wheel wells on it at some point.

Indy 144 standards. Got a little bit of madness after realizing how hard it was to flip my board on tablets and started trying to tune my setup by thinking about every part a bit more. I've tried thunder but it doesn't feel right to me. I like the feel of indy's and don't want to risk wasting money on some Aces that will have me wobbling up and down the block.

Bones Swiss I bought off Depop - the seller threw in a free set of Speed Metal bearings, which I was so hyped on. They come with a corny Speed Metal Army sticker. Has anyone ever skated these? I remember the ads in Transworld back in the day but never pulled the trigger since they were way too hesh for me. Also if the seller's lurking what's up, thanks again haha.

They're not worth the premium. If they're lighter, good luck feeling the difference and the grippers only grip the grip, they don't sink into the wood; they also turn silver.

Finally got to skate them last night, I've been so tired with all the stuff we're doing at work. Very happy with the small step down. Indy blue bushing suck ass though, I need some black ones I guess. 149's have been too big for me and I'm glad I at least got that figured out.

I thought I got the Deedz trucks for the SSD Color My Friends Deck, but it could have been for a potential Huffer. They seem too small for the board. I’m thinking of getting the B.A. ones in 66, but I should search for posts to see what trucks other people have used on the 9.81 shape, before potentially buying more shit I won’t use anytime soon.

My experimentation with trucks on popsicle boards is over. I’m sticking with Thunder. I get ghost pop on other brands and have to experiment with foot placement to even land a go-to trick. Ace has been good to me on shaped boards, but is too squirrelly on popsicles. Most boards I ride have wheelbases from 14” to 14.25”.

From the twins thread, but it has the info.

Blank Check is an importer / direct distributor of Clutch woodshop blank decks, of which some people always have some interesting things to say, but everyone can make up their own mind at the end of the day.


* And all the dimensions, wheelbase and everything is in each listing, so it makes it really easy to know what is what there too.

Dimensions:

W: 8"      L: 31 3/8"       WB: 14"       

N: 7"      T: 6 5/8"

Just bought this new bloard: https://www.metalskateboards.com/products/cosmic-chaos-10-0. I'm riding a 9.25" with Ace AF1 66 right now, but I'm curious about bigger trucks like Indy 215s, Ace AF1 80s, and Thunder 181s. Never rode a 10" truck before, curious how much different the feel is. I've heard people say 215s are crazy feeling compared to a normal sized Indy. Also curious if anyone has tried more than one of these sets of trucks and what their opinions are.

I've had a pair of Indy 215s thats been in my mix over past 5 or 6 years. They are sick. Its hard not to have fun riding them. Feels like Indys feel. Turn is fun and turny. I've had points of time running it as my main setup. I think you'll be surprised at how functional they feel for all types of skating.

I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of those brands though I've never tried thunders at any size.

How's the SC twins treating you? May try one out when they go on sale.

Really liking it - I thought it would feel too narrow @8.2 (coming off 8.5s but I did skate an old 8.3 quasi 2 days before I set it up to mentally prepare).

It's not a shape I normally choose (bit tapered compared to say the foy or toy twins) but it just works/feels good. I chalk it up to it being 32" with long kicks - plus....(unpopular opinion) I'm glad it isn't BBS...it feels light and snappy/stiff...BBS have been feeling kind dead lately (but skating PS/DSM wood has that effect).

More importantly, I've run Thunders/ventures on it no prob so it can work with any of that style (going to try royals with those hard krux).

2 AWS 8.25 boards, the Psych 8.25 shape from them is my favorite shape right now
Scumco 8.25 RIP (love the shape but noticeably shorter than the AWS boards)

New 440 V2 Low
480s
Louie Lopez Spitfires
Bones Swiss 6

How long is the tail on the 8.25 Psych shape? It looks like the perfect deck for me as long as the tail isn’t much longer than 6.5” or so. Seems like so many 8.25’s have super long tails which never feels good to me especially with a short wheelbase.
[close]

It's a 7" tail, 7.25" nose, 14.25 WB and 32.25 long. It's definitely a longer board but the shape is great.

Wow those are some really long kicks! Definitely a great shape but unfortunately tails that long don't work for me. Appreciate the info!

been riding only habitiat and workshop boards from 2014-2018/2019 when they mostly were PS- also had quite teh long nose and tail, mostly 14 inch wb, lots of 31.78/ 31.73 or max. 32 lenght. some of those boards were magical.....i miss them.
mind i talk about 8.125 boards here.

After or around the time they switched to bbs boards in that size were longer and had the longer WB mostly too....but felt too big.

Been on a Theories kick lately, found these all for great deals online thanks to Theories sale and Orchard discounting previous season stuff.

The plaza denim is now my favorite pant. The fit on these is exactly what I've been looking for, perfect amount of "baggy/loose" feel and length.  ;D

Picked up a Santa Cruz Tom Asta board today after my session. I’ve never ridden Santa Cruz or anything made at DSM before, it’s been all DLX and one Bsker board for the last 8ish years so I’m curious to see how it feels. Also I’m technologically handicapped so here’s a link to NHS for the deck I got from my local shop.

How do you like the wheels? I need to get some soft wheels, but the last time I tried 92as they felt awful. Rolling on them felt raspy as shit. Don't know if the wheels were garbage or if it's just the feeling for kinda hard kinda soft wheels. I still want to try these Rictas, but I'm thinking about going fully flacid into 78a.

I haven't tried them out yet, not til next week at the earliest. I will let you know how they compare to my current Spitfire Formula Four 53mm Full Conicals 99 when I have tried them out. I can't really compare it with much because I've only tried a few set of wheels, I started skateboarding not too long ago.

Battle of the bushings is about to go down. Ace standard soft bushings are too soft for me and now that indy makes "Original" sized bushings that are similar size I'm going to find a stiffer setup.

Still going to go with a harder duro top with a softer bottom setup ala Ace so I had to get a few sets to mix and match.

Needed a new 8.25 so I got the skate shop day DLX one from Orchard for cheap and a few sheets of Orchard pepper grip, gonna put a latenitestars sticker on the board so graphic didn't matter just wanted nice wood.

Also got the SF Giants dunks from Goat for 115$ including shipping. SB Dunk high for 115 delivered to my doorstep can't beat it. They were 92$ before shipping because they were "new with missing box lid" which seems sketchy but GOAT checks them before and I've never had any problems with them.

Settled on 32/30 and I usually wear 34 or 36. Only thing is that they don't totally cover the heel/go down to the heel of my shoe, but it's better than most other pairs of jeans.

I was the exact same way but the dam eventually burst. These are the only pants I've ever spent over $100 on, haha. I bought other lesser-priced jeans from other retailers (Urban Outfitters blue jeans, 550s from an eBay seller) but they weren't what I was looking for like the 93s are.

Yeah, they fit well enough.  Not quite the same, but depending on what you do with them, eg nose / tail slide or full lock board slides, they didn't get in the way for the people I have seen that have used them.

Might be a little different on AF1 to Ace Classic trucks, but still not anything like the offset of say Thunder to any of the more universal Indy / Ace / Venture in that regard.

Get yourself some elastic bands, speeds up recovery and strengthens to reduce the damage for the next tweak (knock on wood).

Get yourself some elastic bands, speeds up recovery and strengthens to reduce the damage for the next tweak (knock on wood).
Dude, I have a whole physiotherapy facility in my room. Elastic bands, wooble cushion, pilates ball, etc.

ace hards come in handy and you can run nice combos with em

front - stock bottom/stock top
back - hard bottom/stock top
Ended up with hard ace top and 90a independent on bottom and I'm liking a lot.

				Just set up a GO33 Chocolate. Haven’t skated a crail board in over twenty years. The shape is really weird to look at but it seems fun. Raining today but hyped to try it out tomorrow. Have only skated BBS for the last two years so excited but also a little scared to try a new woodshop

Pretty good, leathers buttery no extra laces sadly I swear the laces are just old supra laces since there slightly waxed, I could be wrong. Only thing I will say to anyone interested definitely half size up the non removable insoles makes it super snug I'm glad I did

				With the Vu collab, reminded me that I still wanted another pair of Kalynx. I've kept my original pair DS since I copped the special box in store at Nocturnal when it dropped years ago. So I finally doubled up on the special Muni boxes and have one to wear/skate and hyped to add the Vu 440 to the collection! (If anyone has the special Pulaski box from the Crushed dunks hit my PMs!!)

Destructo D2. Bizarre impulse buy. Brand new on eBay for $20. Have skated well so far. 52 mm tall with a good  grind. Feel like a lower, lighter and more stable Indy. Also dig the 8.38 hangar width. Replaced stock bushings with bones.

I sort of forgot about it until now that I’m playing on my phone and saw the order. I forgot the bearings. I’m an idiot.

				My last SW order with dunks never made it to my front door.

So I ordered again.

Black white gum suede converse AS-1. A little disappointed they aren’t as thick as the dunk or forum, but it feels like a higher quality shoe.

I also also picked up
Jaws Bronson G3s
Large spitfire sticker
Regular Thunder sticker
Grizzly grip
Hardware
Orange thunder bushings
Madness risers to make sure I spent all my credit

Usually I microwave them so the break in faster. Two rounds of 15 seconds.

Thank you. Bummer, well we’ll see how they are….


Element are most commonly two woodshops, BBS (Mexico) as per pic from Twist and then more so now from China (unknown as they are very difficult to determine, but other Element complete boards came from Excel, said it on the board box) for anywhere besides EU which are from HLC and say it on them as well.

So yeah, China made boards - says it on that little red sticker, slightly different shapes to the BBS boards, totally different concave, solid decent boards for people on a budget, as a few people I know bought bulk clearance boards and skate them a lot, holding up well, etc.

When they are so cheap, it actually works out really well in value for money too.


That mini board is a trip though, pretty cool to see.

Nice pics!!!

Ended up drilling the tail back .375" in order to make the nose/tail lengths identical. Hoping it feels good with the 14.3 wb, if not I can always try out the 8.8 popsicle and drill a 14.5 wb.

I might have not purchased bearings but I luckily didn’t piss my surf pants. Thank you for the reminder. I’m doing okay!

Update it was only 2 separate sets of Brandon Beibel diamond 7/8s Allen hardware. Still not sure my thought process there. 

FA board is the same dimensions as the hockey 8.5 x 31.9 x 14.25 I’m skating but it’s more rounded. I love a square board so I’m alittle bummed. I don’t know why I’m veering away from ps stix 8.5 x 32.125 x 14.25 square shape. It’s the perfect board. I held a quasi prototype in my hand at the shop this morning and I had to convince myself not to buy it because I have like 4 boards at home on ice. I’m still going to skate the fa board. I’ll probably skate it soon. Who knows I might really like it. 

Stoked to try out the 93a soft sliders. I live and love in New Jersey and my spot I normally skate flat on is pretty shitty ground so I’m excited to try them. Picked some bearings and a couple sheets of grip this morning. 

Surf pants are still dry of urine.

LOL no way! what are the chances? hope you're not a size 10 then we'd really be dueling for these pairs  ;D

skating the grey/red Lynx now and next will be the Kalynx, want another pair of Shanahan's (but not for $140 retail) they're much comfier than the Clocker 2s even though it has the same mid and outsole.

yeah I really really love the JS-1. Shanahan did such a great job designing and I can’t help but support the dude and his skating. I find good luck just googling the shoes and finding them on sale or mercari, depop, eBay like you

Nope. They don't feel any lighter either.

The 'gripper' bit is ok but it only [does what it it says] digs into the grip, you don't pound them into the deck like the Randoms bolts.

They also don't stay black.

For the premium (I needed to max out for free shipping so said fuck it) it's not worth it.

Bday present from my girl.
Wanted to skate a WKND board already for way too long but you can't find them around here. Some wax never hurts.

They’re so damn fun too; I’m in love with them. 
Being less spendy while having a superior (read: minimal) graphic makes them a no-brainer for me when it comes to choosifying smaller wheels.
Reducing waste is another plus.


I love you, li’l smokies!

Not like a hollow kingpin or axle if at all. The holes are tiny. IDK what I was thinking maybe that they looked cool? They do their job and the flanges in the head might be nice but I don't really have hardware issues in general.
