just grabbed some Nike SB Mid Dunks for $65 from some weird ebay page called "discountboardshop" a bunch of shoes were all yellowed from I assume being display models with some crappy lights on them. pretty good prices on some random dunks/blazers/etc.

psyched to skate some all suede mids again.

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.

went to VU shop in Baltimore recently bought a pair of the Edgar Allen Poe shop decks and I am hyped. Gary is super rad dude, highly recommend the shop for a decent shop deck. They're made by south central woodshop. really solid decks and cool graphics.

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.

That page has some good deals in my size. Thanks for the tip.

I was going ask what's a good site with big skate shoes, I wear a 11&1/2 to 12 and it sucks most online shops with my size get sold out or don't carry them.

Bought this Chrystie shirt from Theories. Love the shirt, fits perfectly, excellent quality. I fully recommend buying from Theories as well, super nice and professional people working there. They were kind enough to send me a sticker pack and a card that everyone personally signed, even Josh Stewart.

I’ve been wanting this shirt in purple/black! theories is the sickest, they always hook it up. ❤️

For sure, they answered my DMs quickly, hooked me up, shipped quickly. I like the purple one too but purple doesn't look good on me.

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.

Didn't wanted to spend any money for a while but I had to pull the trigger on the collab between Nike and Polar.
Waiting now.

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.

The local Nike clearance store is usually stocked up in bigger sizes. Send me a pm if you want me to keep an eye out for anything specific in your size

I've been wanting to skate a Baker board (it's been a long time) and drove a couple towns over to a shop that I know would have them. Ended up getting the quasi "I survived school today" board, I just couldn't pass up on the graphic. I'll have to get the Baker next because this is my 5th quasi in a row.

Well regardless, that is a dope choice in absence of any Bakers.

I got some ricta rapido 54 mm Slims. I think the marketing for nhs is dorky but it still seems to draw me in. The last few sets of rictas I've had have been just ok but I used to love my speed rings when I had them.

whenyousleep · « **Reply #3261 on:** June 13, 2019, 06:21:42 PM »

I actually just bought film trucks like a couple weeks ago for like 70 something dollars since I had to ship to the US.

buuuuuuuut

Pulled the trigger on some Ace 44's because I wanna skate 8.5 and it's time to be a big boy (55's?)

Reed Richards · « **Reply #3262 on:** June 13, 2019, 07:41:08 PM »

Mentioned these elsewhere but yeah, threaded wheels suck. Plus Tyshawn is one of my favorites so this was a good eBay pickup.

Going to see what's up with the new Bones Big Balls. And if they suck, then its back to the trusty Reds. Hoping to get a chance to roll on em today if it doesn't rain.

I just copped a pair of the lynx reissues in the Brian Wenning colorway.

I was checking out SoCals blanks and found what looks like a 8.5” symmetrical shape. So I scooped that up along with some 52mm tablets.
