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?

[close]

Yes, worst bearings I ever had. Total crap.

[close]

god damnit

I've a set of Launch G3s, currently shieldess and dry AF and working just fine (granted these have been and continue to be park only use).

[Woos]

My homie has been on the same G3s for almost a year now and they sound fine and are super fast.  I don’t get the hate they get... seems like a hype thing.

Congrats!  I’m jealous. That’s an 8.6 right? Wtf did you take that picture with..?

[cosmicgypsies]

nah 8.125, took it with a clip on fisheye though so it looks huge. bit smaller than what im used to skating but it should be fun, its the wicked princess shape.

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've had a picture of the Rowan Deck sitting on my since it came out and FINALLY got around to buying it for the wall. I'll always have a softspot for a birdhouse.



Got these eS for an early Christmas present and god damn, it's a gorgeous shoe in real life. I'm gonna hold off on skating them until the weather gets better and probably buy another pair just to wear.

and some 52 99 classic f4s.

[woodinbrine]

I ordered Karl Watson's childrens book. My kid's too little for it to make sense to him as a christmas present so I might save it for his first birthday instead.


Also got a set of Mini Logo bearings.

that is so sick i have to get one of these books man.

I bought one for my son a while back and it always warms my heart when I ask him what bedtime strode he wants and he chooses it

[rocklobster]

2 x Real Kyle Walker Matchbook Cream boards from the Chutingstar sale. Hopefully they are a #1 on the press for that sweet sweet concave.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Lusted after these for months so I'm psyched to have finally bought them. Put them on and they felt great. Need some black cinch pants to go with them. Only downside of wearing these is how you need the right pants.

[moonordie]

Not a purchase but I exchanged some TNT AP to a friend for some Ace 44. Both things brand new.

how is the quality on those eS?

[TwisT]

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.

[jay_nev]

Said fuck the online stores and hit my local this past Monday for some hardgoods. Still honored the Black Friday discount. Dane 1 169s and shit Was pumped at their selection. Can’t wait to set it up but this snow is real shit in the northeast

[moonordie]

Lately a bunch of stuff that I'm waiting for to arrive. 2 pairs of shoes, 2 boards, a set of trucks and a mag

[rocklobster]

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.

[moonordie]

For storage. Not really a purchase since I exchanged for me Vans I had.

[arrbee]

Bunch of the new GX shit over a week ago and still hasn’t shipped.

Partially related: anyone have experience with ordering from GX is it typical to take over a week to ship?

I just picked up this deck from my local for my nephew's birthday. he's turning 14 and is pretty into the toy machine art direction. looks like it has a nice shape with a more squared quasi'esque nose, plus i like the blue stain. i think he'll be into it.




Gripping it up for him at work. I'm bald, and no, i'm not happy about it


First time adding one of those clear mob strips, pretty cool.

[Coffee]

Got some 54mm 99a F4 classics today. Won’t be able to skate until Monday but they will look nice on my new thunder 147’s I haven’t skated yet.

that strip of clear mob is all its good for. my worst mistake was gripping almost an entire deck with that bullshit that turns to a sticker in days

[sneakpeekmeek]

Just copped some remind Cush insoles. Haven’t gotten to skate them much but the arch support really does help with aligning my feet so they don’t look so fat when I wear shoes.

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.

[moonordie]

First time I bought 2 boards.
Pretty stoked on skating the F since it will be the first time I try one. Pretty bummed that is a Chinese one.
