Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

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.

That is so fucking cool

[FUBAR]

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.

I’m going to get a slap pad when they put them back on line...is it as much fun as I think it will be?

Bluetile Lounge Shop Deck 8.25
Bones Reds
Doh-Dohs Medium Hard 88a

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.

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

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

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.

[munchbox]

artform had a sale and im always down for new bottoms that are long enough in the sizing chart

ripstop pro cargo pants in black
pro cargo shorts in chocolate chip camo

gonna make it a goal to skate in more shorts this spring/summer, forcing me to commit and slam properly or fillet my legs. we shall see

[Boog]

Got a 8.25 full se Jake Donnelly praying fingers deck and some orange Spanky f4s neckface graphic. Also the black and green leather liberty cup.

[bigdave]

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.

[Sativa Lung]

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.

No they were online as well. I bought mine online then just picked up in store.

[moonordie]

First purchase since December, I wanted to spend less money since I was on a rampage lately.
These ones were cheap so why not?

Quality is crap tho.

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.

[close]

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.

[close]

That is so fucking cool

Damn, that's a long time dream of mine. Do you have to cover it every time? In the Midwest, that'd be weathered so quickly.

[TastyBurrito]

Picked up a SeaRat 10” to fuck around on all things curb related.

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.

Where did you grab one from? I’d love to have a couple for the wall but totally sold out everywhere I look and I refuse to pay resale.

[manysnakes]

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

I got mine on baker's site when they restocked. Searched just now and looks like skatewarehouse has the reynolds one for now.

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
