when the set up and the cruiser thread just aren't enough.....
I was a one board guy forever but over time I enjoy building them and always intend on using them for something...most of these boards I never use but don't have the heart to take them apart. I'm not posting on an ipad today so this is reflecting what I'm more so like....
Figured this would be a decent thread...

1. Clay wheel banana board: my friend gave it to me, I'm going to get some loose ball bearings and pretend I'm Neil Blender....not the first time.
2. Rodney Re-issue w. trackers and copers: unlikely source did the build and was selling it. I couldn't say no It's super hard to skate and isn't a good paper weight. For Rusty I should skate this. I started to ollie boards to keep my pop and this has come in handy.
3. Zip Zinger, Indy stage 7 or 8's, powell g-slide protos. This set up is super fun, I totally figured out smaller wheels on this board makes so much more sense. I had big squishes and it was sketchy. Those g-slides work super good because you can still ollie but slide tons. You can hang your feet off on the zip zinger too. Psyched I found a way to re-purpose skinnier trucks too.
4. Natas 101 re-issue, Indy stage 9 or 10's, ditchtechs. Realized I didn't have the balls to hang it on my wall. Stoked to have a set of ditchtechs, I loved those wheels and when I wrote Powell asking why, they sent me the g-slide protos to try.
5. Powell Flight tech 8., full nose, theeve tih's, race reds, 53 STFs: my go to...see set up thread.
6. OG Steve Claar : I had this board stolen when I was in high school but it got stolen. When my neighbour was moving they were using this board, I offered a brand new set up and the kid gave it to me. Steve Claar, Indy Stage 5 or 6's, NMBS!, OJ team rides, these insane schmidt slide on rails. This is when boards were so gnarly....the tail feels like it's like 9 inches long.
7. Jeff Kendall rain board: I found this on the side of the road, felt bad so wrote a note. No one called for it. Has powell bombers and thunders. These trucks don't turn worth shit for this purpose....but they are rusted on. Rain boards are super fun, it's like you're surfing.
8. FA Kevin Bradley 8.5, Theeve tih's, race reds, SPF 81's. I made this set up because I got scared everyone was going to skate 8.5's and I would have to conform. Now I use it when I don't skate parks (never)
9. Magenta board 8.5, thunders, SPF's. This is my miniramp board, I ride tight trucks on mini so my other trucks don't work. The wheels are bones but are nice and wide which is not common.
OK....I know there's dudes here who have a room full of set ups....post em...I bet these boards go nowhere so I promise not to repost it for a year.
