That baker does look sweet and seems to fit 9” trucks well.

I set this up because I have taken some of the hardest slams on simple shit on my new Polar 92 and now I'm fucking scared of it. I had 6.1 Ventures on this for an hour and it kinda sucked, so I am going to try my first pair of Thunders this weekend.
Prime 9.5
Thunder 161 hollows (bones mediums)
52 mm sf
didnt know they made 161 hollows. You didn’t try stock bushings just threw in bones?
Is that the prime wood?
Oh they make them mr. and after skating them for 30-40 minutes last night, I can tell you they are amazing. Within minutes I was actually catching kickflips instead of my normal floppy-gross fliptricks I usually have had on 9+ setups in the past. Manual shit on my little pad were far easier, and my old man ollies felt higher and cleaner.
I really like bones mediums and didn't want to go through the bushing break in period, I would rather just skate. The stock bushings could be amazing, but unfortunately I'm not patient enough to find out..
It is Prime wood and it was highly recommended by a pal on here a few pages back. He swears by them, and I can see why.
I did want to try risers with them, but I am having trouble finding compatible ones that won't cost more for shipping then the actual pads.
