Polar 8.25
Indy 144 stg 11 forged hollow
Bones stf 99a 54mm
Bones big balls
Indy bolts
Grizzly hrip

Im not sure that those wheels are 54mm, but thats what i was told. Got the setup used for 100€, but the trucks havent even been grinded. First ever bbs deck, first ever forged and hollow trucks and first ever bones wheels. Im not so hyped on the shape, the tail is too long for me but that could be because i suck and havent skated since 2018.

For 100€ you basicly stole this setup, great deal!

@christ0v it looks like you got a really nice deal there. Let us know how it skates.

Blue top ply. I’m not a big believer in the red ply curse or a lot of other superstitious things. I have a couple reds in my stack and they look pretty good tbh

[close]

I’m a yellow top fan, I tend to stay away from the green and blue ones
I actually prefer red tops to probably any other color, especially if it's a nice deep cherry red. I have a red top/bottom DOA toe tag flat and it's gorgeous. Blue (actual blue, not teal) is another one I don't seem to come across that often but really like how they look. I'd probably say red/blue/yellow tops are the best looking ones, then orange/brown/black/green are slightly lower on my ranking but still good. Purple and natural I don't really like but will still skate.

Pink tops can go fuck themselves. It was OK for like the first one or two boards but they've become so prevalent that like 70% of the boards I bought online were fucking pink tops. I would be very happy if someone started a "no more pink" petition to send to all the woodshops.

traded out the love seat early because I was fiendin' to try the surf. Got the full Imp Sausage Metal set up.

This set up feels excellent. This is the experience I wanted from the love seat. I'll definitely be riding more surf jrs in the future.

Paul Grund Surf Jr
Ace AF1 55s
Loophole 56 V cuts
Quantum Isotopes
Bronze
Jessup

haha I’m flattered with the name, you’re in for a tonne of fun!  Funny you mention the love seat because my other setup (currently a krooked Chico) is usually a love seat with films and 52 loopholes on it, it’s my “tech” board and I actually find they compliment each other nicely . The surf with the loopholes and aces though, man it puts such a huge smile on my face! Not sure if you know but the pass-port spade shape in 8.8 is nearly identical to the surf with a slightly rounder tail!

It looks like you took this picture in my upstairs hallway. Farmhouse life.

It’s extremely rare for me not to have a shaped deck, but money was tight and I needed a new rig so I did the unthinkable and bought a popsicle. Hence the writing.

9” No Comply shop deck on clutch wood (I know) 14.75” wb
Ace 55 classics
Spitfire lock ins 54mm 99a
Bones big balls
7/8th Allen bolts
Mob grip.

For the curious, it rides like a 9.25 egg, but it has a little bit more real estate over the trucks. It’s nice but I’m ready to get back to the way of the egg.

WHats the deal with Clutch wood? Im riding a Roger right now (which I assume is the same wood as the No Comply shop decks) and its fucking great

@Freelancevagrant I find this hard to believe w/o a picture.

[Freelancevagrant]

@gsosa I’ve had a few bad experiences with clutch. Mainly their quality control, really inconsistent quality, warped, etc. I’ve snapped more clutch decks on the first sesh than any other woodshop.

@Seventyfuhkinseven meant it as a joke to say more real estate over the front trucks**

@Macho Taildrop traded them to me for a bag of magic beans.

Their 2 years old and he just happened to bless me.

They a fuckin’ rad with the Snack deck. The tail is rounder/wider than the nose by 2 mm or so. Really helps me keep my feet on the deck when I Ollie. Heavier than a BBS deck but nicer concave and kicks. Good deck for someone that doesn’t flip their board.

Oh wait you’re the guy that had them on an April board I already asked you where you got them lol

I wasn't clear, I meant that it was hard to believe you had a popsicle..while trying to get a picture of a 9" pop setup, because I love them.

@Seventyfuhkinseven okay well that makes a lot more sense hahaha

It feels so weird to be in a pop but I understand why they’re industry standard. But I lose another excuse for not landing tricks. “I’m sure I’d be able to get that if I had a popsicle but I mean I just can’t do it.”

I’m running out of excuses and people are catching on that I just suck hahah

You drew that pre-Simpson’s Matt Groening cartoon pretty well. I loved those books...

Cross post from 9"+ thread

Put my Villani on ice for the time being, as I wanted to revisit this twin tail 10" barnyard shape, that I hated and only skated once. Cut it down to 9" Egg and reshaped. 8.75" at trucks, 6.75" N/T, 14.25" wb. Walt "Clyde" Frazier for good energy "stylin' and profilin' "  I just love the Egg shapes

Thank you yeah me too I’m a big fan-boy for basically everything groening has done

[Landmine]

Because I never learned how to read good, I fucked up and didn't get to bring my skateboard with me on the flight up to Portland.  I'm not gonna pass up the chance to skate Burnside, so I hit up Shrunken Head and got a new set up.

Bro, are u ok? Blood flow in your feet worries me.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

haha no need to be worried about. but i can't stand loose shoes at all for skating.
i have to lace them up quite tight and use all the available eyelets til the top.

I’d love a top pic on that Zane if it’s not too much trouble @Landmine  I was just scouring the internet for one yesterday morning but I came up empty handed.

It’s very subtle surprisingly i normally ride venture 5.8 his and i feel like i see more hot rod action on those than the af1s
