Fixer 9.88 (14.65 WB)
169 with crazy mixed up bushings
58 97 CF
Swiss
1/8 riser
WD hardware
Rib bones
Jessup

Oh hell yea

[And_so_it_goes22]

These dropped today and look pretty sick.  BBS wood, cool retro eggish shape, wheel wells and iconic art. 

https://blockheadskateboards.com/collections/featured-goods/products/rick-howard-skunk-modern?variant=46948222599472

Already sold out.   Never mind, I guess.

I have a pink one on the way, pretty hyped.  I was initially going to re-drill the front truck for a shorter WB and a little bit of a longer nose. But I guess that would defeat the point of the wheel wells.

Damn didn't expect those to be that hot a ticket. I was gonna run Ace 66s on it to tame the biggish wb. Measured the back bolts with the online tool and everything. I wonder if they will show up in any shops?

What what did you come up with as far as width over the back truck? I’ve been thinking about what trucks it’ll get. 

And at this point I’m pretty committed to redrilling it 3/8” with a Chems.  I know I’ll lose the benefit of the front wheel wells but the revised specs will work better for me.

I got 8.80 so I figured just less than a quarter inch of axle is pretty normal. AF1 60s would probably set it up to be pretty flippy and still bring the wheelbase in overall. I didn't remeasure the front but I think I remember it being 9.125 or so it would magic carpet a decent amount.

ace 80s look so much more proportional than the rest
215s and 181s look wonky for their size

Good after I cut them down to 55.
I tried the keyframes but they were to hard for our roads. Been racking up the miles on her now. Such a good setup. I love the stage 4 indys too, the bushings are perfect coming off my ventures.

I agree. I'll also say that on my last Beamer I was running newer 215's and I could not for the life of me get them to feel "right". They would not feel surfy enough, even with RipTide cups and trying a ton of different bushing variations. The 80's serve a longer wheelbase much better in my opinion. You still feel the added length of the longer WB drilling, but they keep the responsiveness you get out of an Ace truck.

The local told me they had two guys who always buy their stock of Beamers, but I could buy one if either one of them doesn't want to buy this drop or the importer offers to order more of them. Chances are slim, very slim, but I still got hope to finally get a Beamer.

This 10-inch Scram punk point has been sitting in my office for almost a year, waiting for something to get me off my ass and draw again. Its graphics were dogshit (too bad, because I really like the current drop!) so I sanded them off and painted it black.

Turns out, the inspiration I needed was watching one too many fathers pulling their children’s bodies out from under bombed buildings.



So what I plan to do is just ride it with Ace 9.5s and 97a Spits, and like a hand wiping away a mandala made of sand, scrape Bibi’s fucking mug off the bottom of this board.

Yes, it was!
I couldn’t fucking stand the graphics, haha.
It looked like Nolan or whoever phones the graphics in that drop. Which is a shame, became he most recent drop is really, REALLY good

[KILLEDTHEPOOL]

 Yah the new ones do look sick, I dunno I guess I know the graphics will be destroyed soon anyway, so as long as it's got some color so it will look cool thrashed idgaf. The art you did over it is sick btw🤘

this graphic is mega dope


i have sworn off shaped boards, but very early in my skate life i had an airborne (zorlac sister co), and then a bryce kanights (looked, from memory, like the sweatpants shape, sorta). anyways, whenever i’m doing really bad, i want to set up a shaped board and then push around. unfortunately i end up immediately just trying to nollie flip or something dumb and get bummed.
scram is the new zorlac

[disclosed]

the graphic you did is sick @cucktard.

Scram graphics are generally just total fuck it attitude, a lot of them suck ass. but they have their diy charm at the same time.
the new drop has a ton of sick ones tho, loads or punk references. the new shapes are sick too. i love the trident noses. and theres so many like that now.

i love when they had the big ass full color top graphics. those reminded me of old department store boards. they stopped doing them for a long time and just had scram tags on top. but i think i saw a fiew again recently.

thing is i mostly skate street now. so scram decks are not really the best option there. weelbases are much too long for my taste.
still allways tempted to grab one, but theyre not for sale in mainland europe. and thats probably a good thing for me.

They’ve been offering a bunch of popsicles as well recently. Some smaller, some up to 10+, so there’s that.

[cucktard]

Thank you guys for the kind words.

The wheelbase of of course long, but the concave on this board is really cozy

That's a sick shape. Would be amazing with wheel wells. I'll look out for them. At this point I'm set on Stage 4's over Ace and they fit this deck super well. I found Stage 4 166's max out at 9.75" - my new Scram is too much of a magic carpet which I'm bummed over.

This is SO SICK!!! And it really suits Scram's schitck. I wonder if they would do a run of them for fundraising..

This is really REALLY good.  Skate co's should be hiring you, this is better than 90% of the shit they phone in these days.

[cucktard]

If any industry people are lurking here, I’m for hire.

But let’s get back to the big boards. I realistically don’t know how much I’ll ride the Scram outside of big transition.

I’ve got some more big boys ready to go that I’ll share once my black widow is done.
