Sadly I'll take me some time to know since I got these ones to have in ice after Spits.


Curious to hear how you find those compared to the usual Spitfire Formula Four, after riding Dial Tone wheels too.

Going through decks lately, so I ordered a couple 8.5 blanks from Dime’s web store, because it was the best deal I could find from an actual skate shop.  Not sure why my local doesn’t keep shop decks in stock, maybe they’re not profitable, but I wish they did.

Ok

my understanding is that shop decks are certainly profitable. i’ve enjoyed buying them for that very reason. my two favorite shops frequently stock shop
decks from generator, and lately from ps stix too. the generator boards, i like better than dlx. shop
graphics are nice too.

i like the pros too, good to spread it around.

Shop decks are definitely profitable. Some shops don’t like doing shop decks because although it makes perfect business sense, it does take away from the actual board brands. You sell less “pro” boards, those boards might sit, they become stale, you gotta put them on sales.

At my shop, we stopped doing shop decks because we got a bad run of boards during the pandemic from the woodshop we were going through.

So stoked on these Alltimers Fastbreaks.  They fit like a glove and I’m hyped to know Fastbreaks work for me.  These are super luxe, and the sole seems like it would wear down sort of quickly so I’m not sure I will skate in them.  Even more stoked now for my AS-1’s coming in the mail, which I’ve heard fit analogously.

Got some fastbreaks finally.

Got some moment wildcats with the pivot 15 cast freetour system, and a ride warpig comin. Just got done more zipfit liners. Found out my coworker and her partner have the same snowskates as me

Basically just fastbreaks

Gonna get some CF chargers and longboard jessup and another flight 243 and more hollow af155's, maybe some stage fours with ace hards or something

I got that same color way as a random Christmas gift this year. I would have never bought vans for myself but I’ll bed damned if they aren’t the most comfortable vulcanized shoes I’ve ever worn. They are only chillers though. I only skate cup soles.

You can never go wrong with a pair of half cans in my book.  Props to whoever got you those for a gift

Yeah paid full price for the Palace fleece which was more than what I paid for both Polar and Theories pants combined. But did get a great sale price on those 93s and Lounge pants from Furnace skateshop and they shipped super duper fast (2 days) all the way from CA to ME even with that free shipping.  ;D Been loving all three!

Yes. Not my color way but yes!

My ankles fixed it seems.

Before in vans or whatever. My ankles would pop all day long.

I get out of bed CRACK! Walking down the street
Crack crack crack

I was at an all-time low too. I switched now I'm better. I haven't had this since injury in 2017.

Thank you Tiago. I'd say I owe a little bit.

If primitive comes to Boston and I notice I'll give you some art or something.

I got art I been holding for mark and Fred too.

I think I lost the Fred one but it's in my sig.

I had the Gonz one there too but it might have gotten deleted.

I have that one right in my desk. I rarely see him tho. I definitely feel funny about chasing him down. Cuz I know I'd not want it if I was him and he was me.

Cuz every old lifer to me is equal in awesomeness imm we shouldn't come at each other like that. We should converse become friends then do an art trade.



It's a drawing of Jake bombing a hill. From Marks beautiful eulogy.

 Pretty sure marks filming with his laptop. The song starts. It was All of me. I live that song. Me and my kid would sing it to each other when I first arrived to help take care of her.

Jake bombs down the hill and they pass some birds.

So simple but incredibly beautiful.

It's one of the most beautiful most inspiring things I've ever seen.

Fuckin Jake looked so good on board. His style was the beez fuckin kneez. Jakes rolling silhouette was unmistakable just like Hasoi's is in the air or Tony doing a sad plant or mark doing a crazy Ollie.

To be honest Jake was a bigger influence on us Marblehead kids in the 80s than any pro in history.

Punk fuckin Rock. We all put t-shirt sleeves on our bald ass heads to be like the those original Boston crew guys.

He was the real fuckin deal. Definitely would be bummed on our shoe choice.
Plz stop killing each other

Can you explain how you painted it ? It looks sick !!!

thank you! just wanted to preface and say i didnt paint these properly. people suggest to use primer and a top coating but i ditched that.

what i did:
  • disassemble
    removed pivot cups
    strip the finish with sandpaper (theres an easier method to this, but forgot what chemical to use)
    used a brush to rid off the residue
    painters tape on pivot cup area and kingpin (if youre painting the hangers put em on the axel)
    lightly coat the first layer
    wait like 3-6 hours
    another layer
    let it sit for 24 hours (longer the better)

what i used:
  • 3M 80 grit sandpaper
    Premier Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Aerosol Spray Paint & Primer
