Huf Dylans for $20 at Ross. I slapped myself with the shoes this morning upon waking up to make sure it was real. Half size lower than my norm but I'm hoping they'll stretch since vulcs usually end up feeling floppy.

Hell of a find!

Grabbed some of the new Carpet Co. drop and a deck from the new Quasi drop

What did you grab from the new carpet co. drop. I'm sitting on multiple unskated decks but know I'll kick myself if I don't get a deck in time.

Didn't grab any decks, grabbed the mis print shirt, turnstile shirt, both sock offerings

If you are grabbing a deck you should act soon , their insta story said they were almost out

Thanks, yea I saw them and just grabbed them. One of the better colorways in this shoe for sure.

Not sure if its cause I tried different grip than I usually do when I rode these but the grip of these soles didn't feel all that grippy. They also got soft and flimsy fast


They feel like they will be floppy pretty quick, but they do feel nice. Comfy and light. Coming from mainly vans they arent too much stiffer for sure. Grip seems ok.


Just grabbed one of these. Had the bigger polar sling for a while but this smaller one will get in the way less.

just put some gamechanger footprint insoles into some Nike Dunk SB mids. Not sure if I've just always had flat feet, but its a pretty strange feeling having these in my shoes. I can't even wear Adidas shoes like the Campus ADV because they are too skinny, but shoes like the Dunk and Blazer has always worked well for me.

anyone notice any benefits from these insoles? curious to skate with them later

I've got some, but I have mid-high arches so the FP 5mm flat insoles work a lot better for me.

Came up on this OG world setup from around 1996-97. One of the first or second graphics to ever feature the 'devil man' character. Complete with Tracker 'Tony hawk' signature trucks, 59.5 mm 'demon seed' Spitfire wheels, and a set of Pig 'high octane' bearings. Paid $130 for it. Mad hyped!

One of my homies has these and I'm jealous. They look so nice after they've been skated a little.

I'm in the process of experimenting with setups and my wallet's taking a hit big time:

52mm Lock Ins


Ace 44


Big Balls (excited to give these a whirl)


Just cuz


I also just picked up a 8.25 deck from a tiny local company. Really excited to set it up.

Found them through Google shopping and ended up in a website called sneak-a-venue.com
At the end I paid 68€ with shipping.

While we’re on topic, how long your insoles last usually? I just got my first pair of fp elite insoles and those seems to mush out very fast...

For kingfoams, my rule of thumb is 8-10 months for comfort, up to a year if you don’t mind a little discomfort at times. I’ve had a set in my work boots for a year that I wear 10 hours a day 5 days a week and they’ve only just started packing out in the arch

probably the most disgusting looking board i've ever had, but the shape was too good, and i got it for cheap. it's 8.625 by 32 with a 14.38 wheelbase, has a big nose and a pretty pointy tail. very fun.

Grabbed the Earth Sucks tee and the Jumbo Hit Boi deck for the wall. Love how they screened the shops name I bought them from on the top.

So I get what everyone means with bronsons now. (Raws) At first they were great like for 3-4 months then they fucking locked up. One after the other. I was bummed but not too much. I only spent 8 bucks on them during an unintentional sale online around Xmas, if anyone remembers that. Still pissed though.

Swapped them with red indys and those keep going strong. Anyways got some bones reds and also just got these f4s for $25 that I couldn't pass up. Fuck me and fuck zumiez haha

It's still the one gear purchase I get salty about. Those things (had the G3's) are utter shit. My local was out of Reds and it was either G3's or Ceramics. Dude assured me they were above board and I had never really looked into them (this was a few years ago). A week until they squeaked horribly and then about a week later started locking up. Popped the shields and a few races were completely shattered. Fuck those things.

Fuck Bronson, I had the G3 and they all locked up in 4 days. Then popped out the shields and got 2 extra days from them until they were completely fucked up.
