Alltimers team board i had on ice for awhile, 8.5 14.5
- Indy 149s, stock bushings
- New 53 mm f4 conical fulls
Quasi proto, 8.5 14.25
- Krux K5s, stock bushings, 8.5 (they're alright. Can't decide if I like them loose or a little cranked)
-The same model F4s but burned down
Very sick
Which one do you prefer?
Thanks man
I like the krux a lot more than I thought. They tilt a lot before they turn, they're light with a quick pol and quasi's high wide kicks which makes landing things and just getting out of slides and off coping easier. I can really bash a front nose or nollie back tail in on a curb with a real light touch. Real fun set up for flat and curbs, especially learning new tricks
As a taller guy who's been skating 14.5s w Indys for like 8 years, with a month long break for thunders once, I always come back to the Indys though. I can just get the board 'up' in the air more consistently, and I have an easier time on ledges. I think it's just the length of my legs and the depth you get popping indys.
Something else is that I have an easy time getting into a back tail on the krux setup and a hard time locking in my nose slides, and my indy set up is the opposite. It's a thing I never really thought about until recently getting those down
