The Set-up Thread

[Xen]

8.9" Heroin Fried Egg 3 (31.5"x14.375"WB 6.25" tail)
MOB
149 Thunder ti (100a rebuild kit bushings)
BONES STF V1s PJs 50mm or less I'm guessing
Swiss Six
7/8" Allen bolts w/low profile nutters

Rowan 2s (getting a second wind with these, excellent feeling shoe)

2nd egg (hated my first, the 9.5 heroin symmetrical one), surprisingly not gross to look down on and super comfortable; haven't lost any tricks and scoopy tricks are much easier. Short tail took (is taking) a bit to get used to for some tricks and I do find myself using the nose for some tail tricks (trying to not do that). They seem to be selling out fast so nabbed another JIC.

Had 8.5 slappy lights on it but just felt a bit sluggish; going to try some royals as I'm still wheelbiting with these thunders/hard bushings and with ~52mm wheels it's slooow going.

Looks a beauty. Is it the 8.25ct (shorter one) or the standard 8.25?

No clue, tried to find info regarding dims and couldn't find anything more than 8.25 x 32 and I'm not even sure about it

Either way it looks brilliant. Been loving wknd graphics lately. Enjoy

I found a perfect sticker for it too, you'd barely know it was there.

Great to see some Loopholes in here, big fan of both the Teardrop and square cuts. I stocked up on the old formula, but if/when I run out I'll give the new ones a try.

It’s a pity that the old formula is no longer being produced, great wheels and shapes! I had a set about two years ago and had missed them so I searched around. They’re the wheels I’ve gotten the most questions on as they look fantastic.

Skateworks still has a decent stash of NFGs in stock if anyone else is interested in trying a no longer made but well like urethane formula, although they are starting to get down to bigger sizes only.

Trying to use my old gear before buying new stuff. So set up this 8.5 Pizza I got for $30 in 2022.

Indy 159 Hollow
Spitfire LIF 55mm
Bones Swiss 6
Pepper Grip
Shorty’s Hardware
Court Purple SB Dunks



The deck is actually great. It’s a shovel shape, kinda reminds me of a slightly longer/mellower FA one. Wish there was a way to figure out if anyone else uses this shape. Here’s the serial number for another one.

Never had a Pizza but they I'm fairly certain the standard PS Stix 8.5 is what they're using, at least in 2022. WKND, Quasi and Strangelove all use/used it. I'm using past tense because my perception is that most brands have started to offer 8.25-8.5 in a couple different shapes to offer something for everybody. When those brands only had one 8.5 shape in the line, it was all the same 8.5 PS Stix that you're riding.

Thanks! I’ll have to check out those brands.

I've been told you can email PS with a shape code and they can tell you what currently uses that shape.

The ps stix 8.5 x 32.125 x 14.25 square board is my favorite shape. I’ve skated so many in a row. I still have a couple on ice but I’m fucking with my formula and skating a more rounded but similar dimension fa 8.5 x 31.9 x 14.25 after skating a shovel square hockey with same dimensions that I thought would be square as well. I don’t skate enough to be doing this to myself but here I am. I liked the graphic though.

Gx1000 used to make a similar one but I’m not sure if they use ps stix anymore. Quasi prototype is the best and comes in that size and snack makes a real similar shape and is kind of the coolest brand in my head.

Minus represent! Great looking setup.

[chillclinton87]

Great looking setup indeed. also cool it is a glick board, love his skating!

i can't see though is that texture on the bottom ply or just in the original artwork used- looking like some gritty type of paper. also makes it look pretty cool.

have fun widdit!

[swongolianbbq]

Still a lot of gravel everywhere here in Alaska, the mud and puddles are getting better though. Probably skated about ten days so far. Got another Christmas complete so my lazy ass doesn't have to set up another board if one breaks, when we finally clear out the skatepark.. it's still under a few feet of snow. I've just been skating my setup with the conical full chargers, ceramics, hardcore grip and flight deck so far cause it's indestructible and rolls over crap well

It's just the artwork, it's not actually embossed.

I've been meaning to pick up one of these Caltrain shop decks for a minute. Still generator wood?

Also I've always setup softer top bushing sand harder bottom bushings. Any reason you like the opposite?

Not sure of the manufacturer but they're solid boards, I'm really used to this shape at this point.

Also not sure if my conceptualization of how bushing assemblies work is completely accurate but I think the bottom bushing is the one that is most responsible for the feeling of the turn since it's what you have all your body weight compressing when you are riding, so that's the one I make softer because I want some nimbleness to my turn while using the hard top bushing to keep it rigid at the deeper points of the turn to prevent wheelbiting with these big ass wheels and probably too small risers
