Finally decided to get some bones swiss bearings. I have been riding bronson g3’s which I have no problems with. I am going to pair up the swiss with some 54mm formula 99x widecuts that I just bought as well.

[white guy in a durag]

Black Friday fucked me up. Got a pair of blazers and 4 Quasi Proto IIs (8.5) for like 40 bucks each.

[goodatmeth]

Just broke up with formula fours and got the bones decenzo X99 52mm.
And now to some weird new affair with crailtap, chocolate 8.25 twin and my first lakais ever. Cambridge

Cambridge are solid, only lakai I ever had. Wore out on me kinda quick but I used to skate regular mob back then so thats prob why, def one of the better looking lakais in my opinion

I hear you, I just picked up some Royals,  set em up but haven’t skated them yet….they feel good just standing on them but time will tell

[skateboardingenthusiast]

kept slipping out of pinchy grinds on worn down 52mm classics. got 53mm conicals and they seriously help out with staying pinched. they made my setup feel quite noticeably heavier though, which i actuallynliked. more weight to throw around feels nice compared to light boards that feel like the wind could take it.

big square wheels sound better upon impact to me compared to smaller round wheel. the sound of the wider contact patch reverberates when it hits the ground. super satisfying.

[TastyBurrito]

Local skateshop had a brown nylon AH18 Eagle hat for $12. So yea, I copped it.

[Paco Supreme]

I’ve spent so much this Black Friday weekend

5 boards, 6 9 pairs of slip cups (thank you @EmericaTM for the sale), couple t shirts

I need to skate more than buy things from now until next November 

[Pasta Monster]

I’m on the fence about setting up the John Lucero Krooked deck, but got a set of 58 mm Classics for it. Also, my decade-long curiosity about Swiss Ceramics is going to come to an end.

One day I'll get these bearings as well, but they cost as much as my rent right now. Waiting for your review!

Hell yeah Im gonna skate em haha, I do have like 4-5 shoes on ice too so I'll probably wear them as chillers for a while until they're up to bat. Maybe wear em if Im gonna get a clip. Where did you get the fogs? I hear people say that shops have those less sought after colorways but my local (bluetile SC) never seem to have them and when they do they do first come first serve and kooks that don't skate line up all night long and take em all.

damn, i am in europe and by now it is quite easy to get them through a shop.....most shops have dunks online now and they were even part of the black friday discounts now too. but i just try to keep my eyes open wich means spending too much time online 

i skated mine for the first time yesterday and had a blast, the suede makes them fit real nice.

Went full new Youtuber on the setup!

JK, I wish the Chocolate twins had a slightly longer WB and I'd try one.

Do you find them "steep"? I keep hearing the kicks are super steep but to me it just looks like more fingers of flat but the same overall angle.

Nice, got 7 pairs of the grey ones, 50% of was fantastic

Is not steep at all, at least not for me. Also is on the flat side which is a big plus for me.

[LebowskisRug]

Thanks, I love flat concave

Got those 2x 8.5 Element Phil Z decks today and they are "Built by BBS" plus have identical specs to the 8.5 Black Labels I've had.
I loved those, so if they're using the same mold for 8.5 at Element, as well as Black Label (and other brands I'm sure) then for $25 (sale still happening at the big Z) I'd recommend scooping up a deck or two.

These ones?

https://www.zumiez.com/element-zwijsen-earth-rev-8-5-skateboard-deck.html

The good thing there is they do show the tops of them in images, which should help anyone see if they have "Built by BBS" in the top line, or just the board size and other generic info from the one made in China.

* Seems like it is the only BBS 8.5 from those boards I brought up too.

The two of those I got a while back, also on a super good sale here in AU were the best concave and everything for me, a little more on the mellow side than the Black Label and a few other BBS boards in those same dimensions I have bought before and after.

On one hand I would say get all of those ones while you can, as they work out cheaper to buy and blank than actually buying the blanks to start with, but for some people, that would be more trouble than it is worth.

The ones I have blanked really well.  Nice stains too.

Yes, those ones! Wanted to add my confirmation for any other US pals looking to still score some quality decks for an affordable price OR were also skeptical of BBS vs China vs PS vs Clutch, etc. woodshop versions some brands have had to alternate to during Covid.

These two I got do not have the divot/circle indent that most BBS boards tend to use, but do not always. Regardless, the shape, concave, tail/nose "hips" all look like other BBS I have, so I'm happy. I got natural wood stain and orange for the tops!

That Phil Z graphic is one of the more inoffensive ones from Element I've seen, so no need to blank for me. Happy to skate them as is

Why not? It’s what the threads here for, right?

- 144 Indy Hollow
- Walker Flocked 8.38 (white dipped bird pattern stamp, red to blue fade)
- Bones x99 52mm v1 Gustavo wheels
- Indy Blue bushings
- Indy Black bushings
- Walker Zen 8.38 from last summer drop (huge Black Friday sale)

What’s the result of the spending spree?
- gave away x99 to friend as early Christmas present. Went back to x97.
- Black bushings too hard, not using
- Blue Bushing too hard, not using
- hollows were too loud, so added “Liquid Nails” type epoxy to bottom opening of kingpin under truck. Seems to help deaden high pitchy-ness
- waiting for zen board to arrive so it can be in the closet as backup for a few months from now.

This is totally ridiculous and crazy. But I applaud this kind of mad sensibility with all my heart.

[DarkPools]

How are the hollows loud?? Are you referring to how they grind or something else?

I've skated a few hollow Indys and never experienced this high pitch sound you are talking about @JM

[Uncle Flea]

I got 6.1s on the way.

9" Ben Raybourn. Has a 14.25 wb I think. I'm pretty sure I searched Orchard with the key words 14.25 and boom there it was.

I am beyond stoked.

When those Spit Beat downs drop I'm going to cop a set in each size.

My hope is a pro will try the 66.6 and be like yo! That's my joint that's my ham salad. Satanic pro model plz. We can keep them in regular rotation so I'll never go speed deprived again.

We really are finally breaking new ground in popular skatebloarding.
