Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[tom]

I’m not a big fan of Austyn, but I am a big fan of Dane Reynolds

Former jacket, button up shirt, and a couple pairs of prayer pants. I even got to meet Keith Morris while I was in Kingswell

Got a There mystery box. Ordered 8.5 and part of the reason is cause there has the wildest variation in WB of most brands that I see. My goal over the last year was to stop caring about shapes. Now my 2024 goal is to stop letting wheelbase mess with me.

Thought I could only skate 14.25. Am now skating a 14.4 wb 8.675 polar and loving it. Will I get sent a 14 wb marble or a 14.6 chandler? Either way I’m stoked. There is easily my favorite major distributed company (gay duh).

While wb def makes a difference for some tricks in finding I can just adjust how I skate and focus on different tricks with different wb and it’s actually been a blast. As I get older and my skill and pop diminish I’ve been having more fun skating gear that’s sorta difficult to skate. Instead of trying to go bigger and learn tons of new tricks it’s been great trying a setup that’s hard to skate and do my regular tricks/see what works for that board.

DLX is my favorite company too.

The only reason I care about wider wheelbase is that I don’t want to slip out on turns as easy.

Have fun! That’s an interesting take on wanting to skate MORE challenging gear in old age. Most people want to skate EASIER gear so they fall less, cause falling in old age sucks.

I got a Baker mystery box, and I’m pretty bummed. 8.5 with 14.5 wheelbase, smh.. if anyone has 8.5. BBS decks with shorter wheelbase I’d be down to trade, especially if you are in the city...

Were you not aware via the shape guide on the Baker site that that is the only wheelbase their 8.5 comes in?

They have the 8.475 shape which is a shorter wb and length than the usual 8.5 board, which may or may not work for you.

8.475 x 31.875 with 14.25 wb


Not that it really helps you right this minute, but that is the closest in size / shape and also Baker.

Of course there are quite a few others, DLX 8.5 blue eagle shape, the 917 8.5 board (same shape) and a few more I can't think of right this minute.

Homebase had this Ryan Lay deck in an 8.0” - couldn’t resist

That's the board I've been skating and I'm about to set up a freshie but I'm low key bummed about it because I've been loving the sci Fi so much

[jsettle]

With all the ishod 2 hype right now, seems all the ishod 1s are on sale. Was able to snag a pair lf the white/black/red leather ones for 40 bucks, along with some spitfire f4 radial 55.5 wheels...got the ishod 1s just for chilling in. I have a pair from when they first dropped and i like them

[big_kev_215]

Loaded up on Fastbreaks for next year too

[Made In China]

Christmas came late this year! Got the $100 There mystery box and 480 highs from Old Skull's sale.

[Uncle Flea]

Grabbed another Ben x metal x KTCM. Got the grasshopper shape I think it's called.

It'll be way easier to flip than the 9"

8.75 double drilled with a 14" wb. Maybe less? Thatd be cool to try.

I'm going to skate all 6 holes.

Pepper grip in my shit but I will say this.

I feel like perforations in the grip expose your board to wetness easier.

I barely got the board wet and it sounds like yuck.

The ole winter foot stain in all I can see for wet marks.

I been skating in cover. I just ate I'll shit in the filthy garage 30 minutes ago.

My dumb ass thought first person slides are siiiiiiiiick! Let's do one.... Boom Tripod everywhere.

Luckily my Obama phone survived

My daughter is turning 11 in a couple days and decided she was done riding one of my old setups and wants her own. I went on my local shop’s website and let her build out her own setup. 7.75 Zero deck with the 3 skulls with blood running down from the nose, venture trucks, 52mm spitfires, China bones, and shop hardware. She got a fresh pair of Vans old schools to go with it. She was hyped as fuck when she opened her gifts today.

She got some krooked grip with a bunch of flowers on it. Completely clashes with the zero graphic but the deck is blue on the top and the grip between the flowers is clear so it actually looks pretty dope. She is hyped on it so I’ll let it slide even though I’ll never ride anything but straight black.

I was browsing on my phone at 3:30AM in bed cause I couldn’t sleep and found some black/gum (fav colorway) eS Koston 1 One Nine 7 (OG fav shoe) for 50% off so I just jumped on that even though I don’t need them really.

Didn’t see anyone mention skating them here, let’s see how they feel when they arrive.

I saw the Evants for the first time ever in person and they look really good.

didn't purchase it, but won this in a techdeck Instagram giveaway over the holiday. Where you tag a friend. Me and my buddy agreed to split the decks. There were also a ton of techdecks. Loose ones and multipacks. too many.

size medium shirt that I'm not sure what to do with.
8.0 deck. Shape is actually perfect, but not wide enough to ride.
