Where did it get jacked

[YungJugg]

Redhook-Gowanus area, sorta near that micro St Mary’s skatepark.

[Yesterdays-pop]

Everyday a guy in Brooklyn gets drunk or goes to the store and forgets his board. Just go looking around for a new one.

Appreciate it dude! I’m not expecting to ever see it again but figured I might as well put the beacon out in case any NYers see an orange striped board cruisin around.

[jay_nev]

 sorry to hear Yung. Pretty one-of-a-kind, too, with that orange striped grip. Best of luck recovering

😕 Tough hit man.. and after seeing that picture of it with the little diy thingy. it's obvious you gave it a good life.

[cucktard]

Someone asked me to post my cruiser that is amazing for slappies on another thread, so I thought I’d share it here too

Black Label Auby Taylor
Indy 169s (not sure what stage, pretty old)
Powell Ratbones
Reds





The Ratbones make it ride up curbs like a monster truck going over Honda civics.

It had rails too, but they ripped out on some crusty curbs.

[jtrpma]

Siiiiick!

Grip job is Good too

[shingles]

New favourite whip! Unfortunately its not available anymore, but I still have 2 of them left.
Anybody know a similar shape? Or does BL use the shape on a different board?

that is such a good deck. I had to hang it up on the wall before it got too trashed. There's still lots left in australia...was thinking about getting another one and re-drilling for shorter wheelbase

[animalflesh]

Love it

Scram 9.5 shape with 14.25 wheelbase
Ace 55 with no bottom washer and 1/8 risers
54mm classics
Shitty old Bronsons

Edit: Classics not lock-ins

[jakeumms]

^Dope. It also may just be a wide angle lens but it looks like you're dwarfing that massive board.

What do you prefer about no bottom washers on the 55? Haven’t tried that.

[GBLange]

Definitely did NOT need this, but here we are....

Primitive 10" X 33.25" X 14.5"
7.1" Nose and Tail
Ace 66's
Ricta Clouds 52mm
Mini Logo bearings
Indy Hardware (the fucking worst)

i almost bought this board when it was on sale on the primitive site..but then i don't hv trucks that is wide enough for this board

[Slugboi22]

Thanks everyone for the feedback! The thing is only 31.5 so it’s nice and squirrelly just how i like my big boards.
Jake: I’m 6’3” so a lot of things are dwarfed for me. Pretty much anything under 32 seems very short
Jugg: honestly started doing it when I rode a friends board without them. I feel like it gives me a deeper carve but it might just be all in my head.

[jay_nev]

Just picked up another Prime S5 shape. The shape is awesome, wheelbase is 14.25. Never thought I’d like it so much as to stock up for later. First time for everything.

SoCal still has a few. 

That taper down to 8.5" over the rear trucks? what are you running it with. need pic +top pic

[jay_nev]

Chocolate Couch 9.25 32 13.875
159
F4 Conical Full 99a 55mm
Swiss Six

Did not expect to love this board so much, a friend of mine put me onto the shape. Now I’m stressing that I won’t be able to replace this one already, seem to be gone in Aus. Doesn’t feel short at all, and expect to hate this thing in the bowls but it’s pretty much perfect, can’t explain why.

missed this. texasplant your setups are sick. i want to ride this and see how it feels, like for 20 minutes or so. hate that, so much to try. including that 10' primitive villani egg, damn thats a pretty set up. but ace 66 too big than i'd wanna ride as a main setup i think, 55 yes i need to try those too!

whats the truck bolts width of deck?

[BobbyPshew]

I'm 6'4" with size 13 feet and I can only skate well on 7.75" boards.
Wider boards feel like dead weight and slow tre flips suck.

I run 169 Indys and they fit flush across the board. Does taper a bit over the back but not too much. Outside that my shits vanilla, Lock In Spits, some cheap Indy bearings and Jessup.

nice! Yeah nose is pointy and didn’t realize only 31.375” long. Kinda like a Dane 1 but not as wide and 1/8” longer wb

Just posting to say I’m really enjoying my chocolate couch shape; does everything I want it to do without feeling overly bulky. Film trucks are still breaking in, wondering if I should tighten them a turn or so🤔

[GBLange]

Always wanted to try the chocolate couch shape.. Our local distributer only orders the popsicle shape.. Anything above 8.38/8.5 is pretty hard to come by..

Polar Boserio - Dane 1 shape
Indy 159
F4 53 101
Bones Swiss 6

Only got to spend a few minutes riding as spent most of my time chasing my 2 year old today but the short wheel base is fun so far, just need to get used to it.
