The Set-up Thread

I figure if it worked for me in the 90s, why wouldn't it work for me now



Girl Rick Howard reissue 7.75
venture lows
spitfire classics 5
bones reds
Gilbert Highs

haven't really put any time on it yet.  the wheelbase feels a little tight, but the width feels fine, and its flat as hell.  not looking forward to trying to source more 7.75s if it ends up working out

spitfire classics 5 have always been some of my favorite wheels

It's really good but has more concave that the budget one, lower kicks than most dwindle decks.

Some of the boards on the last 2 pages are smaller than on the first 2 pages. That means Slap gear preferences have gone full circle.

I was talking to a friend the other day and he pointed out that if you watch Welsh's old footage it just wouldn't look right with a modern sized board and I'd agree.

Original Curb Killer signed by Ira and the Fosman that used to be a wallhanger. Haven't skated a round tail for quite some time, but it's a nice change of pace. It feels very nimble compared to the Heroin Mutant I was skating before this, although the tail is a bit on the small side. The new symmetrical ones seem to have specs more to my liking, so I ordered one of those if I ever feel the need for a round tail again.

They used to be done by PrimeLA but I think they're being pressed by Clutch nowadays. Never had a problem with Clutch before. So you should be good.

Close to Christmas complete:

I tried to go back to 99’s and immediately went back the 93’s.  For everything I skate they are perfect.

Been trying to do more flatground/ledge lately. Egg shapes aren't really my thing but I keep going back to them for some reason.
