Not the best couple of days so I let myself set this up. Took it out for a quick session and it feels great.
Girl Loveseat
Independent 149s, blue medium-hard bushings
51mm 99 Tablets
149s fit?
I didn’t get one cuz I felt like I’d have to set up my 159s. And I’m not beast/youthful.
The shape looks really fun.
Simon is the shit.
Sticker placement sick too
Thanks! Yeah, I put the 159s up to it and didn't like how it looked. It tapers to like 8.6 over the back truck. Part of my thinking is that if Chico is skating a 9" shaped with 149s then that is what is up. I also prefer 149s in general.
Thanks for reply.
Yeah I’ve had 2 set of Indy 149s and I just can’t get into em. And I hate that I can’t.
I can do marginally better on 159s. Doesn’t make sense.
5.8s and thunder 149s are ok as well.
149s were the wave of the last 10 years and it bummed me out I couldn’t stick with the times.
Set up looks fun!!
im gonna do thunder 149 ti when i set my loveseat up
@frozenindustries great taste my guy. real similar setup to what iwas thinking. gonna hold off on it for a while so just be sure to post your thoughts
I for sure want to hear how that set up skates. Really flip flopping on that or the polar football.
Thanks! I've gotten to skate it twice, so far so good. I was a little concerned about the short (13.875") wheelbase but it feels great and not at all cramped. If anything, I felt like I was rocketing a little less than usual. I do a lot of slappies and shove-it variations and it made those feel very effortless, in particular slappy crooks which got me feeling pretty juiced. I don't really flip my board much, so I can't really comment on that. Tried a couple heelflips and they felt no worse than on any other board.
The Crail wood feels good so far. I got a couple small pressure cracks already, but that happens super fast for me most of the time anyway. I'm curious to see how it holds up.
@OK, I'm sorry for my rant in the setup thread. FWIW I feel like the longer WB on the Polar (its like 14.375" or 14.5"?) would be weird. This (and my hating the last 14.5" that I set up) has me believing in the power of the short WB).
Also, @Kneebone, that Toy board is sick and I am super jealous! I tried to find that one a little ago but no dice.
