Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[bigdave]

I know it’s not necessary but I’ve always wanted a bearing press and finally got one.

When I worked in skating FKD was kind enough to give me a bearing press. In the 13ish years I didnt skate it sat in my basement and when I went and got it I was so damn glad I had it. theyre just super handy and nice to have.

[LebowskisRug]

I’ve had some Spitfires that were really tight to get the bearings into and the normal press onto the truck method can lightly damage a bearing. I buy more expensive bearings with the goal of making them last and my Swiss 6 have had 4 solid years so far so the press is a great investment overall

Just be an idiot like me and buy a 3-ton arbor press.

Goddamnit it.
Fucking conspiracy going on that leads me to buying indy 159s…
Thank you for your response!

[frontfootimpossible]

I somehow managed to get some sb dunks at retail and switching from blazer lows to dunks has been pretty jarring: stiffer, less board feel and less grippy. I guess thats why people like cupsoles?

The laces are also way more exposed and rip quite easily, yet the puffy laces in the correct color are way harder to come by, replacing with some random laces sounds shitty.

yeah i know I'm a crybaby and most people would be #blessed to get a pair of these elusive shoes. Anyone else have buyers remorse from buying dunks?

[Firebert]

I had buyer's remorse with dunks before I needed shoes that thick. Now, I wish I had kept them

Hahaha…as you know all too well I’ll be on here soon singing another sad song about how I can’t skate x sized stuff blah blah blah.
Buuuuut
Yeah this weekend gonna try and muscle up and acquire/skate the cast 159s.
The real conundrum has become mob or jessup, with vulcs.

Grabbed a set of the 52mm f4 classic fulls since I saw they weren’t in the latest drop. Been curious and wanted to get some in case they get scarce.

Recent ebay purchase........theres still good people out there

Some comically wide Scram 62mm wheels for this 80’s board I have. I love the Beach Bum. I don’t love that DLX scaled it up. Four more until I have to start getting the bigger size and cutting them down

161 hollow lights with 56mm 97a classics. I skate it almost as much as my regular setup. Some days I wind up skating only the Beach Bum. The only trick that doesn’t work for me on it is 360 flips

I’ve got a crap 360 flip. To go with my other crap tricks. Lately it occasionally works on really big boards, which is cool, because then it’s a crappy 360 flip on a gigantic board and it feels like it looks like it’s taking my total essence to make it go. But apparently I’d rather work on that instead of learning something new, or trying something else. Enough of my woe.
I’m so stoked on the commitment in this pic. It’s so dope. My favorite gear related pic I’ve seen lately.

Magic Sticky Hands sounds like a sexual thing...

Changing up my pants game for 2022 and got a pair of RVCA Camo Pants, that was probably holding my 360 flips from being Kalis level.

[munchbox]

stickers on an unskated wall hanger? cmon man

[chris.]

Tactics no less... that's certainly a choice.

Just got my first pair of adidas busenitz’s. Still rehabbing from an injury so I’ve only skated them once, but I was surprised at how roomy they are.

If they’re the reg busenitz and you’re only going to use them for skating. I would suggest putting a tiny amount of shoe goo on the Ollie area stitching. I had 5 pairs in the past, loved them but that stitching would shorten the service life by a good amount.
