What’s Bobby Dekeyzers setup?
thunder 149 (i think)
jessup
quasi 8.25
54mm conical fulls
1/8th risers
When I asked someone that knows him they said he skates 147s and sometimes 148s, doing the Ishod top bushing thing with 147s.
thanks for the correction i’ll edit the post
Genuinely wondering, what do you do with this type of info? Do you try out a similar setup?
I am guilty of this, for sure.
Biggest ‘madness’ contributor: watching someone skate, and wanting to emulate. It is wack to type out/think/do, but yeah, there it is. Influenced.
As an example, I rarely get time to ‘really’ skate. It’s usually just a few minutes here and there, and generally something else is going on (kids, pets, partner). With that type of scenario, whatever I’m on doesn’t matter. The last few times out I’ve ridden a 4+ year old strangelove that has a graphic that makes me smile, ace trucks, and normal sized wheels. For just rolling around, this works great. I’m old and I’ll never break this, if the skate industry ceased and all of the gear was unavailable, I’d be able to skate longer than my body would last.
But then I see a Wade post of him skating flatground and I want 147s, perfect deck, small wheels. Or Puleo, or …Jacopo. BDK. Etc.
Changing one’s setups to mimic a pro’s is honestly pretty weird, doesn’t make sense. Bodies are different, and then the chasm between the levels ability cannot be overstated.
But yeah.
I know it’s kooky, but at some level, isn’t this how the skateboard industry works? People get psyched on someone’s skating and then are inspired to buy a graphic, a tshirt, a type of bearing?
Basically my entire time on slap could be summed up as: ‘which computer is the best for hacking’

Totally unrelated: what was gottwigs setup in that last reel he posted with the lazer
