is going from an 8.5 to 8.38 gonna fuck me up or naw?

No

I bounce between these two often and it’s not an issue

Not technically for me, but stoked on them. I finished grad school last week, and I wanted to thank my two really close friends in the program for all of the help and support (and honestly, guidance) they gave me. One of them used to skate a bit and the other was always receptive when we'd chat about skating. As a lil graduation thank you, I harvested/rebuilt some of my old trucks and hardware and got some other stuff to fill in the blank.


Pink:
SkateSupply Blank (8.375)
Thunder 149 Hollow w/ new fresh bushings and hardware
Sptifire F4 Conical Full 53mm 99a
Bones Reds

Green:
SkateSupply Blank (8.25)
Thunder 148 w/ new fresh bushings
Sptifire F4 Conical Full 53mm 99a
Bones Reds

I've never really skated blanks before this, but after setting these up, I am super stoked on how they look. I have one more deck ready to go for myself but after that I might try a blank or two. They look super clean set up.

Congratulations on completing your program! That is super nice and thoughtful of you to give them to your peers.  What is the discipline are you in?

Thank you! I’m in architecture. Doing my greatest Alexis Sablone cosplay, with a significantly worse level of skating. And if anything, getting them setups is a selfish move, cuz it means they have to come skate with me at least once, haha.

Not selfish at all IMO. If they're receptive to skating then it's actually really cool that you gifted them setups. Congrats on finishing grad school and I hope your homies start skating with you.

Looks a beauty. Is it the 8.25ct (shorter one) or the standard 8.25?

For what I found online is the CT which explains why I don't like it that much.

[Nth syd bear]

@moonordie yeh pretty sure that Trevor Thompson boards are usually ct shape

I've eyed those since Buttfart recommend them as alternative to G028 IF I recall correctly
Haven’t acquired one yet as im skating 8's lately.   What dont u like about it? Too short?

[moonordie]

Nose is way too steep (Viagra like) and also the shortness of the board as you mentioned. Also never been a fan of PS. Apparently this board checks all the lousy boxes in my book 😅

Damn, sorry to hear it wasn't for you. I love the CT shape. Had a couple of the Tom K Solid Snake decks and thought they were perfect (strangely on aces which makes the wb even smaller - didn't work for me when I was on thunders).

I am average to shorter height though with tiny feet so maybe it just works because of that!
