Some supplies for the dream girl board:

Boserio Mini Super Juice - 55mm (with help from the wheel thread)

HKD - Abec 7

Ace Tool (very stoked on this)

They really should have put the Allen & Phillips heads the other way around on that Ace tool. Makes no sense for them to be this way IMO. Other than that it seems pretty cool.

Agree, but I’ve found out via Slap that many people actually prefer phillips over allen😳 I have bought few skate tools that were useless as I don’t fuck with phillips.

Yeah, I have no idea why anyone would like to have Phillips heads on their hardware but it happens. Still the design IMO is bad as with Allen you don’t need to press down at all like you do with Phillips. With Allen you just need to counteract the spinning from twisting the nut which is easier with a longer lever. Pressing down on the Phillips head is easier with a longer shaft that doesn’t have a long lever at the end.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the 112, finally the price dropped here. Any comments?

Maybe because you can directly use an electric screwdriver to be lazy/save time ? I don't know if you can use such tool with an Allen head?

i just got the first edition Western Edition 'Painted Ladies' from FTC. I had the latest one but always preferred the colors on the original set. Same set some jabroni is trying to sell for $10k on Ebay, I paid $500 2 weeks ago deadstock from FTC.

Got those white AVE’s for $80. Also picked up the Levi’s skate “work pants.” They’re nice.

Same here but 95€... At least little cheaper than the usual 115€ that they're charging for them in Europe.

I've been skating phillips for the last year. Only because in my case they were cheaper.

It was a tough pill to swallow but I don't notice it anymore.

See what you mean about the tool, though. Doesn't bother me any (yet).

moonordie · « **Reply #3492 on:** August 27, 2019, 12:04:59 AM »

Some TNT AP and a Sour kidney bag.

Just ordered some OJ Keyframes for my cruiser board. I'm typically a Spitfire purist, but their cruiser wheels make it really hard to even ollie up a curb so I'm excited to give these a try.

Got these for $33 shipped off the DC site. Been wanting to try out the legacies and skate an all white shoe again

Just got this P9 shaped Polar x Iggy deck. I haven't skated a shaped board since they were all that was available so I'm excited to try it. It's going to be a few weeks because there's still life in my current deck.

Also decided to pull the trigger on some Reynold's G6 since all the vans rumors are going around. Definitely a really comfy and snug shoe but a lot thicker than what I'm used to skating.

AH hasn't really stoked me out in a while but that Cardiel board is a thing of beauty!

Been buying a lot of skate dvd's lately, been getting kind of obsessed. Saw this one and didn't even second guess it. Its been so hard to come across this one nowadays.

I took advantage of the Primitive $20 mystery boards. I have a bunch of cash-back rewards on my credit card that I never use, so it's as if Discover bought me the boards. They sent 3 Dragonball Z themed decks that I'll cover with spraypaint. At least they didn't send me Pickle Rick boards

Ugghhhh I ordered 3 too. Hoping for no dragon ball z bullshit but highly doubt that’s going to happen. What size did you get?

tom · « **Reply #3505 on:** August 28, 2019, 04:28:31 PM »

They're all 8x32. The shapes are good, and the graphics are printed on Generator boards, so they'll be fine. A little paint and I'll forget about the graphics

I don't understand caring enough to do anything other than just setting it up and skating it.
That's some kooky shit.

Yea I don’t get it either. It’s not the last skateboard you’re ever going to ride. But do whatever you want, it’s your shit.

I got those white aves. I really like them. There is no reason this shoe should cost $100 though.
