Old Skull 9x33x14.65

[close]

If you did get one or more, when they arrive, I am curious to hear if it is actually 9 x 33 with 14.65 wb as the usual BBS boards of that size are 15 wb, or the shorter wheelbase versions are more like 32 and a bit long.

Curious anyway.

I measured it as 9x33.125x14.65"

Stoked to try it out as this is my first 9"

The pics (in the 9+ boards thread) look really good!!!

The slightly shorter wheelbase alone would make it so much more manageable for everything, given the orange eagle and other boards of similar dimensions all have 15" wheelbase, which just feels a bit too long for comfort for me anyway as a normal board, but great as a cruiser.

Just got some Thunder "Team Hollows", Basically the same thing as a hollow light but it has a taller cast base plate

just in case someone gets confused by this as the marketing can be misleading (just check the Thunder thread page 9 lol), the team hollows just come with the standard cast baseplates which are taller than forged. Not baseplates that are taller than cast baseplates

I only needed a sheet of grip tape (Miles) but then I saw they had Lil Smokies. I want to try Formula 4 and they come in the small size that I like (48 mm). Then I figured if I bought wheels I might order bearings as well so the Swiss Six Balls went into the cart as well. Then I saw they had Polar 93s in my size so I ended up buying them as well...

Got a magenta deck on sale.
7.875/31.25/14
Never tried them before and hope they are like Polar, coz it is also a bbs.

Should be good - usually a bit flatter through the middle with fairly normal kicks.

Guessing they are all back to the brown stain now as well, which is the usual, rather than whatever they were on for a minute when they couldn't get BBS wood.

You bought all that in one go??

[tom]

Over the past few weeks, but it all piled up in my living room until today when I finally had a chance to breathe and take a day off of work

I got this board through a friend who never skated it. 

I'm a huge fan of the original Workshop, colors are awesome. Definitely a wall hanger.

[BL0B]

if i was going to buy a bunch of shoes right now, it would probably look just like this.


hows the fit on those Last Resorts compared to Authentic highs? you get the same size in them?

I went tts (10.5) in both and they’re both a little roomy. The Last Resorts are narrower than the Crockett’s though. They’re both chiller shoes for me, so I’m not worried about them feeling too big to skate in. I’d still prefer them this way than too small if I eventually skate in either pair. I never tried on 10’s in either pair so I genuinely don’t know how they’d fit half a size down. Sometimes my feet pull a truck on me where shoes feel good half a size down in the shop, but feel too tight after a couple days of wearing/skating

Now that's a good find, definitely wall worthy.

KCDC got me with their 50% off sale....

[Mbrimson88]

Does second hand stuff count?

This was from almost a week ago, but I haven't had time to try any of it yet.


So I bought some second hand product from a guy I know and it arrived yesterday, which was pretty good timing.

All up a couple of shaped decks, a couple of sets of wide trucks, over half a dozen sets of wheels in different sizes and duros and some bearings.

I hadn't had a chance to set anything up yet but it is definitely going to be fun getting into it all and seeing what works with what and all that.

Polar Dane 1 9.75 deck
Heroin Mutant Egg 9.6 deck
Thunder 151 Lights
Venture 6.1 Team Editions
Spitfire Formula Four wheels in 52, 54, 56 and 58 mm
Mini logo wheels in 56 mm 95 duro and 58 mm 90 duro

Just got the Oski 57mm radials. Never had wheels this fat before and can't wait to put them on my new transition setup

I used to love getting anything over 56mm for the extra width and the bigger wheels would be so good (and still are).

They last longer and as they wear down, really have that nice shape to them, wider profile which just worked really well for me and I mostly skate transition so they were perfect.

Picked up some Radial Fulls in the 56mm non-weed colourway (I smoke all the time but pot stuff on just about anything is too cringe for me to support). Shout out to The Drive Skate Shop in East Van 👍
