Mad fucking heat from BL

As well as a orange stain and grey dip version.

I'm in pain as I don't have any practical reason to buy these.

I feel you. I’ve been drooling over the orange stain. Don’t need it but if the tails a manageable size I’m getting it. Speaking of tail size, anyone know what it is? It’s Johns old Man Van shape.

Looks great. Would love to try a label but the WB is too big on shaped boards.

@Big Baby Jesus I generally try to avoid anything over 14.5 but there are exceptions. Always rode the Assault Winsor decks (80s shape was a 15” and his regular was a 15.5”) and I’m riding a Scram now that’s 15”.


Although 14.25-14.5 is my sweet spot.

Woah that looks wild and dangerous. And I love your grip job there. Is that setup for curb demolishing?

Thanks. It’s an all around board. All of mine are. That said I’m old so it’s mostly flat, curbs, and mini.

This is sick, I LOVE punk points. I wish more people skated them, but I get it since it's a credit card nightmare.

never skated one, i don't see the upside, i guess it might be less drag on wallrides but then again i'd go with a shorter but more round nose.

got me a sausage skates egg deck from @FrozenIndustries a while back and just set it up. It's a 9 at center point, wide tail, very tapered nose. I think 32" length. pretty long wheel base too. I was told it's the same shape/size/mold as a Cardiel egg. Threw a set of hollow indy 159s with some bones 56 and bones Swiss super 6. The thing screams and is surprisingly responsive to the few heelfleeps and shoveits I've tried. It's pretty poppy too. I wasn't really expecting to like it all that much, but out of the 3 decks I tried this week (orchard gangemi m2 8.5, toy football) I've enjoyed this one the most so far. Figure it'll be good for schlapping around and whatever.

lets see that quiver! Sounds good

The other ones aren't big boards, but they're in the photo anyways!
that middle set up is the 9" sausage 
14.75 WB
56 Bones STF
Swiss 6
Jessup leftovers

I've skated it once in a parking lot (where I always skate) and it's responsive and fun. I'm not sure how good the wood is though, I feel like the tail might get soggy or popped out kind of fast already. Going from 8.63 to 9 isn't as big a jump as going from 8.63 to an 8.25 as far as I how I like to skate. This makes me want to maybe jump to something just a hair over 9.

on a side note..how bad was it getting foot tattoos? i got my arms and belly for reference. it seems like its straight onto bone with the foot tat

Belly was my first tattoo and the dude had a heavy hand. I've got shit from hip to hip as well. Big rib piece, both arms sleeved. Random leg stuff and a big frontal leg piece from instep to mid thigh. Out of all of them, excluding the forearms, the feet were possibly the least painful. Especially the toes. They were nervy, like my man had to clamp his weight down on the foot because it was involuntarily jumping, but it didn't hurt much

Honestly it's one of those shapes that don't have any advantages, but they're just fun to ride.

I ran a couple of the original versions of these back in the day & remember loving them, but this shape is def not THAT one. Still, the nostalgia for that graphic is creating a strong pull, so, if you'll forgive me, I will be exiting this thread immediately so as not to spend money on more closet clogging wood laminate.
Somebody buy this thang & post a clip riding it for me, eh?

Getting myself some risers after a nasty wheelbite Slam the other day. Anyone tried 1/4 inch risers?

Riding indy ti's & 55mm wheels right now, wondering if 1/8 risers is enough

[animalflesh]

I’ve always ridden 1/4 risers even when I skated 56mm wheels

Love the extra room to turn and ollies are big and fat

1/8" risers will put you at 55.5ish (slightly over) so you should be alright. If your wheels are a high 90 duro you should be fine but ya know wax them wells. If you've got cruiser wheels then maybe go with 1/4" just to be safe.

Height is why I am using the STD indy baseplate with Ti hangers for right now until i switch back to Ace.

Major shoutout for that Kilroy grip job.

I can't ride punk points when I still like to flip my board.
Once sliced half my leg open due to a badly caught heelflip ^^

But killer shape mate.
