What gear are you most thankful for?

[munchbox]

Tried out a ton of new stuff this year in search of my perfect setup and I got to say switching to huge boards (9' plus) has made my skating at least 10x better. Looking back on what you tried this year, what gear are you the most stoked on?

 I'm thankful for Indys because as someone with truck madness, going back to Indys  from another truck feels like going home.

Agree. The best thing are the confused looks when you bust some flips and 180s. "Damn, I thought you were hurt." "Nah, I am just a pussy and fear for my ankle"

Deluxe making 8.12x31.38 decks with a 14” wheelbase. Been eyeing this Chocolate shape for a few years but once I saw a Krooked I picked it up and it’s the perfect shape for me.

chocolate shape with deluxe reliability. if they really wanted to have complete control over the industry, they could just make all the popular shapes and keep their current customer service and wood

same bro. main shape will be the orange eagle as long as its in production

What size were you riding prior? I went from 7.75 to 8.06, life changing. Now I'm thinking of going up to 8.125, 8.25 or even 8.5.

Where does such a unicorn even exist?

Deluxe shape and wood with average man proportions?

I just pop and flip the board better when it’s got a normal wheelbase and length

I’m not 6+ feet tall and want my legs spread like a cowboy to ride my board now

I’m thankful for this hockey deck I found, re learned tre flips and it feels good

I used to rock Jessup but I keep boards way too long to do that.

I went from 8 to 8.5. It was awesome. Had to get new trucks of course - 149’s. Now I’ve gone back down a bit to 8.375 with the 149’s.

Last summer they started doing maybe one or two boards a season. The one I have now is a Krooked Bobby Worrest. In the current DLX catalog TNT has an Anti Hero with the shape. I’ve also seen a Brian Anderson and a Busenitz but pretty sure they only do one per season. My local shop got this one in and I scooped it up right away. I’m 5’8 so I like a smaller wheelbase so it’s perfect for me. Im probably going to have the shop start special ordering them for me from now on because I’m ruined for anything else.

I’m with you but I’m going to say wrist guards. I’m old and a bit heavier thee days so slamming is a lot harder on my wrists. My 187 wrist guards are the one piece of protective gear I always wear.

I bet

The pop must be nice, always nice reliable and solid

And don’t even get me started on how it flips, your tricks gotta be too easy and comfortable to throw out and catch

Did you also get a deeper shape or one of the mellow ones?

i was riding an 8.38 but that and my big ass feet weren't meshing at all. still a relatively new skater so the switch didnt take anything away from me but i do think skating is 90% mental
