10.5 shoe, 6ft tall.  I've had a couple Winkowski 10" boards but I skated 169s on them.  The 215's make it look huge

So, the tensor ATG's I was riding were great. 10/10 would definitely buy again. I did some of my best skating last year and I think it's partially do to those trucks. The Losers boards I was riding most of last year (which were made by Sk8factory) were also a perfect shape. While my last board still had a lot of life in it, I decided to fuck up a perfectly good thing a switch up my setup for no real reason by getting new trucks and switching shapes.

8.25 deck BBS
Thunder 148s
Satori 53 101a
Bones swiss
DRKRM grip



The Orange Label Dunk mids I'm riding are counterfeit. It's fucking shame Nike doesn't keep these basic colors in rotation. This is my second time ordering fake dunks, and the last ones, dunk Hi, were mostly fine. The toe/sole flick area just wore out fast. The rubber sole was softer than usual. These are way better. The soles are fine, and the upper is more durable than the last pair and again, the last pair weren't bad, just ok.

Awesome setup! ATL represent! I must try satori wheels. And for people looking for Replica Dunks I recommend searching on Replica Sub Reddits for Dunks. A great one is r/fashionreps and r/repsneakers. The shoes might be a bit expensive (near $115) however they look VERY similar to the real dunks.

[close]

115 for a replica? How much are dunks usually?

[close]

Lows are $100, mids I think are $110-115 and highs are like $115-120. The counterfeit price has gone up because they realize nobody can buy for retail nowadays. Kinda weird. I’d never pay a retail price for counterfeit shoes

[close]

That's mad.

I haven't been paying attention to this stuff. So how much is a legit dunk ?

Those are the retail prices for legit dunks haha

New setup except for the trucks and bearings. Getting back into it after about 1.5 years off.

Anti hero 9.0
Indy 169 titanium
Bones stf 99a v5 53mm
Random bearings
Jessup grip

Still waiting on harder bushings and new bearings to arrive.

In a world of smaller boards and shortening wheelbases, this one stands out as a good solid ride, 9 x 33 x 15 wb is so much fun!

Maybe I’ll have better luck tomorrow. Hope the other surf shape I saw is still available. The 97a F4’s were able to ride smoothly through the roughest ground at the spot I skate everyday, but they’re not so soft that they can’t slide. Highly recommend

What the shit? Did your board shoot out into the street and under a bus?

[tom]

Broke my regular board on a frontside flip. Surf board was on a flatground ollie one foot. Lesson learned there. If you add the age of both together though you’d get an average of 3 weeks of use out of each

It feels great to step on something so stable after taking a big break. Before this board I was riding mostly 8.5. this size definitely feels more natural to me.

That was $190 down the drain real quick.

Glurmpz has four broken decks in the last short while, or more?

Cross post from The big boy thread

Dane 1 Xmas sale bargain
Ace 55
56 slime balls 99
RAD mag sticker

Rowley Rapidweld ( although currently mostly skating Crockett hi which are ace )

Not crazy on the wheel / deck colour clash but 20 bucks off the deck was too much of a bargain.

Haven’t skated a Dane 1 for over a year but absolutely loved the first session today. It flips so well and skates way narrower than 9.75 in a good way. Perfect concave for me compared to the Tired I’ve just “reTired” which felt too steep.

First Dane 1 on aces (last one was on thunders) felt perfect and not squirelly at all. In love!

You flip this jawn?! That's fucking doap bro. Like jus kickflips or you gettin tech on the beast, like sum switch tre or nollie heels. Whatever tho it's fuckin rad you can flip that.

[Jory4]

I’m old and not tech so regular kick and heel flips, varial flips and as close to tre flips as I can get. To be fair I learnt varial flips in 1990 on a 9.5 world vallely so guess I’m used to it

Honestly it flips well for its size and better than most other shapes I’ve tried. Maybe it’s the short wheelbase.

Welcome! How are you liking those Mag Light ATG's with Bones bushings? I've got a set for an upcoming brand new complete and am considering putting a hard Bones bushing as the bottom one. Looks like you took out your bottom bushing cup, did that affect the geometry/turn of the truck or are the bones bushings taller than the standard Tensor ones, thus making up for that?

[DarthDingusMaximus]

Dam that's beautiful. Defo update when you can on how it skates

[close]

As far as the wood goes, it feels great. I’ve really only skated Generator, PS Stix, and one China Wood (Evisen). I just did some kickflips, full cabs, pop-shoves and s/w shoves to test it out.
The geometry is taking me getting used to, but the pop feels great when it happens.

I’m coming off of skating ventures, I might need to throw them on here to extend the wheelbase (is that right)? I was getting ghost pops on my regular shuvs but actually popping my switch shuvs. So somethings work and some don’t so far. Anyways. I recommend trying this board if you want to try something new, but maybe not if you’re used to skating much smaller noses or tails. There’s a lot of fingers of flat on these so it takes a bit of effort for me and my indys.

[close]

Sounds great

Yep ventures would push the wheel base out..

[close]

Not sure if anyone cares anymore, but with regard to these Orchard decks, IMO they fuckin rule. After several hours, no complaints. The wood has amazing pop, and it feels like it's going to stay that way. In my mind the longer nose and tail do actually aid with nose/tail slides. I'm considering buying another. Pleasantly surprised by everything.

Hows the p9 feel after riding the surf?

What trucks you guys riding the P9 on?

I'm on thunder cast 149 and I love it but every one swears Ace 44 is where it's at

[tom]

More like a “traditional” board. I really like the stubiness and cut of the surf shape, but was hesitant to get another one after how quickly I broke it. Figured I’d try the p9 and revisit the surf shape sometime later(probably 2 weeks if I’m gonna be honest with myself)

I have 44’s. I skated Thunders from 2005-the start of the pandemic. Switched to ACE thinking it was only temporary because of the gear shortage, but I wound up liking them

I'm starting to thinking I'm the only person the P9 on thunders. I do like it but I'm definitely gonna try ace as soon as I get some cash.
