Title: Best of The Set-up Thread
Post by: FrozenIndustries on October 11, 2021, 01:36:03 PM
I am constantly bookmarking people's boards in the set-up thread, the egg thread, etc. to revisit and enjoy. Anyone else do this?

Some of you have great taste and need to be shouted out. Here are a few of my favorites:

@Fifty8mm your set-ups are always sick. I wish I would have gotten this board. This is the first post on here I ever bookmarked.

DOA 8.38 mellow but not flat. Jessup all black
Bronze Allen hardware but they put a phillips one for the Bronze colored one. must have been smoking hella weed when they packed it.
FTC Ventures 5.8 with Riptide pivot cups.
Loophole 54s first run. Black Panther ceramic bearings. They roll really fucking smooth.

Switching between Blazer mids and the Lost Ark bruins

@Nth syd bear I basically just copy this all the time but with a loveseat.

Rudy Johnson R7 9 x 31.65 x 13.8
Tensor mag ATG 5.75
spitfire radial 52mm 99
Andele swiss
Diamond 7/8

I kinda like this shape..   :D

@Frank and Fred this one makes me feel some kind of way.

Never thought I'd buy wheels smaller than 54mm ever again but I was not sure to do with this impulse buy Creature... Seemed only right to set up an early 90s inspired rig. Could not go lower than 50mm though... (pic makes them look way bigger)

8.8" with 14" WB
146s Stage 8 Indys (upgraded with 88a Indy bushings and Krux DL kingpin)
Indy Black bearings
50mm 99a Spitfire Lil Smokie F4s.

@nosneb every single board you've ever posted is sick. I couldn't even pick one to post.

I could go on and on. There are too many of you. Respect.

That was a fun board. Wish that shape was on  bareback wood though... Wheels are also long gone. Still got those Stage 8 146s. Might put them on an 8.5 popsicle soon.

I always save photos of people’s set ups as inspiration or just cause they look cool.

TBH, I think Art is cheating. Dude has some of the most beautiful set ups.

But he's only second to Buttfart's masterpiece. It brings tears to my eyes that I'll never set up a board like that.  :'(

That was a fun board. Wish that shape was on  bareback wood though... Wheels are also long gone. Still got those Stage 8 146s. Might put them on an 8.5 popsicle soon.

If you enjoy hoverboards. I have my stage 8 146s on an 8.25, and I ended up putting three speed rings on the inside to get them where I like them.
