when the set up and the cruiser thread just aren't enough.....
I was a one board guy forever but over time I enjoy building them and always intend on using them for something...most of these boards I never use but don't have the heart to take them apart. I'm not posting on an ipad today so this is reflecting what I'm more so like....
Figured this would be a decent thread...

L-R
1. Clay wheel banana board: my friend gave it to me, I'm going to get some loose ball bearings and pretend I'm Neil Blender....not the first time.
2. Rodney Re-issue w. trackers and copers: unlikely source did the build and was selling it. I couldn't say no It's super hard to skate and isn't a good paper weight. For Rusty I should skate this. I started to ollie boards to keep my pop and this has come in handy.
3. Zip Zinger, Indy stage 7 or 8's, powell g-slide protos. This set up is super fun, I totally figured out smaller wheels on this board makes so much more sense. I had big squishes and it was sketchy. Those g-slides work super good because you can still ollie but slide tons. You can hang your feet off on the zip zinger too. Psyched I found a way to re-purpose skinnier trucks too.
4. Natas 101 re-issue, Indy stage 9 or 10's, ditchtechs. Realized I didn't have the balls to hang it on my wall. Stoked to have a set of ditchtechs, I loved those wheels and when I wrote Powell asking why, they sent me the g-slide protos to try.
5. Powell Flight tech 8., full nose, theeve tih's, race reds, 53 STFs: my go to...see set up thread.
6. OG Steve Claar : I had this board stolen when I was in high school but it got stolen. When my neighbour was moving they were using this board, I offered a brand new set up and the kid gave it to me. Steve Claar, Indy Stage 5 or 6's, NMBS!, OJ team rides, these insane schmidt slide on rails. This is when boards were so gnarly....the tail feels like it's like 9 inches long.
7. Jeff Kendall rain board: I found this on the side of the road, felt bad so wrote a note. No one called for it. Has powell bombers and thunders. These trucks don't turn worth shit for this purpose....but they are rusted on. Rain boards are super fun, it's like you're surfing.
8. FA Kevin Bradley 8.5, Theeve tih's, race reds, SPF 81's. I made this set up because I got scared everyone was going to skate 8.5's and I would have to conform. Now I use it when I don't skate parks (never)
9. Magenta board 8.5, thunders, SPF's. This is my miniramp board, I ride tight trucks on mini so my other trucks don't work. The wheels are bones but are nice and wide which is not common.
OK....I know there's dudes here who have a room full of set ups....post em...I bet these boards go nowhere so I promise not to repost it for a year.
-
Now I don't feel so bad...
-
I like keeping multiple set-ups. Always one "main" though, I like the feel of all sorts of sizes and wheels.
-
them Menu stickers though
-
Now I don't feel so bad...
Hahah, I've only ever shared quiver photos via private messages ;)
-
sick tony hawks boom boom huck jam complete
-
I would like to have a quiver, but I always end up giving my old trucks to my nephews. Pretty much I have a bunch of different decks and wheels that I swap around weekly cause I can never decide what the hell I wanna skate.
-
not a fan of having more than one board at a time. having just the one eliminates having to decide which board to take. i do want to get a zip zinger set up with 129s and some small softy wheels tho, that seems more fun than anything
-
Damn that's crazy. I just have one at a time.
edit... not like you're crazy, just never seen someone with that many skateboards.

I usually have three on the go. Regular board, big tranny board and cruiser.
Middle one is my 'regular board' Polar 8.8", Indy 149s, Conical Wide F4s (about 54mm now). Left is an 8.6" Real, Ace 55s and 57mm F4 classics- for parks/ bigger tranny. Right is the cruiser, Deck Crafters 8.75", Ace 44s and Ricta 86a 58mm. The Ricta 86a and Ace 44 combo is heavenly cruising...I'm trying to use up a bunch of old shit I have lying around before setting up anything new.

Current whips. Yes there's a downhill setup, deal with it :) can't beat a long wheelbase and massive wheels for long mountain roads
EW 9.5x37/22" wb, Indy 159, 1/4 riser, 73mm/82a, swiss
BA 9.25, Theeve TiH 5.5, 1/8 riser, speedlab 60mm/ 100a, swiss
Scumco 8.75, Theeve tiax 5.25, 1/8 riser, OJ hot juice 60mm/78a, bronson
SM 8.25, Ace 44, Bones STF 54, swiss
Setups are always evolving, I have some ideas for another setup or two, just need more bearings
-
All I have is my main set up and a cruiser, but for the first time in my life I'm trying to have a rotation with shoes rather than just skate one designated pair. A vulc, a cupsole, and a hybrid of the two for whatever I'm feeling. Makes me feel like a rich kid or something. ;D

From left to right:
8" Theories Of Atlantis with 139 indys,for street skating on summer
8,125" Klapi (local brand) with 8.0 fury evos and bones atf's, cruiser board
Sweet Skateboards cruiser i got super cheap, tried it once and it's been sitting in corner since,mostly because of crappy bearings and wheels
8,3" Palace with indy baseplates and bushings and fury evo2 8,25" hangers, indoor season board
-
Your indoor/outdoor set ups are the opposite of mine I think.....
These are sick....I don't really collect skate stuff so this is the closest thing....when I had a garage I had a 2' quarter and it was fun just skating different boards....

Took advantage of their low prices ?

Lol no, they just carry what I like. I could order from somewhere way closer, but I'm weird. Plus they have a discount section that helped me build a cruiser!

That's pretty much what I meant by their low prices.
where else in Canada can you find an american branded deck on sale for 40$ in the middle of the summer ? The staff that actually skate are really nice, but one of the owners can be a huge douche at times... Still, they do a lot for the local scene so they'll always have my money.

OIC I knew they were good people to deal with just by seeing their website :P people don't realize how much money they lose with crappy webstores!
I try to buy semi-local, but like you said, if they've got the goods your looking for.. Its good to hear their good people though (besides the owner).

This is too funny cuz I've been rocking a venture shirt all day and wearing it as i type.
Thanx J! By the way, how is that flight deck holding up?
-
Good but it's winter skate season so it's not getting a ton of abuse.....the major differences I'm finding more so just relate to it being a different woodshop.....not really mind blowing....
Its got a bit of flex to it which is rad but I can't say it really affects the performance......I have a feeling it'll stay feeling fresh but the main thing will be the razor tail which because everything I'm skating is super polished...isn't really a factor yet....

The sale gear thread has posted so many good deals that I have a quiver of shoes that will last me quite a while! I have several pairs that are just sitting in my closet now, waiting to be skated.

And lastly the Nakel Matchcourt Highs. They weren't on sale or anything, my GF just bought them for me as a Valentine's Day present.
Skating some Huf Classic His right now, can't wait for them to blow out so I can skate the Nakels haha
Seriously though, shoutout to everyone who posts in the Sale Gear thread. Y'all are doing the Lord's work.

I skated the Doomsayer set up till I got the Ace 55's broke in. Bones 56mm SPF, Swiss bearings, Jessup.I got pitched bombing a parking garage in Feb and ended up worse off than Phelps did a few weeks ago. So I retired that deck and put the trucks away also.
I posted the Roskop rip-off in the Cruiser thread, but its a Big Mess with some old Indys that the axels slip like crazy & Bones bushings, OJ Ditch WWitch 56mm 92a, Bones Super Reds
I re upped the shovel T-Mo Anti Hero deck for what Im riding now, so that one was the older Our Life T-Mo, Ace 44's 55mm STF prob skated down a few mm though, with random Bones Swiss, Reds and Super Swiss 6s.
-
Aces look so good
-
(http://i.imgur.com/QmQVihp.jpg) not really a quiver so much as a small collection of vanity items/decoration/fashion accessories but i do plan on using most of these. the real im actually going to skate... buying graphics i like was kinda a mistake as im really hesitant to do more than ride around or kickaround on flat and manual pads
-
i want try either ace or venture for the truckless krooked as i've never tried them but i will prob wait on that for a few months,
i forget the board sizes but i skate the yellow krooked which has thunder, ricta, swiss and going to start maining the real which has indy spitfire swiss
the guy was saying the thunders were too small for the deck but i actually prefer it to the wider trucks, it feels really tight and responsive for weaving even with my trucks pretty tight
-
its the first time in my life i've had more than 2 boards 1 being a rainboard/frankenstien.. it feels both very wrong and very right
-
it was nice to give each of the 3 local shops business though a lot of people must just buy things online these days.. the zumiez store had a better deal i think but its #strictly4theculture... must resist preording wennings board... maybe i can just send him some money

Thought I would just resurrect this one instead of creating a new thread. I just recently mixed up my quiver all together.
Pretty excited to try out some new stuff.
Lets see what everyone has going on currently.
(https://i.ibb.co/HdsvRBQ/unnamed-12.jpg)
New trunk/rain setup: Evisen 7.875, Tensor mag atg 5.0, old Bones stf v2s size?, Bearings?, Shortys, Jessup.
Pulled this deck back out, small crack but still fine. The old junk board was done, just cobbled this one together.
New regular setup: 5boro 7.75, Venture 5.2 hi, F4 classics 52mm 99a, Reds, Shortys, Jessup.
Set it up last night, haven't skated it yet, wanted to try out some ventures.
New to the line up: FUBK Rudy 8.89, Indy 159s, Boardy Cakes Benchwarmers 48.5, Reds, Shortys, Jessup.
I have been wanting to put something like this together for a long time. Haven't really had a chance to skate it yet, besides to the store and back for some beer yesterday. Super fun so far.
New/old cruiser: Vision Psycho Stick 10, Indy 169s, 56mm Keyframes, Reds, Shortys, Jessup.
My fiancée skated around once or twice with it last year, since then it has just been sitting around the house. Took the risers of, and swapped the wheels with these keyframes I forgot I had. I'll see how it feels and if its weird, I'll just throw the big ass rat-bones I have back on it.

Why yes they're I pulled a rope a dope on Zumiez by saying my package got stolen and they sent another pair no questions asked, by the time my new set came a neighbor with the same address number but two streets over dropped off the initial package. Two sets truck's for the price of a discounted price. Fuck yes for me.

Is it okay if I list them? Or photo barrage y’all?

I've slimmed everything down in fact I just loaned out my transition set up to my neighbours teenage daughter to try skateboarding.....

This is just the box of decks I'll never touch again, either skated or hated...

wish there was a better deck-share system or maybe an easier way to ship those barely used decks. wouldn't mind trying more dimensions sizes and varieties of concave/fingers of flat/ etc

I use to do a lending library for used decks in each town I lived in from Petaluma California, Denver Colorado, to Lantana Florida.
It was similar to a bike collective but with board's, come set-up a decent board for your kid's or yourself it was funded by myself and only thing it would have cost was $5 or donate whatever old part's your not using. I called it boards not bomb's but it's been phased out because some rich kid's thought they could Snake my bag of gear. I shut that down afterwards.
-
I just keep em in my trunk and hand them out if I see someone with a beat board...plus I try to do a full set up build once a year to give away to someone who wants to try skating. I guess I skate parks a lot so I see a lot of kids. Every now and then I catch myself....'you grip your board just like ME!'
Wait...that's my board. It's selfish but nice...a lot of kids remember me for it and I think they're going to a decent home.

I live super close to a local park and would donate to groms all the time, even hold mini contests for gear for games of skate...I'd do it at Venice but kids over there don't need the boards like the ones at the other park.

Bless you man, I would do that at my local but I don't drive anymore so carrying a stack of boards to the park while riding the bus would kill me.

Just have to make it local, Facebook group or the 'next door' type apps...shipping is the killer or we'd all be swapping shit out.

Yeah I did it at my local park and few other places, outside my area with a bike and kiddie hauler with shit loads of gear here but other place’s I’d post on MySpace or word of flyers and shit.
It’s rewarding for what it’s worth buttttttt I have been accused by a Karen once before and that incident I mentioned beforehand. I believe good deeds are the path of selflessness and reciprocate your investments in other’s.

I have a bunch of completes I don't skate in my collection, but that's kind of different, so here's my cruiser, my current set up, and the next one I'll be skating. Most likely going back to Thunders after one set up trying Indy for the first time since 2000. Not really feeling them.

Thanks player! I think they are going through clutch now, Im not really sure on the shape. They actually just switched woodshops, they were using control until this latest run. I love the new shapes though so fun to ride, really nice kicks and all of that. Civil usually has them nicely stocked up I really recommend trying one out. The 2001 space odyssey graphic is really cool too, I have one of those on ice for when this deck is toast.

No sir. Probably because the shape/size difference 8.25, 9, 9.5. If they were all the same size popsicle, I'm sure it would be a disaster.
But after only skating Ventures for a very very long time, I really enjoy the indys and especially the thunders.

These are sick. That being said, I don't know how some of you deal. I have 2 setups at the moment and it's painful and madness-inducing for me. One is a popsicle and the other is shaped and it makes me feel like I am having an identity crisis (even though I do the same shitty tricks on both).

Thanks man, I completely understand the identity crisis part and the same shitty tricks too. Shaped decks are fine for the majority of my skating, but the twin tail thing was very tempting so I had to keep a popsicle in the lineup too. I have come to realize that it's become a matter of energy level for me. If I don't have a lot of gas in the tank and have the time to skate, I will grab a popsicle because they flip with less effort. And if my legs feel good I skate the big boards because they are so much fun. For me there is no better feeling than catching a clean fliptrick on a fat board.
-
I'm old and the arthritis is off the hook so I don't skate that often any more, so every setup I have is kind of unnecessary tbh. I don't have any pictures of my boards all together but I always snap some pics of my setups fresh before they get all chipped and scratched. Powell Rib Bones, generic hardware, Spit bearings and black Mob grip on all of em

Respect....I recoginze how fun it is just to build up a board and tinker with them...
If you're shredding, those nuances between skating a set of indys versus thunders or whatever can make a difference and if you're just doing the same tricks....why not do them on different boards?

That Cardiel. I have one (unskated) left and then a Control-pressed version of the same shape. I will fuck around with other shapes but go back to that board (with Ace 55s) constantly. My current one is getting a little razored and is a year old but I am still running it. I've been having trouble finding them and emailed DLX, and whoever I spoke with said they're out of stock but not discontinued so that gives me some hope.

Prepare to get even happier ;D
Just brought 2 newborns home. My quiver grows.
See the 9" thread. I decided to put together this Dane1 shop board.
(https://i.imgur.com/NunWX7Tl.jpg)
Normally 1 new complete at a time is plenty. But this would have given me 13 completes total. An unlucky number. And I'm too weird about numbers to let that slide. I considered taking apart one of my little cruisers. That way my total would still be 12. But I really don't want to do that. So I decided to just put together 2 new boards and bring the total to 14.
Now it was just a matter of deciding what to do for a 14th setup.
(https://i.imgur.com/Yh04NJzl.jpg?1)
I decided on a rail set up. I took my rails off a New Deal board back in '91 or so. I remember it well. My buddy Greg who ripped had the Vallely barnyard and clued me in as to the advantages. I took them off right then and there and haven't had a set since. But I'm old now and it might be fun on curbs. I've had this Krooked Sebo board sitting around for a couple years. I bought it online cheap and didn't realize it was a full shape with a 14.625 wheelbase. Too long for my tastes. But I figured it should be fine for this. And that way I'm not wasting too much money. Not that I need any justification besides the fact that its fun; but one of the ways I justify this quiver to myself is if they all have different trucks (brands, size). I've got 66s on my Gonz. But no 44s in the quiver. I figured they would be good for this long wheelbase.
Impressions after a couple sessions: I remember why I took my rails off. First off, only 3 of the 10 screws actually sunk into the rail. The remaining 7 were all popping up. So I had to go to the hardware store to get a little longer with smaller head screw to actually fit. Pig rails. They make the pop feel so dull and board is extra heavy. And not only is it heavier, they mess with the whole weight distribution by adding weight to the middle of the board. Starting to rattle already. But they do slide. I've got some spots in mind that this thing might work for. I tried this board in the pool at the park and did not like it. The trucks felt way too skinny. And its so funny looking. Really looks like a toy to me with all the colors, rails, risers, skinny looking trucks and big wheels (56 classic F4).
I also recently bought some 55s. So once I find the right board for those, the quiver will increase again.

Ha Ha! I got those stage 1s at a bargain from ebay. Somebody was cleaning out their garage and selling an old trashed board along with other junk. Knew they were old from the photo, but was very surprised when it arrived to find they had the solid baseplate w/ sealed in kingpin.
@mynameisnotjeff
Thanks! Was always called out for being a pack rat, but glad i've saved stuff over the years. That burton was kept in my parent's basement for years, the bindings dry rotted, but the board is in pretty good shape.

these are great! that baker t-funk looks fun.
do you match up specific trucks to deck wheelbases? looks like there's a consistent axle to axle distance within all of these, and not big drastic differences in true wheelbase.

Ahahahahah, as most of you said, it's good to finally be able to share the quiver without feeling like a weirdo.
I have now:
3 cruisers set up, 1 for my girlfriend (which she doesn't use) a 7.75 coffee cruiser shape, a regular cruiser board with Krooked ZipZinger Wheels, and a filmer/rough terrain board with 80a Mini Logos.
1 reissue, New Deal Andrew Morrison, which ended up being too heavy/boring to be used as a main set-up but still fun to fuck around.
1 park board, ranging from 8.8 to 9,25. Currently a LovenSkate Jordan Thackeray and a few Krooked Drehobl's as backup.
1 "street" board, 8.5.

This one is for tre flips, this one is my ledge game, this one is for bowls, this one for hillbombs, this for when hungover (its heavy so I don't do flip tricks), this one is for slappies, this one, is JUST like that one but with softer wheels for crust vs park, this is shit I bought that I hate and will never skate again but don't know what to do with it, and this one, this one is because I wanted to fucking build it!

Exactly, the one's with 54mm and under are for various street skating tech wizardry tight trucks or ledge game the one on top is my cruiser and the rest of them are for bowl riding or parks.
I'm meticulous about surfaces and some places I like to skate, for example smooth plazas I skate with a 98d or soft wheel or a park with a F-4.
I've never had this before and I'm grateful for it so by the time they're beat I either give them away or something similar.

appreciate the shout outs everyone!
the lower part or the rack is old orig stuff that i've held on to. don't really take them out.
rolled that ron allen on the streets of savannah when i went to scad, lots of night sessions. the barbee i had in high school. just nice physical parts of the memories from those times.
the others are different strokes for various moods. the antihero is a fat slappy board. the lotti reissue takes me back to those early 90's days, low and flippy. i'll take out the gonz re-issue every once is a while, it makes me wonder how i was able to do stuff on that shape and weight as a lanky teen. but then i see chico STILL killing it on these shapes.

That creature board seems like you could take it off road thru some trails.

Thanks! I haven't tried trails with the Creature/huge Powell wheels setup but I think it would work ok if I ever did. It's a great cruiser. The low brothers setup is definitely different from the Creature. Brings me back to the 90's.

That Lib Tech Jamie Lynn really does it for me.
It is a great shape, and uses their cockroach construction. It is stiff and lighter than the 8" south central deck. I re-drilled it from a 15" wheelbase back to a 14.62". I usually have it set up with 56mm SPF and it is my go-to in fast parks with transition. Probably my favorite setup for what I usually skate.
I didn't see any Lib Tech skateboards anywhere in 2020. I don't know if they are going to make them in 2021 either. If so, I'll want to grab another.

Man that sounds perfect. I love bigger light boards, I just got a couple 8.8 vx decks and it's great to have the foot space but not be weighed down. Along with the way they stay rigid and keep the original shape. I kind of miss riding spfs, I had to switch due to versatility issues but nothing hauls ass in smooth parks like them. Have you posted a too view of the Jamie Lynn?

Yeah, they’re stock. But honestly, I enjoy them. I run em jiggly loose, that being said I’d never buy a set because I’m super loyal to ace.

Quiver dudes. I wanna set up a second board. But since I’ve only ever skated one setup at a time how do I play to the strengths like what makes a park set up vs a street set up? It all comes down to I got classic ace 44s I love. Skating the classic 44s on an 8.5. Got a 8.3 deck on ice. Gonna go grab the ace af1 55 today. Does it matter which is park or street? Like what is the difference you guys use for park or street.
-
When I think park, I mostly think transition. So a park set up, might have wider deck, trucks and bigger wheels. Maybe even longer wheelbase if I'm skating bigger transition.
But if you're skating more street elements, plaza style parks I wouldn't really change much... Maybe harder wheels to take advantage of smoother ground?

Depends.. :P
Street: hucking? ledges? flippity?
Park: Street (all of the above) park or bowl park? Both?
I've always had, on average, a few setups:
If it's a bowl centric park: Wider board/longer wheelbase + ACE/Indy/Theeve + 101a/83b BONEs SPF/STFs (bigger)
If it's a street centric park: Smaller board/Wheelbase + Thunders+ 101a Bones STFs (smaller)
Combo park? 8.3"/144 Indy Ti/53mm 101s (I still feel this is the best middle ground for everything)
8.3/8.5 deck, 54/53mm 101a wheels for park (if I'm hitting bowls and street, no bowls the below with harder wheels) ACE or Indy
8.25/8.3 deck, 52/51 99a wheels for 'street skating' Thunders or Tensors
Slappy builds change weekly...but have been going wider, lower and with smaller wheels..
As I'm downsizing my quiver I'm realizing all the 8.25s I was trying to get to feel right were just me wanting to be back on 8.3/8.5 for the fuller nose and tails.

I gotta buy more heroin boards. A lot of the graphics kinda turn me off in the catalogs, but then I see them set up and I start questioning every judgement I've ever made.

Yeah I generally lean 'less is more' in terms of graphics which is not Heroin at all, but it grew on me. I know the fact that a lot of their boards are dipped turns some people off, but this one feels great and has great pop so I'm good with it. Got my eye on the symmetrical egg that just came out next.

From left-right:
1. 8" Peace of Wood (now defunct local brand), ventures, 53mm spitfire classics. My girlfriend is learning to skate so this is her primary setup now
2. 8.55" Antihero (yinzer shape), indy 149 hollows, 53mm f4s. This is my street board, probably going to size back down to 8.25s after this one.
3. 9.25 Welcome, Ace AF1 66s, spitfire 55mm tablets. My local diy has loads of curbs and transition, so I put this together just for those.
4. 8.25-ish shaped pennswood deck, thunder 148s, 64mm oj 3s. Set this up as a cruiser but it hasn't seen much use, still fun to have around though.
-
I’m a single set up dude. But recently trying to skate more tranny. Do you guys with multiple setups have issues going from one to the other? Like you gotta get use to each set up for a period of time?
For a tranny set up should I just get a wider board that still has the same WB so it’s kinda like skating the same board?
Right now my only set up is
8.5 with a 14.25wb
Indy’s
Bones v5 55mm
Possible tranny set up
9.0 with a 14.25wb
Ace af1 55 ( already have)
Spitfire radials 54mm ( already have but debating on OJ nomads cause diy spot kinda crusty)
You guys that run multiple boards. You think this is close enough in specs I won’t have an issue going from Main Street deck to this as park/tranny/diy spot deck? Or since they are so close is there even a point in running a different set up? I don’t skate tranny at all but trying to learn and figured I should get a wider board to learn and maybe get some more life from AF1s this way

4 months since my last post in this thread. Quiver has increased by 5 since then. Now I'm up to 19 setups. Too much? Or not enough?

I don't have any pics of my boards all together but I always snap a few pics of each new freshie I set up. I am running five boards currently which feels like the perfect amount to me, one popsicle board that is my daily driver, built to destroy and four shaped cruisers that I take out for a spin occasionally and try to avoid chipping or damaging because I love them and want to ride these setups forever. At least until the aches and pains in my legs and feet catch up with me and I can't skate anymore.

I like your board choices, but seeing an uncustomized grip tape job on the Wink is giving me what I can only assume 90’s kids feel when they see anything but straight black grip on a popsicle

@3D X-Ray Vision when you got from your tranny deck with a biggee WB to the Main Street prim with the short WB do you have issues re adjusting?

I’m a single set up dude. But recently trying to skate more tranny. Do you guys with multiple setups have issues going from one to the other? Like you gotta get use to each set up for a period of time?
For a tranny set up should I just get a wider board that still has the same WB so it’s kinda like skating the same board?
Right now my only set up is
8.5 with a 14.25wb
Indy’s
Bones v5 55mm
Possible tranny set up
9.0 with a 14.25wb
Ace af1 55 ( already have)
Spitfire radials 54mm ( already have but debating on OJ nomads cause diy spot kinda crusty)
You guys that run multiple boards. You think this is close enough in specs I won’t have an issue going from Main Street deck to this as park/tranny/diy spot deck? Or since they are so close is there even a point in running a different set up? I don’t skate tranny at all but trying to learn and figured I should get a wider board to learn and maybe get some more life from AF1s this way
14.25 wheelbase with Indy is going to turn slower than the 14.25 with Ace, and I generally want my bigger setups to turn slower.
I have a 8.375, 14.25 wheelbase with Indy 149s and my AF1 55s are on an 8.75 w/ 14.75 wheelbase (Anti Hero Blue Meanie). I don't have an issue switching between them. (I have 4-5 other setups as well from 8" to 9.25" with Thunder, Indy, Ace, Mini Logo).
In your situation I'd probably go for a DLX 8.62 with 14.75 wheelbase as it won't be too magic-carpet with the AF1 55s. 9 seems excessive with those trucks.

Thank you for the response that really helped a ton. My local has a $lave 8.67 that’s close to those dims. I’ll swoop up if there still have it. I really appreciate it.

As a 90s kid, you are correct about the grip(4 piece is also accepted) and I do have to issue violations for what looks like a welcome & baker sticker on a creature deck along with having both nike and adidas represented.

There's also Real and Dogtown stickers on there too
We'll do a blanket violation this time but you're in the file now.

I don't have any pics of my boards all together but I always snap a few pics of each new freshie I set up. I am running five boards currently which feels like the perfect amount to me, one popsicle board that is my daily driver, built to destroy and four shaped cruisers that I take out for a spin occasionally and try to avoid chipping or damaging because I love them and want to ride these setups forever. At least until the aches and pains in my legs and feet catch up with me and I can't skate anymore.

You were so excited to talk shit you skipped some pertinent info. Now you just look dumb again. I put it in bold print so you can find it w/o much trouble ;)

Dude, those are amazing pics and listings of setups, regardless of what others might say.
So good to see!

I'll sleep safe and sound knowing my boards are gripped properly and stickered sensibly. Though I might be up for a while trying to figure out how you seriously think a slight grammar error changes any of that lol. I'm just joking around man, but the funniest jokes hold some truth, and the truth is, your grip and stickers are wack. Try and look at yourself critically, we all do silly things sometimes, its not the end of the world.

It's not that weird, he obviously skates with a Nike on his flick foot and an Adidas on his pop foot. If that's his goldilocks combo, can't shade him for it. The black grip is covering the rest of the Baker sticker; it actually says ”my other skateboard is a Baker".

Hey y'all, first-time poster. Took kind of a break from skating for the past 3ish years due to school and life stuff but came back full force this summer. Been fortunate to have had a new park built 5 minutes from my place with a pool. I skate transition 90% of the time, have always preferred that but used to skate street more before. There are three parks within a 30min drive from me that all have pool-style bowls that were built in the last 2 years so I've been really stoked skating those a ton with the crew I've become a part of. Been meaning to post my quiver here - most of these boards I picked up before my hiatus, but got a couple of these this summer as well. Even though I have way too many boards to actually skate em all I try to at least have the setups all be different enough to warrant keeping them.

These two are my daily drivers - the left is my street/slappy setup and the right is my pool/transition board. I put those two decks beside because I'm gonna switch out the Natas deck for the Dane1 once it's dead, and I loved that Lance Mountain Flip deck but only got 3 weeks out of it before snapping the tail on an ollie north hahaha. Since I mostly skate new parks and transition I could probably get at least 3-4 months out of a board. Hoping to get another one of that shape.

Put in the link of the pic itself, more so than the link URL, or use the "Add image to post" option just under this text box.
If you open the upload and add the brackets [ ] with img and then /img before and after, it should display the image in the window, eg [ img ] image url [ /img] but without spaces between them.
Hit "Quote" and check out the text formatting of what I added for you.

Thought I should post a pic of some boards, seeing as I am in here...
My pic of three little pigs.
Sure they are not actually pigs, but at 10" or almost 10" they could be close.
All three are second hand swaps / purchases and have Indy 159 and 169s on them, big soft wheels and are just cruiser setups, but so much fun to smash around on.

That's a good assortment of wood!
Did you sand off the SW graphic, or scrape it off? Or actually a blank deck?
Just curious, but I have been scraping graphics off recently so it is of more interest to me right now.

I realised as I posted, cause I don't usually look at their own boards, but saw they had straight blanks too and quickly changed the post.
At least they have lots of options.

I feel like my quiver has gotten a bit more refined as of late. Still trying to escape the madness and consolidate to one or two boards. Was fun to try a shitload of different stuff out in the 8 months since I started skating again though.

That 9" Polar Popsicle looks fun. I've been riding 8.5" forever but after seeing all the 9" set ups and reading about Brian Anderson's new 8.8" shape, considering sizing up again....
-
Yeah the 9 doesn't really feel that big. I have size 12 feet though. To me truck size and wheelbase/ tail length are really what impacts my consistency with tricks. So if I can get away with a wider board I usually will as they feel more comfortable on transition. This 9" has a nice long tail and 14.5" WB. The wheel wells really help also as a wider board/ wide truck combo often means way more wheel bite. This means I only need an 1/8" riser and can still ride huge wheels and loose trucks.

Yeah I've got size 13s and especially on flip tricks and manuals I end up getting a ton of toe drag. .5" really isn't a huge jump but psychologically it's been hard to make myself go there. Think I'm nearly ready though.

How many spare boards do you have in 8.5 or other sizes?
On one hand I would say finish your existing stack first, but on the other hand I would say it is good to have a few options in size, not necessarily skate each one the same way, but when I was not sure about sizing up, having a few different sized boards made it more fun to just roll around, especially a bigger board more as a "recovering from injury" setup, that I bought as a complete from another guy I know who had been through a knee recon and didn't want the bigger board any more.
In that way it opened up a whole lot more, rather than just being on the same size on repeat for the last however many years, but also getting more interested in a lot of different board shapes and sizes is something to keep in check, so as to NOT let the common Slap madness take hold and trying too many different options, or just ending up with way to many completes.
I think I have most of the bigger sizes setup as completes now, from 8.12, 8.25, 8.38, 8.5, 8.62, 8.75, 8.8, 9.0 just in popsicles, but the 8.75 and the 9.0 are definitely along the lines of fun setups but a bit big for what I want as an every day rider.
I also have a Huffer 9.1 and some bigger old school shaped boards including a couple of other 9.5, 9.81 or so and a 10.0 in setups too, which had been skated as regular riders by others but are just cruisers for me nowdays.
Coming from a shop background nowdays, always standing on whatever came into the shop in the last however long was a really good way of feeling out boards too, but it is still a different experience setting up something new and taking it out for a roll if you haven't been used to anything of that size before (or within the last decade or so).

Yeah i have multiple set ups and I don't really have a backlog of decks to get through. I just refreshed both of my street boards though. I'm on an 8.5" Polar with Wheel wells and when I'm through with that, I'll probably take a shot on a 9" popsicle (or the BA 8.8" if it's released). I've got a huffer and a twin tail in the quiver, and recently broke down a 8.38"
