I like the way you're standing. How are those metrics?

Stand game on point.

Must be the queen in me.

The shoes are a bitch to break in and the soles are thicker than I'm used to, but on a high note I love em. Very durable, great arch support, roomy around the toes, and very fly on the eye. Highly recommend. True to fit size 10.

Anti Hero 8.06
Thunder lights 147
Formula Four Ishod Wair 54mm Conical
Bronson Bearings(first time trying, like em)

Im coming off of having OJ keyframes because I mostly street skate on pretty rough ground but I missed power sliding so I tried the formula fours. I was power sliding at this car wash that had some slick/wet concrete and it was crazy the slides you can get on these, so fun. On the other hand though I forgot how loud hard wheels can be on surfaces that aren't smooth/ skatepark concrete. I could barely hear my iPod on full volume they were so loud on asphalt. I like them a lot but I'll probably try out some Soft Ds next.

i love that DLX shape! i can do colored base plates but colored hangers drive me crazy. you can always dip em in some nail polish remover and the powder coat peels right off

what? sand it down, whack a bit of epoxy on there and skate that thing until its really dead.

[shit_for_brains]

Do you really, really fucking suck at 3 flips? Maybe you have them confused with tossing your board around.

You must be spoiled as fuck because that's a brand new deck in my country. Man up dude!

[ducky darnsworth]

i feel like i'm not tripping that hard, the board is somewhat new, not even any razor tail/nose yet, but just on one try i landed with the board upside down, then flipped it back over and it jjst looked like that, and usually when i chip the board it's a solid piece i can glue back but this shit just crumbled like some dry bread, which is weird because none of the other board i had did that, i'm still skating it though, so if it happens again at a different spot then its just a faulty board, then if it doesn't then it's just a freak accident i suppose, its still odd though

[ChuckRamone]

the way it chipped is kinda weird. reminds me of ikea furniture. I would just pull the chips off and sand it down on the sidewalk.

Were you trying it on some gnarly cheese grater ground or something? After one attempt?
I've seen people try tricks off gaps and stairs with rugged ground for the landing with walmart boards just for shits and giggles, and their boards don't even look THAT messed up after a bunch of bailed tries.

if you've got it like that, switch it out. no shame, I'd do the same. then either donate it to a homie in need or sell it off, and get 20$ for it. Why continue to ride a board if you're already bummed out on it?

[Radbloke]

Really enjoying this 8.38 Polar shape. The Reynolds are making my old man feet hurt though.

Had risers last set up n didn't like it, felt too high n shaky.
Hit the park today and had most of my regular tricks, took a while to adjust the trucks n find a sweet spot but once I did it was ripping as usual.

How do you like that board. I had the exact same one. I liked the squared off nose and tail but the were so damn steep I couldn't get used to it. I ended up selling it to a buddy.
