Same here, not sure why the pics are suddenly massive (full size), they usually post much smaller.

Digging that Quasi graphics run.

Winter boredom and late night shopping brought me this:

Gravette 8.2
Thunder 148s
Thunder 100a bushings
STF V1 53mms
Bones super reds
Jessup
Diamond hardware

Hopefully this next week I can try it out!

Are you from Duncan? Or did you order that online

Nope! I ordered it, I'm over in alberta

One of the BEST 8.2x" shapes out there, with great dimensions all around; hard to come by since they changed their shapes...some new 'wide' tips out tho, going to try one soon.

^^^Really nice boards Clamy, as always. I loved that AWS Colorsync series. With it being a couple years old, how long did the wood last for you? I have some multiple year old stuff I am going to start setting up soon to burn through.

Pastasash · « **Reply #17916 on:** March 14, 2018, 09:30:51 AM »

Holy shit where did you find that old GT AWS deck? I had that same one back when it came out and have been trying to find another one since then! Was one of my favorite set ups.

Enrico Pallazzo · « **Reply #17917 on:** March 17, 2018, 09:27:27 PM »

Polar P4 Shape
Venture 5.8s
F4 Radials

Pretty over this deck already, I was a fan of the P8 shape and figured this would be a smaller version, but it tapers too much in the tail and is weirdly flat. I'll probably throw my Aces on it and relegate it to being a slappy/"fun" setup.

New deck & wheels for spring:

Rosemont 8.5
Independent 149s w/forged baseplates
58 Spitfire Classics
FTC bearings
Bender allen hardware
Hope to give this a roll on my lunchbreak today. Really hyped on Clamy's setups also.

You got beautiful trucks, there.
And a nice carpet too.

Bizarro Jerry · « **Reply #17920 on:** March 18, 2018, 06:41:05 PM »

I love the look of fresh new wheels on some old worn down trucks.

I've been experimenting with all kinds of different shit for months now. I'm done. This is perfection.

eBay, some guy had it as a complete. I took everything else off gave it away. I wouldn't normally buy a whole setup from eBay, but it was worth it.

Agreed. So nice.

x2 Hopps boards, both 8.125. I bought the white one off Jerry Fowler.

How you compare film trucks to another truck brands?

I been curious for a long time, they just look like a mash-up between Indys + thunders.

Cool to see a eurobrands setup!

They are great.i'm not a big fan of new trucks company,but those are great for sure!

im interested to see how they would skate.

I guess Clamy like New England clam chowder. Jerry Fowler and Jahmal are great, but I don't need to tell you that!

Please let us know how the 101 classics are for you, I had some 101 conicals but I don’t think the hardness complimented the shape and I been wanting to try a good set of the f4 101a

Just an FYI -

For everyone posting huge pics, you can create a Flickr account for free, upload your pics and then when you share, choose "Medium 600x800" for the BBCode

will do. i heard they're not so good at rough spots but are great for everything else.

Little Debbie · « **Reply #17931 on:** March 20, 2018, 07:40:51 AM »

I had been riding 99 F4 conicals but a few weeks ago I stepped up to the 101s, and a slightly smaller shape, and I'm so glad I did. I don't skate rough ass street spots, mainly just parks now. the 101s retain noticeably more momentum as you're riding, they're sick.

the snake · « **Reply #17932 on:** March 20, 2018, 07:44:47 AM »

don't tell anything about 101's to this skategear junkie, but tell us what modus bearings are these and how they ride

i skate the same classic full 101s for more than a year, they feel more urethane than bones stf, but 99s on rough spots must be the best option

Not sure. I asked them about it and never got a response. The stain, shape, and wheelbase seem similar to scumco boards though. I'll know more when I get a chance to skate it but its been raining the last couple days here. Regardless I think they're switching to psstix for their next run.

^trucks are too small, and not indy, 5/10

edit : 4/10 because of the tiny trucks again
