Looks good. Interested in how you like the v (I’ve been going back n forth between thunder and venture), and the tablet shape. Tablets look sick. I’m not beast. Trying to skate big wheels is frustrating, they seem like a good compromise

I rode Ventures for years, from like 02-06/07. My moms neighbor used to get hooked up by a few companies and would build me completes for like $60. They were powell/venture/swiss/bones wheels. When he moved out to Cali i started buying thunders and rode those until I set this one up. So its a little nostalgia back to when I was learning.

Are those emboss boards ps or bbs?

I wanna say BBS. It had then lil notch between the truck holes. That’s bbs right?

Yeah, if it didn’t have no laser print I’d say it was a bbs one

Been going through set up madness the past few months, impulsively swapping out everything for something I'll think is better but isn't, but I think I've finally landed on what works best for me.

I feel you brother, you're not alone.

The wheels feel a bit slower than Im use to but meh. They definitely slide a lot better than I expected. Dunno shit about wheels but the Noras I had felt way better

That'll buff out.

I always get shit on for my bad sticker jobs. I just put them there so they don´t get scratched so much and stay visible.

You ever snapped a Real? Anybody here for that matter? I bought a Kyle Walker thinking it would last me a long time, and I'm a pretty light dude, and I snapped the tail off on a fs heel on a bank. Like warming up, mellow bank, not intense impact. Just wondering since it was the first Real I've bought in a long time.

[the snake]

I rarely break boards, or just break them as 2nd setups when they're 4-6 months old, but recently a homie broke one with the blue oval Real logo on 3rd session doing a warm-up fs shove-it on flat, too much nose landed, shit was brand new, so shocking that we had to laugh haha

[Vintagebody]

I'm 190lbs, very stronk, and I rarly break boards. Never broken a Real board yet, which is what I manly skate.

last year or something this one kid was talking all day about how he was going to buy a new deck and shoes to the point it got kind of annoying, borderline bragging. i said something along the lines of "imagine if he snapped it straight away", came back with a real and some weird adidas, about ten minutes into skating it and he snapped it with a flip off a 2 or 3ft ledge. that being said i also think it was defective given the way it snapped.

I love that graphic. I wish they would have printed on the square shape so I could ride one

I didn’t break through it. It just cracked enough where I decided to finish it off. I weigh 135 pounds. I’ve never been able to break or focus a board

I've only skated two reals my entire life. One was a Chima pro model and the first floor of the house I was living in college got broken into when I spent the night at my girlfriends and lots of dumb stuff got stolen. I'm pretty sure my skateboard was used to move a broken stereo because I can't imagine how they got that thing out of there. Was pretty bummed I had swiss bearings and that was the last time ever.

The second real I got was the next board I bought when I went out and had to buy a complete after my last one got stolen. I snapped the tail off on flat ground in the first few minutes of skating it. I was just dorking around once I got home and did a flat ground airwalk and broke it off. (corny I know but I still do them a lot because of this sick flat ground picture of Carroll doing one)


Basically I decided that REAL boards are bad luck for me and I will never skate them again.

switched things up for fun

Pass port 8.5
tensor mag lights ATG 5.75  - Not as surfy as indy but close and the bushings don't auto turn.
bones easy street v5 54 99a  -feel really good on asphalt
cheapshots & 1/8 riser

These mag lights feel great. I'm gonna go back to another twin tail shape (especially after that
TT thread was started) and to some OJ's and I think I'll have that fuzzy-feeling set up again.

[ballintoohard]

Out of all the brands and shapes I've tried there has only been 1 Polar shape I wasn't a huge fan of. With that said it would be super easy to avoid that shape and ride them forever.
