It’s more beat up now than this picture shows but this is my back to skateboarding after 7 years setup
Deck: “Reptile” brand blank 8x31.75. This brand seems to be the default blank here in Japan and its the only blank I’ve seen sold in legit skate shops here. A shop worker told me it’s same factory as Santa Cruz, they’re stamped made in China so I’m assuming it’s dwindle. It’s got mellow kicks and concave and a very standard popsicle shape.
Trucks: Indy stage 9 129. I snagged these off my ancient board that my cousin left at my parents house years ago. I used to only skate old tensor so while these are said to be the worst stage indies they feel great to me.
Wheels: spitfire ff tablet 54mm 99d. First time riding ff, love them but they slide much less than expected. I’ve never been a good powerslider but I can’t get these to slide at all.
Bearings: MxM , some Japanese brand that also makes decks, they were the cheapest ones at the shop and they are the same as any other cheap bearing
I am dead broke but plan on getting a 8.5 deck, Indy 149 or ace 44 next. I rode 7.75s back in the day but the big deck feels great and I mostly do 180s and kickflips and boardslides while cruising around Tokyo. I have tiny 7.5 feet but want to go big right away.
