The Set-up Thread

[mynameisnotjeff]

I love PS Stix and stiffer boards so it was nice. It had steeper kicks which I like. It works for me and surprisingly what I was looking for.

[RichardBarkley]

I already cracked my new 7.75 and had a crappy day so I set this up to put a smile on my face. I couldn't land jack shit, Oh well.. heres a pic because DOA boards are nice. 
DOA 8.1
Venture 5.6
SF 52mm
Jessup

Nooooooo sorry to hear that.

7.75 is the size.

How'd it break ? What was it ?

[yapple dapple]

[Esmith5488]

Set this up because it’s a little smaller than my last deck but the length was a little weird to adjust to

8.0 primitive x S.P.o.T
5.6 venture ti with cast plates riptides and supercush bushings
53 radial slims
Bones Swiss 6

[Ok]

7.75 is THE size, I concur.
I’m starting to believe that 7.75 on 5.0 is the way tho, and if it’s 8” trucks, I think I might do better with an 8.125. That ratio might be more important than the deck size.
Maybe.

It was an brand new Element that cracked pretty good. I landed both feet in the middle on a flat ground tre, and at almost 190 lbs. it didn't stand a chance. I had 139 indys on it and I have very little experience with anything but Ventures so everything was off.
I just got 5.0s as a present but they were Hi's so I sold them off. But I have 5.0 lo's coming tomorrow for when I set up my next 7.75. Also SneakyMcSecrets suggested that I try the indys on my 8.1 DOA that I wasn't jiving with, and I plan on trying that this weekend.

*edit* That means I will have peel that Venture sticker off, and that will hurt my heart deeply.

I skate 5.0 hi’s, infrequently. Should more often.

Yes you do HAVE to peel that venture sticker off before mounting Indy’s, holy fuck. Courting calamity by listening to sneaky secrets seductive suggestions

[YungJugg]

Never remove a sticker. Put a new one over it.

[Ok]

Possibly a better policy. Plus has to feel naughty.




Just so we are clear here, I’ve put 4 different sets of trucks on one deck before. The wheelbite markings are incredibly embarrassing/shameful.

I'm gonna finish my adult beverage and try a living room tre..if I land it first try you are my hero. If I miss it there will forever be trust issues between you and I.

[Seventyfrigginseven]

Well this is close enough for a exhausted and buzzed 43 year old.. Sexysecrets has done it again 
I sincerely apologize for the short shorts its fucking hot as hell.

[sammyz]

Just came back from the local shop:




deck - shop blank 8.5
trucks - venture standard 5.8
wheels - spitfire classic 60mm
other - random bearings, shop grip, shop bolts

sweet...so your local shop is 335?

[ldmch11]

Quasi 8.75
Thunder lights 151
Spitfire Conical 56 (now maybe 53)
Reds
Nike SB Check Solar

Wheelbase feels weird but having pop feels so good. Shoes are fucking ass but fortunately they gonna be done soon.

Damn that deck looks so clean

Yeah man, DM me and we'll skate sometime.

[Sativa Lung]

The madness continues. Decide to set up something smaller and lighter than my 8.8” with 169 standards.



8.25 Clubhouse SB (local brand by a local woodshop)

I can almost guarantee that's a clutch deck. That's one of the stock stains they do. Was there a letter + number code on the top between the nose bolt holes?

I really like this. What's the length and WB?

Haha! Well I'm afraid thats where the similarities end unfortunately bud. Worrest is the man.

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

Had a really nice sesh yesterday breaking in this one.

Alltimers Zered Bassett 8.25
Indy hollow forged 144
Bones Easy Streets 53mm
Bones Swiss
Bronze Allen 7/8 hardware
Mob Grip
Adidas Superstar Laceless (with laces  )

[FrozenIndustries]

Feel like a dick setting up another board but the DOA experimental shape felt way of with the 14" WB and big nose. I ate shit more times in the past two days than I have in months. Taking it as a sign.

8.06 AH Eagle (14.38 WB)
Venture 5.2 Lo, 94 DLX supercush
Spitfire 50mm bigheads
Shoty's 7/8" allen/Jessup/minilogo

This board feels right. I like it. Also this my first set of non-F4s in ages and I am super into how they feel on shitty/crusty ground.

[slutonparade]

Back to back AH Eagles



AH Eagle 8.5
Independent 149 Forged Ti w/ hard bushings and riptide pivot cups
52mm F4 tablets
Reds

[Junglist]

8.06” with 14.38” wb dlx shape

[FROTHY]

It's the most basic concept. Just print "REAL" on a board. Yet they managed to make it look like a 3rd grader designed these on an outdated version of powerpoint.

[TwisT]

I don't enjoy the graphic but they look better IRL. That looks like a computer-generated pic for the catalog

Sticker said 14 wheelbase and 31.9 length. I haven’t double checked it but it feels right

That seems really.... odd... that they're doing the exact same finishes as clutch. Like literally all of them in that picture are the same as the 2018 clutch catalog. Wonder if they're going the chapman route and just buying blanks and printing graphics?
