Let me know if the paradox makes you more woke/skate better like they imply.

Slap has been a peculiar place since joining a few months ago. This thread takes the cake. I'm pretty sure I would feel immense amounts of intimidation if I saw somebody stroll by me on a board like this. 10/10, will look at this board every day for the rest of my life to keep my blood pressure low.

I thought "burn" meant to destroy with fire? Must be a typo.

that was indeed my intention , we needed a great equalizer to bring us back into homeostasis

Don’t you realize that there’s no going back?  You’d have better luck trying to unscramble an egg.

I have something coming tomorrow that will complete my dream setup. However I find it illogical to even upload a picture due to the aforementioned "situation". My life has taken an unsuspected turn.

This should have been the last post of the set up thread. We should have made a separate topic named, "Lesser Set-Ups of Mere Mortals" to post our shitty set ups.

I say we move this thread to Classic Slap and start a new one in Shoes & Gear. We have peaked as a message board and this post must be preserved.

If this thread is to remain intact with other lesser setups still posted it should be mandatory to quote our god so that He is never forgotten

I don't recall ever seeing anything like that before.

I remember seeing sth similar on those Kev's creations on CCS.
This is a serious scream for help.

[white guy in a durag]

If someone rolled up to me on that and challenged me to a game of skate, I'd just focus and go home.

You'd focus your board? Or theirs?

Mine, bro. I would never touch that board; there's no telling what someone riding that is capable of.

Steep/full kicks.  It took a moment to calibrate (and this is coming off of a Dwindle deck). First time on Clutch wood.  Feels good out of the gate; hope the pop lasts.

Remember in the movie The Elephant Man when Anthony Hopkins sees the Elephant Man for the first time and immediately starts crying?

It's like that.

Thanks man, I skated a ton of Girl 7.6s too, they broke pretty easy but I kept buying them.. flatground, ledges and curbs are all I really do these days.
