Very nice, how are you liking the riptide pivot cups? I'd like to buy a pair but they're too expensive where I live.

I’ve used them in Indy thunder tensor and venture and feel like they are worth it. I would say if you are ordering from some place that has a set it’s worth it to throw in and try

To be clear the third pic was an anti hero I snapped earlier today. The collage is crispy and new. This deck was pressed by United skate supply, California.

[jay_nev]

@MxsDx that top pic is so pure. Nice set up.

[Nth syd bear]

@MxsDx true I see that snapped board has a green top ply..

Graphic is an oldie but a goodie

Street Trash 8.375" x 31.75"
Ace 44
54mm tablets
Bop Shop "bop dont stop" ceramic bearings
Bop Shop grip

Deck is PS stix. Street Trash is one of the small local Colorado brands that 303boards sells and this is one of their most recognizable graphics. Theres actually a cool sabbath-esque purple swirl amongst the black but I couldn't get my phone camera to pick it up very well. Shape is interesting... Slightly FUN with the nose having a bit more taper than the tail. Nose is pretty steep but the tail is a classic mellow PS, so exactly what I like. Feels awesome on aces, the mellow tail and light PS pop balance and the mid height heaviness of the aces keep things very balanced.

Unfortunately I rolled the fuck out of my ankle trying to skate one of those creature cold press decks so im pretty much limited to slappies and the occasional heelflip at the moment, but this one is a keeper.

That photo makes it look like you have 10 year old 60mm wheels on a tiny deck - they're only 54?!

xpost big board thread

Set this up as if I'm in good condition to skate. It'll probably collect dust for a couple months, unfortunately. Such an unpractical shape, but it's fun to skate so who cares.





Uncut deck cut by me, 9.75" x 32.5" with 14.5" wb (currently learning how to cut deck shapes and then open an online shop hopefully in the near future. Drilling mounting holes is a BITCH)

Yo I thought the same thing! They're actually 56's originally but it's been 6 or 7 months. The past month or so has been winter skating in Michigan, which has contributed to the yellowing

Edit: @Ok They still have em in stock if you're curious! Buttfart wrote an excellent review here - https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=114587.msg3466503#msg3466503

trucks - tracker dart 184mm (no kingpin washers)

Yeah that size up on the wheels with the extra width makes them look more like my setups, older wider wheels just work so well for me, I often have people ask if I have so many things why am I skating onions / yellowed old wheels, but older yellow wheels just feel so much better, last longer, less issues with performance, etc.

The pic / wheels might look differently under other light too.

Definitely the 8.38 x 32.25 with 14.5 wheelbase - the size I like.

B2 so square ends and steeper concave too (more like FA / Hockey and similar boards)

How does it compare to your other decks, eg Krooked, Real, Freedom shop board?

Your video part was mighty fine too!

[Fletschinger]

Orchard shop deck 8.1” M1 mold (mellowish kick with normal concave)
5.2 low ventures
52mm 99a f4 spitfires
Bronze hardware. ALLEN HEAD ONLY
Swiss bearings

* I changed out the Ventura for 148 thunders and went down to 50mm f4’s.  Feels better.

I usually ride “flat as fuck” decks but wanted to get something a little steeper.  Took me a little to get used to but today seemed to feel the best. Great pop and very light wood.  I loved the old vehicle decks pre chapman, and was so hyped to see gangemi was pressing these.

Very relevant to my interests.

That is very nice, I love the black aces. They need deeper grind marks to look even better though, hope your ankle heals fast.

Polar 8”
Indy 139 Forged Hollows, aftermarket bushings
Bones Swiss 6
Formula 4 Classic 52 worn to 51 perfect shape
Gross 7/8” Allen hardware
Blazer Mid Premium

Only 1 session so far, but it feels absolutely perfect. Definitely like it more than the Pass~Port 8.25/149 combo I had and loved. Will be nice to get the Mid hangers to drop them just a tad lower.
