The Set-up Thread

[Jd82]

Thanks for your input.
I tried some  bones slims on the auby taylor with the ace 66 and indy 169. Either truck is great but I'm leading more towards the ace over the indys.
I like the feel of the ace. Maybe its all in my head

Fair play to your kid

The crayon looks really good on the grip.

Never thought I'd say that

You should have said it was Gonz painted it and made a decent buck on ebay. Just kidding, looks sick. I need to ask my godson who is also 4 to do a crayon job on my grip.

Nice. I put together a board for my friend's 4 year old and painted the bottom of the deck with a chalkboard surface spray paint and he drew all over the griptape too.

[funeral_tuxedo]

@shpongle nice. I built a board for my friend's 4 year old from an old Toy Machine cruiser I found in the trash. It was basically fine except one of the wheels was cored like an apple, the aftermarket bushings in it were upside-down and blown out, and it had toy graffiti all over the underside and grip. The trucks were Indy 149 Stage Xs so I just replaced the busted aftermarkets with my own bones bushings and got some old wheels from a friend. I sanded, re-gripped, and spray painted the bottom with Krylon chalkboard surface spray so he could draw on it and make his own kid graphics - so he decided to color in the entire new grip job with sidewalk chalk. Ha. I had written down all the board specs and then promptly lost them so that's that.

Gangemi Orchard deck 8.1 14"wb M1 black magic grip
Venture 5.2 with supercush greens
Spitfire f4 classics 53 mm shrinked down to 50mm. Small and wide. Also two washers inside of the wheels. Pushout the wheels to be closer to flush with the deck.
Swiss six
Diamond hardware.

I tried the deck first with indy mids 144. Did not work on the 14" wb. The board felt off but went back to old faithful , venture lows, and fuck does it feel nice.
My indy mids feel great on DOA flat though.

 And i seem to skate way better in shelltoes.  Pro models and puffy tongue superstars only though. Hate that thin tongue "80s" superstars.. So unstable.

[SneakySecrets]

 Very Jackson Pollock

[matty_c]

The crayon is rad

Got this from a mate today he does his own stuff, bbs footy shape but the tail is a bit more shovel than I am used to
It’s good tho

Your not alone with skating better in shelltoes..I try every other shoe but my flick is never as good as they are with shelltoes.

Thanks. This set up is one of my favorites because of Robbie Gangemi. Saw a clip of him recently. Bs smiths still as beautiful as the 90s.

Looks awesome on the grip! I might have to let me 3 year old nephew do the same on one of my next set-ups he would have a blast!

Lovely setup

What color is the ply underneath the graphic?

Hopefully a nice bright yellow. Would look real cool when slid off
