Totally a win from me (as in that is what I ride) but yeah, just such a good size, shape, same trucks, wheels, etc too.

Venture 5.6 standard (shout out to iusedtoskatemore)
Bop Shop 52mm wheels
Pusher bearings
Bop Shop grip

Went to check out Radio (owner of scumco's new shop) for the first time and this caught my eye because it's one of the new wknd shapes - 8.25" x 31.25" with a 14" wb. Concave is on the mellow side of medium and kicks aren't very steep so it seemed like something I'd like. Interested to find out how it skates but of course we have a snow storm rolling through today so I'm going to be limited to screwing around in the basement.

Radio is a really awesome little shop. They took over when overcast closed and have a really good board wall and shoe selection, lots of smaller brands. Definitely worth checking out if you're passing through Pittsburgh or looking for a core shop to order online from. Also they should have the new line of PS stix Scumco boards next week, there's some really awesome graphics in this run and if it's the same as the last run there'll be like 6 different shapes, so something for everyone.

Just took it for a spin and it’s feeling good! Can’t wait to get a good sesh in on it but probably won’t be for a while. The 10 day forecast is showing a decent amount of snow and cold temps for good ol south jersey

Yes they "updated it" to the 288s but now you can find the same sole on the Westgate 508

I Love these ACE trucks and the Nomad 97a wheels so far feels perfect for the cold weather and always damp atmosphere of the PNW winter. Might need to add some 1/8" risers though.

Haven't skated the wheels yet, but had a hard time getting use to the smaller shape. Only skated it for an hour tho. Might go back to the drkrm 8.375, or try an 8.25 with a 14.25 wb. Love the graphic tho.

So...
Yesterday, about 7/8ths of the way through a session, I snapped the tail off of the 8.5” Clutch Z4 blank I had set up. I was on the other side of the bay & didn't have a 2nd set up w/ me, so I was a little bummed that I was going to call it quits, as I was still trying to get a combo-trick when I broke my deck on a flatground ollie.
The good homey, Ori from Florida, had an unused, but already gripped, Blockhead Hard Times deck in his trunk. He handed it over without reservation & told me to go land that shit. I set it up on the spot & handled business, despite the complimentary extra 1/4” of wheelbase that came with the free deck. THANK YOU, Ori. I owe you one.
I don’t know the dims, and I didn’t bother to measure anything beyond the WB (14.75”) and the width over the trucks (to insure I wouldn’t be “magic carpeting too much with these Thunder 149s. About 8.7” over the front truck, & 8.5” over the rear, so good to go.
Put in about 15-20 minutes on it so far & the turn felt crazy slow/lazy compared to the 14.5” WB I had been on moments prior, so much so that I swore up & down that it must be a 15” WB, but when I got home the tape said otherwise.
Threw a few stickies & some paint (via stencil) on there when I got home & here it is, while it lasts.


Blockhead Hard Times 8.8”(?)
Thunder Team Edition 149s
Spitfire F4 Conical 54mm
Bones Swiss
Some old Shortys or Roughneck hardware (I dunno, not really keeping track)
Unknown grip that was already on there.
