The Set-up Thread

[CBP]

Looks good!

What do you normally ride, as in transition, parks, curbs, street, everything?

Some kids I skate with always trip out on my bigger boards like that, but when they realise how much fun they are, they never want to give it back.

Fresh!

I'm trying to find a nice 8.75/9" that ISN'T 32.5/33"+ long for some curb crushing. Wish the BLabels were shorter. I just can't do long boards.

Thanks guys!

I skate everything but mostly street and curbs.

I feel a lot more cramped on this board than I did on the 8.75 eagle I was riding before it so I might have to break out the tape measurer to double check dimensions.

I should have jumped on those Creature 8.8" Stumps (31.9" with a 14.25WB) but wasn't in the market then.

My pile of boards is dwindling. Saving the best for last.

Wanted to reduce the amount of money I spend on skateboarding so now I'm preferring local brands since foreign ones prices went up like crazy due to covid.
Sunrise boards are pretty good, Clutch I believe, but this particular one had a hideous graphic so I spray painted it.
8.5 x 32
WB: 14.17
Nose: 7
Tail: 6.53

Sweet mother of god I hate this boards. Too much concave and super steep kicks

Did someone say steep kicks and concave?!?
Which clutch shape is this? Thought of doing an 8.5 and these dims are similar to that of a smaller board, which is rad.

[Richard Skidder]

Been a long time since I've set up a new deck. Don't get to skate much and rarely break any of my gear. But the last two slams I had gave that deck a bad vibe, so I'm excited to set up something new for Spring.

8.25 Polar (the older 8.25 shape with the 14.25wb)
Thunder 149 (aftermarket blue bushings: 95a, I think)
F4 Radial Slims
Bones Swiss, Mob, Shortys

Love this graphic. Radial Slims probably balance the truck width to deck width nicely.

One more 917 for page 917:



Cyrus Bennett 917 8.38
Venture Vlight 5.8
Speedlab Slappy Hour 56mm

Please ignore my crappy sticker job.

Bought a christmas complete since I left my setup where I used to live and didn't feel like driving 8 hours up and down to get it. First session was fun, just some flatground/manny pad in a parking garage since it's getting nicer here in the Quebec, but still not exactly great skating weather.

8.5 shop deck

Got the cheapest setup I could get, since I'm going to make the drive to go visit my folks at the end of the month and I have some almost new Spitfires with bones reds on my old setup. Still not sure if I'll keep skating the indys or if I'll go back to my old Ace 44s, but it'll do for now.

Fixed it for you.

Board looks so good with the Radials, especially worn down some like that but I am a wide wheel kinda guy.

[Roger Mexico]

Love this graphic. Radial Slims probably balance the truck width to deck width nicely.

Yeah, I feel like Polar graphics are increasingly hit-or-miss these days, but the classics always hit. I've enjoyed the radial slims a lot. The wider riding surface helps on the east coast crust, but it's not a huge chunky wheel. A lot of my best skating was done on 7.75s with 139s (136s?), so that .25" difference feels pretty natural to me.

Weather's real nice in Maryland. Set up a crisp deck to go enjoy it.

I know some skate these shapes on the regular, but I needed to replace my beat to shit cruiser. Trackers were rusty and wanted to see what some aces would feel like

How does the board feel to flip and do ollies etc. ? I usually run 159s on 8.5 but I love ace turn. Just feel like 55s are a little too wide. I'm curious how they feel for you. Also those sours are like 14.1 wb right?

It was marked 14.2", but measures 14.25". Haven't skated them on this board but was running them on the chocolate (also an 8.5" with a 12.25" WB). 

Really liked them on the chocolate. My ollies, and particularly switch ollies, have been a lot higher which I credit to the stability during setup. Heelflips (my only flip trick) have not been over rotating which is one of the reasons I wanted to try them.
