Nice setup  Where did you find Manderaon SFWs in F4? One of my favorite wheels but only ever seen them in classic spitfire urethane.

Thanks, sorry I wrong, My Bad, you're right buddy. it turns out this is a urethane classic.sorry about that. I found it at one of the local skateshops here. Condition is NOS, slightly yellowed on some sides but not a problem. they still have some hidden gems. like indy black bearings (coincidentally, it's hard to find in the country I live in, Indonesia)

I have some Riptide Pivot Cups and Bushings but these Indys feel so nice as is/factory flush.

Damn, sweet ride! Looks perfectly balanced.

Thanks. The Indys have the forged baseplates so they're lower than the standards and with the 3ply Real risers it bumps the axle height up to 56-57mm and it feels fucking crazy. Lots of ghost pop on the tail and a bit less off the nose but zero wheelbite. I'm not sure how long its takes to adjust to risers but I'm hoping to make it work.

Recent madness caused me to put together the biggest popsicle I’ve ever had. Skating a Cafe 8.25 and it just felt too small. Also wanted an excuse to try loopholes. Got the Crocketts on clearance from the vans website, even copped a second pair of the ‘incense’ colourway as theyve dropped even lower in price now.

If you don’t mind may I have a top shot of this setup. Been on the fence on this deck. Thanks ahead of time.

This is my second 9" Polar popsicle, as I really liked the wheelbase.



169s w/ Bones on Real risers, Diamond allen hardware.

55mm F4 Classics w/ Raws (gonna splurge on either Swiss or Ceramics soon tho and spoil myself) and Mob.

Love that more pals are rocking the loopholes!!!

Thank you @maggot cunt

That tail looks huuuuuuuuge!!!!

This board looks great for shuvit tricks. I can’t imagine doing a 360 flip on this thing but I don’t really do those anymore—old legs lack coordination...

And take it easy with the recovery.

yeah dude when i was gripping it i couldn’t differentiate the nose and tail! same on the tre’s - my 31 year old legs aren’t capable of such a feat

[DarkPools]

@Loki700 i am thinking the grip on the ATM is one of the Mob graphic grip tape sheets. I believe I had that exact design around 6-7 years ago on a board I had. I didn't mind it, but preferred traditional Mob over the graphic Mob after trying it. It's probably not as good as regular Mob because it's the graphic one, or it's an older sheet from wherever you got it?

[MysticalTypeExperience]

Sup gents. Been riding a cruiser type board since 2018:

Deck: Alien Workshop Dinosaur Jr. Give A Glimpse Old 8.75x32.54"
Grip: Mob Perforated Standard
Trucks: Independent Stage 11 159 8.75" Black/Silver
Wheels: Powell Rat Bones Wheels 90a 60mm White
Bearings: Bones Reds
Risers: Modus 1/8" blue
Hardware: Modus 1" Phillips

Just ordered parts for a street board:

Deck: Alien Workshop Exp Green 8.5x32.25"
Grip: Mob Perforated Standard
Trucks: Krux K5 Standard Polished 8.5"
Wheels: Orbs Specters Swirls 99a 56mm
Bearings: Bones Big Balls Reds
Risers: Krux 1/8" white
Hardware: Independent 1" Phillips blue anodized



I love blue shit. Sorry for the cheesy collage until I get the stuff and put it together. The deck is still huge since I'm 6'2" and love a bigger board, but should be a bit easier to trick on than the cruiser. Was considering going Indies again but I wanted to try a different truck and color coordinate everything (Sorry I hate the yellow bushings, don't hurt me). Was considering Spitfire F4 or OJ wheels after reading here, but in the end I said fuck it and went with the aesthetic matching blue swirls.

Dlx says its a 8.25x32, with a 14.38 wb...
Thank you man...

[Loki700]

@DarkPools, that sounds right but I wasn't sure if it was Mob or not.  The timing is about right too, I got the deck and grip a bit after I broke my foot in 2015 when I had decided that I was going to get right back at it once I healed up.  Then I proceeded to just have it sit around until around a month ago.

I'm assuming it's cause it's a graphic one.  It has very little grip to it compared to what I'm used to, and far less than I remember Mob having.

[GBLange]

Back on the loveseat this morning..such a fun shape.
Even more fun with 6.1 lites and risers. It's gonna take severe madness to stray from this setup.

awesome setup. thinking of getting venture 6.1 for the couch shape.

Haven’t had a roll on the yellow Cory yet (enjoying my FA set up too much) but the football version came in the mail yesterday. Thing is HUGE. I love it. 

Edit - I noticed on the yellow one the board dimensions were printed into the wood on top, but the football doesn’t. Been ages since I bought a Craig board so I’m out of the loop. Different wood?

I'm sure this has been asked a 1000 times but is the hockey 8 the same shape as the FA 8? So 14 wheelbase?
