There 8.3 James Pintonyak
Ace AF1 55
Bones Swiss (might be counterfeits 'cause they don't spin)
Bones V2 53mm
Ace 7/8" allen only 4 'cause that's all you need to be a G (I'm hungover sorry)
Mob and Jesup

[close]

also, a bit strange having 55s on an 8.3

[close]

AF1 55 are 8.5 wide, so the wheels sit fairly well inside the deck width.  Ace 55 classics at 9" wide would stick out a mile though, just in case that was what you might have been thinking.

Back to 8.5" trucks, considering before 144s / 8.25" size trucks came out, many people rode 149s / 8.5" trucks on 8.25 size decks easily enough, especially with thinner wheels as per this setup.

I think now with more truck width options, people can get a lot closer to matching everything up more easily, but there will also be those people who always ride wider trucks, in the same way there will those who always ride more narrow trucks to deck size.


What wood is "There" skateboards using?

precisely

Ha yeah.

I have seen a board like that though.  The guy was adamant that his 169s would work perfectly on the 8.5" board he bought (purely for the graphic) but we could see the setup was a mess and tried to help him, but that is what he wanted.  I even offered to give him some new 149s to fit on it nicely, instead of the old 169s he was riding, but he wouldn't have it.

Even his mate who was there with him was shaking his head and laughing at him, but hey, that is ok. 

We can only do so much.

Did I mention I was hung over

I put the 55's on a Tired set up. Those are 44 classics

Sorry Slap

Coming off a long and repeating injury (torn Achilles, apparently it never really heels (pun not intended))

Very frustrating not getting to skate anywhere near as much as I’d like but I treated myself to some nice big 58mm spitfires to see what the fuss is about, looking forward to going out for a push

how you achieved only having half the bolts showing...

Those wheels make the deck look super tiny (or maybe it's because of the camera angle?), I love it

Hockey 8.5 Barnett #2 shape (as per FA website)
Venture 6.1
Spitfire classic 55mm

For those who wonder about the 8.5 #2 shape, it's nothing like the 8.44 #2 shape which is tapered but still have steep kicks like most other Hockey boards. This board has the exact same shape and steepness as the 8.5 blue Anti Hero eagle board. I know this because I have that board too. So it's basically a DLX (AH, Krooked etc.) 8.5 with the 14.25 WB.

What is the DUB sticker for? I love anything with a Kilroy on it.

[LebowskisRug]

It's for my side hustle. I make rock climbing holds out of hardwood. If you DM me ur address I can toss a few in an envelope when my new shipment comes in. The designer has done work for Thrasher, Maxallure, K2, etc.

I just gripped at "8.38" Grimple that's solidly an 8.5", so this tracks. Classic DLX sizing

Yo that's awesome. Do you have a site/spot to buy some holds?

[LebowskisRug]

dubgrips.com and IG @dubgrips. Right now I'm mostly doing custom orders but there are no minimums and maximums or anything like that.

those slide marks are a thing of beauty, as are the grooves on your trucks. are you a slappy guy?

[LebowskisRug]

Not really no. I do slappy nose, slappy crooks, and slappy switch nose as warmups and sometimes bonk a low ledge for fun. I was trying to re-learn switch fs boards and fs boards on ledges on this deck. Normal BS crooks are another warmup and go to for me and some days when I kinda suck I'll just do a shit ton of 50-50's and see how long I can hold em for. I had this deck for like 2ish months, retired the setup, then pulled it out of the closet 2 weeks ago and skated it again. It still had life left and I ended up figuring out it's basically the perfect shape for me so I ran it into the ground.

I'm really hyped to take this out for spin tomorrow

It would be even more funny if it had a DLX number stamp on top too, as per another brand deck I saw recently.

Not a worry either way, but sometimes I wonder if they didn't have too many of that shape cut, so they used them for other brands too.
