Finally able to post pictures again so here are my green rides on my green flatbar.

Main setup I've been riding for 1-2 months now:

8.3 Krooked Worrest twin
Ace low 55, stock bottom, bones medium top
1/10" mini logo riser pads
Stf 99a v3 54mm
Mini logo bearings
Not really wheel wells

My mental health setup that I ride on bad days without stressing to push myself. Just getting outside and roll, do stupid little tricks. On days like that I usually wouldn't skate because I'd just disappoint myself, this helped a lot:

9.25 Couch
57mm oski radials 99a f4
Ace 66
Shake junt night train bearings
Wheel wells

[Fhk]

Hockey 8.25
Bobby’s 5.6 Ventures
56mm classics
Jessup

My OCD is triggered by your griptape cut. 
I remember when someone turned up with this board at my local mini-ramp back in 1990.  Everyone crowded around him and were lusting after the graphics. I remember the moment so well and I always wanted one but they were very scarce here in London.  I managed to pick up one of the reissues but can't bring myself to skate it.

Money is tight and I had this one in the stack so I’ve gotta run through this one before I can justify getting some decks I’d actually want

I dig it! Man I wouldn’t mind trying this size out, I’m just not sure if I want to stretch to 15” WB. I’m riding my second standard 14.5 WB 8.5 DOA and love it. But that extra foot room would be nice….

Also that Deer Man ride is sick!

Yeah it was a pain trying to find one cheap here in Australia so I had to get one from the jk industries site itself. I think this is the 3rd one I’ve set up, they are a dream to skate and the graphic is so so sick
