I didn't plan on posting a setup but considering all the other eagles people are posting I felt obligated to share mine.

Indy 149 Standards w/ Bones Hards
Spitfire 52mm F4 99a Classics
Quantums
Mob
Vans Skate Half Cab

I've been tryna hold off on buying another olive eagle until I go through a few decks I have stocked but this put me over the edge.. I love this shape. +1 from me, nice eagles y'all

Not sure if I should say “Sorry” or “You’re welcome” but hope you enjoy it! I do love the shape; the 14.5” wheelbase is so comfy. It’s stamped II and I’m finding the concave to be perfect.

Hey man! Could you describe or compare the shape of the cash only deck?

Sorry jumping in on this one, but I had looked at these recently.

From a shop I know:


Cash Only - Mouse Deck - Blue

8.25" x 32"
WB: 14.25"

8.5" x 32.25"
WB: 14.5"

Manufactured by BBS/Generator


The couple of 8.25 boards I saw recently were the usual BBS wood, good "normal" popsicle shape and concave.

I keep an Eagle at my mom’s house for when I visit, but unfortunately I won’t be there until December so I cannot contribute to this page.

If you tell us the size we can visualize it.

8.25" with some completely axled 144s and a pair of Spitfires of a shape I cannot recall (it has been a year).

Yeah, imagine that with very, very worn out Indy Standard 144s. Bolts are Allen key, grip is the black kind. Bearings are probably a hodge-podge.

Got caught in a thunderstorm and board got completely drenched.

Hopng my bearings are fine, but they definitely need a cleaning when I can get to it.

Thanks! Interesting little brand.

Set this up on a whim today cause my regular workshop 8.75 starting feeling a bit cumbersome on flat. Got the itch to size down after skating an old Sandoval krooked deck in my stack on 149 thunders that I thought was 8.5 but really a 8.38. Swapped out the forged plates for some cast. Hope venture start making the 6.1 team hollows.

It was real flat and mellow. Made by BBS so probably not that hard to find something similar. Personally it was too flat for me once it started getting flexy

How are you liking the 1991 jr?  I am tempted to pull the trigger on this one.

Liking it so far, the tapered kicks makes the board feel smaller than 8.75". My 8.5" Black Label boards felt bigger with its fuller kicks.

I wish the tail was just a bit longer, but that's a personal thing. It's a good shape nonetheless.

this setup looks so good! you think 151s would work also or are 149s the way to go? definitely don't want a hot rod

I like 149s for this but I’ve been into slight magic carpet setups lately. You’d be hot rodding the back truck slightly on 151s probably. I think it tapers to around 8.38 in the back and 8.6 in the front based on some quick measuring

This thing is harder to skate than I expected, but still fun

[Fifty8mm]

DOA 7.5 with a sheet of mini logo grip. Socal skateshop slacks at shipping out orders so had to use mini logo instead of jessup or black magic. I get my stuff faster from Orchard skateshop on the other side of the country. Shout out to Cowtown as well. Two of the best shops in the country, maybe the world.

Independent lows stock
Spitfire classics 51mm
Bones swiss 6 (3 or 2 years old) cleaned twice or thrice a year.
Bronze hardware

Jordan 3s still holding up and getting better every session.

It’s crazy how long it takes SoCal to ship orders. I ordered some bushings and they didn’t ship them until 5 days after I put in the order. Cowtown is my local and they’re great; nothing but good experiences with them.
