Met Ryan Townley at the skatepark, he was super cool and his "shape" was similar to the Polar P2 so I wanted to give it a shot. Had to include the top shot, I love a heptagonal ass shaped board

Welcome Townley 8.5 Enenra Shape
Ace Af1 55 Lows w/ Hard Bushings
Quantum Isotopes
Spit F4 Leo Baker Radials 53mm
Santa Cruz Slimline Rails
Pepper Galaxy

super interesting shape on that one. It's almost like a modernized Barnyard

Was fortunate enough to be gifted a new Patty Praman Pro plank in the oh so lovely DLX 8.38 x 14.5 shape.
Same AF1 hollow 55s & F4 99s in the 54mm Conical cut that I ran on the last popsicle.
Bones Swiss, natch.
Shortys or maybe Roughneck (can’t recall which) hardwares.
The big chunk of grip is a bit of Jessup I had lying around & the rest of it is actually  off-cut/scraps of stair tread adhesive traction strips that I had left over from some porch work a while back.
Hodge-podge grip job is prolly gonna suck.
Don’t care; I plan on “getting rad” w/ it, regardless.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

That is a rad setup and a sick grip job. And I am jealous of that social distance sticker. Not necessarily because of Covid but because I don't like it when strangers stand too close to me.

How is the 5Boro? I just spent a week in NYC and sort of regret not picking up a board.

I think the P2 got caught up in the polar shape updates, I couldn't get that thing to flip over. Now I'm back to my comfort setup.

You should, they're great.  My only regret is not buying up more of the Krux DLKs before they changed the design to be more like the Indy IKPs.

Nice!

Sitting on the same stack of boards here including a couple more of the Tanner and a few of these white ovals.

Was that the blue oval 8.5 you were talking about?  Interesting but at least now you know what the shorter shape feels like as well.  Some people love them, but some prefer the longer 8.38 (which is wider through the back end anyway).


I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

well shit, it seems like i'm becoming a wheelbase guy. This deck pretty much has identical dimensions to the BBS blanks i've been riding, except the wheelbase here is 14.3 instead of 14.6, and my flip tricks feel so much easier!
Enjoi 8.6" Enzo bought during the holiday clearances, which i sanded and sprayed
Ace AF1 Low hollow 60s
Spitfire F4 50mm 99a lil smokies classics
Quantums
Acer titanium hardware (will probably need to get some new nyloc for the next use)
generic free grip, might be jessup?
