Are you only skating metal coping? How are your trucks ground down but also so smooth? I'm genuinely intrigued.

Also, sick looking setup.

I have a friend that cleans his wheels and trucks every time he sets up a deck and if you zoom in you can see grooves and shit. His trucks look similar to my friends. It's weird that wheels never get fully clean.

Polar
8.625" X 32.2"
Nose: 7.0"
Wheel Base: 14.375"
Tail: 6.55"

[free] Jessup
7/8 allen bolts

Royal 159 (ultra hollow axle/IKP)
Krux 92a bushings (perfect match)

BONES STF 50mm (ish?) V3 103a
BONE Swiss Six

NIKE PS8 - fit a bit long and there is some weird shit going on with the crease area
Lace Locks (my new OCD, I love them on everything).

--

Super comfy but it doesn't feel big, feels like a fat 8.5. The ease of krooks is out of control with this setup big nose/wide trucks/skinny wheels); crazy pinch...it's almost stupid.
So do these shoes run big/did you size up, or do you have extremely narrow feet? Was thinking about checking a pair of these out. But no way could I look down at that. The eye stays are almost touching.

hurrrrr

easy on, easy off, like with your mom.

I have a friend that cleans his wheels and trucks every time he sets up a deck and if you zoom in you can see grooves and shit. His trucks look similar to my friends. It's weird that wheels never get fully clean.

I've got a buddy that cleans his wheels (spray cleaner on a rag) after each session before he puts is board in his car. Weird.


So do these shoes run big/did you size up, or do you have extremely narrow feet? Was thinking about checking a pair of these out. But no way could I look down at that. The eye stays are almost touching.

Since you didn't comment like a chapped cunt low-self esteem wannabe bully using an alt account...yeah they are very narrow shoes, my buddy got a pair (safaris) and hates how narrow and long they are (you could probably go down 1/2 size), he ditched them the first day after an hour or so.

Even if you lace them normally, they eyelet rows are very close together, moreso when you tighten them down, like the Nyjah3 the uppers are very pliable...for reference here's a pic of the 440v2 in WIDE, normal lacing and snug to my foot.

Dude I'm 32 years old. Most likely younger than you. You don't have to get butt hurt over some extremely tight shoes.

My bad, I thought only old people yelled in all caps or someone immature looking for attention did.  Def not butthurt, my crew and I love how you all take the bait.

Oof there's some funny jokes about those laces but that's pretty low Dolphy. As someone who lost his mother quite young I would recommend deleting that one.

You should, its fun. The only thing i would warn someone sizing down is WB, that shit matters alot when sizing down. Most 7.75 boards have a small wb 14" and below. Let's say if you skate boards with 14.5 wb on indys and switch to a 775 or 8 with a 14 or 13.8 and use indys, you're going to tip back or slip out on your board a lot!

Even when I skate thunders on 7.75 with 14, i tend to pop smoother and consistent but landing i slip out a lot. But as soon as i switch to ventures i slip less. In short, sizing down from a bigger wb, ride ventures or trucks to elongate the wb.

I'm 5'9" with size 13 shoes for reference.

I have these delusions of commitment to a single set up for the foreseeable future, but I’m sure I’ll still screw around with different set ups. A slimmer set up looks appealing.

Wait, black magic grip is still around? Damn I gotta call my homie, he still speaks highly of that grip. He would be so stoked if I gift him that for the first after christmas session in the ikea parking garage.

My order from Thank You Supply finally came.
New Deal Ed Bullman
Ace classic 44
Quantum metallics
Sml XL V-Cut 54mm
Bender Allen
Jessup

How are the aces on this board?

I’m wondering if I need yet another pair of trucks to fit this deck and been thinking about either ace af1 55 or ace classic 44. The classic 44s a good size? Wondering how much magic carpet there is, if any.

nothing's been the since same
