Found this deck in storage. I think I got it for like $30? I just wanted to try a shaped board. I don’t have time to go to a shop for another set of trucks so I’m riding that magic carpet.

I Have this same deck with snot rails. 9in krux and 60mm slimeballs will LEDs in them.

Setup almost a Christmas complete to try out the T2s.
Jacuzzi 8.5 14.5wb
Thunder T2 149s
Bones Swiss
F4 Conical 54mm x Minus
Minus x Pepper grip

Got about an hour session in this morning on the T2s.  They're fun, and I was able to acclimate to them after about 20 minutes.  But they're not going to be replacing my AF-1 hollows.

Can't blame ya on wanting to stick with aces but HOT DAMN the bushings and the wheels hitting w the wheel well plies. This is a beautiful looking setup. Are those the 35th N wheels?

[Gene_Harrogate]

Yeah this one really came together nicely.


No these are from Minus in Indianapolis, they were also at the trade show

The Dilo 8.5s are always my go to.  I love the shape, they're 14.5 wb, and always have wheel wells.  Plus DSM wood is my favorite.

*NEW TECH SETUP* 📡 💻

 • frog 7.75”X31.5” 14”WB
 • venture 5.0 lo hangers (solid axle) with V8 baseplates. front truck is pushed in, so WB is 13.75” or so.
 • Indy soft bottom bushings (78a) slappy top bushings (85a)
 •spitfire F4 classic wheels 50mm 99a
 •bones reds I think?
 •mini logo 2mm shock pads
 •slappy 1” allen bolts. this hardware is pretty sick. the bolt heads are textured to prevent glare. they blend in with the grip and almost look like they’re not there.

Wasn't sure where to put this cause I posted my board already recently in here..

Chopped up some stickers from my Thrasher tie-dye with a Bison on it and the box my decks came in. Representing feral sharts out here

Shame on all of you for not pointing out the beautifulness of that graphic.
Lovely Girl vibes from when the team looked cool because there was no social media.
Kudos Moe, kudos.

How is the DBX board vs a normal DLX board?

Pretty similar. Lighter and I would say it’s retained that snappiness. Got this as soon as they dropped and this is the second time I’ve had it setup and I popped a solid Ollie over this waist high ball off a bump at skatepark here after all this time.

Ebay.
Got 13 of em. But they are the impact ones. Surprised how much i loved it. One thing to note is that some had the disc off centered, some had gloss(sealed) and others looked like they never went through the sealing face (no gloss). The truck holes are true and centered though.
