why does everyone ride REAL? It's so stupid that there are no DLX boards in shops in my country.

i like REAL because of the fatnose. The concave is great. I also can't get over how horrid some ofthe graphics look, so that brings me back to them everytime its new deck time.

The deck is pretty crisp.  I don't skate drops much since I'm 35 so I don't fear the crack/snap monster, but I could see how someone else might.  My mission is to relearn backlips on ledges before I retire this deck and move on to the next.

Anyone remember when anything 8 inches was considered a "vert" deck?

Anti Hero "It's the Wood" size large (8.5)
ACE 55
Spitfire TNT 58mm skate park formula
Dirty bearings (brand name)
Randumbs hardware

CTS skate lows, that are beat, about to stat skating my CTS mids.

58 mm is pretty huge, you must love skating bowl

I like 56mm but the day I got the wheels they didn't have any skatepark formula in 56mm. I got use to them, more wheel bite but fast as hell.

Roger board 8.5 (but measures more like 8.6)
Independent 149s with the bones bushings
frankenstein set of random bearings kids left in the shop with shields popped off.  they're actually pretty good
STF 55mm

The board is incredible,  the fresh one there will be my third.  Its long enough that a normal sheet of griptape doesn't quite make it all the way.

So you're riding ace 55s on an 8.5?  I have some 44s that I was going to set up,  you think they'll be too skinny?  do your wheels stick out at all?

Nice boards.  DLX is pretty much my favorite in the graphics department right now.

No way to go wrong! It's either shop decks or DLX all the way... and Indys with Bones bushings. Rides the whole family can enjoy!
