18 BA Pro Shape Deck
Ace Stage 2 55's none 3/8 axel nuts (Sticking with the stiff stock bushings to see if the pivot cups still blow out/gonna take awhile to break-in)
F4 99a Conical Full 56mm's
Bone's Race Reds (Very Impressed by the way they work and the fact that i can screw the nut till it's tight)
Shorty's Lights 7/8's
Mob Black & Clear Grip

really liking the slip-on pro's with the ollie cap but i think i do my ollie's weird and i see more tear towards the collar and the garter straps that keep your foot locked.

How close are you to Le Tampon

[close]

Le Tampon is in the wild south, i'm in the north, almost 100km...you know people here ?
 

[close]

No I just googled it to see where the island was and saw there's a place called Le Tampon and it made me giggle.

My friend lives near Cock Pond and there is a road outside of Melbourne called Tittybong Rd. The guys from the Inbetweeners did a 24 hour tour of places with rude names for a charity appeal one year that had some funny results.

Pivot cups on mine are still going strong. Pretty sure they improved the quality or maybe I just got lucky.

How do you like isle boards, i just got my first one but have to destroy my palace first before setting that one up. They are generator wood right?

[mariomister]

giving away my old set up to a kid for christmas, so i put a brend new set up.

Polar P1 AH
Thunder Light 149mm
Pvlsar bearings abec 7
Haze wheels Inferno Formula 52mm Conical
Ashes griptape
Screwhead Hardware

Dekline Tim Tim Slip on.

[PAL/SECAM]

Yes Generator, so far the first one was really great, I had a Real board same size before and it didn't make a lot of difference. As an "Euro" guy, supporting a UK brand and feeling riding a deluxe board is perfect and I bought it for 36 euros so no complaining allowed.

Current set ups by jefchoy

I procured another set of TIH's and I set up a board to skate rougher stuff and well...because everyone else has wider set ups....

Like the idea of almost having the exact same board but wider.....

8.5 Kevin Bradley
Theeve tih's w. Gullwing kingpins, bones bushings
81b SPF's 54's
Race reds

8.0 FTC : ps stix wood
Theeve tih's (still skating them Seamus!) gullwing kingpin, bones bushings
Bones STF 53's
Race reds

I skate rubber risers because I get wheel bite and I had to angle grind down the kingpins because they are old stock, couldn't get em perfect....

Flight board will replace the FTC board....

Even mids
Huf classics

[shit_for_brains]

So you're the guy who bought the Powell board. They've been wondering who it was.

[j....soy.....]

Someone else is skating one....I wanna set it up but the weathers been shit and there's still some life in the FTC board.

It might get the best of me though....

love the nose shape on that, up to my third or fourth one. enjoy Moe

[MOE SYZLAK]

The shapes are way different, the northern co is a standard popsicle, a little steeper concave than other ones I've ridden. The welcome is really square more shallow concave.

The northern co shapes are nothing like quasi. The one I have is south central pressed. The new ones are Penns, so I'd compare them to scumco but more mellow

They are literally sold out across the board. Most of the sales were direct on SO so I was told (obviously skate shops would be reluctant to dip too heavy on $80 unproven 2000s bonite).

I got the 'wonky' 249 shape it's like a sloppy B16, there is something about the nose at the kick, it just looks odd - but I love everything else about it...concave weight, pop, 14.375 WB (though it's on an 8.5, even with the powell taper)...How is the 'full' shape? I'm waiting on picking up an 8.25".

Don't ride one, if you do, going back to a regular deck takes some getting used to. They all feel like walmart boards. Bulky and sluggish.

[j....soy.....]

Do they last longer as advertised?  I can see if you break boards they might but chronic razor tailers?  I'll put it to the test....

Don't own one but, honestly that is the only problem with thin boards. They razortail much faster

I said it a a few posts back, anyone with a manual game (and especially those without) will tear through these. If they're marginally harder it still won't stop shit terrain from tearing through them. I can see bowl/vert riders (T.Mag) getting off on these but they don't care about weight anyway...or durability really, well maybe the bowl guys and they were made for street, lighter stronger....

Then you have REAL Heavyweights...thicker? Stronger, heavier...who asked for this? Schroder on payroll now? Were people breaking DLX wood so badly we needed this?

Thinner, lighter, stronger, razor tail
Heavier, stronger

Looks like the ole'7 ply is still King (well P2s anyway
