Great looking setup^

Those trucks were mine at one point haha.  Is that an 8.5?  I had the same board and loved it

How are you liking the mafia? I've always wanted got try one, the series your boards from as well as the Seinfeld knockoffs look great. I've  never really heard any feedback about them though. They're BBS pressed, right? How do you like it?

[Alotoflizards]

I'm considering buying a new setup.. 8.5 deck with 58mm conical wheels but I have no idea what truck size I should get.. Also, debating on inch or ace trucks.. seems like ace are harder to match with an 8.5..
Could someone please give me a suggestion? Thank you

I'd personally go with Ace 44's. You can put a few extra washers between the hangar and the wheels to push them out more and make it more or less indistinguishable from an 8.5 truck. But if you're someone who'd rather just set their shit up stock and forget about it then Indy's would probably be better.

They're great.  I just have to block out the fact that they could completely fall apart at any time haha.

They're the most stable trucks on the planet with the stock bushings which take forever to break in.  Once they're broken in, the turn is incredible

[French manicure]

So after about a month delay (apparently from awful snowfall/weather) my Killing Floor board arrived. I'm still gonna skate my current deck a little bit more since it isn't too messed up.  I can't wait to set this one up soon though.

well, i bought the trucks on the low for $30, and they were the 8.378 something trucks and not the 8.62's, so i looked for a board, and figured why not go with tech trucks and tech board, so i bought the borden p2 deck since it was the last one for cheap, got the replacement rictas in the mail, and that's how i ended up with a 3rd set up, but my next actual board though is gonna be a anti hero 8.85 x 33, right now im just debating what other shit im gonna order with it

The Tensor team roll with the mag baseplates and the standard hangers

yeah, im not planning on doing any sort of gap/stairs/drops with these tensors, i might ollie off a roof at the end of their lifespan to see if they shatter or something though. but besides that these shits are light as fuck

Thank you! Ended up getting the Indy 149 cause I already have a pair of 139s on my 8.. and they have so much history that I felt like why try out something new

its a bit more mellow than DXL boards which were the last 3-4 decks i had before this one. i think its bareback cause its got the "made in mexico/ skating can cause death" sticker. pretty good for me but then again man as long as a deck isn't really flat or really deep i consider it "good"

Don't  know about the 8.25, but I remember skating a few 8's back in 2013 and they we're in the long range from a width and wb perspective.

Man, you guys are super liberal with your rusty stickers! I put 1 on a board, trying to make them last.

Ahah you go through a lot more boards than us. I change a board in +/- 4 months since I cant skate that much, so I think I have stickers to last me some years ahah And I can always wear his shirt...

Anyway, 20matar, that's cool to see so many brazilian stuff in your set up. I know international (gringo) brands are really expensive there, that's why Brazil has such a big inner skate market isnt it?

Whatsup everybody? I'm kinda going crazy cause I ordered a pair of indy 149 and three 8.5 decks. Been looking at some pictures here but I'm not convinced that I made the right choice. What do you all think is better for the 8.5 decks? 149 or 159? I want it to be perfectly aligned just like my 139s are with my 8.0..
