The Set-up Thread

[pile]

getting back into skating so used some old parts and bought a couple new things.. i have no preference for boardsize and stuff so grabbed a variety of things to see what works



this is one i use to practise its a wide krooked with my old krux and rictas and some cheap element bearings that i will prob replace to something a little better..

for shoes i like the accel still

god damn, cool collection. how old is that so hip/alien deck?

[Nora9]

they are both new the so hip was $40 and pressed in the same shape as krooked/real/antihero from what they told me. the alien workshop is some reissue that i had to grab just for how it looked its probably my favorite graphic at the moment.

[pile]

saw a young man skating this on the weekend. it also had some extremely old looking thunders, and john rattray blueprint wheels.

[Dr. Octagon]

whoa^^^^

on that note I saw an Erik Ellington Baker board in the wild recently. Not sure how people still are skating these things.

there was a classic/ baker 3 series one or two seasons back- it also includes the baker 3 videograb board of greco fighting the security guard. the series says baker 3 on the bottom but has the deathwish print on the top.

Can someone give me some Generator/Bareback options for an 8.5 with a short WB?

I'm loving this Polar 8.75, mainly because it has a WB of 14.375 and not the 14.5WB of their 8.5 deck...

Thanks in advance for help Pals

I never really paid attention to the B16 discussions on here...but now that they may affect my own board choices, I can see that it truly is a magical shape. 

any idea on the size of the nose/tails on the B16 vs. the AH Eagle 8.5?

Tail: 6.5"

AH - 8.5 Eagle
Nose: 7"
Tail: 6.625"
