The Set-up Thread

couldn't do a 875 after riding 3 9's in a row. the switch in wheelbase was a killer.

anti hero 9x33.25 15" wheelbase
169 raw with stock indy bushings, no bottom washer
formula 4 conical full 56 99a probably 54mm now
reds
jessup
blazer mid and bruin

Love these bigboi popsicle setups you have... what type of terrain do you skate?

im going the opposite.  while I loved the Polar 8.75 shorter wheelbase than the 8.5, it's just too much board under my feet.  going back down to an 8.5 Polar...until later when I may try out the 8.5 AH with the 14.25 wheelbase.

That Numbers graphic is actually kinda cool. Much better than their launch Windows '95 lookin boards.

pretty much just parks with tranny and many pads/boxes. ill skate some street like curbs and two stairs lol. big pools are my favorite. you wont see me do a flip trick other than a shuv it, but I still like to try. flatbars are fun too. I figured my lack of flip tricks was due to a heavy setup, but ive landed three heelflips in my entire 10 years skating, and they all came on a 9 inch anti hero setup, so weight must not be the problem. you mostly skate tranny?

[shit_for_brains]

Cinci aren't you insanely large also? Like 6'7" or something

6'6", about 230 but i lose weight over the summer when i stop drinking beer and start drinking water, actually going to try and go sober for good. college sure makes trying to go sober a bitch, lets see how these next semesters go

i mix it up. being 42 and living in portland- i mostly skate bowls and so on but i do try and get out for some 'low-impact' street skating... landed a 360 flip today (on flat)... pretty stoked. i find wheelbase and wheel size is more important for flips... so i enjoy wider decks and trucks also.

I haven't had a drink in four years so you can certainly do it.

congrats man, things like that give me reason to believe it's possible. just thinking about the money and time saved without it gives me such a good feeling

I'm curious to hear how you like the Wayward's.  Also, is the turn on the 148's consistent with 149's?  I know the height and everything is the same. I'm considering trying out both soon even though F4's and Indy's have never done me wrong.

I'm seriously in love with the way that shape looks. I'm trying so hard to not buy one because I don't need another deck at all but god damn I think I'm going to cave.

How are those shield-less Bronson's Steve? I know you heavily back the Race Reds so surprised to see you with those bronsons considering the bad rep they've gotten on here. How you liking those 148's ?? I found my perfect truck with those! Sick set up

I'll be able to report back after this weekend.  First impressions from a quick 15 minute session is that the bearings are legitimately fast as hell, the wheels feel similar to Ricta NRG to me and the 148's have the same feel and turn as Thunder 149's.  I'll follow up after a few more sessions

funny thing is that palace has been recently having a dig at numbers' graphic designers while their graphics are equally as atrocious

"Try hard"  I could give a shit about something being "core" or not. I can't stand Numbers based on the fact that Koston is a tremendous douche, and we all are aware of it.
