That old Chick Fil A man hates the gays but I know a good chicken sandwich when I see one.

I like the Numbers video edits they've put out so far but I don't care for the name, graphics and haven't cared about Koston in 20 years.  I buy boards because of the shape and dimensions.  This one is on point for it's indented purpose

The day all that shit broke, like when all those rednecks lined up for miles around Chick-fil-a's, a coworker of mine who is gay came into to work with a huge bag of chicken sandwiches and waffles fries.

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

At least Palace has SOME sort of creative effort with their deck graphics.

I can't stand Numbers based on the fact that Koston is a tremendous douche

The board is sick Steve. I just picked up that exact deck.

[Noble Experiment]

Been a while since I set up a new one. Made myself a promise that I was gonna skate my old board til it was dust and I'm a man of my word. It was so chipped and soggy that Ive been wanting to switch it out for a while now but I roughed it out. It finally snapped last night on a fs flip attempt, I was stoked.

Girl risers work nicely with Aces? I've only had Indy risers and they're too big for Aces. Got any other suggestions for raisers with Aces?

Also Aces with 54 mm wheels and raisers? I feel like I pretty much can't get wheelbite with Aces with 54 mm wheels without raisers even if I try.

I'm using modus risers on my Ace 66's but I'm not sure what you consider too big.

I like the girl risers because they are hard plastic so they don't stick on slides.
I skate my trucks loose and I have always liked a higher set up.

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

[close]

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

I'm a fan of the G3s but cannot for the life of me consider spending $10 more over the G3s (better yet $11 more over Super Reds...and hell For $8 more you can get swiss fucking six balls) for a lack of shields and "Audible speed technology" on the raws it's worse than "'Balls Out" technology - terrible marketing gimmick shit - my shieldless andale 7 are loud and seemingly fast enough. That said, curious as to how they hold up!

I still flip flop on wheels, running wayward and bones more often now due to shape, and ricta - I find the ricta to grippier than wayward but for some reason I'm really liking stfs for some reason.

Numbers setup looks rad, what's the top look like? WB dims?

Probably my favorite of all the States i have skated so far. This pair is my 3rd.
they fit TTS, I love them, the flick is great, the grip is great and they are good to go straight out of the box. I back them 100%

Toe box looks narrow/very cons like - I need some mids/highs - are they pointy/narrow?
