The Set-up Thread

[oyolar]

Bought this a few weeks ago from Fos because I kept leaving a comment asking for this shape every time they posted a pic of the Shovelegg on IG.  It's a sample of a new shape they're trying: shovel nose, egg tail.  I think they're calling it the Egghead?  Pretty stoked on it.  It's wider than my usual size and my trucks but once I got used to the squirrelly feeling, it got super fun.

I think the name is shovel egg, wanted to try that egg shape or any 90s football shape.
 
Would love to hear an update on how that board rides!

[oyolar]

Nah, this is the opposite of the Shovelegg.  The Shovelegg is egg nose, shovel tail.  This is shovel nose, egg tail.

Just bought that same deck during the same sale. Waiting on trucks and wheels now. Quick question, what is up with the 1 rail? No one I know does it and I cannot figure out the advantage...Also do you put in on your heel side rail? Does effect front boards at all if so?

[144p]

If you don't skate rails or never skated them, it's tough to explain.
2 rails is pretty damn fast, having one on your toe side helps with feebles and gives you somewhat of a brake, slides faster than no rails but not icy quick as 2.
I never noticed a lopsided feeling and it seems to really bug most people(like yourself).
I do prefer 2 rails though.

[Lorn Au Arcos]

Thanks, makes sense. Never tried it so can't say it feels lopsided or not. I was just curious since it seems to be something i see more and more. Nobody I skate with does it so just never had any insight on the difference it makes.

Haven't posted a new setup for a bit, not much changes for me from one board to the next.

I went down to 8 for fun.

Is FA/Hockey fully BBS now? Some of the Hockey boards I've seen didn't have the PS stix laser engraving.

Good to hear, bought a set for 8 bucks on the sw sale. This could be the go to if it works out well. So cheap.

Every one I've ridden, including the two I have on deck from the latest drop, are PS.

The first set i had lasted for a while until i gave them away. The metal shields on my last set bent inward because i decided to skate my wheels a little tighter. I've since bought bearing spacers to prevent this in the future.

Didn't want to skate the BA lance board so decided to go with the Grosso to skate/cruise. Was originally only going to cruise it in but will definitely be skating in this, such a good shape.

Those OJ's look wild. Kinda scary that they are so square cut.

thinking the same..they look huge, soft and pointing in all different directions

[sharkin]

It's just an effect of the perspective. I mean, don't get me wrong, OJ's are completely squared off, but the trucks aren't crooked in 6 directions.
I have hot juice minis on my scumco cruiser and they're fun. They chip pretty easy if you're ripping through shitty roads, but the grip is insane for carving around on smooth asphalt

Few drops of speed cream in your pivot cup problem solved. Wax shavings work as well.

Yea just set up a new hockey, still PS.

All new everything to slowly get me back into skating instead of just cruising after breaking my leg.

Black Label 8.5"
Venture 5.8
Girl 1/8" risers
Zealous bearings (with built in spacers)
OJs Little doodies 58 mm 92A

Been cruising with my big cruiser for a month or so now with 78A 60 mm Ricta Clouds. Compared to that these Little doodies feel slow as fuck. But at least these slide. Managed to do a few reverts today. No ollies still for a while, but I feel like it's all coming back, slowly but surely.

Also whoever said Ventures don't turn was either mad or hasn't tried the 5.8's cuz these feel lovely. Totally stock and I don't even feel like fucking with them at all. Didn't even tighten them. Stable enough in the middle but they still turn lovely without much effort.

Dude,why would anyone want to tighten up their trucks, especially ventures?? Loose is the way to go, stock indys ftw!

I suck and weigh about 90 kg, so stock Indys are death for me. I need that middle stability and preferably no wheelbite, especially sudden and unexpected wheelbite, which is what I get with stock Indys.
