The Set-up Thread

[patrick c.]

Pennswood?

Not sure.  I asked them about it and never got a response.  The stain, shape, and wheelbase seem similar to scumco boards though.  I'll know more when I get a chance to skate it but its been raining the last couple days here.  Regardless I think they're switching to psstix for their next run.

^trucks are too small, and not indy, 5/10 

edit : 4/10 because of the tiny trucks again

[backinaction]

^^ Are you only running 3 bolts per truck?

yeah, i lost the missing two and never bothered to replace them

i actually like my trucks narrower than the board because i feel like the axles won’t strip as fast if i land primo (probably not true but whatever), however when i bought them thunder wasn’t making 148s, if they were i’d buy 148s but now that i’m used to these ones i’ll just skate them until they are dead

It's so simple to avoid this. All you have to do is add a washer on each side of the wheel on the axle and tighten until the nut is flush with the axle. If the wheel still has excessive play, take the nut off and add a washer. You can now choose to widen the track width a fraction of an inch by adding the washer to the inside of the wheel or leave it by adding it to the outside. Tighten the nut down flush with the axle and you're done.

yeah, i do this as well albeit without the washers

[the snake]

you're good as long as you skate, dude
i'd add 3 washers on each inside wheel through, and bearing spacers to lock them well

8.4 dlx, try to get my hands on them everytime i come across one

Not big fan of gripjobs but props on the quasimoto-fela reference

[GardenSkater77]

I just move my Indy 149 hangers to my 8" deck and I loved the feel. So smooth and balanced. I don't think I can go back to running 149s on my 8.5". I'm thinking I'm gonna run a 8.375" with Ace 55 or Indy 159s. Also, I've ridden Anti-hero full, but I feel like it makes flipping the board more difficult than it needs to be. Almost want a football shape but not really, just a nice taper. Thanks Slap for making me realize the board should line up with the outer wheels, not the axle end. No idea what I have been thinking all these years.

I've done indy 159s on an 8.38(a full shape no less!) and barely noticed the overhang/axles poking out. I really liked it. I had a tough time flipping the full shape too but I'm awful at flip tricks regardless of what board I'm skating.

That's a great looking setup.  Is that the slightly longer 8.25, or the square one with the 14.25 wheelbase?  I've been curious about their 8.25 with the 14.375 wheelbase. Has anyone compared the two?  The older 8.25 felt a bit small for me, but I'm 6'3" and look like Gumby on board. Actually, Gumby on and off the board.

I'm liking that set up a lot, especially the secret tape sticker.

Can you post a pic of the concave of that Deathwish Egg board? It’s sick!

Freak snowstorm this week so I got some indoor park action last night on a new deck, wheels, bearings, and shoes. Sort of a rough combo to break in all at the same time but it was a fun night.

The worst one imo. Homie use to be sponsored and he preferred new shoes with new board, never understood how he was able to flip that board at all...

[micky682]

I prefer old shoes new grip or new shoes old grip

[shit_for_brains]

Yes heritage is a psychopath we've all known

[Krooked antihero]

I prefer old shoes new grip or new shoes old grip

Same here, when my shoes lost their grip I put them aside to wait when I set up new board to completely destroy them.

heritage i fuck wit dat setup heavy, good shit

Damn Heritage, those wheels are crazy thin! Makes the trucks look even larger.
And that koston 3 CW is amazing...

[alraunen]

Looking forward to buy a new deck, lately generator boards lasted less than expected so I'm thinking about giving ps Stix a try.

How they compare to the generator boards in terms of sizing? Always heard that are smaller but how much? 8,75 could feel like 8,6 or 8,5?  Thanks!
