@yeahisaidit hyped on that Philly scumco board!

[cosmicgypsies]

wish more UK stores stocked scumco 

[Italianshredder96]

I managed to find a ps stix toy machine board on skatedeluxe, so my setup:

Toy Machine 8.38 Axel Cruysberghs
Free grip
New Balance numeric 598

Same stuff as before:

Thunder 148 team hollow w/ bones medium bushings
Spitfire conical 54 (now 52)
Modus abec 7

ps I like the squareness and the wheelbase, the real full was square, yeah, but the 14.63 wb was humongous.
I landed a lot of kickflips...i just learned them ahahahah

[Flip260z]

8.5 Philly scumco and sons
Ace 44
Bones ceramic (was gift)
Spitfire formula four lock ins 55mm 99a
Mob m80 + black diamond clear

[nosneb]

Dead on Arrival Skypager 8.5
Jessup griptape
Bronze 1in Allen
Spitfire F4 Classics 99s 54mm
Bronson Raw
Venture Hi 5.8

[Bizarro Jerry]

Nice setup, I have a mini version of it, 8.0 with 5.2 ventures and 53 spits. Love the flat concave and small wheelbase.

[nosneb]

Mine measures at 14.5 and is just right

[Paco Supreme]

That settles it, my next board is gonna be sprayed out black. Looks good Benson

I wish more board co.s would do wood grain...nothing beats wood grain/natural, silver/raw trucks and white wheels.

I thought there seemed to me a resurgence of wood grain with a centred graphic, wknd with their logo boards and quasis proto boards come to mind first.

You could always do what i do and buy a shape you like with some shitty graphic, strip it and clear coat it.  144p did it with a Real split stain board a little while back and it look 10 times better than the graphic they had run on it

Good quiver, how small are those wheels, are they those OJ minis?

[Not Local]

New deck and trucks.  old everything else



Anti Hero 9.18 Football-ish shape
Ace 55
Spitfire 54mm 101a Conical F4s

I'd probably ride that exact setup (- the Bronsons)

[nosneb]

I know everyone says shoe size doesn’t matter but I have a secret hunch that it kind of does (there’s just no concrete rules and always outliers). Is there any way people could post their shoe size as well with their setups? I’d be interested to know if there’s a pattern. Or not, I could totally go fuck myself.

[the snake]

^you should make a thread about that in the trashcan of your laptop 

[TwisT]

not my board, but my girlfriends setup



BLVD 8.25
Indy 149
SML 53mm 99a
Minilogo bearings
Indy hardware

[the snake]

[TwisT]

^is she good ? at skateboarding i mean

Nope, like 3 weeks into dating she tried to ride my cruiser down the street, immediately slammed and cut open her forehead. I had to take her to the emergency room for stitches and call her parents.

I’m sure this was a diss based off of your usual Schtick to hate on anyone new, but honestly I don’t understand what it means or how it’s insulting to me. If you could elaborate on the burn I will promise to cry and feel hurt once I understand the specifics of your sass.

[cold budweisers]

what's the board on the left?

I'm a 10 in nearly everything and I usually ride 8.38-8.5. I been thinking about going 8.25 for the next one I buy though, but that's because my ankle makes it a little tough to flip the board sometimes.

Wow this is my exact situation. I have similar ankle issues to you broken left ankle and that’s my flicking foot. I’m a size 11 skating 8.38-8.5 and I wanted to size down as well to 8.18 or 8.25. But then I look at Kader or t funk and wonder if I’m just being a pussy. when I watch people like sewa, Ron Waley or kechaud with big feet skating small boards it looks weird for some reason. Do you have metal in your ankle? Is it more the range of motion that is affecting you or the pain when flicking? It sounds kooky but swimming has really done wonders for building back my ankle muscle. I was told when you are in a cast the small muscles weaken and when coming back the large ones like your calf will over compensate and all the small ankle muscles never get used enough to grow stronger again. So you gotta work on activating them again somehow with a resistance band or swimming.
