Thunder lights 148?  Swapped with a homie for the night
F4 52mm conical fulls
Oust bearings

Have only had about and hour on flat with it since it's been raining but should get to skate it this weekend.  Doesn't have the big nose like my other quasis have. So far I'm liking it.

I have thunder 147s with that shape. They seem to fit perfect, at least I think so.

This is a big change from the 8.75 with Ace 55s I was riding after recovering from surgery.  I feel a little scared on the little board.

People are holding on to those Pitcrew stickers huh?

Yeah these Lucky's are pretty good, I used to not really reuse bearings and these are my second set of wheels with them. Loving the OJ's.

I'm coming to the realization that even though I like Creature as a brand, the decks aren't great. My bud just got a new Navarette deck and its' already chipped to fuck on the nose, and mine is starting to chip. My other buddy has his trucks shifting around because the drill holes are getting loose. That happened to my last Creature deck, the bolt just sunk through the deck and wasn't holding on to anything.

Must be a reason I got that deck for $26.

Yep, but I've had Mini Logos which are also Chinese and held up until I got bored with them.

I thought Tum Yeto were made in Mexico?

In Europe they're mostly China wood. Probably other non-American parts of the world too.

[nosneb]

When I visited Asia I noticed the Toy machine foundation and a few other brands used China wood and the concaves are all weird. All the brands that were imported from Canada or Mexico had premium prices

Hmm didn't even notice it until you mentioned it.  My wheels are coning a tad so that could be it.  When I look at it I'll it looks fine lol

that quasi graphic looks like some cheap 80's shopping mall board ... but maybe that's the schtick they are going for?

Do you sometimes get scared mid-kickflip when you look down and see Satan staring up at you?

Weird question how tall are you guys riding 148

I'm 5'7, 170 pounds, I skate an 8.25 with a size 8/8.5 shoe...I feel 147 were too little, 149 too much and always 54mm conical wheels (shitty ground). The happy medium is 148 on 8.25 or 8.38 board, the thing is I've got messed up ankles so I gotta be stable and the 148 are perfect in that sense.

I am in a never-ending dilemna switching between 149 and 148 hangars. I skate better on 148 I ride 8.25-8.38 . The only reason I go to 149 all the time is because im 6 foot 3 230 size 11 shoe. I feel like my trucks look too small and are bad somehow for my size I dunno it's kooky I know. But I feel like a bitch since people shred bigger boards.

I’m 6’2 170 with a size 10.5 shoe and fucked up knees. I’m always switching between riding 8.125 and 8.25. It’s just more comfortable on my knees to skate something smaller than a big ass deck.

Slightly bigger boards are good for your ankles, but too big of a board is not good cause you put more effort...so the only thing is don't care about others skate what you're comfortable with.

[Italianshredder96]

Old:

Real full se 8.25 concave II

New:

Anti Hero 8.25 (8.3125 actually) concave III (I can't find any IV)
Length: 31.875
Wb: 14.375
I like it a lot cause is almost as full as my previous deck

Same old same old stuff:
Thunder 148 with 92 thunder bushings
Spitfire 54mm conical f4 (51 now)
Modus abec 7
Free allen bolts
Mob grip (the only grip)

I must admit...never gonna switch from dlx boards. They last so long and stay poppier.
