I tried to google that shit too, wtf board companies don’t list their products specs that they are trying to sell? Everyone should take a look at polar’s website and take a note.

not stoked on the amount of pizza setups on this page

[nosneb]

If you scratch off the Pizza graphic you can pretend its an Alien workshop or quasi or FA/Hockey

[clintendo]

I'll be honest in saying i don't really care for the graphic, but I do like that it wasn't heat rolled on and the shape of their 8.375's & 8.5's are very good

[gaunting]

yea, the pizza part seems like it’s slick. I haven’t board slid on the board yet.

Time for a tough question. You say you have Shorty's hardware, but that independent sticker under the Bronson  only comes with Indy hardware.

[os89]

Haha, Indy hardware I got for my girls Christmas board. Also about the size, I was also unaware until recently Polar made a sub 8.0 deck

[Roisto]

Tikari Kalevi Helvetti 8.38" from a few years back. Finnish brand. Dude who did the graphics has some sort of a developmental disability. Dude still does what he wants and doesn't let his disabilities hold him down. He had a punk band with other chaps with developmental disabilities too. About as real as it gets. Fucking love this deck.
Breaking in relatively unskated Ace 44s, stock.
Spitfire Formula Four Classic Full 54 mm from a few years back.
Zealous bearings with built in spacers. I really like built in spacer bearings and these are cheap and seem to work nicely.
Thunder 1" Allen hardware. The part that sinks in the board is smaller than on many other brands, so it feels like they stress the board less. Dunno if there's anything to it, but they work nicely anyway.
Some grip

Love the graphics and PKN, I have a shirt from that same run but I just can’t take lamina’s board shapes, boards are way too flat for me and dimensions are of in every possible way... and this comes from a dude who skated klapi’s exclusively for 10 years straight😄

Damn. Didn't know they made shirts too. Missed out on those. 

I love the flat shape. I thought I'd hate it but facing the fact that I fucking suck and have very little pop has made me realise that currently I can get much more out of a flat deck like this. Dimensions are great otherwise too. Shape is rather full, wheelbase is 14.5".

To each their own, I can’t skate wb’s that big at all😄 14.25 or under for me, I use to skate lamina’s 8.125” shape cuz it was the only one with smaller wheelbase on their camp, it just sucked it has the smallest tail ever...

14.5" is the lowest I'll go with wheelbase, especially with Aces. Sure, I can skate a smaller wheelbase but it just feels unnecessarily sketchy and I don't feel like I get advantage at all from it so I'll stick to 14.5"+. 

[tangar]

I was nervous going down to 14.25 with aces on two different setups but it’s been solid for me. Polar 1992 shape with 55s and the FA 8.5 with 44s feels amazing. I’m 5’6.

[Roisto]

I'm 6'1" (186 cm) and I've recently tried all sorts of wheelbases between 14" and 15" with Aces, Indys and Ventures and anything below 14.5" just feels uncomfortable to me. Even 15" is still alright. Nice on a cruiser especially. Comfortable and stable but does require a bit more effort to ollie.

😍😍😍😍
nice setup! how do you like 55mm? I’ve never had wheels that big. 53 is as big as I’ve ridden.

[os89]

Thanks man, yea I usually ride 52-53s too so it's kinda different but I'm really liking them so far. Just riding around is so much better for the shitty streets here, and my pop actually feels a bit better with these too.

[Omars_Dad]

Not sure if this fits the thread so a mod can delete this post if they want I found my first deck tucked away in my parents basement not too long ago. Blind Ripper Reaper 7.62 from about 1997 I think. If you look close enough you can see a sticker that says "china bones" which is what Reds were called when they first came out.

Holy shit... that’s amazing.  It’s like if you took every trailer park that’s ever been on COPS and distilled them down into a single skateboard. 

Do they have any Macho Man Randy Savage’s?
