The Set-up Thread

Christmas complete for an alternate setup, trying to go from 8.5 to 8.25. Everything else about this deck shape is similar to what I've been skating though. Deck courtesy CoMpLmEnTs4u, thanks G.

Haha, that same exact thought popped into my head on my way home from work.  I don’t want to like it, I shouldn’t like it, but I must have it.

Most hyped I've been on a board in a while. I was a huge attitude era fan growing up, that shit played a huge role in shaping my childhood years, I was in elementary school wanting to rock bottom people through tables

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?

White is the most aesthetic color for a deck it always looks good. I'm glad it didn't get REKT while shipping my packaging was pretty half assed admittedly.

The FA decks you sent me came out great. Barely any scratches and a minimal amount of seminal fluid. I hooked my roommate up with the terps board and he was very stoked/grateful. Thank you again.

I am surprised it was a minimal amount, given the environmental circumstances while I was packaging that Terp deck. I won't get into any details for your sake. Glad it got there all good and not warped.

Did you skate that terp deck without grip? That shit has been fucking me up since I got it.

Edit: I affixed that Joe Crumbling shipping label to my fridge. Thank you again!

LOL you haven't skated the board yet have you? One cant just skate an illuminati themed Terp board without expanding the mind. From the moment I stepped on it I suddenly realised grip was all part of the illusion and only designed to inhibit my potential and hold us back. Don't ride it for too long though or else TK will sense someone else stepping into the light. I cannot be responsible for the consequences once Terry Kennedy sets his third eye on you.

This CK was in my back up pile. I noticed it was warped, so decided to set it up and put it out of its misery and save the Dieta deck (which is great).

Good wood. Good dudes.

Doa is south central 

Are doa's any good?

[Vintagebody]

Cant be good when its dead wood. Dead on arrival DOA

[eight two fives]

I thought DOA was using clutch wood? Well that sucks, since SOuth Central uses prison labor.

[nosneb]

Started with clutch now is SC. Quality of SC is better than clutch

I know, it’s like looking at a person in the prime of their life.  All rambunctious and full of potential. 

I get a little skatenerd boner when the tail slide marks are nice and precise.  Unfortunately mine generally look like they were drawn by a drunk Helen Keller.

These slide marks made me sigh in appreciation. I don't comment on them much anymore because everyone wanted attention but these.... these are beautiful

[SneakySecrets]

These should be in a museum or something.

That vertical slide on my nose was from a missed crooked grind

Nice setup mate 👍
How you like these wheels? Mine are at 50 mm now, no flatspots and still nice. But I'm thinking about getting the 101a, cuz I think harder wheels mean a better slideability. Not sure though

I'm currently riding the same wheels. I like them, they slide when I need to and (for the most part) don't slide when I don't need them to. Don't think I've ever had 101a F4s though, so I can't really compare.
