First time ridding a shaped board... It was kinda a impulse buy. Needed a new deck for this week only and thought about risking it trying this. I was ridding a 8.25 before and thats the widdest I ever rode, this one doesnt feel much bigger because the tail tappers to like a 8.25 aswell, just more space for your front foot which feels really nice. I just feel that I should have bigger trucks, they are flush at the tail but fell a bit small in the front. Doesnt feel bad tho... Actually 2 sessions in and I'm having a lot of fun.

Don't usually skate PS but caved since Dick Rizzo is my favorite skater.

It would drive me crazy to have 159’s on an 8.25, but to each his own I suppose.

Frog 8.6 concave feels steep like I like
Mininlogo 8.38 trucks
Tyshawn F4 classic shape 53 / 99d
Indy bolts (kinda long lol 1.25”)
Bones Red Ceramics!!!!
Mob
Minilogo risers
I don’t expect the bearings to feel much different because I have 2 other set ups one with bones Swiss 6 ball and one with bones Swiss regular.

Update about the ceramics- WOW!
They are def faster and smoother than bones Swiss and bones Swiss 6 ball.
Yesterday almost everything I tried, I felt like I was just gonna shoot out because of how fast my board was.
Took a little to get used to this board, longer wheelbase and actually it feels wider than my 9” High Guy reissue.

Lotta good grip jobs on this page. Nice work.

the mods can’t save you stevestuart. You can cry out for Bobby Peru, you can cry out for hate! They won’t come. You know why? They’re snowboarders baby. They love sending it, they love fresh pow days, they love pop tarts and michalchuks. We are all just snowboarders man. Skateboarding is what we do. Snowboarders are who we are

Compose yourself brah!

You were gonna say you don't even send it and that you're kookin on the boards cause the snow is melting? At least your honest.

Ugly boards don’t ever bug me but this thing was gross.

Supposedly it’s a stinger tail. It’s weak as fuck, literally a tiny bump in what I thought was a straight rail

This graphic may be the best my board has ever looked. I know y’all hate black trucks, but you gotta admit that looks good. Coming off a girl board with a 14” wb this was a little more work but didn’t throw me off too much - though I did roll my ankle. I also added bones bushing (no washers) halfway through skating this board and I was able to find the sweet spot for truck tightness without too much trouble.

A thing of beauty. I love how the 45s look with the wide trucks.

Unrelated, but after I get back from vacation I am going to set up a DOA Flat as Fuck and I am soooo pumped.

I just ordered a couple as well in 8.5.  post yours once it's setup

[Idk]

What type of Thunders are the ones with III on the base plate? They say Team on the bottom baseplate. Thanks in advance.

Like this:

[Idk]

It seems they’re the Team Editions but I can’t find them anywhere online and in person.

[nosneb]

I love the DOA flat shape. It’s like a crailtap concave but with good wood.

Thunders come in random bolt graphic or team. I usually get one of each

Nice grip dude! Jessup where it counts too haha!

 Is that Boserio graphic from the SP19 or is that a winter season graphic? I think the one you have is better than the graphics used on that shape, that SW has available. Thought about getting his false prophet model, or thinking of trying that 9 X 32.25 40 oz model he has.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Pretty sure that Boserio graphic is a late 2017 early 2018 graphic no?

No, short stubby nose and pointy tail, my next board is the same shape so when I set that one up I’ll snap a photo of the grip to show the shape better.
