Nice ! Where did you find those Strubing wheels ?

Thanks! I bought the OJ wheels a while ago, but then got hooked on Formula Fours...

[BelknappBruiser]

better stock up on the Ryan Lays!

Luckily I have a few more pairs back in the stockroom! It really is a great shoe and I am bummed that they are no longer making it...

Also listened to one of my favorite albums

How's the otherness? I'm really curious cause I so badly want a twin shape. I thinkil would be tricky to find in Europe.

I really didn’t give a fuck about otherness till you posted that twin nose. What woodshop do they use?

You could probably find Ishod's twin tail over there? This is my second double ender and I like them a lot. -especially breaking in new trucks. Then it really doesn't matter what end you ride. If you can find one, I'd recommend giving it a go. I prefer this Otherness over Ishod's. The shape is more full and the kicks seem a little steeper. Really tho, they're close to being the same board as far as dimensions and woodshop are concerned. Both have short noses/tails and that takes a little getting used too -think nollie tricks, slides, and just the symmetrical feeling overall. I saw krooked had one and I think creature was or is making one too.

Ditto. They're using Generator/BBS

Nonexistent - 8.25 BBS wood, kinda pointy compared to the usual BBS shape I ride. It's actually an 8.2 shape that I pulled out of a stack cause it was a bit wider.

Hardware I've had for who knows how long.

The pointy shape makes it feel skinnier than it is, but it's on a steeper concave that I prefer over the stock option most small brands get from BBS. Nonexistent screen prints all their graphics. I have no idea what this one is a reference to. A video game? Broke the sticker taboo of putting another board brand sticker on it because I always put Sour stickers on my boards (I usually remove the graphics, but this one looked cool and it was free from the brand) and that spot is the only place that remains unscathed.

Sick... i didn’t expect Evisen to do a board under 8’
That thing must be very light with tenors

Haha thanks. Yea I have seen a lot of their team decks at 7.875, and for sure its probably the lightest setup i can remember. Cant wait to go skate after this rain clears up.

Going from an 8.5 boxy Quasi to an 8.375 passport feels a little small but still really nice. My fiancee bought me this board for Christmas, but I skate boards for a really long time or until their broken so I'm just getting around to setting it up. She wanted to hang it up because she thought I wasn't going to skate it. Passport have the best graphics so I might pick some up just to hang up.

I meant wanted to ride a DOA deck, FAskates is one of their retailers, but never has stock.

You probably got over your reluctance to search, but they got em in now:

Looks like a screenshot from Hideo Kojima's Snatcher. It's a deep cut for sure. For a frame of reference, the game only came out in the US and Europe for Sega CD.
