Ditch the racism and be.... r-ACE-ism?

[Nap]

For a 8.06 Deck would you recommend 139 indys ?

[ballintoohard]

I want to like Sour, but my Gustav deck was wack. Super brittle and looked like it lacked glue. Started splintering on the bottom ply on the 3rd session.

How is it going back and forth between the two sets of trucks as far as turn, stability and pop?

And what did I miss about ace being racist now?

Yes if you want to skate indys than 139 are the appropriate size trucks..

I had Indy 139s with bones med bushings on a Krooked 8.06 and it was fine. (5’6” 125lbs).

I’d only pick up a pair of 129s if you know you want to be riding a deck below 8. I tried awhile back and just wasn’t feeling it. Now they collect dust on a shelf with all the other well intentioned skate gear I purchased while drunk.

My opinion is that 5.25( trucks are way too small for 8.1
5.8 (8.5) on 8.1 fits pretty good with out any wheel sticking out.
@venturetrucks where that 5.5 at?!?!!

I think Brophy (Gang!) has a video up on instagram explaining the new boards girl are bringing out, based on his old Cliche personal rider from years ago

Pop Secret?
Had one like 7 years ago in a Malto 8.125 shape and learned to stray away from Crailtap... until I got a free board.

[Paco Supreme]

More like the Keystone boards cliche had out, the top ply looks like the same carbon strip layer

I picked this board up when I visited LA last month. Pop secret basically was a team rider only 6 ply with top layer of carbon fiber. Girl and chocolate did a one off series once a few years ago.  Very light and stiff yet flexible.

Forbidden 14 is not a game. It’s a life style.

Not sure how I feel about this shape, I haven't seen a photo of a board I want to stand on for a hot minute. Your griptape is very nice by the way.

this!
almost seems like it's very similar to Chico's chocolate shape. What's the wheelbase?
edit: never mind, looks to be 14.25
I bet it's a blast to ride

If you have a 9.5 shoe then a gear swap could be in the future haha.

It does get weird, but there is no bad that comes with good (I definitely butcherd that line). Shaped boards make some things easier. I had a Cab reissue and 180s' and shuv variations felt easier. At the expense that I couldn't flip. Welcome's are interesting as they build off the popsicle shape, rather than the old school this is so-and-so's shape.

Exactly my point, on the Sledgehammer I lost nollie heels. Can't lose that.

what size deck do people wit 9.5-10 typically ride?

I ride 8.25 but I find little correlation between that and having a huge penis
