For a 8.06 Deck would you recommend 139 indys ?

[close]

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.

you and me are the same stats, ride the same size setup too. Lmao

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

I feel that we may be witnessing two people becoming best friends.  So Shalom.

Not to hyped on this shape after actually riding it. Its slightly wider than my normal size and feels short so it's like I'm on a stubby board, also got that day one chip.

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

thanks dudes! first time trying something as intricate on my grip. wanted to leave the two dudes from the top design showing and decided on random patterns haha.
im not a great skater, so trying out weird/new shapes gives me something to figure out and get excited about :) so far it feels really fun and very natural under my feet, so im v happy rn with the deck! gotta get a better feel of my wheels tho. what are the dimensions of the Chico?

New set-up because my board got stolen. Usually not a fan of colored trucks, but won these at a contest and I think they look good with this graphic.

it’s raining so won’t be able to skate it tomorrow . been riding ventures for years stoked to try these . they are very light with hollow kingpin . i also want to add a few more stickers just cause but it would make it look like shot which is what i usually end up doing . it’s been a hard self restraint .

[SneakySecrets]

Is that a pack of Marlboro reds I spy in your skate gear box? 

I want to try those tablet wheels.

Your local is my local. They had zero Venture last time I was in there. Might head over today and see what decks they've got.
