i like to let them settle in slowly, something about counter sinking bolts into fresh wood bothers me

It sounds like you want to but you're too embarrassed to be your true self

unfortunately no. I don’t really like rails. Could never land a no comply without cheating

He’s been through the desert on a skateboard with no name.

They have no name on them. I am about to replace them, so I don't bother checking. They were loose in a bucket at a shop, and I am pretty sure but not certain that they are even the same brand.

[close]

If you lived near San Francisco I would give you a pair of almost brand new 8” Royals or Tensor mags

No thx, getting a new bigger board soon. Will post it when I get it.

Been thinking about picking up one of those decks, how're the 55's on it? Didn't know if it would need 66/169's or if 55/159's would suffice.

55s are perfect. If you use wide wheels they might hot dog a tiny bit. But the skinny tablets and any classic shape wheels should be fine. I skated it a little today. It’s not flat at all, which I like. The nose is small but I was still able to noseslide and get into some nose mannys. Nollies and Fakie ollies worked too. Gonna try for some fakie flips next sesh, my knee was super sore today.

Thanks man. The shape looks real similar to the Dane Polar shape which I've always dug. I'll definitely check it out.

Which Dane? I got a 1991 Boserio and I'm waiting for 55s to arrive. I was told that 66 were like Indy 215, horrible turning feeling

[tangar]

55s will be good on the 1991. They hot dog a little bit on the 1992 shape tho.

[jtrpma]

i’ve been eyeballing that aws for a while too.
shape looks great and the natural stain makes it perfect. how is that thing?

my setup at the moment:
9” feel
169s
1/8 risers
58 f4s (probably at 55)
random ceramics
