Or I just keep riding Chico's last chocolate board until he gets his new guest board and I snap it up

Sept yeah? I wonder who is going to put out his Big Boy? I'll likely grab at least one.

[close]

Yep, it's out in september.  not sure who is releasing it though.   I'll be stocking up on them

[close]

Is this real or just a really good new rumor

I hope grimple puts this out.

Chico and Gerwer have been skating together lately.  🤔

Thanks man; It's clunky and fun to skate
This is my current "normal" setup that I skated for all of 15 minutes before giving myself a shin splint this afternoon. I'm trying to grind through the axle before giving myself a Christmas complete, but it's taking longer than it used to. That's not such a bad thing though

ive ground down to the axel on thunder hollows and didn’t find the bar. I don’t know why but I didn’t, and I destroyed the thunders I had. Maybe the hollows don’t have the bar? Can someone confirm?

[ballintoohard]

The Quasi Proto has kinda small kicks actually-definitely a smaller nose. I've had a bunch of the 8.25s and they're less steep than other Quasis.

I actually really enjoyed them with Ace's, might setup one with Thunders soon.

Definitely not the case with this one. I’ve had plenty of quasis and this is definitely the steepest by far. The shapes vary pretty dramatically between the 8.25s and
the 8.5s. Put my Indy’s on and it actually balanced it out quite nicely. Loving this one.

I'm planning on setting up my 8.375 Quasi shape soon and am kind of bummed on the shape.  I've rode the 8.25 and 8.5 shape (loved the 8.5 with Ace 44's) and got this shape on a whim.  It's definitely lacks the square-ness in the nose and tail, which I loved, and I'm trying to figure out if I want to run my Indy Ti 149's or Ace 44's. 

My only saving grace is that I haven't skated in 6 days, which at 35 feels like getting through a whole winter.

Had the same experience with the 8.375 quasi.  Also, you'll notice that it actually measures 8.25 over the trucks

PS Stix measure with the concave, if you press the tape into it, it will measure 8.3

very hyped on the new deck (not on the grip). i got it as a present for my 30th birthday by my since-day-one-skatecrew/friends. the weed grip was already applied as a joke and they said i am not allowed to change the grip for an all black one. so i guess i'm just gonna roll with it. i haven't smoked any in almost 10 years  .

I skated about 6 Quasi’s back to back when they first came out, loved the shape. For some reason stopped buying them. Had some crazy madness this past month jumping from 10” shapes to 8” popsicles, decided to go back to my old ways because if it ain’t broken don’t fix it. Super weird getting used to the big full square shape again, and the Aces make the kicks feel HUGE. Might go to my Thunders to help with that. Not sure. Good to be back on one though. Been eyeing it for a minute.

How bad are your wheel bites without risers?

With Aces, literally none at all and I ride them pretty loose. I have thunders on it now and had to go back to 54mm because I’m not used to that much wheelbite, but they do feel pretty good. I skate a lot of tranny though and don’t see many other people skating thunders on tranny so not sure if I’ll find a reason why or not but so far so good.

But it's not consistent any more.  If you take the 8.5 quasi, measure over the front trucks (without pressing) it's 8.5.  Same with an 8.6 wknd that I have.  Other shapes/sizes (like the 8.375) they measure with the concave

Nothing beats that sweet feeling of skating while you should be at work.

Is that a Switch skate shop sticker? Newark, DE?

[Sativa Lung]

How do you like the Modus? I literally just had the blues in my cart and at the last minute took them out and bought Hard Luck 6 balls instead and I'm already thinking I'm going to regret it. Are they better than Reds?

they've been consistently good and last a long ass time. i usually switch them up every year and give away my old ones to friends because they still work great. highly recommend them.

Motherfucker. These 6 balls have really good reviews too but I've wanted to try Modus for a long ass time. Which ones are you skating? Do you think there's any appreciable difference between say the blues and the 7's?

[Chaos Acoustic]

Dude, let us know how you like the hard luck six. I’ve been wanting to try them myself.
