Clean AF! Also those F4s are looking way more white than before. Did they start to make them whiter recently? 

[Murge]

I recently got some radial f4s and it’s been a few months and they are weirdly less natural color and more white when next to my old wheels

Interested in what kind of risers you have since I've never seen any that don't have overhang like that.

I snatched them off my daughters cruiser board that someone got her from Walmart. They're baby blue and they have like 2mm of overhang towards the nose/tail.  I had Indy risers before and they looked awful on there.

Bones risers don't stick out and they are slotted.

Wish I could find more boards from Chapman. I like their shapes/wood.



I'd also like to skate Traffic boards more often.

They’re just slightly harder than the stock bushings so still turny but  a bit more stable. I got em because I didn’t want crank down on the stock bushings to get that stability that I’m comfortable with.

Decided to try out a 7.75 again like what I skated throughout my highscool years.
Minilogo 7.63 trucks with soft top bushings, hard bottom bushings, no washers. 52mm mini logo wheels.
And wtf these mini logo bearings feel way better than my Swiss 6 on my regular board. I guess I really need to clean them to get them back up to speed again.

[kneebone]

Left, previous setup:
Krooked 8.75 Gonz
Ace 55s w/ bones soft bushings, slim top washer
DialTone Alexis Sablone 50mm
Swiss
Shortys Silverados 7/8

Right, new setup:
DOA 8.75 “flat as fuck” (though it really doesn’t feel any different than the “IV” stamped deluxe boards)
Boardy Cakes 44mm fat buntz
Everything else the same

No disrespect intended, but this set up being ridden by anyone other than a beginner is mind boggling to me. Seems like you have new kicks all the time so it's clearly not a money issue - what's going on here?

I guess you like 8.75” what’s the wheel base on both these ? I’ve been wanting to size up from 8.5 but most 8.75 have a little longer wb then I prefer but then again it’s prob in my head .

^ +1 but I hope you don’t skate in weather over 90, Jessup on my BA started peeling bad.

I skate Jessup in in 114° and it still stuck on my board. Bad sheet maybe???
