The Set-up Thread

[Bizarro Jerry]

If that's your small setup for tech shit I'm scared to ask how big your regular setup is.

[Ok]

If that's your small setup for tech shit I'm scared to ask how big your regular setup is.

Because I’m the worst I watch set up videos. The flavor of the day exceeds mega ramp boards. I’ve had some big boards and I just did the far shittier version of the Chico: try all my same flip tricks, and for me, as opposed to being bummed when I didn’t land something, being hyped when I got the barge to flip over. Ends up making me hella tired/sore. I’m out of shape, and don’t skate regularly, then go out and try and skate for 7 hours because I’ve got a window. Anyways. Yeah. The gigantic board thing is silly.

-All their stuff is metal as fuck, I love it! They just released a t-shirt that I can't afford till Friday but I'mma get it 100%
-It's super fun. I'm not very good at skateboarding yet, but I think that squared-off tail is giving me more predictability when I'm trying to ollie? Idk, I'm pretty new.

No one over 16 should be riding colored wheels, orange being the only exception.

[Diocletian]

I feel you on that. I always ride the natural white F4’s but indoor park season is approaching and I needed to go 97a. Local only had colors in the Slimes and black was the most tolerable. I gotta admit though...it’s growing on me. Shape and color makes me feel like I got big ol’ tires lol.

[padded_shorts]

Damn Right! Once you reach 17 you are no longer allowed to have your own opinions or preferences. Wear the fucking uniform or go fuck yourself, Kook! This is Sports God Damn It!

[bbk]

I like colored wheels, but I hate black, it looks awful.
Black trucks are fine though. I overdo colored trucks and wheels because I think it's silly that raw/polished trucks with white, now also "natural"/beige, wheels with graphics in is what everyone "should" use, otherwise you're a kook.

[jakeumms]

I like colored wheels. It's a toy. Lean into it.

Black looks slow though and the only time I ever had a set that set up got stolen so I guess tires can miss me.

[DirtyBurger]

I like colored wheels, but when you mixed colored wheels and colored trucks you're a monster, it's a fact.

Except black wheels, they're gross no matter what.

Thats a very good looking skateboard.

Did you strip back an Alien/AH or find a good blank in a 33 in length?

managed to get a few bbs blanks, no graphics were harmed in the making of this setup.

[Diocletian]

Beautiful board Cincinnati! Where did you find bbs in a blank?

[Arto Saari]

Also curious about the bbs blank. Ive been trying to find a flat and pointy 7.75 x 31.25-.5. Baker used to make one, but now they only offer a 7.875 x 31.25 in their 'steep concave' shape which has a much fuller nose and tail. I skated one and liked it very much actually, but I want the more tapered look in the kicks.

[kneebone]

got a big ol' bird poop stain on the grip of the DOA so I swapped it out.  Also the novelty of the boardy cakes was fun for a few sessions but not sustainable in the long run.
new one:
AntiHero Grosso 8.75 'full'
Ace 55s w bones soft bushings, stock pivot cup
Pig Barletta 50mm
Swiss
Shortys silverados
Jessup

I don't mind colored wheels either for aesthetic reasons it reminds me of a good flashy filming a lines part, now big boy shit I like a wide full conical white only and that Spitfire buttery color.

Black wheels just look gross never liked em tried them once when I was a kid and didn't realize the durometer or hardness and tried to slide after riding downhill lost bottom row of teeth as I ate shit...... So in summation fuck black wheels!!!!
