I’m pretty out of my mind, and will for sure switch stuff too much, but if I ‘love’ it, then.....I don’t.

^I normally hate anything that isn’t plain black grip, but I actually quite like that grip job.  Good looking setup in general.

Well, I actually missed a few slappys and there are tiny scratches. It wasn't intentional with the forbidden 14. I just did a few noseslides and struggled with some fs tails today. ^^

Thanks man. I actually get really nervous when it is just pain black grip ^^ But I only see my grip job when I skate switch.

State shoes are really good but they can be difficult to find sometimes. I've skated a few pairs and liked them every time.

I’ve thought about having a board on my trunk but aren’t you scared of the heat messing them up? Or better question, does it mess them up?

I used to be the same way. So on days I knew I would skate; I'd bring my board, shoes and hat. But the last few years, I started just leaving everything in my car and I end up having spontaneous sessions and just skating more in general I feel. If you store them grip side up, you might get some sun/wax spots. But nothing serious, to me anyways. I have some friends who are really picky about the condition of their board. Not me. I ride them until they are thrashed and don't mind a little sogginess. Also, I think its major heat fluctuations that would damage a setup and I'm in SD, so don't have to worry about that.

NC checking in.  Hot and humid here and I always keep my board in the car.  Never had any issues.

Here’s my starting lineup. Most of them live in my car. Internal temps can reach 100-170 in sunlight, but doesn’t seem to have an effect of any of them. The Quassi is my skatepark/bowl/transition board I set up right before COVID-19 shutdown all the skateparks, so it hasn’t been taken out of my trunk in 5 months. It wasn’t warped or soggy, and it still had a crisp feeling pop

[handsclapanin]

Are those gullwing street shadows on the new deal?

[tom]

Plastic baseplates and bridgebolts and all. These things are truly horrible. They’re loose and don’t turn at all. This board is almost as old as I am. I’ve had it since 2005. I skate it for about an hour once every year. It’s good for impossibles and no-pop shuvs  and that’s about it

Sweet! Giving me flashbacks to this Small Room board I had in middle school with those trucks.

Small room with deadbolts and gullwings? Your showing your age there Mr. 

[layzieyez]

Don't forget there were also deadbolts and the accompanying trucks.

Holyshit. Lol

[handsclapanin]

I actually had a pair of these Deadbolt trucks.
E clips and fully floating axle.

Probably the second worst truck I've ever had.
These were #1:

[layzieyez]

I also ran a set of deadbolt trucks. They were ok.

The g&s trucks rusted because I was in Hawaii. They did have a decent grind going for them. Only plus.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Wow, imagine buying e-clips with floating axles, I don’t blame you though, if they were available in Aus I probably would have purchased too
