That's a nice looking set up and shout out to Obi.....

Something’s telling me there’s not a whole lot going on upstairs for ol Obi.

Someone calling out a dog for being dumb based on one set up pic was something that I didn't expect and it brought me odd joy.

Arigato shape looks so perfect 👌

Right! Wish I would have gotten one but didn't want to worry about my 5.8 ventures with the taper

do loophole and spitfire f4's ride the same? would be down to try loopholes but f4 is just sooo good

[close]

easily some of the most comparable wheels, you won't be disappointed (and this is coming from a huge F4 fan), they are dreamy!

Fully agree, they are great. I switched directly from f4 conicals and am really enjoying the teardrop shape and have a fresh set of the square shape on hold.  You can also purchase from the manufacturer NFG MFG on amazon if you are unable to track down Loopholes (I found my Loopholes on paradeworld.com)

Polar Arigato
Ace 44 w Riptide Pivots and Low top
F4 55mm 99a Conical Full
Swiss Six
Shake Junt (had to cut it up just to avoid having Kyle Walkers name on my shit)

First new board under 9” in a long time! Couldn’t get my hands on the Ben Koppl board so settled on this.

Another of this shape...beautiful. Anyone have a link of a local shop where I could get one of these?

Very sharp!  I like those proportions.

[Junglist]

Street corner 5.0 lows had to be the most popular truck for like a decade until stage 11 indys came out, but the question is, do they hold up? Dope setup btw

[rocklobster]

Flip P2 8.1 x 32.2 (measurements are actually 8.1 x 31.75 x 14.125) - got a lightly used some off Craigslist for $15 to try the technology and was pleasantly surprised, pop is springy without the jarring stiffness of a DSM deck
Venture 5.6 V-Hollow with Cast Baseplate - Prefer the 5.2 Lo but I wanted to give the 5.6 some love, tried the forged baseplate with P2 but WB addition killed the springy pop
Bones STF V3 52mm - defacto wheel
Random ceramic bearings - got them off a Craigslist board and they are really good
Bolts and hardware

Shame that board companies are no longer doing P2, I'm a sucker for these gimmicks.

Ayyyy I see that bunger sticker. Do you know if they're still open? Their website has been down so I figured the shop was down also but I haven't been there to check it out. Also, did you pick up this traffic postcard deck from there? Been looking for the Maloney Long Island deck everywhere. I think I'm too late for that though.

Wow

Where can I find one of these they're sold out on their site

[Junglist]

Fucking love Wallenberg dunks! Hard as fuck to find too, I don’t think they were ever that popping back in the day. do you have a big collection from back then or do you shell out?

I can’t touch on how they compare to DLX Venture but it’s a nice switch up from Indy. Supersoft bushings improved the turning greatly, the lack of kingpin clearance hasn’t bothered me on any ledge tricks yet, rails may be a different story. I enjoy the grind feel, the stability makes nollie/switch much more comfortable. Only complaint so far is the constant wheelbite since I’m used to high trucks. Overall I enjoy them way more than I remember.

53mm with low trucks is basically requesting wheelbite. even more so with those bushings lol
