Ran out of 7.5 so I started using 7.75. I have no idea which I like better. I do like seen a narrow board though.

first post after lurking a while, heres my current setup and new cruiser freshly assembled.



Enjoi Judkins 8.125
Thunder 148 Standard
Spitfire BDK Conical 54mm
Mini Logo Bearings w/ shields popped
Thunder hardware

Polar Grund 1991 Shape
Ace 44
OJ Super Juice 60mm
Shake Junt Triple OG bearings (?)
1in Hardware and 1/8in risers

The risers are just enough clearance for regular skating and odd manoeuvre with the 60mm wheels but whenever I go full speed it feels like i'm toeing the line of a deathly wheelbite. Its lots of fun.

Brand new Dane Brady Polar! 4th Polar of this exact shape this year.  They are so fkin good!
I just bought some blue trim Spit F4 Conical Fulls that I may throw on this soon (match the graphic lol) once these Bones Easy Street STFs are done. I'm a lil nervous as it's my first pair of F4 ever...

I feel like I always see someone looking for a Quasi Proto, but can never find one.  Paradeworld has one and I wasn't sure where to post to let people know, so here I am...

Legit question: what makes the Quasi Proto different/special?

I'm riding a Quasi and love it – I have two more ready to skate. But I don't know anything about the proto decks.

[kneebone]

there's nothing special.  it's just a graphic

right now im riding a 7.5 creature board with mob grip and ace trucks.

This is the biggest board I’ve ever skated and coming from the 8.5 classic eagle shape, it feels way more full. The extra space on the nose feels really great for nollie and switch heels. I was also worried about the 44’s being too magic-carpet-y but they feel and look fine. I’m excited for the 8.5 Aces that are supposed to be coming soon.

I’m deducting points for a slight magic carpet ride- the deck is just  under 8.8 at front and around 8.5 at back truck.

It's the FA/Hockey shape (wide steep nose with small tail)

Wish I bought ten of these boards.

[Banned from the room]

Wait, you can’t fit spacers in teardrop shaped loopholes? They fit fine in the v-shape conicals.

Yeah.

I'm going to try another set I got but the ones in my old spit cones they fall in and rattle.

weird that would vary shape to shape . @Banned from the room mentioned that on the teardrop shape yeah

[close]

I’m running spacers in 54mm teardrop shape with no issues.

Damn I got bad luck 😑.

It's good news. I'm going to keep buying loopholes. It will be fine next time.

I was thinking of putting a speed ring in there too so it makes contact. It's easier than looking for a slightly bigger one.

High quality. This board has some delam, but that’s my own fault for leaving it in the car.

Skeptical at first because when I think of Prime, it’s reissues. I skate a lot of South Central and Generator boards and Prime can hang with em.

I have one of these and love it. It’s not as stiff as the Cockfight (Pennswood) and Creature (DSM) boards I’ve had recently. It’s flex/weight is a lot more comparable to a DOA (South Central) deck I rode this summer. They’ve been out of stock everywhere since I got this one but will probably buy a few once they’re back.
