the untz is that feeling you get when brownie drops the bombs like napalm on your groove jungle aka soul, mangs chills to the side with the swang dip swang dip swang dip, a bunker bomb to your deemster trench aka minds eye. alan chills in the back with the tska tska tska, a groove missle set on b'gock, and barbs brings it all back home with the deedle de dee deedle de dee, a psychic breakdown mine, hidden in the trance pasture, blowing open your bisco chakra, that is the untz.

Lol glad someone knows what that logo is, I’m happy with how DiscoDane1 turned out

Wish I bought ten of these boards.

how is the quality on those Prime blanks?  got an 8.25 i'm waiting to set up

[close]

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.

[close]

Is it a stiffer board?

Definitely has snap to it. Really interested on how it pops with a lower truck set up. Gotten use to riding on blocks these days.

Just got back from my first session. It's definitely going to take some time getting use to the thunders after being on ventures the past year. I'm not use to the twitchiness after the stability and surfy turn of ventures. Hopefully I'll grow into thunders. I love the shape of the deck though. A nice full nose. I personally love the graphic. The umbrella and flag is pretty iconic from the polar videos.

[SneakySecrets]

Looks kinda 9/11y

[moonordie]

Just put together some 159 with this "old" 8.5 Habitat if anybody wanted to know the level on eventual hot rodness

These decks are textured right? Since Keith died I’ve been jonesing for an oval but all I can find are these.

Sadly, the last two Politic boards I've bought have been weird duds. I used to like South Central pressed boards, but they didn't used to be so thick and heavy. These last two had no crisp, hard wood pop sound at all - more of a dull thud like a waterlogged board. Sucks, cause the shapes and concave are still really nice. But BBS boards are just lighter and always crispy, never soggy when new... so I'm sticking with them. (primarily Alien or DLX since they tend to have nicer concaves)

Also - yes, the board has a weird texture pattern on the bottom (embossing?). Looks and feels cool.

I gotcha, that’s a shame! I love the SC decks I’ve had, hopefully they resolve that issue quick!

I'm really stoked with the board, the shape is great, good pop and very light. Let's see how much lasts, depending on that I will consider to ride this shape for long time.

Love it with the brown stain. My loveseat got some small pressure cracks the first day but then held up super well and lasted me like 2 months of daily quarantine skating.
