Recommend them 100%. Skated them to the bone this summer.

Films are awesome for sure. Once I figured out to lube up the pivot cups, they ended up being some of my favorite trucks. I hope Eurotings or someone else in the US gets more soon, I could use a bigger pair.

what did lubing the pivot cups do? And how did you go about it?

Seriously though, good job on the paint, I was actually looking at creature decks during my recent board crisis but I was always like, “but the graphics though...”

Did you say Carpet does blanks or just want to buy carpet decks? First I'm hearing of them making blanks if so

augustmoon · « **Reply #26617 on:** January 13, 2021, 04:53:53 PM »

carpet just did a series of boards that are basically blanks; they're colored wood grain and they just have a small carpet logo above the back truck. i think they sell for 48 or 50, so just a few bucks more than a Prime or Canada Boardshop blank

Rustoleum is a very good product

Just looked on the site and saw them. Totally didn’t know they had put those out. Curious what the exact specs are but I’d totally buy one of those. Carpet is sick

Sometimes you look at a board and think "Damn that looks really good!" which is something I didn't even know I would have said until I clicked on the link to Carpet. I guess not being in the US, I don't really see much too.

I think I have been posting too much, so held off posting this, but I am so happy with it right now.

It is easier to post Instagram as pics I upload directly never seem to turn out so well, or they are very small.

My detailed (almost rant) about specs in the post, but the basics:

Antihero 8.38
Indy 149s with aftermarket 92 low bushings
Bones swiss
Spitfire classics 99, 56 when new, now down around 50 so nice and wide
Shortys 7/8 silverados
Jessup grip

Vans Era pro from a long time ago

Nice One! Think im going with a eagle next time.

How does the concave tving with the roman Numbers on the top ply work? Also is there a big difference between the steepest & most mellow concave?

I seem to find the I to IV are not as important as the shape or size of the board, but they do ever so slightly play in to things too. Example, the 8.38s in general always feel like a much flatter concave than the 8.25 boards, which feel like a taller nose and tail with more rail concave too, when I have put them side by side graphic up the 8.25 sits higher, same when they are face down, the 8.25 rail edge sits higher.

Overall the exact same board in a I and a IV on the rare occasion I have seen them have seemed to have minimal difference, but there was slightly more in the I compared to the IV.

What size board do you usually ride / were thinking of getting? (I looked over previous posts, 8.25 to 8.5)

First roger in a while.
8.25 tugboat shape
Venture 5.6 with cast plates and ti hangers
52 classics
Riptide pivots and supercush bushings

Very nice, how are you liking the riptide pivot cups? I'd like to buy a pair but they're too expensive where I live.

I’ve used them in Indy thunder tensor and venture and feel like they are worth it. I would say if you are ordering from some place that has a set it’s worth it to throw in and try

To be clear the third pic was an anti hero I snapped earlier today. The collage is crispy and new. This deck was pressed by United skate supply, California.
