Darkroom 8.75" 14.5" wb, another fight depression gripjob

Ace 55 no top washer, on 1/8" rubber risers

Swiss 6 / Spit F4 99a radial 53mm (from 58)

DC Crisis High, (for 5€ on Vinted...),  :D : thin grippy cup comparable to broken in blazers. Added Gamechangers though.

That looks super amazing!

New slappy setup
• 9.2 Prime blank (13.75 wb)
• Indy 159’s w/ stock bottoms and 92a tops, bones washer
• Blank Zero 50mm wheels
• Bronson G3’s
• Enjoi rails
• Jessup grip
• Alien WS 7/8 Phillips hardware

I’m torn between switching the 159 for some 169’s. The 159’s are a bit small up front and stick out a few mm in the back due to the taper of the deck. I think 169’s would stick out wayyy too much in the back for my liking. Ace 55’s would be perfect, but I already have the 159 + 169’s so I can’t justify buying them right now.

South Central flat blank 8.25
5.6 V-Hollow (all stock)
50mm F4 Classics

I wanted to size down from the 8.5" I was skating and this was on top of the pile and looking good. I skated this on 5.2 lows in the summer and didn't like it, but on the 5.6s it feels perfect.

I love the look. I’ve rambled about this before, but blanks with big stickers, or some of the ‘prototype’ graphics different companies ran, always so sick. That orange is poppin. I know why I try and skate bigger wheels, I just have a lot more fun on smaller ones.

Probably a set of these. They are decent bearings. I have a set.  No complaints.

been waiting to try this shape for a while.....caught one on sale and didnt really like the graphic. sanded 3/4s off and did my first spray paint job




primitive villani egg 9.125/31.8/14.25
venture 6.1 w/forged plates+indy 78a+flat washers
f4 classics 55mm 99a
year old reds
bronze allen
mob
sb dunk lows/adidas tyshawns

short tail with venture forged make it as steep as my popsicle, hard to find on bigger shapes. should perform similarly to my normal popsicle so im hyped to thrash it tonight
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

The fluorescent yellow trucks actually kind of work on that black and white deck.  I think it looks rad.

Fucking thing literally looks like a popsicle stick  :)
I put it through my normal standstill ollie/fliptrick routine that all freshies get and I can tell it gonna take more big board effort than the Polar. I will just let it kick my ass, and love it anyways...because it is pretty sexy.

That looks glorious, especially the tail.

The neon-tennis ball color has kinda grown on me. At least I know where my board is at all times.

Hockey 8.75 x 32.60 (14.5 wheelbase)
Spitfire Formula Four OG Classics 52 mm
-both lightly skated with my old Ventures

Ace 55s
Bronson Raw bearings
Mob grip
Random Bones hardware
Not pictured - 2nd pair in a row of all white leather Blazers

Not a huge fan of the graphic but I wanted to try one of Hockey’s 8.75s now that they’re making them. First time skating Aces (after a few pairs of Ventures in a row) which might be a rough transition but I’m thinking they’ll pair nicely with the 14.5 wheelbase.  Also stoked that the OG classics are now in F4.

I have an 8.5 Hockey deck lined up for after this.  Has anyone skated 9 inch Aces on an 8.5 before? I’ve never gone a full half inch difference between my deck and trucks before...

You better put some 5.8s on that 8.5.
