Was skating a Sci Fi Fantasy 8.25 I picked up on a trip for a month before this so I spent most of my session getting used to the longer wheelbase. Feels great now though. Also threw some new indy hard conical bushings in my trucks after the bones hard ones I had got squished and kept coming rattly loose every session. Need to remember to only make one change at a time or my sessions are going to suck.

Was curious about the sci fi fantasy decks. Do you know who presses them? And also specs?

Def bbs and from what I saw I'm guessing the same mold/shape everyone uses (mold 5? Anyone who's actually got a gen account know what it's called?) which would make the 8.25 specs 8.25 x 31.8 14.25wb 6.7ish tail 7ish nose medium concave and med-steep moderately spoony kicks.

my third Clutch blank in a row. the last one I had did me pretty well. i think it lasted well over a month, and I passed it on while it still had a little life left. can't lie tough, kinda getting bored with the blanks. ive got a couple Prime blanks to go through after this one, and I think I might start skating through some of my wall hangers after those run out.

Clutch blank 8.25
ace 44s, riptide pivot cups
Spitfire f4 52 tablets

How do you cut your grip so the top ply shows around the edges?

It's funny cause some others would always say I cut the grip too far in when it looked like that, but I saw their boards with grip scraps hanging off the sides and thought "What a mess that looked" but it is personal preference really.

That was a long time ago, but since working in skate shops and gripping 20+ boards a day, I got used to just doing it on the edge, normal -\ angle, so not too far in and not sticking out, so everyone was happy.

Some boards look really good with it cut in a fair way though - really makes a statement!

Yes sir. Kids at the local know I'm ancient. Wouldn't trade parenthood and skating for anything in the world!

I route the grip with a screw driver the remove the excessive grip on the side. I don’t like any grip overhang as that gets frayed when you don’t land perfect

Been a long time since I've set up a new deck. Don't get to skate much and rarely break any of my gear. But the last two slams I had gave that deck a bad vibe, so I'm excited to set up something new for Spring.

8.25 Polar (the older 8.25 shape with the 14.25wb)
Thunder 149 (aftermarket blue bushings: 95a, I think)
F4 Radial Slims
Bones Swiss, Mob, Shortys

Steep and Deep, nice shape, poppy, slides as well as rails (graphics were painted over the slick as per the norm from BBS); Feels heavy, even with Tensors.

Looks good!

What do you normally ride, as in transition, parks, curbs, street, everything?

Some kids I skate with always trip out on my bigger boards like that, but when they realise how much fun they are, they never want to give it back.

Fresh!

I'm trying to find a nice 8.75/9" that ISN'T 32.5/33"+ long for some curb crushing. Wish the BLabels were shorter. I just can't do long boards.

I set up a Polar 1992 with Indy 159s and it works sweet for that. It is 32" with a 14.25" wheelbase. The shape reminds me of the G&S Mark Heintzman I skated back in the day, so I may be biased.

I think @144p had Heroin decks that were a reasonable length, not too long with a medium wheelbase.

Thanks guys!

I skate everything but mostly street and curbs.

I feel a lot more cramped on this board than I did on the 8.75 eagle I was riding before it so I might have to break out the tape measurer to double check dimensions.

I should have jumped on those Creature 8.8" Stumps (31.9" with a 14.25WB) but wasn't in the market then.

Wanted to reduce the amount of money I spend on skateboarding so now I'm preferring local brands since foreign ones prices went up like crazy due to covid.
Sunrise boards are pretty good, Clutch I believe, but this particular one had a hideous graphic so I spray painted it.
8.5 x 32
WB: 14.17
Nose: 7
Tail: 6.53

Sweet mother of god I hate this boards. Too much concave and super steep kicks
