Damn this looks great. Love your sticker job mate.
Are there any other companies who use these dims?
Creature is.. NHS I think? So maybe Santa Cruz and what else?

Thanks man. This is creature's "stumps" line which are shorter wheelbase decks. I'm not very familiar with NHS brands as I usually ride BBS and Ps Stix boards

Looks sick. I slept on the stumps and now I can't find them anywhere.

Love the blazers. Super curious how 6.1s skate. I feel like stability must be amazing

left my old deck in Texas, but its still the same.



Losers 8.25
Thunder standard whatever the 8.25s are numbered
Dark room triclops wheels 99a
Bones swiss
grizzly grip


I had rit dyed the wheels and they were a nice pink before, but as I figured, it's only surface level so it's mostly worn off. still Darkroom wheels are pretty damn good. I'm skating the Lakai maite Newports with the rubber toe.

Same trucks and wheels but this is a different deck

[FROTHY]

After years and years of skating Indy, I hopped on the venture bandwagon. I wanted to try something with a lower kick point. Bent the axle on both trucks in a couple months, mainly skating parking lots. I noticed it because the bearings on two of my wheels were grinding to a halt. I could see the bend in the axles when I switched bearings....

Indy mids are on their way from my local shop.

Christmas complete for the first time in a long time, but I've been just buying skate stuff from different shops online when I'm drunk that it made sense to set one up (actually with Kinetic I called them on the phone and had them describe everything in the store to me).

8.5 GX1000 I bought from NJ skateshop (This is mostly because I knew the shape and wheel base because I checked the exact board out before)
Venture 5.8 that I bought from Kinetic (first time skating ventures since highschool)
58 OG Classics shape F4 Spitfires from Seasons
Reds from Kinetic
some bolts from Seasons.

Seasons and NJ are lucky I just used the online store.

what pant

These are just wrangler regular fit pants bought it a like 2 sizes bigger than my actual waste size. I have a few pairs of them. Honestly I like they way the way the light denim looks with half cabs, they skate pretty good if they're bigger and they're dirt cheap. I think I got this part for like 12 bucks.

Alltimers team board i had on ice for awhile, 8.5 14.5
- Indy 149s, stock bushings

Which one do you prefer?

[lydius]

[Banned from the room]

I blew it.

No bolts for the wooden risers.

Was going loopholes with my good bearings but I was like fuck it. Winter bearings winter bushings deadly square wheels for now. I got more of these boards when they dropped. I know I'll have many more.
I ride a lot of orchard boards.

That shape looks really good. I think I wanna grab something square for my next board. How does something like that skate?
