The Set-up Thread

[Fhk]

Damn the WBSWB movement is spreading like wildfire 
I love mine and I love all of you that love them too.

[Ok]

All these wideish boards with the nice short wheelbases have got me horny. Hope we start to see more of these out.

been dying to try this shape but its near impossible to find one in covid times. thanks @Buttfart Rapedick for hooking it up, first setup in the new apartment. 3 inside washers until I can get my hands on some ti (or hollow) 5.8s



scumco kiddie pool 8.75/31.75/14.0 wb
venture 5.6 hollows w/riptides+flat washers
f4 conical full 56mm 97a
swiss super 6

sb dunk lows/adidas tyshawns

hyped to move on from 8.5s, too cramped for my liking. this has just the right amount of heel hanging off at this width

that shape seems insane holy smokes. Need to try one. Awesome set up

I don't have hollow or tit but I have a brand new never skated pair of 5 8 thrasher colab ventures I'll trade for those 5.6

Goddamn that AWS looks nice. I was thinking anything above 8.375
was a no go from me, but the WB on this one has me thinking different. Hope you have some fun on that one @Xen

First session and I love it! Didn't lose any flip tricks and gained Frontside Caballerials (no pivot) with absolute ease (along with some other tricks)

Slappies. Clearly I've been doing it wrong all these years. Wider trucks and bigger wheels are waaaaaay better.

Perhaps I'm just a wide board guy now and trying to force myself down to under 8.25" for the past few years was an effort in futility.

Love to read it! Might have to give this big boy a shot. Loved feeling comfy on a bigger board, but always had a hard time flipping it. Thanks for the update!

Kickflips took a little bit of extra effort at first but I got used it, I thinks it’s more the weight of the board than the width. Impossibles were a little slower but everything else was normal. The front (full) cabs sold me...I can do them pretty well but not like today’s successes...started throwing in bigger heels and I was getting really close.

Also, I rip on Indy a lot but I’ll be damned if these 159s in this configuration/ bushing setup didn’t feel on point...and coming off tensor I was ready for the grind struggle but the ease of getting on and locking in helped extend the grinds just not as far as the mags...and I was slipping out.

Everything about it is just easy and comfy.

Better hurry, I just picked up two more; tactics has one left.

I picked up a bunch of 8.18” recently now I’m stuck with them

Haha I can relate. I have 3 8.25s right now and have been thinking of going for a wider boy, especially for park skating.

I don't usually go through tactics but thanks for the heads up! I'm on medical leave right now, but once I'm back to work, and not living off disability I'm gonna definitely invest. Hopefully the place I go through (mum's the word but you can probably easily find who if you go through my post history) has these bad boys. Thanks again Xen!

God damn, this is a perfect popsicle set up, in my opinion.

Tangentially related, can we get some more Dane footage? I’m dying for some new shit from him. I know he was in the polar rico video from 2019 but I think that’s the last shit he’s been in?

[jay_nev]

@Surf The Earth  yep perfect popsicle set up. Ran something similar with the previous season polar 9” pop. How do you like it? No risers?

There’s a pretty sick photo of him in the Mason SOTY Thrasher. Gave me hope that there’s something coming soon.

No im rockin some 1/8th generic risers. One sesh in, and I love it. I was on the Dane1 which was super fun but that extremely short WB got squirly at times, and since im mostly hittin transition the 14.5 wb is a lil more stable. I will be throwing some 159 ti i have on the dane 1 cuz Im not ready to be done with it. I also have the new 1991 on ice and it's supposed to be right in between the Dane1 and the Pop as far as wheelbase goes which might be perfect. Ive been riding shaped decks for over a year so it feels nice to go back to a popsicle with a fat nose

I often find my self going back to i like it Here, and We Blew it At Some Point to watch some Dane footage, and I certainly think we are due. I know him not always putting stuff out and being kind of off the radar adds to how special his parts are, but I still would love something new.

Damn that looks nice.
How different are Hockey/FA shapes to usual DLX shapes? I am contemplating if I should get a Hockey, Quasi or Killing Floor next. They all have that ~31.75 length I adore so much. Never had one of these brands before but it is getting harder to find AWS decks with that length in Germany.

"8.38" Toy Machine, this deck is actually more of an 8.5 throughout and tapers to 8.38 on the tail. really love the pointy tail and mellow concave on this one. this deck was also listed at 32.25+ on several sites, but actually measures in at 31.8, just goes to show you never really know what you're getting when you purchase online.

Thunder 149s, stock everything
Spitfire F4 52mm radial slims.
generic CCS bearings with the damn shields coming off all the time. i'm taking them off as they lift up
Emerica Dissents, just a simple pointy cupsole. got one more pair on deck for the rest of the year

*side question: what is the difference between Radial Slim, Tablet and Lock-In shapes? they all seem pretty similar.

[jtrpma]

Radial slims are a little more rounded, Tablets are more squared and have a tiny bit more riding surface and the lock ins are wider in general and asymmetrical, so the inside is square and the outside is more rounded.
In the end they are all very similar

If I go on feel the shape is flatter concave with steeper kicks, small square tail and massive steep nose. DLX is more rounded popsicle with slightly more of a concave but mellower kicks.

I've had the 8.25 alien before and its very much in between the Hockey and standard DLX, big nose and tail but more rounded. Cant go wrong with any of the above but like i said I'm on my first Hockey/FA shape and it being on the far side of the spectrum it feels really good and functional. I say try it, if its not for you then you know.

I do however notice its fairly stiff and heavy but i like it with the indy ti's (bbs pressed)
