Love the succulent stickers
Thanks! They came out of a pinata a couple weeks ago.


Tears form in my eyes when I see our sticker on a board. 

And where did you get the Dolly one?  Holy crap!
Loving the bearings! The Dolly sticker was made by a friend out in Beaumont, TX: http://www.drawcomicdesigns.com/new-products-1 Looks like she has this and a couple other designs left from her last release.


Very cool.

Are they club cs?

Yep. Since I got these I’m constantly checking for more.



I only skate prime numbers, so it's either 53s or 59s, feast or famine

Chocolate Yonnie Coldsorez 8.18" x 31.5" pop secret (G028)
Grind King disruptor 5.5 (8.125" axle)
Bop Shop 53mm 99a wheels (klasiq shape)
Bop Shop "1.60934 kilometers" grip (comes with a paper maché razor)
Pusher bearings

Saw the trucks were on sale and my curiosimadness got the best of me. Also been wanting to try these boards for a while because I have a 6 ply factory sample/prototype pop secret that I really like, and this shape is right in my wheelhouse in terms of dimensions. The shape is classic crail with the straight rails and mellow concave but kind of steep kicks. So far I don't hate it but holy shit is it stiff and I think I'm going to have to experiment with other trucks because it feels pretty heavy.

Wb and what are the GK like ?

14 wb, Crail actually has a very nice site with full specs of all their currently offered shapes for those of us who weigh our trucks and use digital calipers because we swear our current board is thicker/thinner than the last one (aka are mentally ill).

GK have actually surprised me so far. Sometimes I buy stuff kind just for the fun of trying shitty gimmicky skate gear (of which GK have long been the...well.. kings) and then it surprises me by actually being pretty good. I'm not totally ready to say these fall into that category yet because I've only got 2 days on them, but so far they're better than I was expecting. I am taking them off this setup already but it's more because I don't think they're a good fit for this deck than for any other reason. They're not heavy but not light either at 361g, which I guess isn't bad for a full cast truck but they're also only 8.12 axle. Turn is good. Didn't blow my mind but they definitely ain't krux, and I like the weird metal bushing cap thing. The bushings themselves feel pretty good, I'd guess probably right around 90a... they're very pliable like the improved indy stock ones so I did have to crank them down a bit to avoid biting any time I landed weird or tried to take turn too sharp. Grind felt fine, pretty much the same as indys. Overall I'm going to have to try them on a board I'm totally comfortable with to make a real decision as to whether or not I like them, but I can say they're well made and the materials are good.

Girl G052 Pop Secret
Venture 5.6
Spitfire F4 54 (worn down to like 50 i think?)
Bones Reds

What was mentioned earlier about Pop Secret being heavy- I've definitely felt that. I have a Real Mason deck on ice, and was amazed how light it felt in my hands, since this is my second Pop Secret in a row. But it's not fucking with my tricks, so I guess it's all good.

Crailtap graphics have been more hits than misses recently, but they do best when they keep it simple with their iconic logo. I got shipped a 8.25 Pop Secret on ice, add that to the pile of decks I will get down to skating eventually.

Good choice on the trucks. I was thinking about getting them too but got forged hollow 149s instead and I'm glad I did. Also this setup is a beauty.
all this indy talk has me tempted. haven’t skated some in a long long time. anyone know if the forged hollow 149s are taller than thunders? currently ride thunder teams with 1/8 risers.

Thanks! I'm not disappointed at all, and they're only gonna get better as they break in.

I believe thunders with team (cast) plates are 52mm high? (Someone might correct me on this...) and forged plates indys are 53.5, so not that much higher. I think the geometry of indys make them more manageable with bigger wheels though, if that's your concern.

I feel like Indys are the perfect wife. I’m almost down to the axle on my forged 144’s back truck and I love them. I also had some forged 139’s before and I have nothing bad to say about them. Just well made trucks that work. I’m super tempted about trying the new Ace’s next but I love how reliable my indy’s feel.
Ace’s are like that mistress that is always in the back of your head. You’re tempted to give it a try but she’s not as trustable. You might have the most fun ever or catch her in bed with your best friend, you never know.  :-[
