The Set-up Thread

[fakiefs180]

Treated myself to a new complete for my birthday last week. Finally had the snot wheels come in today and set it all up. Never had clear wheels before and now looking at these pics makes me look like I'm gonna be riding a giant tech deck

Pretty stoked about sizing down

[TheCrimsonShroud]

What size is is, dude?

This eagle was supposed to be an 8.12, but it’s actually an 8.25

That is crazy!

I feel like the graphic has changed somewhat too, as I had a million of the 8.12 black eagles and it looks different nowdays to my older ones.

They were 8.12 x 32 with 14.25 wb, so is that the standard 8.25 x 32 with 14.38 or something else?

Not a worry if you are not into measuring all dimensions, but just curious.

I think somehow it's missing the brown layer from the graphic. I'm sure it's a heat transfer but I think something messed up when they were printing them out and used em anyway. Looks kinda sick actually.

Those snots look cool...i was looking forward to get some, but looks like they’re all 101 and 99...would be great if the 51mm conicals were 95’s or 97’s

Shoot, I was thinking the same thing. I’d buy 90-95s in a heartbeat.

 Lovely setup tom. Those shoes look really nice on foot as well. Are they the 3st004?
Happy belated @CrimsonGhost -how do those snots skate? I read on Instagram some folks were reminiscing about the quality of the old Cockroach wheels and that they were such high quality urethane that Fos was trying to get the same person to do the urethane for Heroin wheels and I'm wondering if he was successful?

Proper. I borrowed an 8.25 Eagle deck when I was traveling last weekend, and I gotta say that it was maybe the most well-rounded skateboard I've been on in a while. A wholly effective and unpretentious deck. I can see why every random pro on DLX can be seen skating one from time to time.

Yes, exactly that.  I went and had a look at others and that is it.

They are all heat transfers nowdays, so even though it is still different coloured screens on to the transfer, they skipped / missed / were out of brown and it comes up with a much cleaner graphic, which is why it looked so different, especially round the text banner and the feathers.

So clean!!!

Aside from essentially the exact same setup am on at the moment (only difference is i ride 52 F4s) i think it's beautiful, that the bushings seem to be the same color as the wood ply underneath the graphic!
Please post after sliding that beauty a lil more!

Skated this same board back in January with some Ace 44s. I wear a size 11 and was worried it would be too small, but I was surprised by how full and comfortable it felt.

I really want one of these decks! How is the concave? ✌️

[close]

If its the same mold as the other UMA decks I've seen then its pretty mellow for a BBS. I'd call it more of a medium for other woodshops, but I think Evan might have used the same mold Element uses which is pretty flat compared to other bbs/gen offerings.

Cool! My local had one. Picking it up today.
