The Set-up Thread

[white guy in a durag]

Too sore to skate today, but I set this up any way so the sight of it by the door, un-skated, can haunt me.



Evisen Shor West "Sticky Face" 10.34"
Ace AF1 55s
56mm Conical Full 97a
Quantum atoms
bronze

Tried to go for the rip tape, but this sheet is kinda old and  second tear wound up pulling the grip away from the adhesive. Had to cut the fucked up part out and decided not to push it.

Looks so good. I want to try that shape so bad but my last few PS boards were not so good.

I’m excited to give it a whirl. What didn’t you like about your last PS board? It’s been like 8 months since my last one.

Too much flex. I like a really crispy board. I could have gotten a couple bad ones. I'm going to go to the shop and stand on that one today and if it feels even remotely OK I am going to get it.

Beautiful. Love the shape. What's the length and wb?

width (front truck): 9"
width (back truck): 8.25"
WB: a fat 14.75, I could call it 14.875
nose: 5"
tail: 6.75

Thought about getting this one. When I first got back into skating over a year ago, I skated the 8.65 x 32.25 or whatever shape they use to so. I started to hate it because of the flex. I kept it but skated a different deck.

I returned to it a few months ago, and actually thought it felt pretty good. Maybe I lost some weight too😂. Anyways, I passed on this one because I thought it might feel too small.

This was asked many times before but fuck it, how's minilogo griptape?

Pretty standard really. Not quite as black as name brand but it’ll do in a pinch.

Broke my board yesterday on a kickflip. Pretty sure I cracked the first layer on this one doing a fakie flip. A free board is a free board though, so I’ll skate it until it fully breaks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice. That is such a good looking Hjalte board. How do conicals feel in Stage Xls instead of barrels?

[somethingmustbreaknow]

for me, i think the turn is a little bit sharper if that makes sense. but the main reason i buy these aftermarket conicals is because  the stock barrels always break after some time and i don‘t like fucked up bushings or putting in new ones in old trucks. these aftermarkets always last me as long as the trucks.

That setup is beautiful @moonordie Upsidedown city with people falling out? Sick. What does the top graphic say?

Exactly that.
Sobreviviremos juntxs a estos estados terroristas de mierda. Translation would be sth like: Together we will survive this shit terrorists states.

I got a Santa Cruz slick I bought with all intentions to ride, may just set it up after seeing yours.
Does the slide become way faster on a slick versus a regular deck?

Yea, the slide is way faster but also more consistent. Learned to sit on fs blunt slides with this one. Highly recommend.

[white guy in a durag]

Fuck it, two set ups on one page. Being kept inside by the rain, so I'm just gripping boards and bolting shit together to stave off the cabin fever.



Polar Aaron Herrington "Mausoleum" P2 (8.5")
Ace AF1 55s
Loophole Chris Athans 56 V cuts
quantum Isotopes
Bronze
Jessup

Swapped the AF1s from the shor west deck to this because it felt too tippy on the 8.5 trucks. Put my 55 classics on that and plan to embrace the hot rod.

I'd say they're pretty mellow. The kicks are identical to the 8.625 I have, so there's a pretty good chance you've ridden them if you've tried other polar deck.

That p2 fucks evan harder, looks so fun. How are the loopholes compared to f4s?

Pre sure the cow graphic was the first graphic they ever put out lol, cool that they reissued it



Edit: my bad for shitty formating

I've never ridden the f4 101 so I can't speak on those, but compared to the 99s they're more prone to slide. This is probably a bad analogy, but I feel like the f4 slide is like drifting and the loophole slide is more like hydroplaning (but in a good way). The real magic for me is the shape of the wheel; the V cuts have the widest contact patch I've been able to find at 56mm, so they're fast and plow over everything.

Ive skated both f4 duros so no worries, wish it was easier to get smaller brands where I live, id be down to try em out but I dont think any shops in montreal have em
