I love everything about this setup, pop, feel, sound, visual when looking down, not worrying about direction; literally zero madness when skating, everything just works.

Thank you bro. I don't usually ride colorful wheels but these just look so good to me especially with the orange on the board. I look forward to skating this setup and seeing what it feels like.

Thanks. I started doing it that way to prevent grip thumb and reduce the amount of grip I need to cut, but I love the way looks too. Now if only I could skate as tough as my grip tape looks...

Wanted to change things up. Set up a Christmas complete and turned my old board into a whacky one

Lotties 8.25
ACE AF1 44’s
OJ EZ Edge 54’s
Bones Super Swiss 6


Same 8.1 eagle with 33’s, but this time with some bigass 65mm 95am Brand-X-Toxic swirl wheels. They make the board look like a cartoon board

Damn you put in work on those Aces. Also those are the skinniest 60mm+ wheels I’ve ever seen. How does it feel to skate those?

tom, Those wheels remind me of the kind that Tony Hawk was running in the late Powell era. How do they flip? I feel like it could be pretty great or not work at all

I didn’t find it to be too much of a noticeable difference from a more traditional wheel size. I could still pop and flip my board this morning. I could still lock into grinds on the park box and on coping. I could see them messing up how I do feeble grinds and crooked grinds because of how tall they are on the 33’s. The ACE AF1’s though? Ghost pop all morning long

Sadly, they are not for sale! I'll be keeping all my Indy parts so I can rotate hangar/baseplates across my set ups. I have the standard baseplates on my cruiser right now, actually.

Do the fastbreaks fit a size big like other cons?

[chris.]

I skated some suede Fastbreaks recently, and when I buy another pair I’m going a half size down.

Stoked to be back on PS Stix after the recent FA. It felt too stiff, and remained very stiff throughout it's life (I realize this would be a +1 for some) and the kicks which were troublesome to begin with became impossible after getting close to razortail.

The other board I setup for shits and giggles since I had the Ace 33s left over.

I can't bring myself to say that the urethane is better than F4, but I sure keep going back to them. Actually ordered a set of the 60mm Vs to try, now that I know about the vanity sizing nfg does.
