56mm loopholes are so sexy! I just converted a 2 guys at my local

agreed!  some day I will get some. the 97a f4 lured me away from getting loopholes. bought 3 new sets of f4 this summer. dont even like the 56mm 97a conical fulls.
every time i get that shape in a size bigger than 54mm I dislike the look of them so much and it takes forever to actually using them enough to wear them down to a pretty shape.

talking bout the set up

DOA flat as fuck 8.5 Devine Fists
Jessup
Generic hardware
Bones Swiss 6
PFC 53mm
Indy 159 Hollow
Real 3ply Riser

the 8.5 "flat as fuck" probably start feeling more like a standard 8.5 deck.....not sure if i ever got into this, but the "flat as fuck" concave is actually a concave made for larger vert decks so they don't feel like soup bowls. it gets super mellow on smaller decks.  Oddly enough, i've started hand picking boards out of the stacks of regular decks that are way mellower.  I have NEVER been able to ride a south central standard kick board in all my years of using them.  This run, ive found about 8 out of 1000 that are good to go. also hyped to see some PFC wheels on there.

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.

maybe it’s not about the product being “better” per se, but more about how it feels. Case in point, some people prefer PS Stix to say SC wood. SC quality is clearly superior but if you enjoy PS better, then who am I to argue?
Every time I ride my setup with 56mm v-cuts, I have a massive grin on my face and at the end of the days that’s all maters!

Big step up in deck width for me!

AF1 55's
Nasty ass reds that need replacing
Spit F4 Conical Full 56's

I have been riding 8's with my wide trucks poking out for too long. I used to like how it felt until I threw an old 8.5 on these trucks and felt that first kickflip... This thing has short short wheelbase so I'm excited for a nice long flatground session tomorrow.

[Velcro Wallet]

For the last 6 months maybe more I’ve been riding football shapes of all sizes.

I stood on my friends FA and went straight to the skate shop. I fuxking LOVE it. I’ve got the same size Gino in the mail.

Oh, 144 Indy’s, Arrow slim 54mm 85 coffee cruisers , Bones reds.
Louie Lopez. Good shoes!

How are those wheels? I have ricta clouds 92a on my cruiser board, but I think the shape makes them feel more clunky that what I prefer. I actually like to flip my cruise setup

They rule!!! Me and my friends have been running soft wheels strictly for bombing.

Went to this new suburb that being built here and it’s FULL of amazing, smooth ass downhills and parthys. I was doing the longest sess slides and felt in control 100% of the time. I normally wouldn’t slide a wheel so soft but I had no choice, had to wash of speed.  Plus I like the fact they are slim. I thought I ruin them but after a day of bombing hills and slides but  they are still perfect.

They were cheap as too.

Gonna take it out this afternoon to the curb spot

Damn that Nate Jones re-issue is beautiful.

Thanks Rocklobster! really liking it so far, one session in...Nice and mellow concave

[Uncle Jeffrey]

About to break in my first set of spitfires, and some emericas. Thanks Sale Thread.

[gsosa]

First time getting a (quasi) christmas complete, I really want to get my trucks to the axle.


Roger 8.25  -So stoked to be able to ride a Roger finally, I told the dude at the shop that I wasn't into the big fat nose with deep concave shape which is seen on a lot of boards now and that I wanted a Roger, and he recommended the K mold  (Shout out Deli Skate Shop in San Antonio) which has a more mellow concave and a more rounded out nose. I would say it is an intermediate of the Baker I had before this and the AWS I had before that, I really like it.

Back on the loveseat this morning..such a fun shape.
Even more fun with 6.1 lites and risers. It's gonna take severe madness to stray from this setup.

[shawngreg]

^looks awesome dude, probably a ton of fun.  i've been getting more and more interested in those bigger shapes.  whats the main difference between the couch and the loveseat?

Thanks.

Bronze 1 inch allen

Crockett Highs

Recent madness caused me to put together the biggest popsicle I’ve ever had. Skating a Cafe 8.25 and it just felt too small. Also wanted an excuse to try loopholes. Got the Crocketts on clearance from the vans website, even copped a second pair of the ‘incense’ colourway as theyve dropped even lower in price now.

Nice setup  Where did you find Manderaon SFWs in F4? One of my favorite wheels but only ever seen them in classic spitfire urethane.
