Clean! I love the Polar 9" pops too. I finally gave in after waiting two drops for one w/o wheel wells. I hope they line up with Ace 66s..if that's how ww's work 

I was eyeing this recently as my next back up as I set up my last back up deck.
I’d go 55s unless you’re into hotrodding, I could be wrong tho; might work.

I gave my 55s away so all I have left are Ace 66 and 161 hollows as options. I have the 66s on my current 9" polar but it is pretty stout for fliptricks, but the hot rod isn't bad.

Not 100% sure but the nose does not feel/look like an FA square nose, the long wheelbase makes it more similar to like the orange eagle also so yeah. And thanks

Sour 8.0
Venture 5.2 high
53 mm Spit tablets (down to about 50mm and perfect)
Swiss
Indy allen bolts

scored the deck at that Orchard sale.  Its nice and pointy.  Really happy with the Ventures surprisingly. 

[hmmmokay]

I've really been enjoying all of this lately, maybe it's just because I'm skating more, who knows.



Classic Eagle 8.5 (re-drilled to 14.5 wb)
AF1 55's
F4 OG Classic Shape 52mm
Bronson G3 (still no complaints, been about 4ish months)
SJ Hardware with the one green bolt
Jessup

Currently skating the Etnies Marana slip ons. Not bad for the price but I don't feel like these are going to last too long.

[Bristol_Palin]

Been waiting to skate this deck for several months. I bought two of them shortly after the dropped.

8.5 Quasi Justin Henry (Favorite graphic in a long time)
5.8 Venture
58 F4 OG Classics shape Spitfires (have another of these in sitting in my office too)
Reds
Jessup
Some bolts I bought from Seasons a while back.

[coexist3]

had this under my bed for a while

habitat 8.0
venture 5.2h
loopholes 52mm

[lazer69]

Blvd 8.5 x 32.5
Venture 5.8 bobby worrest truck - not pictured ( switched out thunder broken stock bushings with bones hard but they don't rebound back to straight so they feel like ass)
Spitfire classic 52mm
Random bearings
Jessup grip
Independent phillips hardware
Vans kyle walker

Looking forward to these shoes, the in-sole is nice thick and cushy.

Sized back up to 8.5 after skating 8.38 for nearly 2 years. Got tired seeing 3/4 of my size 12 foot hanging over the edge after I do a trick. Was tripping I wouldn't be able to flip it anymore due to extra heft but it's okay.

How fast do you go on that thing?

So fucking hot.  Are the Ti 169s worth it?  I was back and forth on ordering some, but got the Hollow Forged instead cuz less dollars.

[Lhotse]

"Life begins at 50!" 
I don't know because I don't want to know!  I have more pressing matters to worry about like keeping my teeth but depends on the hill and the road surface. On the right hill, it's fair to say that in a tuck in a draft train, you're doing about 70 mph before it starts getting really f*ckin' hairy but when you stand upright(slowly), the drag slows you down to about 45 mph on the same grade. Usually, you slide off speed before you get going that fast just to enjoy the ride and cruise at about 45-55-ish. Any slower and upright sliding starts getting more difficult and you have to Coleman more...or crash. lol PLEASE understand that these speeds are ''pullin' it out of my butt'' guesses, based somewhat on what people I ride with say. I've never been clocked or timed through a trap. I just freeride and have fun bombing hills and parking garages after midnight with my friends. I'm not some 'team rider'.

No, I chose 'Lhotse' because 'Chomolungma' is a too many syllables. At one time after I got out of the Army when I climbed a LOT I would have, except I've never had the $60-70,000.00 plus traveling expenses to attempt climbing the Himalayas but I DID summit Denali(Mt McKinley) in Alaska one year and The Three Sisters in Oregon and Mt Hood, Mt St Helens and Mt Rainer one summer. I'm 58 now and I can't trust my knees to carry me all the way through something like that anymore, so I gave up climbing but I still skate and ski like a maniac. 

[Murray Hewitt]

Lots of new.

Krooked Mike Anderson 8.38 x 32 (14.25 WB)
Venture 5.6 polish - Riptide pivot cups, flat top washer, extra inside washers to push wheels out.
SF F4 OG Classics 52mm 99d
Random bearings

Last Resort AB VM001 - yet to skate but they feel good.

Was running 8.5 deck with Venture 5.8s, love Venture stability but wanted a less hefty setup.

Honestly? Probably not worth the increase in price over forged hollows but if trucks last you a year+ then $30 extra bucks isnt a huge amount.

dats awesome man..i went on a solo trek in Nepal and did a multiday winter trek in December 2018 to January 2019..The Annapurna Circuit Trek & Annapurna Base Camp is such a beautiful trek.fairly easy for solo trekker. next plan would be Sagarmatha, to Everest Base Camp..maybe will try Mera Peak / Island Peak since its within the same conservation area.

Gotta be a troll.  Probably the same guy claiming that Joey T scammed him.

Never mind, after digging around a bit it looks like they must be Welcome rails (based on the 4 screws).

mattdlx posted about it in the WBSWB and I figured they probably knew what they were talking about. I got it from Cowtown but I think they just got their stuff up earlier than most and there will be more out there soon.
