set up a fresh unit yesterday

Bones Super Red
Mob
Skate Half-Cabs

Quasi 8.38 and thunders feel so good. Bones bushings in thunders though? I might be late to it, but thought they never worked?

[close]

Been running that combo for a year and a half and works fine enough for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Always did the same with bones and Thunders, loved that combo!

Got my 55’s in the mail as well as some 58mm’s. I put it on a spare 8.5 board I had just to see for myself what it would look like.
It’s not super hotrod but it bugs me too much. Isn’t Hockey doing a 9” now? The hunt for a nice 9 or 8.75 starts.

And it’s raining here today so I can’t see what the trucks are like. Need risers that actually fit the ace baseplates properly too

Not trying to tell you your business holmes..but 55s on a 9" Polar is heavenly. Actually they are great on a 8.75 Polar too.

55s on an 8.5 bugged me out too, I had to go 44s.
I didn’t mind them on an 8.6 funnily enough; and loved ‘em on an 8.75; both of those sizes being my last 2 decks (both The Killing Floor).
Medium concave, mellow kicks, round nose/tail.
I recommend.

On my 4th 8.4 Anti Hero deck…the dimensions are so perfect for me…

Is that the first industry insider set up to make the thread?

I need to try this shape out. Grimple stix graphic is so sick. Wish I had got one from that series.

Also @EmericaTM egg setup looking fantastic. Gotta be such a fun ride

I loved the Quasi 8.38 with Thunder forged, low and wide all the way!

If I so Bones and Thunder I use the Bones washer bottom and stock Thunder washer on top so I don’t get savage wheelbite but can ride them a bit looser cuz of the rebound.

I heavily back this recommendation, like more than i would back any other recommendation

Well i personally actually would equally/more recommend polar 8.5 or 8.6 with 55s depending on your liking

Love how stickers look on the nose, but hate how they feel/look when you first start doing crooks/noseslides

[RichardBarkley]

Blast from the past. On a toy machine deck no less. So fucking cool..

@EmericaTM any spare Emerica stickers... Send em my way.

[TwisT]

Serious question. Is there any sticker placement more iconic than the emerica sticker over the nose?

I swear they’ve never seen them sold that big.

[fredgallSOTY]

i wanted one of those so fucking bad as a kid

[pops]

Took Dane1 to test today. It was fun but felt super weird at first since I've skated much longer decks for a while. More about cruising around on that.

The phrase "standard issue" comes to mind when I look at my current setup, but I love it. Been skating it a couple weeks now but here's when it was fresh

This is one of those setups that I love/hate seeing because I know if I had just ridden this for the past 10-15 years instead of trying out 12,000 different deck/truck/wheel/dimension combos I'd be way better at skating.

I know exactly how you feel, switching it up is just too tempting for people like us...thankfully my current desires match up with what I skate well on but give me a few months and i'll be tempted in to switching up my setup again for something that i can't skate as well but i simply can't resist

Blue eagles gotta be the best overall board of all time. This setup is just so classy.

5.8's on an 8.25 is an amazing combo. Super stable and the pinch is perfect. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.

I don’t think there is.
But if these are sold I’d buy a nice stack lol
