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.

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

Emerica probably could have made enough dough to keep hsu, herman, and reynolds around just by selling those stickers for 10 bucks a piece.

Got this board and a new popsicle at the same time a little while back. I had no intention of this becoming my main ride but I brought both boards to the park today and the popsicle went back in the trunk pretty quick. The trucks and wheels are castoffs previously relegated to the shelf but everything comes together perfectly here. Bushing situation on the 44s is a mess with so much random crap going that it’s not worth listing. End result is something just a little firmer feeling though and that’s good for me. I need some of those new Ace hard bushings.

Deck feels great and I love looking down at it. Pretty mellow overall. The kicks aren’t too steep, my first impression was that they were steeper than they actually are. I love the nose, feels great for slides actually and this whole set up is making learning nose manuals much easier.

And again Dunks for my old, fucked up feet.

Setup looks so fun. The smaller wheels make the board look huge in the picture but in a good way. You are a lucky man skating those dunks. Definitely jealous

I thought that emericaTM was Trey Hill on IG so, like a man, I DM’d him. Nope. Not the same dude. But god damn I’m a big fan of Trey’s skating. White shoe gang.

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

[close]

I was about to ask @EmericaTM where he got this and realized he Emerica TM ha. What's the length? Looks hella good!

Hahahaha. Not sure on the length to be honest. It's actually a custom shape for Axel but I believe they started producing the shape on some of his new boards.

Nope haha but Trey rips! Please feel to DM me on IG whatever you were trying to find out.

P.S. Those nose stickers will be available soon for purchase and for shops to order as well as a ton of other classic stickers we haven't sold in a very long time.

Are the dots part of the wood itself or the graphic?
They’re pretty cool

Anyone got any weird things they do when they set up a board? I like to tighten my truck bolts in a cross formation but halfway tighten each bolt then repeat

That is the 100% correct way to tighten down the hardware. Don't ever trust anyone who tells you different.

The Dane was sick but I missed having a massive nose. Had a weird effect where I where I was whiffing board slides because the much smaller tail fucked up my muscle memory for lifting my nose. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Love all of Kevins graphics both polar and hockey, I really like how all of his boards on hockey are dipped black looks so clean, how come you're on af1 66's with an 8.5 how does it feel?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Technically not my board, but something I made up for the wife out of proddy I had laying around ice. On a loophole binge, but she wanted something a bit softer for smoother cruising so I went with F4s in 97a

I think you all know the look I was going for when I set this one up!

9" trucks work really well on hockey 8.5s from my experience. The extra width takes some of the "twitch" out of aces, so the turn is still super deep and surfy, but you feel generally a bit more stable. You get a bit of monster trucking, but I like seeing my wheels and the lack of taper in hockey boards makes keeps it manageable.

Might give it a go with my next set of trucks, I usually have 44's with an extra washer but I'll try out 55's next and see how they fare
