Lurpivs came, so I had to set up a fresh one

Polar Nick Boserio 8.625"
Lurpivs
OJ Shin Sanbongi 58mm mini combos
Quantum Isotopes
Jessup

Got the all polar steez
[close]

Really nice set up. How do the Lurpivs skate?
I like the lurpivs a lot after the first session. They turn like aces, but they're a little taller, so you can turn crazy sharp. Pop is also a little better too. Disclaimer though, this was a first hour in below freezing temps, so I've got no idea what these bushings will feel like in a week, or even in warm weather.

Atlas stickers on the Red Curbs deck? Interesting.

What woodshop is the Red Curbs deck?

Last I was told last year, South Central. I don't know if they ever changed woodshops because of covid reasons, but Red Curbs is pretty open about what shop they use.

Had the bold idea to try switching up truck brands and had a miserable time so I went crawling back. Figured I'd get used to some new ones now before indoor park season.

Gnar'd for being 7.5 gang..I have a similar setup except I went with 44s. I'm thinking of trying the 46ers next, How do you like them?
This one measures 7.625 actually but they advertise it as 7.5 lol. The 46ers are nicely shaped but I feel like I might be spoiled from riding NFGs because I can’t get past how inferior the urethane is. I flatspot these every session lol. They sound weird and feel sluggish at times as well. I’d love to try Boardy Cakes’ harder formula wheels, but I’m definitely going back to NFG 52mm teardrops after I’m done with these.

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

What woodshop is the Red Curbs deck?
Lol yup, if Atlas sold shop decks as small as Red Curbs does I’d be riding one of those instead. The last Red Curbs shop deck I had broke during its first session on a tre flip, this one actually made it through its first session.

Not sure of the woodshop but I know they’re made in the USA

Forgot to post the grip on that 7.5. It’s normal Jessup, I’ve been gripping my boards sideways recently, and making the middle line in the grip the center of gravity on my board. Also I have these funky looking Pig hardware that’s anodized to look like how titanium looks when its heated up, it comes off almost like tie dye. I normally don’t give a fuck about my hardware but I dig these.

Bought this birthday complete for myself





I got this because Rodger Bagley said it was one of the best boards he has ever ridden. So I put it together as a slappie setup. Ive been skating 8.25 for over 20 years back when that was a big board so I wasn't taking this too serious but I got a chance to skate a little transition with it today it might become my everyday setup. I'm impressed

Don't care what anyone thinks of Andy (He's fucking awesome and we'll see it showcased more in future video parts I hope), this board is one of the sickest and most interesting setups I've seen posted here. Even though ironically I hate the grip tape. The rails are dope lol.

Sometimes even I hate my grip tape job. Possessions are fleeting  so I usually get over it

Palace 8, 14.1wb
Venture Low 5.2
F4 52m Classics
Reds

So hyped on this. Switching over from Hockey 8 which is top notch.

Took it out for a quick spin and it works so well with the lows. Wood defo feels different to BBS. It's more flexy.... But not in a bad way. I'm digging this.

I’ve kind of blown off sub 8” boards since I had no choice but to ride one in the mid 2000s and then eventually started getting bigger boards once boards over 8.25” became more commonplace. They’re really light and nimble which is a lot of fun, it’s a lot less effort to learn new flip tricks

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

This is something I’ve never done before, but I’m claiming a do-over on my current setup. I switched everything over after setting it up.  The OJ From a concentrate wheels were terrible; posted my “review” in the wheels thread. ACE pivot cup was blown out and the baseplate was oblonged. They also started wiggling again when I tried to pop my board even though I tightened them up more than I personally find comfortable. My back started feeling sore and that’s a telltale sign that I need to switch my shoes



Same 8.25 Polar
Thunder 149’s
OJ Mini Combo
Re-cleaned Bones Swiss Six

NB 440 highs


I skated Thunder for 15 years and never had a single issue with performance. Glad I had these laying around

This is exactly how I gripped my new setup. I think it looks good. Also I really like the shape of the board. I wonder if they are going to stick with BBS or just use them occasionally.
