The Set-up Thread

[TastyBurrito]

Can't fucking stand those band-aid shapes Quasi, FA, Hockey etc. use from PS Sticks. Saw that the new FA and Hockey boards are Bareback. That will improve the shapes they use (I hope) and cut down on the shitty QC.

FA/Hockey has been BBS for a bit.

But they do still have those band-aid, super big nose shapes. Takes some getting used to, but I do enjoy the steeper kicks in comparison to Quasi/PS kicks.

[user18081971]

Ive always loved tapered/pointy decks, but my Hockey board was probably the best board I’ve ever had. I felt like it improved my skating because of that rectangular shape. My board wasn’t steep at all though, maybe the nose just a little bit

[jakecker]

i know the quality is bad, but heres my setup:

Quasi 8.125
Independent 139 standard
Spitfire 52mm Tablets 99a
Bronson G3
Mob grip, Indy hardware.

i find these shapes super easy to do kickflips on because of the extra width on the nose, but i do see what you mean there is no reason for the nose to be as big as it is.

[Fhk]

Those big nosed F/A-Hockey shapes sell like a muthafucka. I have skated about 10 and the quality was top notch on all of them. They flip so good, but are definitely awkward to look down out

[munchbox]

only so many brands that make the band aid shape, if you dont like em there are countless options to choose from.

nobody is forcing you to ride a shape you dont like, leave them for those who do

[jakecker]

I love the FA/quasi board shapes, im just saying sometimes when i get one the nose is humongous and bigger than i remember

I'm not religiously devoted to the brand, but yeah, I've had two FA boards and they were basically perfect. I keep flirting with other shit but Polar and FA consistently have exactly what I want from a skateboard. I also firmly believe that FA is ordering "better" wood from BBS because their decks seem to razor tail more slowly and keep their pop longer than anything else.

[Woodshop]

My street skating setup:

Real Reneal Doves 8.5 x 32.125, 14.375 WB
Ace AF1 55’s
Spitfire Classics 99a 54mm (worn to about 52 now)

I’m not sure if I like the shape that much. I prefer a long and wide nose/tail, on this deck they’re slightly tapered/sharp and a bit shorter. I think I’ll also go back to a 14.25 WB next time, to compensate for the weight of the Ace’s. I think it’ll give me a slightly snappier pop.

The other DLX 8.5 is shorter with the 14.25 wb but still pretty much the same shape.

If you want longer rounder kicks, something like Alien Workshop / Habitat have that shape with 14.25 wb, but they are definitely longer kicks and wide to the ends.

Just a few options anyway.

Love this guy, ever since he did that piece for Jenkem, can't get enough of his purely scientific, no bullshit approach. I've learned so much about my own physiology and nervous system.

[sammyz]

Off popsicles for the meantime…i need to skate low curbs and flat ground, just so o can keep skating in my 50’s…for some reason when im on a popsicle all i think about is how big can i go. Anyway…

Was wondering since Roberts always calls it twin paddle, are the kicks slightly bigger than your usual tail? Almost like a mellow double nose situation?

The 9" pop was fun but exhausting, and the only other non-cruiser I had set up was my 8" DOA with Venture lows (nostalgia board). Had a blast skating it for the past week but I took a fat chip out of it, so I set up this blank from the stash.

I remember hating my last Clutch but the first session on this was nice.

Thank you, they're good trucks. The lows get hated on but they were all I skated pre-madness.
