Edit: They don‘t make twins, do they?

They don't, as far as I know...

I am pretty sure chocolate is pressed at DSM now (the Dwindle woodshop). Resin glue, super stiff, steep kicks, but mellow concave. Really good wood. At any rate they have the Crob twin if that’s your thing. Might be worth checking out.

I just bought a Chocolate and was surprised at how steep the kicks are. FA territory. It's a pop secret deck so maybe those are different molds? Top etchings look like standard Crailtap though so I would imagine it's still the same shop.

I’ve heard the pop secret decks are steeper, but I haven’t seen one so don’t know. If it isn’t DSM, but a different Chinese woodshop, all I can say is they are indistinguishable from the Dwindle R7 decks in terms of finish, board feel and durability.

I have a chocolate pop secret setup as a rain board. Can confirm it's not DSM. Kicks do feel somewhat steep, but has a totally different feel and markings than the Enjoi decks I've skated.

Enjoi 8.5
Ace AF1 55
Spitfire F4 Classics 60mm
Bronson G3

Found my perfect setup after few changes. Af1s + 60mm wheels feel so fucking good. Enjois steep kicks makes it just that much better.

Beautiful. Ace and big wheels are the move.

I built a set-up with a Chocolate G069 twin Crob 2 weeks ago and the marking looks pretty standard for a crail wood (printed 'front' and 'rear' though) :



Can't speak too much about the wood feel though. My previous crail or DSM woods date back 15 years. All I can say is that it is quite stiff, but feels and sounds like a pretty standard wood.

I have an Isle with a gorgeous purple bottom ply but a fucking yellow top. yellow is only one step above natural light ply as my least favorite. I don’t believe in the red ply superstition and would prefer those first.

Ha yeah it is a funny one, the old skater preference.

Never liked red tops.  Loved yellow and orange tops as they were all that most boards I rode came with for a few years and never had a bad one.

Natural tops just don't do it for me at all.  Natural bottoms are not a whole lot better now I have had some really good bottom stains more recently, but I can deal with natural bottoms if they had a nice stained top, or they skated well.

End of the day, if they feel good, no worries, but if they feel soggy, or uncomfortable, they will be gone very quickly.
Red tops, blue bottom, i love it.

I'm fairly sure the Chinese woodshops are equipped with the ability to do different laser etchings in decks. It's a really basic and easy tech and I wouldn't be surprised if one company has cornered the skate deck market for the most part.

I like that most double sided curbs I skate fit between the wheels. I got the hollow lights since they’re a 9” truck. The hollow light makes a board of this size not too clunky or heavy. I still was able to flip it around

As someone that ‘should’ probably stick with 147s, I absolutely agree with getting hollows on the big sizes (had hollow 151s, was stoked on them).

Update: that polar board was cursed or something, I absolutely love the polar 8.625, which is basically the same shape, but something about the 8.5 just made me forget how to skate. Gave it three sessions before giving up and setting this up in it's place.



Hockey 8.44
Lurpiv 149
58 classics
quantums
jessup
bronze

I decided to switch out the radial fulls with the classics for a bit, to make the board more normal while I recover from whatever curse was placed on me. After spending so much time on the fulls and slimeballs though, these things look freakishly tiny; like I'm riding some sub 50mm joints.

I was about to set up a more ledge friendly set up. I lost the box with the grip in it.

I’m going to do some shake junt this time. That video was so good I’m going to switch over from mob for a while.
Yo I wish I had the majik carpet grip. I would sell something dope for like 5 sheets so I can do some high quality art on it.

Ill intricacies of thin flowing lines. Maybe fill a few screen. Make a dope print in white and gold. If I could get 1 sheet I definitely save that sheet for my next set up. Really work on the top.

I’ll have same deck but a green bottom purple top. It’ll be hot out so I’ll chop and throw some green bushings in. They hard so I gotta chop it a little bit.
It’s worth it because I got green 3 ply risers.
If I had the green and gold grip with a dope thin line block print or something. Maybe print like a photo of the ledge I’m about to spend the next few months at.

Maybe I’ll keep it simple and clean put like a little character on it.




So this is where I went after giving up on breaking in that ledge without wax. I could only 50 both ways 50 nollie back shuv. Already filmed like way too many of those. So 1 crooks went. I tried half cab crooks because sometimes those go through the crust better but I kept sticking.  I try never to fall of the end. I want the lower end with pop outs so I gotta wax and fill the cracks.

So yeah

After I skated I was like ok it’s time for the M1 with the 14” wb.
the hollow trucks that I got like 10 grinds on but tones of cruising on
And my loopholes.

This red bottom is going to back 80 fakie nose grind forward. I got in to them but I was going slow and the board was just too heavy.

 Fakie 5oh is the dream but I have not gotten one since like 2002. My big wheels are to heavy for anything other than suski.
The loops will do it all. I don’t like square ledge wheels. I like tears.

The big wheel board I was riding at the spot after school is that old K shape 8.25 i been barely riding.
I got cast hanger hollow hanger and 58mm og classic on it.  Swiss bones. 3 ply risers. It’s more for the long long mission and for hills and transition. I love wallie impossible back 5ohs.

I need to get grip that’s going to be a bitch. I hope that nwf has shake junt.

I always Allen key.
Plz stop killing each other
