Thanks! I've found 53mm is about the max I can do on Thunders before wheelbite becomes a real issue.

Was running a Krooked with 14.25 wheelbase and no risers. Was finding it a bit cramped with the Royals coming from Venture previously.
I'm fairly tall so wanted to step it up a little. The Royals are really fun, they are a great all-rounder truck. Liked Ventures but they felt a little too hefty for my lazy style of skating.

Fav looking setup in a while. Graphic is stellar.

Quasi Henry 8.5 (14.5 WB)
Royal 149 IKP (The new design)
1/8 Real/Venture wood risers
53mm SF F4 99d classic shape
Bones reds
1" magenta allen hardware

I've thought that graphic was so sick since it came out. Grabbed one of the boring quasi graphics though for shape reasons.

I’m on a g027 now, my second this year. I feel like I probably do my best skating on this shape

[geezer]

Yet another P2.  Polar Nick Boserio P2 shape 8.5x32.125 14.5WB
I didn't like the fruit lady graphic, so the spray paint came out.
A mix of some killing floor griptape tiles and some habitat grip.
Rib Bones
Ace AF1 55s with NOS Kreper inverted kingpins.  Stock bushings
Spitfire F4 54 classics 97A.  The curb spot just got resurfaced, so the 97 is less necessary now.
Bones Swiss.

P2s are so dope. Looks great. Blank/painted over graphic makes the shape even more obvious

[Frank and Fred]

Sick one @geezer

[nevrwasben]

Damn @geezer bottom up looks dope, I just can’t get down from the top view.

Finally able to post pictures again so here are my green rides on my green flatbar.

Main setup I've been riding for 1-2 months now:

8.3 Krooked Worrest twin
Ace low 55, stock bottom, bones medium top
1/10" mini logo riser pads
Stf 99a v3 54mm
Mini logo bearings
Not really wheel wells

My mental health setup that I ride on bad days without stressing to push myself. Just getting outside and roll, do stupid little tricks. On days like that I usually wouldn't skate because I'd just disappoint myself, this helped a lot:

9.25 Couch
57mm oski radials 99a f4
Ace 66
Shake junt night train bearings
Wheel wells

[Fhk]

Hockey 8.25
Bobby’s 5.6 Ventures
56mm classics
Jessup

My OCD is triggered by your griptape cut. 
I remember when someone turned up with this board at my local mini-ramp back in 1990.  Everyone crowded around him and were lusting after the graphics. I remember the moment so well and I always wanted one but they were very scarce here in London.  I managed to pick up one of the reissues but can't bring myself to skate it.

Money is tight and I had this one in the stack so I’ve gotta run through this one before I can justify getting some decks I’d actually want

I dig it! Man I wouldn’t mind trying this size out, I’m just not sure if I want to stretch to 15” WB. I’m riding my second standard 14.5 WB 8.5 DOA and love it. But that extra foot room would be nice….

Also that Deer Man ride is sick!

Yeah it was a pain trying to find one cheap here in Australia so I had to get one from the jk industries site itself. I think this is the 3rd one I’ve set up, they are a dream to skate and the graphic is so so sick
