How’s that deck? Similar to FA? Really intrigued and want to support Hugo after watching his followed on pocket mag.

It's way different from an FA board. Kicks are pointy, tail feels a bit longer and slightly steeper, and it's flatter than an FA. If you just got out of a 10 year coma and never heard about FA, you'd probably still call it short and steep, but it feels closer to the standard BBS popsicle.

edit: did some investigative reporting. Board is overall longer and more tapered, but the tail seems about the same. Nose is definitely shallower. Sorry for the potato pics

Cracked my week old eagle on a poorly landed 360 flip. My back foot leadfooted through it. I was tempted to set up another eagle but I’ve passed over this Scram deck in the pile for months. Not sure of the woodshop; it’s got a dot between the front baseplate holes if that helps. It felt kind of clunky snapping it up into my hand. I’ll give it a shot and if we’re not giving some kid at the skatepark will have a new board by next weekend

It's pretty flat . Seems to be a IV in the press or something.
Got a good amount of wheelbite on this one..

First one from me  kind of older one:
Robotron (German brand/HLC Wood) 8.2x32,1 WB:14.25 N:7.1 T:6.75 mellow concave, full kicks

Super comfy setup right there. Love it, just wish that Gonz had a little bigger wb for me. I know they're supposed to slide well, do the softer dragons help with impact too?

Surprisingly, yes. They do absorb impact ever so slightly better than my typical 99 F4s

Got rid of the last of my four consecutive Neen twin noses today, on to the Foys. To be honest I am a bit scared to test it, even if it is a twin as well, its quite a bit shorter with shorter wheelbase and steeper concave.

Deathwish Foy twin tail 8.5 / a hair under 32 / 14.28 WB
Miles
Indy 149 hollows (stock)
Bones 100s (used to be 52 but now more like 46)
Swiss, one of them not spinning like it should
Diamond 7/8 allen bolts

I am going to change the wheels soon as I have some Lil Smokies and Swiss 6 balls lying around but I couldn't change the bloard and the wheels at the same time.

I also did a lot of grinds lately so the Indys wore down quite a bit to the point I often hang up on the kingpin, which is mildly annoying but doesn't justify getting new trucks just yet.

It felt clunky because it’s slightly warped. It came in this hard plastic instead of the usual shrink wrap. It skated decently enough that I’ll deal with the warpage for a while

I love scram as a company, so nice.
They don’t make anything I want to ride these days (8s) and that’s good for them.
Some of their boards I have ridden felt pretty wacky. No ollie zone.
Warped boards for me: if I like the board, I don’t care if it’s warped. If I do not like the board…AND it’s warped!? Fuck off I’d rather not even.

Just picked up these two the other day. Did one flatground sesh on the 5Boro and decided to save it as a wall hanger.

Your Indy's look well worn now. If you would like more grind clearance, you can cut your top bushing down like 2-4mm and use a angle grinder to shorten the kingpin. You can also shave down the bottom bushing, but that messes with the geometry if you remove too much of the bushing. I took my bottom bushings down like 2 mm and really like that feeling (wheelbase gets a little bit narrower that way).

I hope that 5boro graphic comes to the UK.
I love a simple clean graphic that shows off the wood grain like that.

I was a teenager the last time I knowingly skated a warped board. This one’s relatively fine even if it’s all I thought about while skating
