The Set-up Thread

New ramp/park board/need a little spice that a standard shape doesn’t give me board. One of my all time favorite graphics. Pretty functional for flip tricks

Sick setup! Love seeing trucks other than Indy on shapes like this.

Set this up a couple weeks back but only had time to get one slappy session so far. Hopefully will take advantage of the US holiday tomorrow and get a proper skate in



8.125 GX
Indy 144 standards
54mm F4 classics (worn down to around 52)
Reds

Tried this on thunders initially and wasn't a fan. Hoping Indy feels better

new board after the first session

krooked brad cromer 8.5 x 31.8 x 14.25
venture 5.8 standard, flat top washer, element bushings (they got mushy as fuck and feel so fucking good now when skating but they don’t snap back to center)
spitfire f4 og classic 58mm 99a worn down to ~51mm. i would get new wheels but there are literally no f4s over 53mm in poland right now and even those are all classics.
pig bolts, random bearings, no name grip
lrab vm001

last time i posted a set up here i skated these shoes about 3 times and got a lil ollie hole, but they’re actually pretty good. i superglued that ollie hole and they’re about a month old now and i skate almost everyday for an hour or 2, they’re still ok to skate in but the sole is almost bald and i’m probably going to put a hole in it in a few days. the rubber on the sidewalls lasts pretty long, usually after a month i would have no rubber left where i kickflip.

Really stoked on the shape/dimensions for this one. Can we get a top shot?

Excuse the grip job.  Marked the end of a pretty solid flawless gripping spree for me.

If you haven’t tried them yet, try the deluxe supercush bushings. The purple 97du aftermarket’s are amazing.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Damn there are so many sick shaped boards on this page!



I was hoping to wait till my new wheels got in before I had to switch decks but oh well…

Looks good man. I was more or less joking about how it managed to post like 15 times. Happened to me a few times before.

I'm digging the aces. First set. Had a couple gnarly bails that I'm attributing to new trucks but over all they feel nice

[manysnakes]

Primitive 8.38 (sticker said made in China but top ply has bbs dimple)

I ordered two Primitive decks from their two-for-$80 sale and both of mine are like this. Sticker says “China” but has what I understood to be the BBS dimple. For legal reasons, the sticker is more likely to be correct than the dimple guesswork assembled on Slap, so I assume that more than one manufacturer puts a dimple on their boards. Either way I absolutely love that deck.

[typeischeap]

Me: I've found my goldilocks setup, the madness is over.
Also me: What about Ace's to bring those big board wb's in?

I don't expect this to be my daily but who knows...will be fun to go fast on and power through wheel bite at the very least.

that’s a great looking setup! i’ve ridden this exact shape a few times with 55s and loved it. Bet it feels really comfy on the 60s!

I don’t think the dimple is a confirmation anymore. My primitive Frankie football didn’t have it. If you look and some new real or DGK stuff, it doesn’t either.

Crail hot summer box came in the other day and I just set this up instead of the hockey deck which still has plenty of life. Also have 4 weeks before my wrist is healed so this was fun to set up, but now I just want to ride it... Wish I had the skills to do something as sick as deepspace but this will have to do.

Got this on the Uma sale since I wanted something a little less flat. Little bump up on size but feels good and can’t be mad about that bbs wood

Conical full 53’s
Pepper grip which seems fine.

Had no idea they make bushings. I'm beyond shocked.

ive had a couple primitives this year, had this same deck actually. same dimple, same 'made in china' label and it sogged out within a week. so i assumed it was sub par chinese board. i was gutted as i really liked the shape. the bbs was also an 8.38 but the dims on the sticker were different to the chinese one. primitive are really hit and miss in the uk atm. there are some bbs floating around but alot of these china mades too same as toy machine, zero etc. too much of a risk/hassle to mail order. went back to crail decks as i know what im getting.

Curious if those boards have similar concave, or different concave, eg BBS has spoon like concave, especially in the kicks, but the other boards are usually much more flat on the kicks, same as most other woodshops on the market.

Also are you guys meaning a dimple as in a blunt instrument dot (BBS usually has about a 3mm wide dot) or more a nail mark in the wood?

Not a worry any which way, but it is interesting to me, given I am not about to see any of those boards in person, but am quite familiar with the different concaves, board markings, etc, as per the first page on the woodshop thread.
