Have set up my first non shaped board <9 inch and non Indy / Ace board in over 10 years. Want to see how it affects my skating and if flip tricks get any easier.
Hockey John Fitzgerald 8.5
Thunder Hi 149
Spitfire F4 classic 54mm 99
Spitfire bearings cos they were super cheap.
Got the whole setup for about the full price of a Hockey board. Stoked on the Thunders, too. I wanted a stable truck to help with tricks as I have enough carve boards, but i'm suprised how much I like the turn, while it feels way easier to set up for tricks on. It's not a surfy, fun turn like Aces, but it's perfect for what i want it for. Think it works with the steeper kick too.
