Every time I go on a gear madness journey I end up right back where I started

Quasi 8.5
Thunder 149 w/Bones Mediums
Spitfire F4 99 Classics 53 mm
Bones Swiss
Mob
Skate Half Cabs
[close]

I should know this…

Is that the shape that tapers to like 8.25 at the back?

I mean you got a lot of the good stuff there, so I can see why you comeback.
Halfcabs on mob tho, that break your ankle flick
[close]




I just checked and  yeah, it does taper a bit. But the kicks are mellow and they feel more blunt than pointy to me. It's one of the PS ones and those shapes always work well for me.

The PS ones are the best, and for me it’s not close. It’s a great shape


So not all Quasi decks are made at PS woodshop?

Some are on BBS. But in my experience PS seems to be the majority.

I'm currently riding the Alvarez deck (G052) from this series with Thunder 148s as well. It's a solid and fun setup. Are you using yours for cruising, bruising, or both?  :D

Only photo I have right now. Took off the big ass riser pads (I ordered the wrong size but they served their purpose for cruising) and replaced them with the Real wood 1/4 inch risers.

Dane 1
Ace AF1 55
OJ Super Juice for cruising/Spitfire Classic 56 worn down to 52 for everything else
Bones Reds (I think the OJ’s have Big Balls in them)
Mob always
Also threw on some Heroin Glowsticks

So many fun looking set ups in here lately.
Here’s something I put together recently, to pass the time on a rainy day.



Krooked 8.5” w/ 14.38” WB
Ace AF1 Hollow 55s
Spitfire F4 99 Conical 54mm
Bones Swiss
Roughneck 1” Phillips
Jessup LS3 custom grip pack
Various stickers

Hope you got to skate this weekend.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Element 8.75/32.75/14.75
149 Mids
101 Radial Slim (52ish now)
Assorted bearings
Indy 7/8 Allen

Finally bit on some sales - new deck and I’ve always been curious about the Mids. First session felt crazy good. Deck is China made, great shape and dimensions. Not an Indy dude but I’m loving these mid trucks. Indy hardware is the best all black hardware I’ve found too. I’m going full hellride.

This looks great. To my eyes, the hangar on the mids looks more like the older stages than the 11s do. It always tempts me, even though I absolutely do not need any more trucks.

Why would you deliberately use Ace nuts? I had at least on axle nuts and a kingpin nut (from smiths) constantly turning loose on my af1. Swapped them out and no issues since then. Never had that with the kingpin nut on any other set of trucks. Wonder if it was the nyloc on both types of nuts or if it had something to do with the rethreading gimmick as well on the axle nuts.

These are the old “38 specials” ace had out years ago that are the same size as hardware bolts, I found them a lot better at holding up to landing primo so I bought up a bunch when they stopped
