@ok are u talking about the clyde deck with the Steve Stedham graphic?
Also did you ever pick up one of the palace 8.25 x 31.5 x 14wb?
Pretty sure u were the other bloke on here who liked the sound of that shape
@Nth syd bear I didn’t get the palace! Dimensions sound perfect. Last palace I had was…very early on in their us distribution, an Olly Todd. I’ve wanted to try their shit since, but I’m pretty committed to buying stuff from local shops, so if they don’t carry stuff, it’s not happening. I’ve also gotten weird(er) about if a board stokes me out, and like to touch it, ogle the concave.
I should get called out for this, often, because frequently on here I solicit information, and/or opinions, claim to be all in, and then bunt it.
There was a thread here recently, about ‘dream setups’ or something of that nature, and of course I made a snide/shithead comment there, but I essentially do a different version of this with the vast majority of my posting here, where I satisfy some urge to consume, by talking about it on slap.
If I was in therapy, would I even post? Maybe not.
Pretty sure it was the Steve Stedham graphic, kind of orange ish background. Board was maybe 7.75 by 30.5. Wb was invented back then, so I dunno what it was. At the same time I got a drake jones bicycle graphic. Both boards were super sick, but I didn’t skate either long. I was really into over consuming boards at that time, and cycled thru stuff too quickly. I wish I got the same jolt of feeling that I got back then, the products these days just are not as exciting, for me.
@tom The amount of times I’ve been convinced of something being the most effective for me, loudly proclaimed my findings, all to try something different, on the very next setup is ‘interesting’, and possibly disheartening. Again, I’m probably just looking for some excitement, and something different …cooooould be better. Right!? Again, most of a mental health diagnosis. At this point, there isn’t a baseline. I have things I like, but I can’t tell if it’s because I skate better, or because I just like the thing.
And often I’ve skate well on kooky shit: the previous version of royals, p2 deck, lib tech boards, boards that were decidedly outside of the zeitgeist of the time period (usually too ‘pinner’). A too big part of my shit is being ‘stoked’ on the setup, and that frequently is connected to what is popping off in skate media..
