Mini Logo 8"
Venture 5.2 V-Light
Spitfire 52mm F4 Classics
NB# 508
Thank you Fletch for putting me on to these boards, I absolutely love this setup!
I see a person of culture.
As of quality they are made in China now and it makes absolutely no difference between the USA made ones.
is the 8 flat too? lord and savior flat fletch was commenting about the 7.75 (kingly size imo, i’m working my way back down to 5.0s, but it’s taking a moment damn).
if the 8 is the most flat i’m stoked
^fletch doa was on the 8's for a minute.
I'm skating an 8 at the moment, the kicks are very mellow
It has concave but where I want it. 242 powell/mini logo is a really good shape imo
I'm on my 2nd and intend to skate more
thank you! shape code was also
helpful. semi skeptical because you said there was concave, but short of a time machine to 1995 to
ride a world board, concessions will be made.
@overwaxed yup. from like what? 2009-10 on, the big board thing has killed me.
blah blah blah: around that time went out skating with some of the local rippers, all of em quite a bit younger than me/also more talented. they were all skating fast, in the street, you know, ripping. i was way behind the pack. skating a less than 8, with probably like 50s, their group all 149s, 8.25 and up, 54s. it was really cool to watch people that had been putting in a lot of work in the streets, their comfortability was noticeable, and in contrast my whole shit was so dainty and…under ideal circumstances, acceptable humidity, low wind, smooth ground, correct pair of socks, at that time i could land some flatground stuff going super slow. but it didn’t translate into the wild. they were taking tricks they learned at the park, and blasting them down hills. it was like two completely different activities, on the one side, growth, the other, trying to carry as much sand as possible with bare hands.
of course i knew. but i chose to become confused and start trying to goldilocks together setups. i started a slap account to attempt to buy some used ti indy 149s, that were basically a just for men-esque attempt to still be out at the club. every year or so i’d shamefully slink into a shop, endure the judgement, put together a 7.75 with 129s/5.0s and creep around, inevitably bumping into some folks, some wise-ass never failing to point out my pinner board. land most of my shitty slow floor tricks with tears rolling down my aging cheeks.
now, even older, some 20 years past when i thought i’d need stop skating, i creep around with my tiny boards and do all of the same shit, but don’t land much. when’s the last nollie flip?
apologies to the lot of you, this is the wrong thread for blathering.
i enjoy the pics
