Just ordered the same wheels, and I’m really stoked they’re so white. The first graphic that came out looked really potato in the pictures.

That’s pretty Skate1 setup. How stoked are you about it on a scale from 1-10?

yeah i had the potato version when they got released lol the white wheels feel more grippy compared to them but i like that better, going to be putting some ace af1 hollows on this tomorrow then should be a 10, really can't turn on thunders compared to ace

at least you were smart and kept yours….i gave mine away and whenever this fucker posts a setup i start twitching.
the classic 55s even make the conical fulls look pleasant.

Do it. Classic 55s feel amazing on 8.5s

Damn. Lock in fulls make this look like a tech deck. And I'm loving it.

Big East Coast/ eastern exposure vibes in this and big ups on you being back on the board! Have fun

It feels good to be back. Lock in fulls are definitely the most tech deck wheel out right now, usurping the radial fulls with their more square profile.

The tiny wheels surprising didn’t really feel much different. If anything i had a quicker flip because of the weight difference. But that’s it. I’m gonna switch back to regulars wheels

definitely in love with this shape, this is the second i've bought so far and i can see myself buying a third
wheels are super worn - down to about 48mm from 56mm when i bought them, the extra contact patch is nice though

Why do you have the loose trucks kit when your kingpin is cranked with like 3 threads showing? Stock flush would be the same.

setup looks sick


i haven’t really messed around with my loose truck kit, mainly due to me just having too many parts. but. they are looooooooooose.
i probably shouldn’t have bought the aptly named kit

most aesthetically pleasing board on this thread IMO
Kinda sick of seeing >8.5 boards  with > 8.5 trucks tbh. Went through a 8.75 and 159 phase at 12 bout 10 years ago, was great til I couldn't kick flip consistently in front of the Boss.

[gaunting]

the second out of 3 new decks I just bought.

*habitat Stefan 8.125x31.5 14” WB

*venture titanium forged 5.2 w/Indy 78a bottom bushings, and white stock venture bushings (90a?) on top

*worn down spitfire 52mm big heads (waiting on a new set of the gnarhunters big head wheel they just dropped.

*bones reds bearings.

*shake junt X baker bolts 7/8” allen

*dat jessup OG

also wanted to add, when I first opened the box, and saw the concave on this board, I immediately went into a panic, lmao. this board has to be the steepest board I’ve ever skated. but within 5 minutes of skating it, I loved it.

I’ve had habitat boards in 7.8” and 8.0”, but never a 8.125” it’s the complete opposite of the rassvet board I have on my other complete (aside from the same width) but in a good way. nollies are very fun to do with this board.

i’ve had some gear related crisis, in public. once was wearing some nikes that were….shit, which ones came right after the e-cue? i skated really well for me in the e-cue, got the next ones, and had those super sick ollie’s where you are not connected to your board at all. fucking sucked. and of course it was during a session that was cool, and rippers were ripping.

I had a friend make fun of me because of this and then they almost immediately had wheelbite after pushing on my board.

The loose truck kit makes a massive difference.

ok,

but riding them and cranking them down, like the other poster doesn't make a lot of sense.
