This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Breaking character:


8.25 FA board with an awful Jason Dill graphic
Emerica Gamma G6’s

I haven’t skated in almost a week. I had to have one of my big toenails removed, so I needed a shoe that wouldn’t press down too hard on my toes. This is the first time I’ve ever had an FA board too
fuck you bama

How are the G6 Gammas? I have the regular ones but they feel too roomy.  :( I wondered if the G6 version would feel more similar to KSL but probably not.

I’m wearing them because they’re a little roomy. I tried on the Spankys and they pressed down slightly on my toes which isn’t good for me at the moment. It’s a slightly taller toe box but similarly shaped toe box. The Spanky looks a little wider, but they feel almost the same

Set this up to practice more flat ground, but found that I prefer skating this as my main park board. I’ve been able to pop higher than I have in a long time and skating the small qp’s at my local feels good too

Okay. I think my right foot is slightly slimmer / different shape because my right shoes always fit a hair roomier but in only in the Gamma it really bothers me.

looks cool but why krux? never understood that choice
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

I’ve just never tried them and I like their team and their support of all genders, ethnicities and sexuality.

I’ve skated pretty much every other truck and love them all for different reasons, I often see people saying “unskateable” and that just feels like a fun challenge.

It’s all just a bit of fun isn’t it :)

@pizzafliptofakie how steep is the nose? I can't remember if it was steep or not. Is the tail long as well?

Fair, I think they’re an important team just because of the inclusivity and it’s quite nice to still have a few brands out there who don’t take themselves too seriously, anyway, I’m trying them out today, I might be back in a few hours saying FUCK KRUX THEY DONT TURN!

But how bad can they reeeeeeally be? (Potential foreshadowing)

Sure that set up might annoy some people but oddly enough, I dig it. The monochromatic theme saves it, in spite of Krux being paired with Limosine hahaha

Hope the ride treats ya well and the Krux actually turn! Their stock bushings are supposed to be really good tho. Not sure if they still are but that's all I heard over the years as a redeeming quality to the trucks
