Great color.

Mini logo bearings are great. Spread the word

I second the Mini Logo bearing endorsement. Just as good if not better than Reds and several dollars cheaper.

Also let us know how the egg goes boneless900 I've been considering getting a few of those

Polar 9.0 14,5WB (third in a row)
Ace 66 AF-1 with bones hard bushings

Bronson G3
Last resorts VM001

[TerrorizedCivilian]

Sour Barney Page 8.25
Indy 144 standards
Spitfire classic 56mm
Bronson g2
Shortys 1 inch
Black magic grip

This setup is perfection for me, if only I hadn’t cracked a ply or two on it already, feels amazing.

Any chance someone can ID this deck for me?  Picking up this dust collector complete off someone because it’s cheaper than just buying a new deck.  Lady said it’s an 8.5.  It also comes with Thunder Hollows and “Acid Chemical” wheels, if you can hazard a guess what width the tricks are by the pic that would be dope too.  Thanks homies.

I'd say 149s

If they are current gen Thunders they should have the size printed on the underside of the hanger.

[Coastal Fever]

Thanks guys, hyped that it’s a Killing Floor deck.  Hilariously enough, the Thunders are 147s.  Hard to tell from pics but it is indeed a magic carpet to the max.  Fuck it though, threw some Thunder extra hard bushings in there and will try it out.  Can always throw my 149s on it if need be.  Hard to complain about a $60 unskated complete.

[Ok]

if you give some time to adjust, strong likelihood of realizing some benefits to the smaller trucks. 3flips about to be on.

^Just a heads up 147s are 50mm tall compared to your 149s at 52mm so look out for potential wheelbite. I didn't know until recently that 147s and down are 2mm shorter than what I normally would ride. 49mm if there's a forged plate.

[Vexed]

147 checks out, there’s a tiny wheelbite mark pretty far in there

[Coastal Fever]

Yeah I tried them out with a half hour flatground sesh and immediately switched back to my Indy 149s.  I know that’s not long enough to get used to new trucks but after riding Indys my whole life I’m not sure I can switch now.

i appreciate/am envious of, your lack of curiosity

Met Ryan Townley at the skatepark, he was super cool and his "shape" was similar to the Polar P2 so I wanted to give it a shot. Had to include the top shot, I love a heptagonal ass shaped board

The gfb egg has been remarkable for me. I'm ashamed to say, but I've completely sidelined my g096 popsicle setup after two sessions. The egg is my daily driver from now on without a doubt.

The g096 is a great popsicle deck so I'll keep in it my quiver, but the wb on the egg makes my timing feel much more natural instead of being so rushed and cramped with the twin tip. It's still early days, but they accidentally sent two decks instead of one so I'll be on the 9.1 egg for the foreseeable future

In short, I highly recommend the gfb 9.1 egg. Could be a good alternative if you have any reservations about riding a board with Heroin on it

148 Thunder titanium’s
52mm 101a ricta natural slim
Bones Swiss
Mob grip

I’m skating dunk lows

Graphic was done with a white spray paint base. Water slide decal. Then a lot of clear coat otherwise the decals flakes off easily.

CCS sales stained wood grain blanks? Or did you sand off paint from their blanks?

[TwisT]

On ccs.com the image is an unstained blank, but the description says assorted veneer.

They are listed on Amazon, and you can pick your color.

Nice pick up, that's a steal

[Banned from the room]

Uhhh my godt this is my shit. Straight out the ice box it's the OBVIOUS fire combo

It's a

Fred Gall Habitat like hybrid I think it's called
(Part of a dope ass hook up from the pal. I love you dude)

Venture 5.6 cast with some mixed baseplates.
I got the plates in trade from a skate bud/ top shelf homie.

Rubber plates rn. Think orchard gave um to me when I made a larger order over COVID. They got an H on them.

The bearings are bones ceramic reds I got second hand off a homie in 2016. Super purchase including a wet Willie deck set of wheels 3 bloards. Was like 100 bucks or less for sure.

Bones Rat Bones 2 58x33? in 93a. They ok. The shape is nice af. If they was 101a stf I'd be more stoked. I got no ideal alternative rn. 55mm is my minimum based on the ground around here. I barely skate park so it's fine.

Um Pepper Galactic Grip. It's good. Needs more sparkles I think.

This bloard is so nice I don't think I need to mark the top with art. Maybe a lil thing in the pocket to to help promote switch flips.

That's the current goal get the switch flip to match my regular kickflips. We talking about complete mirror personal training.

Here I go.

Peace love and switch non compliance
