Did anyone screenshot that setup that almost closed down this thread from a few years ago? i can’t possibly describe it (there literally are no words) but someone is sure to remember it. It has been heavy on my heart lately and I need to see it again. Thanks in advance

I’m so sorry to post this immediately after smellsdead’s immaculate setup but…

Love an all white board as I’ve had a few then I was on an all black kick for a while. I love the small head on the wheels. I was changing me wheels recently and I just couldn’t put the big head wheels on.

Currently skating:
CCS 8.0 from early January. Been great but getting long in the tooth.
Indy 139
Old spitfires worn down to about 48 now
Bones Swiss Super 6



Next in line:
Habitat Twin Peaks 8.125 (PS Stix)
Thunder 147 with 1/8" Thunder risers.... I'm an indy guy deep down.
Some old Element 53mm.... Need to order new wheels.
Bones Swiss
Silverados 1"

[kitcatski]

Krooked worrest 8.25 (8.38 :p)
Venture 5.6 v-hollows with ace low hard bushings
54mm f4 classics (prob like 52 now)
Swiss 6
Pepper Galaxy Grip
Ace hollow hardware

This deck has a secondary graphic pressed into the board, pretty cool. 2 sessions in and this truck / bushing combo is the best I've ever had, no freezing in 30 degree weather and feel awesome. These ace bushings are magic

I don't see 7.81 eagles too often.. skated a couple and liked the shape a lot. I seem to remember them being really short (31.3"), but AH lists it as having a 31.75" length: https://www.antiheroskateboards.com/

Anyone know if they changed the length or is it a typo?

I have skated it with 5.0 lo’s and it’s definitely way better with 8” trucks. I wish I had some 5.25 los for it but I can’t justify buying trucks right now with the Thunders being so new.

Yeah, I'm not stranger to lower back pain sadly. So far X99 seems to help with knee and back pain

I really like this set up, I think the Thunders look perfect visually with that deck. The picture was taken well too with the light and shadows- great work!
