Ethan Anderson-Less Than Local 8.38
Tom Knox’s

Pretty dope to see someone repping LTL on here. I have the Ethan Anderson window deck in 8.38 that I'm setting up next.

9.0 loveseat w/Pepper grip
Indy stage 4 151's w/Ace bushings
1/4" Indy risers
Worn down 56mm Radial Full 97a's
Reds bearings

How do you like Stage 4s with Ace bushings?

I’m buddies with Ethan IRL. When I was given the board I picked his. I probably just gave my secret identity away to everyone I know that checks Slap in northeast LA that hasn’t pieced together who I am yet

damn these shoes look ugly as hell in this photo

They’re white leather New Balances with a grey “N” on the side. They give off big mowing the lawn in a bad fitting polo shirt energy

They are literally required to activate stage 4's. I have no idea how anyone likes the stock bushings that come in them. They're way too hard and have no life in them and no rebound. Stage 11's actually come with fine stock bushings these days, but for some reason they put cement bushings in stage 4's which are supposed to be their turnier option. Makes no sense.

Snack 8 ps stix With Black Magic grip.
Venture 5.0 low. My favorite trucks ever.
Spitfire classic 51mm awhile ago probably 49mm now with Swiss 6 bearings.
Shortys lights hardware.

I love/hate skating ps stix boards.  I get that best board ever feeling for a week tops, then turns to a piece of shit. The trucks and board don't magic carpet much. Great for flipping. Wish they made f4s in big head shape.

Skating dunks right now. Since i bought 3 pairs of the white gum iso cw.

PS boards are the best if you break them before that week. Day 8 comes by and it turns into a turd with griptape.

Venture 5.8s Purps are sick. My 6.1s are way looser. Im going to swap plates as i think those king pins are longer or the bushings might be shorter. Feeling sick tho. Im so lucky its that easy to pacify my ass. all i need is a blunt a water and my board and a guitar. i havent played in how ever long its been since i blew out my fingers.

The best wheel formula ever designed. 97a f4s in 58mm
Bones white ceramics

These shapes are sick. i went for a quick ride to the store. Hit the curb a few times. Did a wall ride sooooo easy with the pointy ends. I do prefer the grasshoper so far tho. That shape is my shit for 1000

I tried with both Af1 bushings but it just didn't feel right. I have no issues with the stock ones.

Felt the same way when I first got the Stage 4s. But the stock ones break in nicely and really start to enhance the turn.

Retired the current board after the best session I’ve had in recent memory. Gonna donate it to a buddy who makes stationary boards for pre schoolers.



Resin 7 8.5
159s with bones and riptides.
Radial F4s, was gonna bite on the 93s but after seeing mixed things I held back.


Anxiously skating a new pair of Slip Cups as I try and snag pairs off Amazon/Ebay.

It feels pretty normal. I did switch out the front truck. While skating ledges, it seemed like the front truck would rub while the back didn’t.

I've been eyeing that deck too. I don't wanna annoy you bit I am curious about the exact measurements. What is the nose and tail length like? And what's the wheelbase and overall length?

Just measured it.  The specs from Tactics look accurate.  The one I have is a III on the deluxe scale so it’s very mellow side to side in terms of concave.
