I do.  I never liked trucks over 149 so it just feels more natural to put them on a big stupid bloard when I wanna switch it up from a normal setup.

this is what the the real g’s were doing around where i’m at, over the last 10 ish years of bigger shaped boards.
to be clear: there has definitely been some pool lords that were skating huuuuuuge boards and trucks, and then taking that to the streets, but a fair amount of the folks were just sticking with their 8.5 trucks on whatever board they had, and it seemed to be good for them. made sense over the dedicated setups.

Board looks really good, can't say the same about Lurpivs. I think is the first time a truck looks ugly to me from that pov

Best board I've had all year. Love this PS 8.125 shape.

Got this real 8.28 cheap but hated the graphic so gave the old sand it off a go. Really happy with how it came out.
Size down and shorter and it seems great.Giving thunders a go again. Probably back on ace soon

I’m skating a snack right now too. I love the boxy 8.5 shape with the 14.25 wheel base. It’s got a dip which I don’t usually vibe with but it’s a white dip and I’m liking it.

Also Adrian Williams rules. Dude has been so good for so long. Snack is the best company in my opinion. They do the sickest trips. I feel like they’re always going to either Morocco or Jamaica and the trip always looks sketchy and budget.

Arts and Culture was a good video but they constantly churn out good stuff

[BeachChicken]

Snack is dope and Adrian is one of the most slept on tech skaters of all time. If he didn't ride for Think back in the day right before they folded I feel he would have had a lot more coverage.

He is a local here in Austin now. Still a trip to randomly see him at the park.
