Nobody needs to see a Darkstar board.

[moonordie]

what do you think was the first trick the owner of this board tried on it

i'm thinking fakie bigspin, no pop

I'm going for an ass sweat stain on the griptape for sitting for too long on the board blocking everybody's access to the skatepark best ledge.

As another 33 year old, this bloke calling a darkstar board nostalgic is cooked.

Shout out Paul Machnau though.

I’m 28. I was the last kid in class to pick up skating and the cooler guys had Darkstar and my closest friend flexed his armor light. My back hurts.

Both very good guesses. I personally think the dude is giving off strong casper flip or primo stall vibes.

Damn with the darkstar wheels??!?!? Y’all remember when those first hit the market?  they cut the bearing seat to look like the darkstar helm rather than just a circle, my back hurts as well

[Texas_Tone]

What we have here is a skate warehouse blank 8.25
- The new royals with ace hard bushings in there

That’s cool. I think I’m going to order a few 8.25’s. I want to commit to a set up for the foreseeable future. SW confirmed there are HLC and the dims match the decks on the Roger site. All good to me.

It’s pretty full, there’s a slight taper to it but I like it, gonna skate this one into the ground and see if I’m gonna go back to skate samples or stay with these blanks

Yea I was gonna cave and get a 5 pack from skate samples, but I saw the natty top and had to get my Ross Norman on, yea same woodshop as Roger, have been wanting to try out HLC since they set up a sister woodshop here in Texas, haven’t done much but rode around and popped a couple Ollie’s because of ACL surgery but so far so good

Yeah, last pair I had saved up. Gonna try and skate them before the midsole starts to crumble/separate from the outsole.
