8" 14.25wb palace with black magic griptape. Board has really good pop. Extremely good. I think i benefit from this wb a lot.
Venture low cast 5.2. Riptide cups. The cups are like 4 years old and still going.
Spitfire 50mm with swiss 6.


Dunks, these white/gums are my favorite shoes in a while. So good.

Wait, black magic grip is still around? Damn I gotta call my homie, he still speaks highly of that grip. He would be so stoked if I gift him that for the first after christmas session in the ikea parking garage.

I bought a roll its enough for 20 boards. Next time i might just buy the 20 sheet box. My favorite grip.

went to war over them laces

Nope, they did,  I just left the bait. They can't resist, my trolling is lame, jokes too but they keep on keeping on. Let them, they're clearly getting off on it and they're entertained. It's always the same ones too (they're all ignored, or are right away) alt accounts ignored (their cadence and tone is terribly obvious), so I don't actually see what they're saying, it's their wasted energy).

dog them laces are cutting off circulation to your brain

[BeachChicken]

Those tactics are eerily similar to those used by my first girlfriends back in like 2001 when they would tell me that my outfit didn't match and then block me on AIM before I could respond.

How are the aces on this board?

I’m wondering if I need yet another pair of trucks to fit this deck and been thinking about either ace af1 55 or ace classic 44. The classic 44s a good size? Wondering how much magic carpet there is, if any.

i like the 44's on this one. The width of the nose and tail are dramatically different i think the 44's split the difference well.
No overhang on either. Be aware the WB on this thing is pretty short which is something I didn't consider. Its a really fun board and the aces make it very zippy but its kinda hard for me to get off the ground.

After skating huge Heroins and Indy 215's all summer I got the itch to set up one of these 9.38" Prime blanks again and put some Ace 60 hangers on my Stage 8 inverted baseplates. This setup truly feels like home and I had the most amazing session yesterday.

Jessup regs, 97a spit classics, reds bearings bone dry, trucks sitting on 1/4" Indy risers.

Anyone else see that the Heritage blanks on the Primewood site are $90?

I'm starting to think that maybe I should be on a smaller board because everything magically gets easier when I skater a shorter board with a smaller WB

Your recent set up posts have me thinking about sizing down my deck.

What's your height and weight? I often get curious about the same, but when I tried lows on an 8" 14.25 BBS generic it felt super snappy but the overall pop was terrible with 51s

Baker logo decks are evergreen. Like the AH Classic Eagle. It’s always gonna look solid. Nice setup!

Street/ledge set up.

Krooked 8.25x31.5 13.875 true fit
Indy 144, riptide 93 top, 93 back and 90 front
54 radial 93 soft sliders
Reds I found nib from around 05
Hardware? Whatever I skated 20 years ago

Wife decided she wanted to learn how to skate in July, so I pulled my board off the wall. After a few sessions I knew it just made skating less fun.
 8” lib tech from 2012, flexy and soggy. Stage 9 Indy 13x with sliding axles.
53ish bones stf from when they first dropped, nice and coned, rolled like crap at the rougher local.

New stuff is nice. Do wish I had of given Indy stock bushings a chance before spending money, didn’t realize that they no longer suck.

Transition tank

Black label tugboat. 9.5x32.125 14.5wb

Never had the luxury of a second set up for bigger transition. This is nicer than skating the west Seattle bowl on a aws kalis 7.625 and 50s bitd

Never gripping a board with a multitool knife again, that was terrible

Haha that’s how I was rolling for a while pre-recovery, once I sufficiently dust off the cobwebs I’ll go back but I need a bit of weight reduction for the time being. Speaking of which…
