The 5 pack makes ‘em pretty dang cheap here in the states, so I by multiples like that.
The thought of committing to one shape for 10 decks is still a little daunting to me though, so I passed on the additional savings that might have been unlocked by doubling down on my order.

TumYeto stopped using Watson for their popsicles over ten years ago. In the US most of their boards are PS now.

I have a Foundation right now and it is Generator. I think the logo stuff is PS though. It’s nowhere near flat either, great concave.

[close]

I had a USA toy machine earlier this year. I feel like it was SC but it could have been someone else. I was under the impression that Watson was done

Board I was talking about in the thread above. Finally got it set up…
Thought I would throw it up here for any Foundation curious slapsters. Definitely Generator steep mold.confirmed by hologram sticker on top.

Wasn't supposed Foundation and Toy machine come from the same factory?
Days ago I setup a Foundation and it was the absolute worst board ever. Today I setup this one (Both Chinese) and it feels great. Sure thing wood will get soggy soon but so far it feels great.

Had to change trucks since they felt like crap. Color matching was an unexpected bonus. Not a fan of the black hanger buy I'm a sucker for BA so...

Baker mellow mold 8 w/black magic grip.
Venture lows with a v8 baseplate on front, brought in and a standard cast on the back.
Powell dragons 93 52mm with swiss 6. Wheel doesn't slide as good as spit 93 f4s on a smooth ledge. Funny enough i did a front blunt slide on a chunky ass parking block ledge with out waxing the top and on the smooth ledge they stuck. Referring to cucktards post on these formulas it makes sense https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=68020.6990.

I also gripped over the bolts make it harder to change trucks since I've been switching them a lot on lately and i added locktide to the wheel nuts for the same reason. Been switching wheels too much. I also think my axle might be bent but fuck it. The front truck is pretty close to hitting axle on the crooked grind groove anyways.

Hell yeah brotha!

Edit: i gave in and switched the baseplate on the front truck to a standard cast, mellower noses and tails don't need v8 baseplates. The pop felt to light on the nose. Also switched to new low venture hangers with 57mm 99a f4 lock in full wheels from the dragons 52s. The board rides straight now. The hanger was hella bent on one truck before.

Sick! Makes me want to set up mine but not really the board for the indoor park so I'll wait some months still. Planning to set mine up with 169s.

Only got three sessions on that Snack 8.1 ^

First victim of winter. Had been out for 3 hours in ~36°F. Cracked the tail above the bolts.

Out of seven PS boards, only cracked that one and one other that was more of a delam.

They could be a little bit wider but its nothing I can notice. I don't really see my wheels stick out the sides when standing on it.
