First time skating lighter Indys after a lifetime on Standards - inspired by Reynolds recommending them because of their weight and slightly lower profile.

Are these the newer hlc boards? How steep are the nose and tail? Been wanting to buy some Heated Wheel and Rogers.

[moonordie]

What's HLC? I know they're BBS. Just set it up and it's not a steep board, which is what I was hoping for. I love the polarizer so going full Heated Wheel right now.

Check the woodshop thread

Really digging the magic carpet on this

looks nice
what size wheels?

147s spark much madness for me: love them, but i am not good and need to skate tiny wheels otherwise its a wheelbite horror show

[gaunting]

Old one I've held onto until now.

that’s such a sick graphic.. I forgot about politic. hopefully they’re still around.

[BeachChicken]

I see. Heated Wheel still say they're all BBS. Thinking of them as a sister company to Baker now.

HLC is a woodshop that makes boards for Roger, Sour, Sk8Mafia, etc.

Baker has their own shapes made by BBS. They distribute Sour in the US, but that doesn't mean Sour American decks are BBS Baker shapes.

I’m so tempted to get one of these. I’ve been sitting on a set of 215’s that I trash picked a few years ago.

I am w/ you, re: easy rider concave.
In fact, I'm hoping for an expansion of its application to more shapes & dims.

i really like the colors in this pic, particularly the deck and spitfire head.

upon returning to skating, my first board was a ben liversedge real slick. a darker blue, but similar ish vibe. Liversedge was not super present as I was coming back around, in the videos and mags, but he had a 411 bit, and he skated well. wonder why he dipped?

I think it's safe to say it's here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. afaik every DLX drop since its inception has had multiple easy riders, and the numbers seem to be increasing. I have a 8.25 Ishod easy rider twin already set up waiting to be skated, I really wanna know what all the fuss is about. Time for this winter to end already.

Yeah I think DLX really pays attention to what the consumers like. Hell they even have a thread on here discussing shapes and sizes!

[BeachChicken]

We need a Manderson shape Easy Rider. If I had that with some 5.8's and my go-to Radials I could consistently ride all DLX and be happy with it.

[nosneb]

We need easy riders for 7.5, 7.75 with 14in wb @Dlx 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Read a Marie Kondo book recently and thus want to get rid of most of my skate shit I don’t use, but I’m procrastinating so in the meantime I dug some old used shit up and made this setup.

Ah 9” eagle
Indy 169 not hollow
Reds
Spit big beatdowns 66.6mm
An OJ 3/8 riser and a lucky 1/8 riser
Some long ass hardware of unknown origin
Probably jessup but who knows really
Also i’ve been digging vm001s recently, and I got these 3sixteen relaxed straight jeans from self edge and they feel really good skating
