They look better than Tablets, which is a shape designed by a child in 1998 using MS Paint.

The ishod lock ins look like the tip of a crudely drawn penis in MS paint

[close]

Was honestly thinking the exact same thing.

[close]

I slightly disagree: it looks like the tip of a crudely drawn penis that I still draw on the walls of gas stations and truck stops.

[close]

So is that to say, these wheels fuck??

well, didnt love skating ‘em today, felt a bit unbalanced.  enjoy skating classics and enjoy skating conicals, bit dunno if i needed ‘em to be combined. 

ill mail them to anyone (in lower 48 USA) that wants to pay postage.  PM

Set up a new deck and wheels today. I'm excited to try this DLX true fit shape since it's pretty different from the Marbie shape I usually skate.

The new Spitfire “Classiconical” wheel.

[Slave IV]

Just for my own information, isn’t the Ishod wheel more classic one side and tablet on the other?

[art hellman]

yes.  but i dont acknowledge tablets as a shape.  it’s a personality flaw, i know.  for me, the flat side just caused a lot of drag/grab. 

ill drag myself down, dont need the help

[MOE SYZLAK]

Just set up this Senn 91 Powell reissue.
Had to redrill the hole pattern to fit the thunders but it worked out and I got to lengthen the WB a little.
Paired with the gonz slips, should be a fun summer set up.

That's a sick setup! How's the wood on these Powell reissues? I've heard they do the "McWarp" if left to the conditions but nothing about the ride.

Worst board shape I ever skated.  Front truck is 8-5/8” back truck is almost 8-1/8”.  Kicks are very uneven.  Short wheelbase which I don’t really like.

Only positive for me is I like the way DSM boards sound so that’s cool I guess.  Skates like shit for me otherwise.  “Thank you” to Daewon for selling these boards for $20 or whatever when dwindle went under so I don’t feel bad leaving it at the park later.  Just bummed I wasted grip tbh.
