I fucking knew it...
Same stuff but on a 8.375 x 32 x 14.5 that probably I won't like.

Parliament skate shop in Brisbane Australia...

That's my neck of the woods!


Sorry, got a little trippy if you were here, but I am guessing you just got something from them, or someone sent you stickers?

One of my homies back from Chile lives in Brisbane and visited me some weeks ago here in Prague. He brought me some stickers and a really cool hat from Parliament (also some sick ass chocolate cookies that I can't remember the name but I think it started with "T")
[close]

Tim tam maybe?

Could eat a whole pack sometimes.

Nice board shape too - same as the common 8.38 DLX and others, like Baker, DGK, etc.  Long wheelbase though, but it works well for some people.
Yessss, heaven in form of a cookie.
Worked horribly for me that long wheelbase.
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

[close]

hey man, yeah it's long. 14.5 wheelbase. after a couple sessions...meh. idk why I think I can live with it, anything over 14.1" wb just isn't to my liking.

@logjammin are you gonna throw it in the classifieds here?
[close]

nah, sorry brotha. my local actually benefits from flipping slightly used gear to people that can't afford to buy new stuff. so I'll trade it in for a lil store cred. win win.
That’s beautiful.

Dude I wanna hear how the 5.8 Vents pair with the DLX "8.5". Been interested in the combo for a while now. I presume the Ventures are cast?

They are forged actually. It's been working well for me, been on the same shape for over a year now (if you include the squarer manderson too). I prefer a longer wheelbase so the Ventures opened up the 14.25's for me overall. Plus the truck width on the slimmer 8.5 feels good too.

GX 8.62 (very square and very orange)
Ace 60
Bones X99 56
Reds
440V2s

Smallest board I’ve ridden in a minute but really enjoying being back on a longer wheelbase (14.75) - these oafish legs need some extra wiggle room on landings.

i haven't skated that shape in a year or so since i got into 8.25s more but i used to go with this combo often and it works great. the kicks are just long enough to pop well and stand on slides but also short enough to do scoopy tricks easily, especially since the tail is pretty round. i could go back without a problem.

Homie hooked up a new deck in trade for a copy of the album.
It’s pretty dope.
I did discover I don’t like my rear V8 pushed in. Just the front truck. I need that Venture pop not to be lethargic yo.

Finna take these dragons off again.
Album link. I saw another pals account   Photos too big. Apologies. I know some of yall hate me for it
