Damn that looks great how did you get the cosmic effect near the tail? IDK what to call it but the way that the orange, red, and grey blend like a galaxy but don't look like they overlap?

I spray painted it (and a few others) violently high. Pretty stoked it worked out the way it did.

Gotta be the deck. Frog changed my life too.

Of course

I normally hate 14.5 wb but since the T2 are so tucked in it feels really really good. I have alll the benefit of long wb seemingly like control but with the bonus of I am not ghost popping now. My flip tricks have never been this good on a brand new truck and griptape that I’m not used to. I’m not even used to my shoes I had to switch this morning cause my cat puked on my last resorts. Been struggling with half cab flip; first try so good. I am ass at bs flip and got it first try.

I am really liking the trucks so far. When you push top speed it seems like you aren’t even on a loose truck. I totally forgot I was even on these on the way to the store.

The pop feels so good because of the light weight maybe combined with the position of the truck (I think). Board is shorter than 32” so nothing feels bulky at all


These wheels are 97a f4 new formula and my favorite wheel of all time by far, seemingly perfect in all environments and massive speed. I really should put my bones Swiss in here because this setup deserves it. I’d prefer a classic shape though.

Nice! I seem to remember trying to put ace bushings in my Normal Indy's and they didn't really fit?

True. They don't. Kept it short for the Setup post.
Long answer is: Top bushing is from the ace low hard bushings set and bottom bushing is from the ace std hard bushings set.
The top bushing from the std set is way to high for indys and the bottom bushing from the low set is way to low.

Maybe I need to compile a bushings measurement list and post it in a apropriate threat. My gear madness has to be good for something and gave me an extensive bushings collection.

Hopps 8.5 & matching Thunders
The stencil is shamelessly ripped from a Sci-Fi deck (if you don't have money but cans)

[logjammin]

am I tripping or is the front truck on those hollow light thunders equipped with a solid kingpin?

Sure looks like it on first glance. But I think there might just be dirt in it.

We have somewhat of a list going! But it only applies to the stock bushings, not the aftermarket

In the spreadsheet I have linked in my sig I have most of them but you have to click each brand tab individually to see them all. I don’t think I have the ace lows listed either but mbrimson88 list should have it listed

I was worried about the long wb + big wheels + thunder combo but had a great session with it. Gotta work harder for tricks but pop feels great and enjoying the stability when going fast. Cast thunder and big wheels make for a good pinch

After careful inspection ...  Dirt confirmed.  I'm quite sure that heavy additional frontload explains my subpar skills.

I will still go with kush stash for the lore.
I decided a long time ago that given a choice I just go with whatever is funnier.
