8.25 colors collective board(it was $15)
145 Lurpiv hollows
54 Spitfire 97 Conical Full

[close]

Saw someone at my local with this company’s board. He said his was $15 too at the fp warehouse/skatepark/shop here in Long Beach. It felt surprisingly steep when I stood on it

Yeah I got it at their warehouse too. Surprised as well how steep it's is plus the tail is kinda small.

Board feels really good after a quick break in session

I love these hand done graphics you've been doing. How long does one usually take you to finish?

[TwisT]

this is the first board i opened from that 5$ ollies blowout at the beginning of the summer and probably the only one I'll actually ride. As I've decided to sale the rest. I swear DSM has the best varnish. That gloss on the black is popping. I actually wanted to sand this board down and just go all black, but I would have ruined the sheen.

ANYWAY

Darkstar 8.125
Thunder Titanium 8.25
Bones STF slim 52mm 99a
Reds

Another thing that I love about this deck is the plys are 5black 2 natural.

Nice and congrats on being in an area where you could take advantage of that deal! What I don’t get is, if you love so much about the decks, why did you decide you want to sell them?

Thanks! I pretty much just pick it up when I’m decompressing from work or taking a break from whatever around the house. An hour here, 20 minutes there, so it’s hard to quantify really. Some days I won’t pick it up and on rainy days or days where I’m too sore to skate but want to think about skating I’ll get way more done. The one I’ll be skating after this one, another Pappalardo, took about a week or two but it was a much simpler graphic.

That's awesome. They all have looked amazing. I think I might try doing one this winter. Something new to keep me busy on the days I can't skate. And I imagine it just feels cool as hell to skate something you worked on.

@Slave IV I got this darkstar deck which is an 8.125 which isn't my normal size, But i really liked how it looked, so I bought one. There were more, but I decided not to buy a stack a decks that aren't my size, just because I like the color.

I got 2 monarch 8.25s that have a whack graphic, which is what I'm selling, and some small boards for my kid (totally wasn't a lie I told my self to buy more shit)

There was nothing cool at my ollies, just bad monarch graphics and almost logo price points. I was just buying shit mostly becuase it was cheap. Luckily I had some self control and didn't buy cases of monarch boards, I don't want to ride. I considered it.

Maybe my favorite sticker job, ever.

That makes sense and yeah, no point in buying a bunch of stuff you don’t really want. I actually got a Monarch deck right before they closed shop for a pretty good deal but not as good as $5! Posted it a while back, currently riding it and I think I prefer the stiff DSM wood and Tensor Maglight ATG are my favorite trucks so I really wish I had the chance to get in on those Ollie’s deals.

[DanRar009]

Been skating a lot of blanks lately and decided to try another mini logo. Not bad at all just really flat. I like flat boards but it’s almost too flat to the point where some tricks don’t feel responsive
8.5 board
149 thunders with 1/8 riser pads and the red 97 bushings
Mob grip
Spitfire tablets that I’m truly sick of riding
Random ass hardware that would fit the trucks with the risers

Yeah! Do it! It feels really cool. The intent was to get some clips on those boards because of the potential flex that a 6’2” mf is skating a 20+ year old vintage AWS 7.4 haha. But really, I want to skate boards with graphics that I want to look down at and to be honest that’s not really too feasible right now. I’d love to skate a Pops deck but they don’t exist. So I made it.

Fun fact: it occurred to me that Panebianco probably did this and we all assumed he was skating NOS Kalis decks. Some of them he made himself, dude confirmed it to me.

Reynolds 933's

It's an HLC deck. It feels like what I assume a girl/chocolate board probably feels like in 2025. Kind of dwindle-ish stiff and snappy, but not super flat. I've been skating the Reynolds for maybe 6 or 7 weeks daily and they're just finally starting to show some wear on them. I'm buying another pair asap

Ace hard bushings I think. ( like a moron when I was putting hangers back on I may have mixed the bushings up. I think I’m okay but sometimes I do wonder if a regular one made its way in.)
Spitfire 99a radial 53mm
Bronson Raws. Not my first second or third choice. I have no complaints but not worth how much they are.

Lmk how you like that LNS deck. I know it's chapman and was wondering how it holds up. Would like to support LNS but I'm too picky about woodshops.
