Glass house 8.5
Ace  deedz hollows (plastic blasted the hangers when I got them)
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.
Pepper grip

Yes, I bought the same deck a couple years ago and had a very similar review.

This was supposed to be a fun experiment but it failed miserably.
World (Prime) Jovantae blank, 8.5" over the front trucks and 7.9 over the back, 31.5 length and a whopping 14.875 wb
Venture 5.2 lows with soft bones bushings
Pig 51mm
Acer ceramics
Mix of shorty's and modus 7/8 allens
Jessup

This thing was virtually unskateable. The short length of the deck + big nose + big wheelbase (and ventures that extend it even further) = a nonexistent tail. I was ghost-popping all over the place, even with the low trucks. I haven't ridden Ventures in over 25 years (tho they were my go-to in the late 90s) but coming off Aces for the past 10 years, these things really don't turn until you're pretty much at the wheelbite point. I'm gonna keep the wheels but I'll put the deck and trucks in the classifieds if anyone wants em

Just set up another 8.75 primewood blank. After this tho gonna try something new.
6.1 venture v8s in short mode (need new bushings but can’t find the doh dohs I want)
53mm f4 classic fulls
Rush bomber bearings (not great but I got them for free)
Prime grip
Random hardware
Lrab vm003 canvas highs (best lrab shoe I’ve tried so far, just need to try the vm001 canvas highs)

Also tried making my tag out of stickers (dozer) but couldn’t find a z so improvised with a s

*moose blank from tgm. 8X31.63ish? 14”WB
*indy Ti 139
*bones super reds
*spitfire 52mm 99a F4 classics
*slappy 7/8” Allen hardware

I have to say, this blank isn’t too bad. only skated it for two sessions, but I really like the shape. it’s becoming more and more difficult to find boards with a smaller/medium sized nose, and this one has it.

[Fast_Freddie]

After skating 8.0" twins for the past few years, I decided to finally move up to an 8.25" for a tad more real estate
After looking at shapes and riding the homies boards I finally settled on a Deathwish as the nose/tail difference is subtle

Big popsicles have been looking good lately. I'm still loving my current main setup, but I wanted a new, fun board. I figured I'd get a few sessions on this, then throw the cruiser wheels on it.

Reminds me of my first board which was a red blank. Also I always wanted those Business & Company butterfly boards. Close enough, but I can’t wait to be done with my PS Stix stack.

og shape 8.475 x 31.875 x 14.25

all the dimensions are identical iirc, but the baker has pointier kicks and a mellower concave than the standard blue eagle

Skated plenty of both shapes and this is correct. baker maybe feels wider than the blue eagle in my opinion but its been a while

thats a solid assessment
the b16 doesnt taper at the back like blue eagles
baker mellow concave leads to a wider feeling board

I wish the b16 had more concave. The OG is too flat for my taste for an otherwise really nice shape.

The DLX 8.5 x 14.25, on the other hand, is pretty much perfect.

I had the Blue Eagle last time, it was a II in the press so a little steep for me. I’m on the 8.475 Baker now and it ticks the boxes that the previous did not. It’s mellower, straight rails, a little lighter too. I’m enjoying it so far.
