never really noticed that before, but now you mention it! I really like how they skate though.

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

Thanks - got out for a few hours yesterday and really enjoyed it.  I haven’t done bigger boards in a couple years but I’m having fun on them now.  Just gotta break in the bushings…

Venture V-Hollow 5.6 (re-drill’d V8 settings) & bones meds
Old rusty Swiss bearings (with 2 or 3 reds mixed in)
Spit F4 *non-full* Conical 53mm 99a (most underrated spitfire wheel & my fav)
Bronze Allen hardware
Adidas Pro-Shell @fourwheels colorway

I manage several curbs independently and even after a couple years I haven’t gotten them to this level of broken in. When the edge looks like coping you know the local scene is healthy.

anti hero 8.38
indy cast hollow 159
spitfire 93a radials
bones big balls
Jessup grip

Bought this deck to support my local skate shop for Christmas and I'm quite excited to skate this shape again, I think I may need to drop down to 149's tho bc its has a bit too much hot rod for my taste, also may just finally pull the trigger on the t2s
