Not big on the sticker policing. Put whatever you want (I choose no stickers these days). Plus, the trucks and wheels are DLX.

the only thing I'd change was put the DLX sticker just a little further over to the right

Hook ups 7.5 with pepper grip (there was a black magic drought for a bit) not a big fan of the graphic but the shape of the board is nice.
Venture 5.2 low
Spitfire f4 classic 50s with swiss 6 bearings.

Pretty fun board.

All the ingredients to make the best heelflip tricks shown here imo. The 5.2s on a 7.5 always worked better than it sounds aloud or looks. The shellies paired with this setup is perfection too.

The fat laces…so good.

This one makes me want to put the lows back on. I’m worse on them and have less fun in the park but damn do they look just right.

Don’t know about Opera boards, but the deck dims and the rest of the setup are looking good. 👨‍🍳💋

i think it's a cool graphic, especially for hook-ups standards, it's way better than a naked chun-li or some shit. looks fun as hell, i need to build a board like this too

oh most definitely better than naked girls, my favorite hook ups graphics were the girl dressed normally with the gun and the eyes deck. Also the random fighting game ones, rival schools and whatnot.

Edit: bought a couple more, once i got in the groove it got fun again.

bought it a year ago, but i live in europe where some shops still have some 917 decks around.

glad to see I’m not the only one clinging on to NFG loopholes …

Such a great little brand and the wheels are fantastic. I’ve been running Loopholes ever since they started. It would feel weird not having them at this point.

Only an inch or so on either side of the axle is hollow. not the whole hanger. the middle section is not hollow. Ace do it on their IKP trucks. i suppose it is meant to be a compromise of strength and weight.

I want to skate this shape. I skated the WKND 8.875 egg-y board and loved it. The Opera 8.9 seems very similar

[GoneWithTheSchwinn]

Fixer has some pretty sweet looking egg shapes.

No, different brands.

[Made In China]

Realized I've been skating my current deck for almost 6 months now so treated myself to a new one. I kept the grip more toned down this time because I used a super creased up sheet that I had stored badly. The photos are a lil weird since my phone camera is broken and won't focus unless its on .5 mode but whatever
