917 8,25"
pepper xg
indy titanium 144
spitfire conical fulls 56
indy hardware

Rad setup and hope you made a template of the little surfboard graphic so when it’s dead you can cut it to that shape for a tiny cruiser(if that’s your thing).

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





8.5 There Marbie shape
5.8 Ventures
Spitfire F4 conical fulls that started off at 53mm
Bones Swiss

Another rad setup and love the grip.

Quasi 8.5 BBS
55mm Bones X99
Reds
Slappy ST1 Inverted Ultra Low KP
Bones hardware

X-formulas felt too grippy on the mini so switched back to 101 spits.
Will save them for the streets once the snows melted.

8.25 Real Easy Rider 1 stamp (32.07 x 14)
5.6 V-lights that are a combo of the Piombo v-hollow baseplate and a cast hangar + a flat top washer obviously
54mm X97 v1. Usually ride F4 but these are a nice change of pace. Only gripe is doing a lil manual slide on rock and rolls down the transition but I've gotten used to it.
Swiss
Pepper
Girl 1" Allen
Vans Curren

Set this up on Sunday for spring! I like the subtle glitter in the graphic and the hints of orange help tie in the baseplate color. Comfy shape but there's no secret sauce here that makes me skate any better or worse, which I guess was to be expected. Knowing that I'm not skilled enough for small changes in dimensions to matter is a bit of a silver lining. The flips still (sometimes) flip, the shuvs still shuv, and the grinds still grind. Varial heels feel good on it and today I board slid up a small rail 3 times in a row which is something I've never done before. Had pretty decent consistency on back 5050s on the flat bar, too. These hangars are starting to get a little bit of axle slip so I may swap on the hollow 5.6 hangars that came with the baseplates. Was hoping to axle them but I don't skate crusty ledges or curbs often enough to outpace the other wear and tear replacement criteria. The ends of the axles get ground down to the nuts well before I even get close to it. Maybe next time. Good board though.

Been awhile since I had all new everything and these skate warehouse blanks are really nice. Big difference between these premium ones and the older ones. My daughter wanted to sticker this one up for me this time and added a few home made ones as well
