Learning not to get too attached to one gear in particular was a great life lesson haha

edit : but ankle braces are great, no useless pain anymore

Deluxe making 8.12x31.38 decks with a 14” wheelbase. Been eyeing this Chocolate shape for a few years but once I saw a Krooked I picked it up and it’s the perfect shape for me.

Where does such a unicorn even exist?

Deluxe shape and wood with average man proportions?

I just pop and flip the board better when it’s got a normal wheelbase and length

I’m not 6+ feet tall and want my legs spread like a cowboy to ride my board now

I’m thankful for this hockey deck I found, re learned tre flips and it feels good

What are the dimensions on the Hockey you’re skating? I liked the DLX 8.12 x 31.38 but felt the kicks were a little too short when skated with Thunders. Trying a crail g052 next- 8.25 x 31.875 14”wb.

Always thankful for a good shape with a short wheelbase which is why I’ll probably support crail well past their heyday

Quasi 8.75 shape! Every now and then I stray away from it but it feels so damn good when I get back on one. Hopefully they never get rid of that thing

Trucks. Always trucks.

151s and 44s.

Very respectable. Just curious you skate a symmetrical board or are you just doing a shit load of switch/regular tricks?

Its a faux pas in some circles, including mine but I do rotate my trucks to prolong their life. They are equally tight/loose so it works well enough.

Dynavap, Stfs, Ace or indy, single fin surfboards,wetsuits, my bmx bike.
If you're going wider you may want to go with smaller wheels then what you're on now. As a truck gets wider, wheel bite increases and so does swingweight. 52 mm is good for park anyway if thats your thing. A wide board with big wheels and risers is just a big piece of shit imo -better off with a bike.

wide board+big wheels+risers=a good time imo

you should really try it and not be too serious. its fun

Is the one backed by Ronnie Creager any good? Ive read that prolonged use actually weakens the area making you more prone to ankle injuries when you stop wearing them

F4s and Bones Hardcore Bushings. They make everything better.

Especially 99a Radial Slims in 52 or 53mm and Bones Hardcore Mediums.

Ace 44s, 99a Conical Fulls.

Not gear - but discovering wheelbases this year changed everything. Or made everything more tedious, either or.

Don't know for the Creager ones, got mine by cutting them off some soccer shin guards, it's like having a bulletproof vest on the ankles, feels good

Ah geez the WB rabbit hole. I've got 3 sets of trucks and I'm planning on getting another 2. Gear madness is real.

But definitely finding out about WB and larger decks has made coming back to skateboarding after a couple of years out so much fun.

So true that it hurts. Recently I put a second together just because of it and now that I got some answers is there gathering dust.
