A polar deck, because they lied about the - or shipped with an incorrect - wheelbase =(advertised as 14.1" - actual WB 14.3")

lakai fremonts. they look nice enough, but the slippery heelpiece on the sole is garbage. all the non-boardfeel of a moonboot cupsole with none of the upsides

I could never make them work with anything I wore. They got plenty of grip but they just feel weird on my feet and they hurt just as much as a vulc after a sesh. Plus that fucking big ass outsole tread kept getting rocks stuck in it.

Wanted to skate a 7.875 or 7.75.
Went to a shop that I’ve been wanting to go and all they had was a Thank You. It sounds all crappy and feel like those cheap completes you get.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

If you end up ordering online, check out polar, evisen, 5boro, doa, toy machine, sour, they all have nice 7.875, 7.75s and even some 7.5s and 7.625s from doa and toy.

cool but i wouldnt suggest kissing it
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Probably Rowan's shoe. The bottom of my front foot always hurt when I skate them, not bad but not comfortable for sure. Also there is so much rubber that I had to adjust my flick. I do not like that.

I’ll look into them. Won’t be surprised if the board doesn’t last and I’m okay with that.

Damn didn’t you just get em to try? And one session you’re like “nah”? Bummer, guess stick with what you know. I always get burned trying out new shit. It’s fun but rarely pans out, and I just go back to the same shit.

Worst shoe I've skated probably in my whole life

Good thing I sold them when they finally landed in my neck of the woods.

I picked up a Craigslist board for $35 because I wanted to try a PS Stix board.
Problem was the deck was a Plan B.
And it was a Leticia MVP deck.
And it had clear griptape on it which I will need to remove.



I think this is the lowest my standard have dropped just to try a new woodshop. It came with Indys, wheels and bearings which I can scavenge for some money. But goddamn this graphic is terrible. Going to need some large ass Darkstar stickers or break out the spray can.

Just run with it. If anyone says anything, just act like it’s the sickest graphic ever, and that they should go get one too, before she’s on zero and you cannot find another beauty like that one anymore.

Just realized they did her boobs justice in the graphic, nice attention to detail.

Etnies Marana Mids, wore them for a day then realised that they really are too wide in the ankle and forefoot for me.

It seems my dream of a cupsole mid that suits my feet will never be realised, I should just stick to the DCs I know fit me...lesson learnt there.

If anyone in the UK wants a basically new pair in UK10.5, HMU...can't return them now!

Bought a Creature deck at my shitty local named Skate Shack but they also sell bikes and it’s where they mostly profit. Where I live there’s only one local and all their skate products are NHS.

Anyways, bought a Creature 8.2 x 31.9 deck from them and the concave is too steep and the wheelbase is too long for my Thunder 149s. The setup feels so weird and I can’t even land most of my tricks right. One of the worst setups I’ve ridden so far. Even paid $96 for it since there is literally no other way to buy a deck here in Qatar besides online.

I fucking regret buying anything NHS related too. Fuck dem racists

That is worrying for me to hear. I'm setting up a Santa Cruz P2 (lightly used) next and I'm thinking of what trucks to pair them with. Part of me says stick with Venture 5.6 V-Hollow with a cast baesplate, the other part says ride them with Thunder Titaniums but I'm not sure about the lack of baseplate action.
