Last purchase you were happy with?

[Charlie Hustle]

Let’s not focus on the negative! In contrast to the “last purchase you regretted” thread, what was the last purchase you were happy with?

After almost 30 years of being cheap I finally got a set of Swiss. Very hyped. They feel almost too fast.

Alien workshop’s 8.5” shape is my new go to I think.

I also got a Yeti coffee mug, which I’m probably THE MOST excited about.

F4 conical fulls 99a. I regret being strictly bones for the past few years. F4s are hands down the best formula out. The conical fulls are my new favorite shape.

Edit: I recently purchased a set of swiss and agree 100 percent. On the other hand my stylish speed checks are looking better.

NB 420s. Totally not a shoe I'd normally wear. I have not and doubt I will skate in them but they have been so nice to my feet at work.

High-threat count sheets for my bed. Fucking amazing.

Probably the tablets in skating right now. They were a plan b but sure they work great for me.

[Esmith5488]

Honestly the NB# 306. Totally surprised how much I have enjoyed skating them

Got this theories deck. I was having trouble 360 flipping my quasi with a 14.325 wheelbase. I think this is 14.25 which works much better for me.

I own a prius that is impossible to replace the built in stereo deck. The six disc system plays mp3, but because the car is so old, the stereo was starting to act up.

That's when I found out the chinese figured this thing out.

I bought this and use a low profile 32GB thumb drive and it plays all the files on there without having to have a separate ipod/mp3 player hooked to aux cable. There isn't a display to see what is playing or what is next, but it does the job of transmitting to fm well most of the time. It remembers the last file playing, but restarts it when you turn off the car so sometimes I let the song finish before I hop out.

Right?! I feel AWS is seriously slept on. I’ve had a couple 8.5s and currently on an 8.25 and they have all been great.

Skate Wise:
Twin Tails or symmetrical boards in general. Helped rid me some of my skate OCD.

Ultra Grip. Ever since I got back was looking for something readily available in person that felt like Black Magic, and for me this is it.

Non Skate Wise:
Actual good beard care product shit. Picked up really good beard conditioner, beard butter, and some high quality combs. Beard has never felt and looked better.

[Krooked antihero]

Ace 44’s. Got my pop back after struggling with stage XI’s for too many sets, those things are just too tall for me.

[Paco Supreme]

I got a rear mount bottle cage the other day and I’m hyped, now I don’t have to die from thirst in the end of summer heat / humidity

Riptide "cracked ice" 96a pivot cups, for my blown out old Thunder Titanium 149's that I refuse to give up on. Just hit axel a tiny bit on the back truck, hopefully with these new pivot cups I'll be able to hit full axel in the back and maybe up front in my crook groove before needing new trucks.

Seriously though, yes they are expensive, but these Riptide pivot cups are worth their weight in gold.

Just gripped an 8.38 today, it’s my first AWS deck. I was worried the tail would be too pointy but nope,  shape looks and feels great. The nose seems pretty fantastic for switch shit. Very excited. I’ve been riding Isle 8.38 for a long time and they’re pretty flat. Feels good to be back on a lil more concave. I’m wearing new balance 440 and instantly feel more connected to my board.

Irrelevant sidenote, but i’ve had a crazy relationship with Isle decks. It’s like my overall consistency is lower than normal, but i’ve been able to do the hardest tricks i’ve ever done on them. Anyone been here before?

Beer City board. I'll have to get a second one to really be sure but it's been my favorite board in a while. Bones stf the harder ones. Was on f4s but I think these feel better. Zealous bearings. Tensor mag light atgs. Basically my whole setup right now feels right. I definitely am not in better shape as I continue to get older, lose energy and gain weight, but the equipment I have has been great.

[rocklobster]

Bones 52mm V1 83b
Could be a little softer but they are a solid general use wheel. Tired an Arrow 52mm Conical in 83b and the hardness was really unforgiving on slides.

Silver Skate Tool
I snapped the axle but wrench joints but it still works great especially for Ventures and the troublesome hanger / baseplate positioning.

Nike Check Solarsoft
Wasn't expecting much for this price point shoe but I'm pleasantly surprised with the durability. It doesn't cup the foot fully but it's held up to kickflips respectably.
