Viagra for my lower back

F4 in a V3 shape (hell I'd settle for the classic slims).

I'd gladly ride those in 54mm.

[Blitzkraigbop]

#4!! Agreed!

Unbreakable laces

i used to be able to do heelflips then i started breaking laces so i stopped doing them and now i try 2 heelflips miss both and rip my lace its super lame

[goodatmeth]

1 or 2mm riser pads. 1/8 inch is just too much.
(probably exists but no shops have them)

Khiro also makes a bunch of sizes that are less than 1/8, but more suited for longboards. Keep in mind, these are shock pads so I’m not sure if they’ll make your board feel dead or make it have less pop

[fakie nollie]

-Blanks available from all brands. Sometimes I love a boards shape but don’t want to see a strangers face at the bottom of my board.
-(+1) on Ace sizes that make more sense for 8.5 riders
-Some kind of 3rd party material that you can easily overlay on your laces to stop ripping them
-On ^^ tip: shoes constructed with lace protection need to come back in more than ugly shoes
-Ramp leases/rentals

[IpathCats]

Trucks that grind like Indys, turn like ace, and somehow have the stability and pop of ventures.

Available dunks in regular colors, maybe an accel somewhere between the slim and OG (closer to OG) with a mid/high top variant.

There should be something to get the crud of your wheels when skating dusty indoor parks

There was an a brand tried this. I want to say they were Kevlar. They were like 25$ a pair.

Waffle Cup Half Cabs

those did exist at one point as the "Half Cab lite"

it had the original wafflecup (that was better in my opinion)... like 2013.

edit: here's some info about it, http://allthingsskateboarding.blogspot.com/2012/10/vans-half-cab-lite.html

wish they still had 'em, honestly the original wafflecup blows the new stuff out of the water for boardfeel, skateability out of the box, and protection.. i'm guessing the new stuff was just less expensive to manufacture...

[white guy in a durag]

I want a barnyard twin tail and I want copers. I'm ready to use the monkey paw to revive the 90s.

Dunks you can actually just buy. Thunders with a longer baseplate.

[close]

Only in dreams. The last General Release was probably the orange Corduroy dunks back in 2019. Now they are being sold for $450 and go straight to a rich white kid's plastic box. Nike fucking up big time though...

Maaan I used to have so many dunks that I completely destroyed. My last pair was literally plain black and gray and they’re selling for $700 now. It’d be rad if they become available for actual skaters again because that shoe is one of the best I’ve ever skated.

Rumor with Nike is they’re planning to make SBs no longer exclusive to skateshops. Which means, hopefully, more production. I hope, at the least, a pair or plain jane dunk SBs that will be as plentiful and easily accessible as the all white air force 1

I got a pair of the non-SB dunks for retail in a raffle on SNKRS and I’m skating them. I know I could sell them on StockX for $215 but fuck it. They are seriously so good. Hopefully they make a Telford low that’s compatible.

Ace 77s (10”)

[Reed Richards]

Adidas should make superstars with colored stripes and heel tabs in more colors and available often (think red, orange, navy blue, burgundy, etc.)

[numagik]

a midtop named after an insect, maybe you make some out of hemp. could be cool

[TastyBurrito]

Half Cabs with Muska-esque tongue stash pockets. 

[rocklobster]

spitfire f4 V3 slims

Would gladly buy these in a 99a 54mm.

A shoe that has the grip / flick of a vulc with the cushion of a cup, if anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears.

[backside bonerless]

A Harry Lintell pro board. C'mon, Jim.

Personally I get that from the blazer mids. The sole is thick enough that you get a lot of cushion even though it is a vulc.

Truck baseplates with recesses for the nut, so you don't need a spanner to tighten them.

Fury used to have this, and it's such a great feature from a product design point of view.

[close]

Except that screwing in from the top bunches up the griptape.

I remember also seeing either nuts or special washers below the nuts that had like a prong that grabbed the side of the baseplate to hold them in place when screwing.

Lest we all forget....



To add to the convo:

Ti/forged 129/139/144/149/159/169 Indys that use the gotdayum 215 hanger design (we get the kooked Mindy instead).

[hobochimp]

Pants that are baggy in the thighs and seat but taper a lot towards the lower leg with a smaller leg opening. Preferably denim or at least have back pockets that are on the outside of the pants not the inside like on most chinos

[Xen]

1) A squaresicle. No, not a barnyard or twin but something shaped that is a little more blunt with a taper at both ends like a square 'egg' board but not extreme like they do the late 90s/last of the shaped boards noses...The doomsayers shovel nose with a more squared of tail (a more rounded version of their double shovel).



This is super close if it were just a but more rounded in the tail



2) A Gonz 'sweatpants' shaped deck that is slimmer, more full in the nose and more 'current day' functional, like a mild-shaped version of it.
