Re post from 9 inch deck thread

I just got run over by a car while bombing a hill. I was for 3 weeks in the hospital asleep for 2. Anyway it was a perfect moment to set up this Krooked board that I bought since 2022 with @Freelancevagrant at Austin. The only thing is that I got to take the wheel at the front since it got all the way there while being run by the car.

Jesus, Mate... glad you're alive... Tell us more about that accident...

Thanks dude! @Frank and Fred
What happened was that I had been filming all day and we were over so I wanted to go to my car to get my jacket. I bombed a hill that I bombed every day I was there. I don't remember anything what happened but I was told by my friends and later on the doctors. The hill passes by a 4 lane intersection where the other ones have to pass a stop sign so they can go through it. This car went right through without stopping and ran me over. I laid unconscious for a bit and returned walking to the skate shop walking. My friends asked me what had happened and I had trouble talking clearly with people and eventually threw up blodd all over my sshirt. They called an ambulance and I refused to get in. They later took me to the hospital in my car to meet up with my family.

That night (and next morning) I was operated where they opened my cranium in 5 different places to remove the blood clots that had formed in my brain. I stayed in a Coma for 2 weeks and then all of the sudden I regained conscious and had felt I had woken up from a short nap and told them to let me leave. They told me what they had done with me (open cranium, tracheotomy and other shit) so I had to wait up. I also was talking getting stuck a lot so I had to wait to improve. A week passed and I felt great, the doctor refused but saw I had progressed a lot and he told me a miracle had happened because he thought I was gonna die.

He let me sign some papers and get out. He told me that I had to wait a couple of months to drive again and not to skate again ever. Right now my family drives me around or an uber but I can drive no problem. I told him that I understood the deep shit that happened because of the accident but I told that I had been skating for 18 years and had broken some parts and shit but this was the only time I had something this gnar happen and I wouldnt quit skating because of it. Ive been skating flat in my room (my legs are missing some strength but its getting better each time)and have went out to shoot photos and film some of my friends. He told me that he couldnt force me to quit but its what he'd recommend. I understand what happened but he doesn't understand the benefits of skating for me and everyone in general and the passion that skating moves in me. He and the other doctors told me that I'd get back to 100% fine in a few months miraculously,  since he thought I was gonna die or become paralyzed.

Anyways, I reset the filmer board that got fucked with the Krooked board, I just need to remove the front wheel from the truck so it. works 100% but I have my regular board working like usual so it's what I'm skating now. Thanks for asking buddy! Sharing this makes me get these thoughts out of my body.

Life is a delicate thing

Glad you’re ok man

That's so horrific to read, man. I'm glad your're alright and recovering.

[intendedreceivers]

Appreciate the responses guys. For reference this is in Colorado, about half bike path, half sidewalk/road.

The hills aren't very steep, but they are big enough to get going faster than run-out speed, which is why being able to slide/speed-check is important to me.

The 56 and 58 conical Dragons seem too skinny. The 60 Rat Bones would probably be great, but I don't like the shape.

Tempted by some 58 97a Radial Fulls...

Not sure if you were aware or not (I hate how they list the measurents for the Powell-branded wheels; I wish they’d just list the Bones shape equivalent ffs), but the 56mm Dragons are actually a bit wider than the 58s. They’re more like the V6/Wide shape than a Sidecut or Conical. They’re no radial full, but I also think the Dragon urethane is much more suited to a cruiser setup than the F4/97A personally.

Love this. I had a Dane1 setup like that before putting wider trucks and 54mm wheels on it. Skated it 3 times since then so I think I'm going back to having it like this.

Yep. The “reformulated” ones.

That’s a bummer. I haven’t used my 80HDs yet, but maybe I’ll save them for the winter now.

Quick update but my 80Hd replacements have been great. I recommend breaking them in before going to crazy on them. I do the same thing with hard wheels also. Push around some rough streets, bomb a hill or two. All wheels seem more vulnerable when they are brand new.

Anyway... 80Hds are super fun if you want a cruiser wheel that performs a bit more like hard wheel (Not in  Dragons, slidablity type of way).

You can smash into curbs on these without worrying about crazy bouncy rebound.

Nice. If the rain ever stops this winter, I’m definitely going to start riding these to the office. I’m just excited to have a cruiser wheel in a real shape for once. I love the Hot Juices, but these Portland streets can really chunk up those retro-style shapes.

[schralp pal]

Had to scratch this itch for the krod shaped deck, got the smaller 8” size, and also had to get smaller trucks since I only have 8.5 and up, so I went full frenchy and snagged some Touz
V-light 5.2HIs - initial cruise with the sml 52mm 92a’s and some Swiss was zippy and satisfying.

[Anxiety]

Bank mauler is an underrated deck

[Frank and Fred]

You think the Bank Mauler would be good on pump tracks?

[Anxiety]

Me? 100%

it’s the perfect width with a tiny bit of flex

best pump track board since the ggi quadroplane

to be fair I've only bombed some hills and cruised to 7-11 on it a few times in some vans canvas authentics which keep my tricks to a minimum. glad i got the smaller size  though, it feels nimble but long too which i prefer.  I think side wings go to 9" which are kinda crazy to look down on. I can ollie it no problem Steep nose and tail per FA/Hockey. might bring it to my curb some day because it has a beautiful green bottom ply that I want slide off a bit. but 8" trucks venture especially are very foreign to me.

edit: thing is totally phallic and looks like a lumpy penis on both ends.

My favorite combo was Dane1, 8.5" trucks and Super Juices. I would use that setup the most. Sadly the OJs didnt last more than couple months after exploding. I wouldnt ride anything else.

Very hyped on these 93s so far. They fit my use perfectly. Long pushes, spot exploration, transport but I want to be able to skate em too, sometimes.

They've slid and pinched grinded on metal for me, they sound like a skateboard wheel. Not too bouncy. I dunno, other people have talked about em. They're good. Try em if yr interested.

Chico stix big boy 9 (love this shape), royal 8.75s and oj super juices. Such a fun set up
