About the worst possible angle for a fakie ollie but here is my Huffer and I at Burnside last week. Dawn patrol on my 47th birthday.

So fucking gnarly. If you've been there, you know...

Thanks @Frank and Fred and @BartHarleyJarvis

I must have missed or forgotten those specs being posted. The Blue Meanie definitely took quite a bit of effort to pop. The Huffer being similar dimensions but more nimble and easy sounds awesome. I can hardly resist anymore even though I’m not even able to skate right now due to being injured.

Also good looks on the cute action shots @Francis Xavier & @Frank and Fred

Good stuff!

I put on an NKA video of && because I wanted to see the DIY they were skating, and &&’s board he’s riding is suspiciously huffer-ish…. He may be ripping off this cults favorite shape for his next board. Had his graphic and everything

Took me 8 pages worth of time but I finally caved and bought a Huffer.

Love the huffer action shots! @Frank and Fred that shot is mind blowing, @Francis Xavier that is among the most aesthetically pleasing photos I’ve ever seen, absolutely drenched in style.

Here’s me on the huffer. Moments before I got cheese grated olling off a jersey barrier on a freeway on ramp into a big crusty bank.

Nice @Freelancevagrant ! Keep 'em coming.

That 14.75" Wheelbase keeping you stable as you charged down that mountain, I'm sure.

No, I don't think so. I have set ups for both, and even though the Blue Meanie is technically not as wide as huffer, it *feels* like a much bigger board. Somehow, the huffer skates a lot closer to a popsicle and feels like a much smaller board. The Blue Meanie is like rolling around on a coffin. That's just my experience, but the huffer seems to have some magic to it that the blue meanie doesn't.

The blue meanie is a bigger version of the raney shape and the Ronnie Sandoval krooked shape.

The closest thing to a smaller huffer is the Black Label Reuter egg. Which is tied for my second favorite shape.

Was BA on a green Huffer in this?

Really looks like it on the fakie flip. Ace trucks, Huffer BA... its a winning combo.

hobochimp · « **Reply #226 on:** June 15, 2022, 01:37:20 PM »

whats everyone's favorite trucks on their huffers? I've been running ace classic 55s on mine mainly as a cruiser setup but I took it for a spin doing some flatground and it honestly flipped really well despite the size and weight. No risers either.

I initially set mine up wth Ace AF1 66s and they were way too wide. I swapped for Indy 149s and that's been the sweet spot for me. I think 8.5"-8.75" axle trucks are perfect for huffer.

Frank and Fred · « **Reply #228 on:** June 15, 2022, 01:40:09 PM »

In order of preference:

Ace AF1 60s
Ace Classic 55s
Ace AF1 66s
Thunder 151
Indy 159
Venture 6.1

Would like to try Thunder 161s but I'm too far along my Ace journey right now and trying to chill on equipment experimentation.

Ok · « **Reply #229 on:** June 15, 2022, 03:17:22 PM »

Thunder 151 hollows for me.
I assume I’d enjoy ace classic 55s.

pops · « **Reply #230 on:** June 16, 2022, 12:57:06 AM »

Huffer will be my next board for sure. Should be perfect for the type of skating I do which is mostly transition nowadays. I liked the blue meanie I had before but I'd like more width than it has. Should I go with Af1 66s or 60s?

Are there any Huffers that don't have the Eagle graphic?

Legit thinking of putting one on..... Royals.

right now i think the easiest to find that's not an eagle would be the curbageddon huffer, i wanna say?

i have a brand new in shrink curbageddon huffer id be willing to sell/ship for a reasonable price (or trade). anyone interested just PM me.

bryan · « **Reply #234 on:** June 16, 2022, 09:17:48 AM »

It released today, on the website it is 9.125x32 and the website photo makes it look more like a 9.125" symmetrical flyer. So unless the info and pic are wrong, it's huffer-like but not exactly.

BartHarleyJarvis · « **Reply #238 on:** June 16, 2022, 10:11:01 AM »

Definitely tempted to grab the purple one, even with $14 shipping. Anyone else going to cop?

Frank and Fred · « **Reply #239 on:** June 16, 2022, 10:21:43 AM »

Sick looking boards but @bryan was right, not Huffers.

BA's really did look like one, as I swear it had the tell-tale width over the back truck, which is the defining characteristic of the huffer.
