Nothing like Dane 1 at all. Looks like proportionate Nose/ Tail. Huffer style nose, eggy rails, and tail a bit more like a beach bum.

My understanding is that the Grimple Huffer will be the normal specs.

This is a regular Huffer.

I was just now wondering whether people (on SLAP) fuck with Thunders and Ventures on the Huffer.  Glad to see it. I have Aces on mine and it’s great but…madnesss, so of course I wondered about Thunders and Ventures.

You enjoying it with the Thunders?

Will be copping the new Grimple huffer. Waiting to see if my local gets it in so I can support, but it is already available on Skate Warehouse for those ordering online.

Typically I ride Ace but i have a soft spot for 151s. Been awhile since I've tried them on a Huffer and this set up might be on ice until the weather gets a bit better (currently using a beat up old board with 97as) but I have high hopes for these Team lights and smaller wheels.

Grabbed the newest Huffer. This one is for following my 4-year-old around the neighborhood or through paved trails in the woods near our house. I'm still using riding last drop's Herndon graphic Huffer for bowls and mini ramps.

Please excuse the too-long hardware. It's all I had that fit the 58mm wheels and 1/4" risers.

Edit: Apologies. That rug is filthy. My home office doubles as a playroom/snack room for my two young children.

I was wondering when we'd see someone rolling the new graphic. Look at the tires on that thing! Should be fun

I was going to save it, but I really needed something for cruising with the kid. The Huffer shape is pretty perfect for that. It's really a Swiss army knife deck. It kills at small transition, curbs, even some flat ground.

Of course, you all know this already.

I want to set up a Huffer Cruiser at some point but might go with narrower trucks.

I recently asked DLX for a Wheel Well Huffer..and Slick Huffer... one can dream...

For me, the 159s work great, especially with the bigger wheels. I don't see bolts or anything. I just need stability on the cruiser more than anything so I went as wide as I could without seeing the wheels from the top.

Would you go with 149s?

Ace AF1 55s or the new stage 4 151s which are 8 5/8". The wider cruiser wheels mean you can get away with a smaller hanger.

Oh damn. I totally forgot about 151 Stage 4s. Now I have to rethink everything…

I have a huffer cruiser with OJ super juices. I had 149s on it, now I’m riding 159s on it. I liked it better with the 149s because the OJs are so wide. The wheels stick out with the 159s, but it doesn’t bother me enough to go back to 149s. Either one works, but if you’re buying a new set of trucks, I’d say go for the 149s.

Took the Mezcalero out last night and rolled around some fresh concrete downtown. Froze my ass and couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

Super fun shape that just works.  WB, width, taper...it all just feels balanced.

That's really it. The balance of dimensions and shape. Long live the Huffer!

What did you set it up with? I'm always curious about truck choice for the Huffer.

1/8" Real risers
Indy 159
56mm F4 conical full 97
Quantum Rogers metallics

I think the 159s with wide wheels are perfect on this deck.

What trucks and wheel size would the Huffer heads of this thread choose to use on a Huffer with a “I” stamp (super mellow everything)?

I had “I” stamp Huffer, flat, and it felt weird with 53mm wheels and Aces. 58mm + 1/8” risers felt the best but was not without drawbacks.

It’s a fun deck. Next time around I might try a different combo of trucks/wheels. Just curious what everyone’s ideal Huffer setup looks like, I guess.

The Is are the steep ones, no? IVs would be the mellow ones (bottom of the stack).

That's been my experience. Had a I for the last Huffer and a III for my latest and the III is definitely more mellow.
