If they followed Korahn around every day of his life I’d watch it all.

"The ledge is so dry, it's rusty''

Probably going to be the thing I'm going to keep saying whenever I deal with sticky ass ledges now.

Looking forward to seeing his part in the new vid.
i don’t think any of you are real, i think slap was invented by my mom to make me think people want to talk to me

he didn't get the switch bs fllip or the sshf, so as far as i'm concerned he's a failure and a fraud.

jk

his 'cover versions' part is one of my absolute faves.

Used to see him skating my local quite often when he was a teenager, he was a proper little ripper... great to see him still getting it done.

That whole blips crew is next level skill wise. I like korahn he’s confident but still seems nice and grateful. It was cool to see Lloyd’s in a day of the life type series, I’ve only seen it in video parts. Why was he able to park right there when there where no other cars around seemed funny?

I wondered the same, it was never open to cars when I used to skate there unless they were vans/trucks setting up an event or something... probably just a gate left open and drove down to get that shot.

Three bolt gang gang! I feel seen.

Is there a a practical reason people do this? Or is it like having your wheel graphic facing in?

No practical reason. I’m just lazy and like the aesthetics of the three bolt pattern.

Wheel graphics in always unless you need to even out your coned wheels. Spitfire F4 don’t seem to cone as much as other brands.

No practical reason other than I’m lazy and I like the aesthetics of the three bolt pattern.

By the time it's time to swap them around you should of already grinded the graphics off. It's kinda weird wheel graphics became a thing/are still a thing when it seems almost nobody likes them. They could save some time and money and just do one wheel has the graphic per set.
How do you decide which bolts to do and which to leave without?

I do two for the front and one bottom left (looking at the nose of the board) for the nose like this

: .

Then mirror that for the tail.

I like the clean look of white wheels so that’s why I do graphics inwards.

Oh I'm definitely a graphic facing inward guy.

I wish all wheel graphics were as simple and understated as those Spitfire lil smokies.

I usually just use three on the nose so I can easily tell between nose and tail.

it's that make do with what you have scarcity mindset mixed with pure laziness. Both pretty common in skateboarding. Every now and again a hardware breaks. Not to be a nerd but rocking 3 is exposes the other to more stress, so you end up breaking more than if you just ran 4.

Not if you buy Bronze 56K baby! If it ain’t Bronze, it ain’t shit. Seriously tho, I haven’t had one of my Bronze bolts break while running 3 or 4, but broke many other bolts running 4.
