I wish there was a non addictive drug you could take to make you fearless to try tricks that also improved stamina and coordination and gave you higher pop.

Monsters, bruh. 

Shit. You said non-addicting. That Beast will grab hold of you and never let you go. Best to not start it. The pop will be higher, but at what cost?

Not worth it. Stay safe.
Thanks y’all. It’s been fun.

Venture bushing rebuild kit, purple bushings, silver top and bottom washer, Pivot Cups included, nuts optional.

And I know there is the loose truck conversion kit but there are no washers included and I'm talking about the original size bushings plus washers to lengthen the life of the truck.

Yes for sure, I just want to be able to buy Venture stock bushings before they EOL'd the Bait and Tackle bushings.

It was a slow day at work today, so I drew an idea I've had for a while. Clearance of inverted kingpins without all the inverted kingpin issues. Although perhaps you'll run into other issues and your trucks will explode. Donald Cassel, eat your heart out.

Your kingpin idea reminds me of the Powell Ratnuts Sexbolts.. Used to use those things back in the old days..

Hey Slappys happened, you can too!

That’s not a bad idea… :o

Don’t give up on it, and call them PuffinWings.

I just want more skate shoe's to come with extra hidden lace loops standard. I remember it being more of a thing like a decade ago, particularly with sole tech shoes. I flick really aggressively so I chew through laces otherwise. I'm skating some Lakai Terraces and they might be the best fitting shoe for my foot that I've skated, I just hate having to super glue laces and still end up changing them every other sesh.

Also I wish shoe's would fucking stop using a separate panel for lace loops, just do some stitching for detailing instead, it always starts to come apart and looks worn in a way that just looks shitty. This happens with so many shoes, I skated some of those Adidas puig shoes with the weird "V" detail on the heel of the sole and they were great since the laces never ripped, but it kinda sucked when that panel that covers the lace loops started to come off.

Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

I love this. Metal on metal will undo on it's own though. Unless you are thinking to use a shim pack to adjust bushing tightness and then loctite the screw in?

Shrunken Head skate (rip) here in Portland made those. It was more a cover than a bag with elastic keeping it snug. Worked pretty well. No strap though.

Proper is a brand from Thailand that makes heavy duty skate bags, they keep boards dry but are thick and heavy. If you don't mind weird graphic prints or colors you can find waterproof drawstring ones on AliExpress for pretty cheap and foldable.

I feel like coming with a micro tube of lock tight would be a feature.

I miss silk screens.

Nothing is ever going to look that good again.

I would like to buy a Matt Tomasello transformer board.

I wish I had a tour manager cuz I can't do it. I got to book 3 one week 8 day tours and I can only get 3 shows out of state

You had me at "Daddy's" on the baseplate.
The innovative kingpin approach was just extra gravy flavored frosting on my mash potato cake.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me… You think you got me?

Aftermarket Lunarlon insoles in various depths and drops depending on your foot shape and what shoe you want to put them in.

Edit:
Right after posting this my curiosity had me googling Lunarlon insoles and this site came up. Anyone familiar with this?

That site looks as sketchy as an email from an Arabian Prince regarding your grandma and her inheritance that is stuck in South America that only needs Amazon gift cards from the nearest Best Buy to pay for a plane ticket to a Western Union in Cuba where the cousin of Escobar (yes THAT Escobar) can install anti-virus software on your computer to protect you from thieves that will use your computer to mine all your bitcoin that is owed to you and thus bankrupt you where the government will put you in jail for $5 million dollars where you will not be able to help the Prince send you your inheritance from Arabia.

lil smokies radial fulls

switched over to 52mm classics
almost forgot how much i love a low setup
but the riding patch cant bulldoze thru much in nyc

this would be the solution
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Good effort. But that's going to be heavy AF.

It continuously pains me to pimp Bones product, but the x97/99 have been a complete game changer for me and I’m also in nyc.  Coming from 52mm FF Classics also to equiv. size and shape in X Formula, is night and day.

At first I thought this was a pretty legit company but given this response I figured I’d dig a little deeper into them.
As far as I can tell your comment is painfully correct. Mostly sketchy reviews in the positive and seemingly legitimate reviews in the negative.
Save yourselves some headache and disregard the link. Don’t want anyone here to waste their time and money.
If something is too good to be true then it probably is.

which do you prefer?
i tried dragons, and they are cool for some stuff, but, to me, they are glorified key frames. georgie hit everyone with the ‘10 years of development’ (about the same amount of time that the mini logo trucks were in r&d iirc, a decade being the maximum amount of time us peasant skateboarders can conceive of), and most people seem to love em.
they aren’t shit, but they are cruiser wheels.
i loved the quietness, of the dragons, and the softer ride was good on my old cranky skeleton.
maybe i’m just too into f4s?
