[Randozzi]

[Dick Butkus]

This is like my 10th time trying to post this ugh
Girl board, 7.75 I think
8" Thunders, raw
Spitfire Speedies 80hd, fantastic wheels
Girl Gold bearings, they aren't great but get the job done
Bones soft bushings
"Leftover" 1" allen hardware, best hardware out!
Mob Grip

This deck was actually supposed to be a lot wider, but the manufacturers messed up on all these boards, but they ended up selling better than all the other cruisers they released with it.

[Rusty_Berrings]

Thing broke, but was awesome while it lasted.

[pica]

I have a p3 set up as a cruiser and I like it, kinda wish I would have gotten the p2 instead though but...

Same goes with p3, I've only had one and I haven't found one online since

New wheels (those 80D Spits) on the Crail cruiser...psyched! It's as fun again as when I first got it.

Did the board come gripped, or did you do that?? If it was you, nice job.

[dino conflict]

Thanks. It a 10" wide board and grip is only 9" wide so I had to get drunk and creative to get done with one sheet.

Hold on..... You were drunk, too?? Gnar'd.

Due to the untimely death of my last jip jinger, I set this up.

[Rocko]

This thread makes me wants a zip zinger now haha. A few years ago found a set of wheels for cheap at a yardsale. Homie says they were bullets but i'm not too sure. They're pretty soft and not too big, I'd say 55 or 56mm. And the other day a friend of mine gave me some 139 hollow Kostons so I replaced them for my 145 Thunder lows. I'm thinking of getting a zip zinger or a creature bruicidal tendencies deck and setting up the thunders and wheels. I'll need risers for sure though my trucks are pretty loose.

I remember going out skating with a dude in high school who had a metal board. At the time, I thought it was a foray into new skateboarding technology, but the tail also bent down to the ground from him doing a 180 on a five stair.

[JB]

looked through this thread today while i was at work and now i really want a cruiser. probably going to stop by the shop tomorrow and check out what theyve got. i really like these two heroin decks and the slave rat racer. ive got to get something between 7.625 and 7.88 because the only spare trucks i have are some 7.75 ventures and i really dont want to blow a bunch of money on a cruiser set up.

[brownjenkin]

^^Street Creep looks awesome.

[360 frip]

Slave board is such an antihero bite it is crazy.

[Rusty_Berrings]

best colors of the 3. how big?

[JB]

splurged on the street creep christmas complete. its a 7.75. pretty awesome shape, the big square tail is really sick.

rest of the setup is:
58mm 80hd spitfires
super reds
krux k4 hi's. (never tried krux and got them because they were pretty cheep. im really impressed so far. it took maybe once up and down the block to break them in)

this is also the first time ive tried a custom grip job. it turned out ok, but i have a new respect for anyone who cuts any kind of intricate details in their grip.

i got to skate it for a few hours today and ive had more fun with it than i have skating in a long time. theres this little hill by my girlfriends house that ive bombed before on my regular board and the ground is so shitty that you barely get any speed riding down. i took the cruiser down it today and was honestly a little scared when i first started rolling down. its so fast and smooth. anyone who knocks cruisers needs to give one a try for a few hours. so much fun! sorry for the long stupid post, but im so psyched on this board. i havent had this much fun skating in a long time.

Nice work, JB - shape looks great.

Red Cross shark fin
60mm pig cruisers
bones swiss 6
tracker trucks with flints that spark when you grind, no shit

love this board it's so fast

[metsuri]

This one of those cork tops, 65 mm Zip Zinger wheels. Why on earth I got Indys for this, while I normally skate Thunders, is beyond me.

[JB]

whats the deal with the cork tops? are you supposed to grip them, or skate them ungripped? i can see that having the cork top might absorb some of the shock and rumbling from shitty ground and make the board feel smoother. how do they skate?

I skate mine ungripped. You can grip it too but I think the point is it being easy on the shoes. Before I got those big 65 mm wheels and huge risers, I had 55mm wheels and you could actually "skate" it more, do little ollies and stuff. But even then, I didn't really trust the cork to grip on ollies, so ollieing on curbs was slightly interesting. But now with these colossal wheels, I don't have to worry about ollies cause they're impossible. Now this is strictly for cruising to work, store etc.
