Post Your Cruiser

It is a wonderful shape, nice and flat too. I never did 7.5 on the regs but I saw that at the shop and was in love.

I for sure had homies in the 90s who skated skinny boards with big wheels...distinctly remember one of the dudes I skated with rocking a 7.5 23 Clyde Singleton with some huge 60mm-looking guys. I've never been able to do big wheels (recently tried 55s and hated it) except in the context of a cruiser.

This is so true one of my favourite set ups from around 97

97 sounds about right. I’d have to go back and look at Old video release dates. My favorites were trilogy and mouse, but not being in California the big wheel east coast thing was really cool to us. Not sure why we needed this combo of small boards and huge wheels....you could definitely Ollie higher with the big ass wheels, when you managed to hit your tail. I guess 8” was as large as I saw without someone being ‘that’ person at the park with the one big board. Dudes that just skated transition were riding boards less than 8”. Kinda funny

my late-to-class setup
Indy 169s, stock
55mm 86a acid chemical co. "pods"
reds and jessup
APB (Honolulu) 9"+ shop deck

they said the deck is a generator Grosso AH shape. can anyone identify it? (looks like a rounder green giant to me?)

I'm just guessing, but I think Ricky in EE3 popularized the small (at the time normal) board and big wheels combo...pretty sure he was running like a 7.75" with 60mm. I know that video was super influential in my circle, though I was always the dude skating tiny wheels and dying on sidewalk cracks, winter debris, whatever.

The weather's starting to pick up so I went down to the shop and bought a new cruiser setup yesterday. Ignore the instagram text, I had to download the photo from my story.

Polar Oski 9.25
Indy 159s
Bones Rough Riders 80a 59mm
Reds

This is actually my first ever cruiser setup, I've pushed around on friends' before but it's nice to have a smooth rider of my own now.

That’s beautiful!! How’s that shape? Could we get a picture of the top?

I don't recall any Grosso shapes looking like that, but I had an AH with a cow on it that looked like that shape. I'm surprised I can't find a picture of it, but it was pretty much all wood grain with a drawing of a cow (like their 1998 video "cow").

Sorry I was asking, in a really terrible way, what size trucks and wheels you had on that guy. I thought about picking up a Bowie board and it never happened but if I did I also woulda set it up.

[concerned_parent]

i have that bowie board but i feel like it's going to end up on my wall and not under my feet. no concave and barely any nose/tail kick. i've got the jason adams bowie board on the wall currently.

Sorry, didn't see this til now. I really dig the shape, the widest part of the board being right around the front truck and it narrowing down towards the middle is really nice. I actually wasn't huge on the rough riders, they're too wide for my taste so I threw them in my trunk as a backup set and put some 56 mm 78a Ricta Clouds on it.

They're sick! They make a 56mm now I will probably get for my next cruiser set. These are the 59s. I dig the harder wheel but with a wider contact patch, so they can power slide and shit but they grip real well too unless you're trying to slide.

Downsizing the cruiser, made with some fresh, some random old parts. The frankenstein trucks feel really nice, surfy and responsive. Not sold on the wheels yet, coming from a bigger cruiser with 60mm 85a bombers that powerslid quite well. Definitely miss the ability to slide these wheels going down a hill but also wanted something that looked more well proportioned for the smaller board. Would appreciate recs for soft wheels around this size/width that are slideable if that exists.

Grossos boards are super square with super squared out rails.

keyframes. mine slid very easily once broken in.

or if you really can't jive with keyframes, you could try OJ's 'in crust we trust' 92a.
