Fun to cruise and still pop of some curbs. I might want to try OJ Super Juice minis on this though.

Pig Rails

Occasionally run Slimeball 58mm 96a


One of my rails is wiggling out, think the wood stripped. Ya’ll recommend drilling new holes/deeper or just wood glueing it? The rattle is getting annoying.

[jtrpma]

Love the elephant, such a nice shape! One of the decks that put you in a good mood skating.

For the rails I’d take the screw out, fill the hole and underneath the loose part of the rail with strong glue and screw it back up. I a so keep a short hardware screw around in case the glue doesn’t work, you can drill through and bolt it tight

[YungJugg]

Ah good idea, i appreciate it. Gonna try that tomorrow. Only difficulty is taking out the screw since its thrashed into the rail but not the board.

Well the rail popped off right after I typed that, just have two screws left I gotta bang out the rail. Gonna try the glue later.

Love how flat the shape is, fun switchup from the steep-ish concave on my Polar popsicle.

I bought a 9,95 board and I cant really decide what trucks I should get. I have tried a pair of Indys 149's and they look ok, but of course I want bigger trucks. But I cant really decide if I should get the 159's or the 169's. They recommend 169's for the board size I have, but I think it would be enough with 159's when I tried the 149's. I dont really know how much wider the 159's are compared to the 149's?

Please help a brother out.

[animalflesh]

If it’s a cruiser choose the wider truck...

You can go faster with more stability and get big surfy turns

[ItsNoUse]

Black Label 8.5
Thunder Polished 149
OJ Mini Juice Translucent Black 55m
Clear Lucky Riser Pads
Andale Swiss bearings ( the old blue ones )
Shortys Silverados 1' Hardware
Mob Grip

This was my cruiser, unfortunately times got tough and I sold it to a friend. Hoping he will let me buy it back ...

[YungJugg]

Love Black Label’s shapes. Had one back in the day, lord knows which old homies garage its collecting dust in nowadays. What’s the duro on those OJs?

oj keyframes are 87a. I like em as a good middle ground!
Oj Mini juice as @itsnouse said are 78a. Soft like spitfire chargers and such.

Perfect setup, so sick!

I live in Malmö, Sweden. No hills at all here. Is there a big difference between 78D and 80D wheels? Thinking about Spitfire 80D and I just want to go fast but of course I need those powerslides.

every time i consider buying a cruiser, i just remind myself that its not worth spending money on when i can cruise on my regular board.

[close]

True, but big soft wheels making cruising city streets a lot nicer.

[close]

i think i'm the only one riding just big hard wheels. I like powersliding too much to run the softies.

I agree big 101a wheels.

I wish I had some like 60mm 101a radial slims

I think Spitfire cruiser wheels don’t have that great rep, I’ve been rocking bones and oj softies here in Finland.

[jtrpma]

I have a set of 60mm spit classics
They are big and wide enough to roll over anything and power slide smoothly without too much effort (compared to soft wheels) not as cushiony as really soft wheel but actually great cruiser and commuter wheel.

78a and 80a is barely a difference. Weird thing is I have a set of 78a longboard wheels that are really wide and fucked up but they slide much better than any other soft (but harder and much more narrow) wheel I have had  ( 85a key frames, 91a kryptonics, 85a Powell ssl, ...)

[authentic_creed_bratton]

The first cruiser wheels i ever had like fifteen years ago were similar to what you are talking about i think. I tried to ride them in a bowl and had absolutely no grip. Slid out and ate massive shit. It made me think that all soft wheels were like that so i never really fucked with them until recently, and boy was i wrong

what risers and trucks do you use with the 60mm? I’m tempted but worry about massive wheel bite and my 200lb self. Haven’t had 1/4” risers before

80D sucks, stay away from those. Get some Ricta clouds.

[hillbilly shifty]

not really a traditional cruiser.... but with time in virus isolation, got in some tinkering with old stuff to make a new toy. inspired by peter hewitt insta clips.
old antihero eagle cut down, old early 80s trackers (axles are 5" wide), some fat penny wheels, and grip tape scraps, random bushings/bearings/hardware.
pretty fun so far....

According to a YT project vid I watched yesterday, an upside polarizer is called a poserizer. Super sick quarantine project!

I run 1/8” risers on my 60mm classics and it’s plenty of space for my 220 lb ass.

Looks good! 
I did the same to an old REAL board.
I used a Krooked Zip Zinger Nano  7.125x29 as a template and cut it with a jigsaw.
Tracker RTX rear and RTS front 106mm slalom truck. Changed the bushings with regular indy bushings.
china reds
"slammer" wheels I bought on Ebay, some old wheels from way back I guess...
small riser pad
That's how I get to work every day 

[animalflesh]

70s Nash banana board
55mm 90a mini logo wheels
Reds
No grip cause that feels like cheating


Nothing more fun to bomb a mellow hill on

[FrozenIndustries]

Loving seeing these smaller, Polarizer-is setups. I once I can get out of here and get access to a jigsaw I am going to try and put one together for sure.
