Post Your Cruiser

[YungJugg]

Wheels are 56mm slimebombs which I think are similar width to the key frames on yours?

wow I love that grip job, so pleasing.

[weon]

Hey there!

Anybody have a zip zinger on here?


i just ordered a 7.75 wide one and can't figure out wich trucks i should go with and how wide the board is over the trucks!

i think of either going with thunder 143 or 145s

YES. damn clean.. just a cruiser? that looks like a do-it-all set up with some 56mm conical fulls as you mentioned. 
8.75 X 31.5 WB14.38
NOSE: 6.5 TAIL: 6.75

find myself tiring of going back and forth between two set ups.. just want something to grab and go. fun trying different gear but really just want to hone in on what works.

been feeling the same way recently, have to setups that serve different functions. one for everything and the other for strength training. probably dont NEED the big boy but cant do the mental gymnastics to get rid of one or the other.

"strength training" sounds like a good enough excuse to still have it around, even though it probably doesnt help switching back and forth between shit

Either will work. I had 5.0s on mine and there was a little hotdogging in the back. I think 143s will technically fit better, but I wasn’t about to buy new trucks for a little jammer that got me to the train and back.

Goddamn, the surf shape looks so sick. If I didn't just get a shaped board and if these weren't sold out everywhere I'd definitely be all over it. Would you say the wheel wells make a noticeable difference in terms of wheelbite?

yes, they make a world of difference... my trucks are set to loose (not Max Palmer loose) and even with those 58mms I could not get the wheels to bite

I see, good to hear they make a substantial difference. Really tempted to get one of these in the future, hopefully they keep this shape as a regular in the lineup with more graphics. Looks super fun, though I personally would prefer a slightly less square tail, a lil more rounded.

[YungJugg]

I've got 144's (8.25) on mine. They were laying around and I didn't want to spend any money on new trucks at the time. It's fun for sure, they monster truck a bit but it doesn't bother me.

[Meathook]

-Zig Zagger - varies between 8.25” and 8.6” depending where you measure
-Thunder 149 standard with aftermarket Thunder white soft bushings
-65mm 85A Creative Urethane wheels (got for $10, not as smooth as OJ but they can slide a little bit)
-Bearings that came with the wheels
-Hardware and 1/8” risers from Labor

[DarkPools]

My little "cruise to the store for a beer and some skittles" type shit or when I want to cruise and not do tricks. Does it stop me from trying to flip it or grind some shit while out? No. Never. You could give me a totally dysfunctional skateboard thing and I'd still try to skate it! Ha!

- Zip Zagger. 7.75"? NES Platformer Graphic (probably not the name but it has Mario and DK lol)
- Indy 149 Black AVE Standards with some silver standard baseplate from another 149 Indy I was rotating from 5 years back or so.
- Bushings: Stock White Super Soft (88?) Indy ones.
- OJ Keyframe 56mm: Teal/Green
- Bones Reds
- 1/4" riser.

I don't mind the hot rodding. It feels pretty good since I don't get wheel bite and feel stable while carving fast!

Finished this up today.  Winkowski deck flipped upside down, unknown roller skate trucks cut in half, OJ Keyframes 58mm and some swiss.  No bolts, i just drilled the trucks through the deck and grinded down the exposed screws.

Nice polarizer attempt.

I did a wiggler as well, cut out of an old Powell Flight deck. Had old Indy 101’s on it, but the penny board truck I found in the bushes at a local park turn way better. Rough rider wheels are fast and grippy.

At one point I had a wider homemade “polarizer” with Indy 109s on it and I loved the turn.  What’s weird about roller skate trucks for me is they seem to be either turning or not turning.  The tension seems to be a joke.  Your Powell polarizer setup looks rad though, are you having better luck with the truck setup on it now that you’ve switched to penny trucks? 

[HyperBeam]

My Heated Wheel type of thing. It's a 70s Hang Ten fibreglass 26.5x5.75 deck (Blender rides a Bahne that is pretty much the same). ACS 430 roller-skate trucks. Bones 78a 58mm roller-skate wheels.

Changed the bushings from standard Independent 92a to Khiro orange 79a in front and a softer than 92a old Tracker on rear with Independent on top. And stuck some washers on to widen the track of the wheels. Rides a lot better than before.

where did you find those wheels?

WAAAY better. It turns in half the radius. Feels much more springy and loose
