Just putting this out into the universe: somebody should do an Ace but with stage 7s

NHS has the big bucks and is already very successful with their reissue boards, so would it kill them to reissue some trucks as well?

I am certain that you are correct, the logistics would be shit. But goddamn the dream…adding to the difficult details, I remember hearing some 5th hand account of indy leaving ermico and some talk of the molds…say they might not even have them. But stage 7s with modern manufacturing!? Fuck. The older truck sounded better too, but that’s most likely some fried shit that isn’t real

[close]i've been skating thunder 149 for most of the last decade, but have been skating mostly indy 149 in the last 2-3 years. this is the first pair of ace since my first and only set that i skated around 08-09[close]Love that ace turn, and being able to run big ass wheels with little to no wheelbite, so I can’t totally banish the ace, but…I cannot pop for shit on most setups with ace. Right now I’m on thunder 149s, and really appreciate the pop and consistency. I skate flatground mostly. If I was on round walls it’d be right back to the ace.

What are experiences with Classic hangers in AF1 baseplates? I don’t like my AF1s but I do have a spare set of classic 55 hangers I wouldn’t mind putting on a pool board. Sorry I know this has definitely been answered before, I couldn’t find anything via search but I know it’s definitely here. I know one combination worked better than the other but struggling to remember.

Where is the regular hollow AF1’s? Thought that was a thing... :'(
Ace virgin here, have a pair of the Ace 03 that I'm thinking to try, dip my toes into the world of Ace before the new AF1 Low gets released.Anyone got a review of the 03? They are listed as 53mm on the Ace website which seems off since Classic are 53mm. Thinking of rocking them on a 8.25, if you've done similar let me know.

When? Not sure. Interview on VHS mag with Joey Tershay states that Hollow AF-1 is in the works. i’m just planning on using risers with the lows. 1/8 inch risers are 3.17 mm, so riding them with the lows would put it 52.17 height. 53 is AF-1 normal. I think 52 is classic.
