I see The Drop still has those Pizza decks for $30. I wonder if they’re going out of business cause I doubt they’re very popular 😂

Anyway, I got curious and compared the 8.5 shovel shape to an FA board of the same size and they’re basically identical (FA is a little longer, his a slightly steeper nose, and is BBS of course). I wonder if PS Stix just used the old FA molds or something lol

Just got my box. It shipped directly from Pizza, so I looked on their site and and they have a bunch of $25-$30 boards as well. They have a bunch of normally-priced boards, so I don't think they're going out of business...probably just the usual "Oops, we overbought after the initial COVID shortage."

I got an email from Jordan who notified me that the 440 highs in my order were sold out in my size (i suppose my wallet appreciates that lol). He refunded the difference and was super polite about it. He also informed me that he runs the shop and web store all alone while working full-time outside the store so he sometimes does get behind on inventory updates on the webstore.

I would just be patient and hope that most of the stuff you ordered is in stock and will get shipped out sometime this week.

Jordan @ Union is good people. I had to exchange a pair of shoes for a smaller size once and he was very nice. Albeit I had to pay the return shipping, but I didn't care since he runs the shop himself and it's a small local business I'm supporting in the end.

I placed my order from the recent sale on Wednesday 2/8 and they created the label on 2/10 but it still hasn't moved. Just gotta be patient and wait it out. Probably sold a good bit of a stuff with a 50% off deal.

They’re probably also moving a bit slow and broken today. Especially seeing the Eagles just lost last night.

I haven't heard anything about my order from Union yet either but I figured this bolded part was the case with them. I've ordered stuff from them before and had no problems with it, so I'll just wait patiently for them to ship my pants I definitely don't need anyways.

LOL yeah same here, ordered those Louie Volcom pants from them last Wed and figured this was the case too, glad to hear others are also experiencing the same so not gonna further bombard their inbox and continue to wait patiently. Let the small skateshop cook and fulfill these amazing deals!

Im tempted as well. I hear they turn really well and bushings are very soft. Im trying to find out if anyone has rode 55 mm wheels with them and how that is first. I think the truck is 52mm high which is lower than i normally ride but i love 55mm wheels. Im almost tempted to just say fuck it and spend the 28 bucks and hope for the best

Jordan at Union is legit and a good dude, one man operation so expect shipping to be slower especially after a sale. Order multiple times from Union and zero complaints.

They are a middle ground truck combining the best bits of Indy (turn), Thunder (weight) and Venture (pinch and slide) without excelling at any 1 area. They push the wheels out around 3.125" roughly similar to a Indy Forged or Thunder Cast. The bushings start out medium but get mushy over time, I'd recommend going aftermarket on them. In terms of the IKP their baseplate comes threaded so the kingpin sits in more securely versus the Indy Mids which have been reported to wiggle loose. Weight wise they are close to a Thunder Standard or a Venture V-Light.

For $28 they are worth the price, I'd choose them over Krux or any entry level truck brand, just below the big 4. They are a huge upgrade from the 2000s era ones.

Shop decks at $28, stacks with the 10% discount code if you sign up for their mailing list.


Last I heard their shop boards were BBS with a shovel nose like FA / Hockey, great looking full dip decks too.

Some designs are shovel nose like FA/Hockey and others are Baker shape.

LBSkate is my local and their decks are legit.

Is there any indicators for which is the FA shape?

By the looks of the shape on the pic it looks full, not sure about the orange / yellow one:

I dropped them a DM, no reply yet.



Based off this pic they look like the same shape for all 3 graphics.

any reply? I'm getting to be broke and $28 BBS shovel nose would be real nice to stock up on  ;)

for everyone waiting on orders from Unionskate:
-i reached out on IG and they responded very quickly. basically saying that they're having problems with Shipstation and that they're a bit backed up bc of so many orders
-my hoodie was shipped like 4ish hours ago, so looks like they're finally sending stuff
-dude was super appreciative and responsive. show Union some love
