Sale Gear Thread

[IUTSM]

Even when I skated street 5x week and used a skateboard as a mode of transportation, I never went thru 4 sets of wheels per year. Jeeezuz. I got the gear madness when I came back to SLAP, but idk about spending multiple 1000s of dollars. No shame, but damn that's a lot of dough on skateboarding. I was buying new decks before I really needed them, but now that I'm back at it, I'm skating that shit til it's toast.

How do you get to skate so much that you go they gear so fast and also work, have families, etc? Again, not shaming, I just don't understand. I know its hard to not buy shit, consumeritis, I had to keep my hands in my pockets at the shop today, so I didn't buy a new shop deck, T-shirt, and hat that i thought were dope but didn't need.

Sometimes I think I spend way too much on skate shit and then I see people spending thousands a year and I feel a little better.

IK this is just rationalizing but even if you spend a lot on skating, it's still way cheaper than a lot of other activities like snowboarding.

Yeah man I own two semi-custom multi-thousand dollars bikes, but I can justify those a lot easier than I can justify spending that much on skateboard gear.

i'll try to answer all of these

im 24 & spend maybe 2k a year on skate shit (as per my comment above). im single, so no money spent on family. also, i dont drink and don't eat out. bc im a data analyst, moneys not an issue in the first place. also being a data analyst, i work from home and only really do maybe 15-20 hours of "real" work a week, so i have a lot of time to go out and skate

why do i get 3-4 sets of wheels a year? i can tell the difference between 2-3 millimeters.
why do i skate 2 boards a month? i can tell when the grip has stopped being grippy or when a board has become soggy due to humidity, sweat or skating rough ground. its a rotten feeling to know that a trick isn't working because of your setup, i yearn for the days i could skate a board till it became disgusting and super chipped up

also i have terrible board madness. if i find a board on sale with my wheelbase from a woodshop i like, im gonna buy 4-5 boards on the spot

[Ok]

Before madness issues, and sadly I’m there, and have been, I think it’s fairly easy for me to go thru a pair of shoes and a deck, per month. And I’m trash. I basically just whittle a bunch of shitty kickflip attempts. Anyways, a deck, a pair of shoes, per month, from a shop (this is my own issue/I’m just not into buying stuff from daddies etc) is $1500+. Now I don’t end up skating that much, but I do end up on here too much looking at strangers boards and getting gassed up to go buy more shit. So yeah, I don’t think 4 sets of wheels in a year is even kinda weird.
You want to hear justifications…maybe I’m the only one, but I used to do drugs and drink. $50 on trucks, whenever I get the whim doesn’t seem that bad. It’s a problem, very many reasons, just not an ‘as bad’ kinda problem. But a symptom and all of that.

I had a set of 42s and there wasn't enough material to seat the bearings right.  After every trick I had to knock them back.  I thought my truck axle had slipped.

That's a mid nineties nostalgia that I don't miss.

Damn. If anyone likes 100a hard wheels, OJ Elite and Bones STF for under $20 is nuts. I can't speak to the Bones STF 99, but those are there too.

If I read the deal right it's 25% off of the already discounted price???

[close]

I got loaded up.  😎

[close]

Hell yeah, what did you grab?

I got a foundation deck (nineties logo),a Samarria enjoi deck, a skatewarehouse deck because it was $20 and I will give it to some random kid who needs one at the skatepark, a set of bones wheels,a set of oj wheels, and 2 sets of enjoi bearings.

I was surprised and somewhat annoyed that the boards came gripped.  Makes me feel like I have to skate them immediately.  Due to this thread I have a dozen boards in my queue for five setups.

Good to know! Probably gonna pass on these and just get some Bones 53s next

[manysnakes]

They're just Creative Urethane wheels in small diameter. If you like that, buy them. If you like good wheels, buy Spitfire or Bones.

I hadn't heard or seen anything but it definitely seems like stock is being run down to nothing and having 40% off online, 50% off and even bigger discounts in store usually means they are pretty much done.


It has been almost five years since I was all over the country for work, so never actually went into this store, but Sydney seems to have a lot more skate shops around than some other places I went to.

I couldn't imagine lockdowns and other issues would have helped any either.


Still got some really good bargains, free shipping over $200 so well worth having a look.
