Black Friday Splurge:
Emerica Gamma White (totally NOT white, BTW, more of a taupe or creamy beige)
F4 Connies 99/54
Venti standard/plain 6.1
I don’t know why I bought the Ventures. I don’t even ride, let alone actually like Ventures! Buuut, they’re in a width I like, and they were only $19.98 for the pair, shipped, so I’d have to be a ding dong to pass up such a deal. I guess I wound up jumping on the Venture train after all. SMH.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Ok

Can confirm, this board is great. The shape is perfect. In fact, I just bought 2 more after the first session on this because it felt so good.

Dang this looks good. With the small trucks too. Very nice.
What wood shop for the chico stix?

Ben Raemers Foundation  - Cons One Star mids. Bought online so have absolutely no idea about fit but hopefully they work out.

Spanky g6 in green. Emerica Black Friday sale... should have bought more!

It's been awhile since I have had a pair of Emericas. I think my last pair was Ed's shoe, Transist. Maybe over 15 years ago

I haven't really messed with Real decks since I've been back in the loop but setting up this as a Christmas complete for my brother...sure seems nice...might have to find an 8.5 FullSE eventually.

Got some Riptides and so far not hugely different, but no squeaks.
Pivot Cups or Bushings?
I haven't tried them yet but I think the pivot cups are what indy should have shipped their trucks with from what I hear on the interwebs. Alot of guys say the squeaking goes away + maybe a little smoother turning.

Interested to hear what you think of them.

Others like @rocklobster is skating one now too.

Might be awhile before I start skating them but I'll definitely let y'all know. After I ordered I asked about more specific dimensions for the 8.5 and this is what he gave me:
8.5x31.875" WB: 14.25" N: 7" T: 6.5"

Looks like you had reply lag as well.

Happened to me a few times, so I thought I had posted, came up with an error, often something like "unable to connect to server" but it actually posted the message multiple times over.

You can always delete the other messages easily enough.

Not a worry either way.


That shape and size is pretty much what people are wanting too, so shorter boards are becoming the standard size nowdays, it would seem.

I am still more stoked on bigger and longer boards, but that is just me, so I am not worried either way, but these seem like they should be good for people, from what others have said too.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Wood grain, additional $1 per deck but only available if you chat with them and order on email.

I'm liking the 8.25 I got, a little shorter than I would like but I'm off Ventures for a bit so they are nice. Stomped a Hardflip and definitely felt the flex in the tail, everyone nearby thought it was cracked for sure but nothing so far. Think of it like a shorter Habitat / AWS in terms of kick fullness with a slightly steeper concave, and short.

Great value for the price IMO, but I believe they are flooded with orders for customs.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO
STANDARD - 1.88” - 47.75mm
FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

5.0 ,5.2, 5.6, 5.8 & 6.1 HI
STANDARD - 2.09” - 53.09mm
FORGED - 2.04” - 51.82m

Just got the state fred gall shoes. Seems really low quality but I just wanted them because of freddy. Gonna use them for work.
And also my first pair of krux DLK kingpins, pushing the truck madness to the next level!

Edit: The size on these shoes is extremely off. No matter the company, I can always wear US 8.5 without problem, but these are huge for some reason. They're just too long

8.3 Hjalte deck with wheel wells. The wheel wells and the shape really got me.

I was riding an 8.5 with WW a while back. I felt that it enabled me to skate slightly sloppier than my lazy ass usually skates. Ate less shit in parking lots due to less wheel bite  ;)

That's what I am hoping for. Also that Thunders + wheel wells = perfect match

Got all stoked on Tiago and bought some Indy Mids with his name on them.  Put some 94a top bushings in there and to my shock, they are insanely good and I quite like them for almost anything I can presently do on a skateboard.  If I want a light truck that I can flip around, I know where the Thunders are.  Meantime, I like how they're definitely Indys, but still feel unlike anything else.  Probably going to huff some gas and buy some Royals later at the rate I'm going, but what the fuck.

A year and a half after getting sucked down the ACE rabbit hole I’m back to skating Thunders. Swapping over across the board(pun slightly intended). Ive never skated a set of “light” trucks in my life and I’m coming up on 24 years of skating in a few months
