Spoiling myself for my birthday and also trying to quit drinking so if I spend all my money on skate shit I can't drink booze!

Ordered a pair of 99d Formula Four Conical Full Spitfires in 56 mm and Swiss Six Bones bearings.

Then today I drove an hour out of town while the kids were at school today to pick up some Powell Dragon derps in 56mm and some Bones Big Balls from a nice core shop I'd never been to. They have a local legend from my town's board hanging up and pics of him on the wall. Was stoked to support them! Almost balances out the 2 pairs of Adidas I got for $150 CAD from the Zumiez buy one get one 50% off sale... Another splurge. I am broke as shit now haha. See yall in the regrets thread later.

Just impluse bought a set of Indy 144 Forged Hollow Slayer trucks. I greatly prefer Thunder and don’t like painted trucks but Reign in Blood is my favorite album of all time so I’m going to see how long I can force myself to ride them.

I too love Slayer although I'd argue Show No Mercy is my favorite ablum- the Slayer Indy's and Mob grip is a knockout favorite of military/right wing bros that skate so I just couldn't do it.

Show No Mercy is great too! I saw them at their farewell tour and they played Evil Has No Boundaries for the first time since 2000 which was super cool.

the Slayer Indy's and Mob grip is a knockout favorite of military/right wing bros that skate so I just couldn't do it.
That was part of the reason I held back for so long. I generally skate alone but for the times I end up at a park I'll probably feel a bit weird because I definitely don't want to come off like that.

Volcom had a sale when I needed some “nicer” shirts. Grabbed some modown relaxed fit jeans too. Spent around $125 for the entire haul (not counting the deck). 8.4 GT because I’m sizing up.

So the simple shoes seem like they’ll fall apart after one session? Also how’s the fit? Narrow?

They’re actually pretty wide, so far pretty comfortable out of the box. I’ve skated them just on flat for 2 short sessions and they feel ok, the sole is definitely thicker than my usual skate shoes and super grippy so that’s taking some time to adjust to. I’ve been posting in the simple shoes thread so will probably update after I have some heavier skating in them

David Gravette Creature 8.35, 32 long, with a 14.5 wb, and an ugly tentacle monster graphic. Looks like an end boss from an arcade shoot em up.

Digging it going down from an 8.5. 149 indys still feel good on it. The tail feels super steep to me but in a good way compared to my mushy old consolidated board lol. Haven't had a new deck in a long while and for $110 CAD at the local shop, I remember why. It's not even like I'm that core of a skater I just can't buy a deck sight unseen online without really scoping out the shape. Would it be a safe bet to blindly buy any NHS or at least Creature deck from 8.35 to 8.5 in the future if I'm enjoying this shape?





The Gravette 8.3 is always the same...the other 8.3s out of creature/SC are not the same; same goes for the 8.5s as they have two in rotation.

Flight 8.75 venture hollows and tons of discounted stf 53s.  Also got the dragons 52s which you've all hashed out urselves by now and don't need to be swayed.  I'm happy they are selling so's that I can have more to buy in the future.  My attitude with bones is G man came up with the concept and reality of premium formula and if he did not you wouldn't have your F4s.  I have to support him based on that he fuckin bothered, ya know.  Also the "burn with the cool smoker dudes" has always insulted me slightly.   On a side note, does any one remember the wheel company that predated Spits?  B4 it was Spitfire it had another name and the ads/art definitely was undeniably cool tbf. They did half page ads in Kev thatcher Thrasher and had a logo which eventually morphed into the spinny thing Spit has. (not the dumb head tho).

Pre 1987 might be a tall order, but someone here could find it.  Not me, even though I was skating then, I had no idea and don't collect magazines or things from back then.

If you had time, I recall Thrasher was putting up all their old mags in an online archive, or at least saw them all online a while back, had a quick scroll through some but didn't really take much time with them.


The swirl is so much better than the big head too.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

  Right on, I remember it having a 1930s or 40s SF vibe to the art.  It really struck me at the time.  (Edit yah not pre 87 I don't think)

Grabbed a few sets of F4 Classics on sale.

Those 55 mm F4 classics have served me well for the past six or seven months.  Once they hit about 52 mm’s they’re the perfect shape - some sort of conical/radial hybrid.

I picked up some 55 hollows a couple weeks ago and threw em on a Polar 8.5”. I think you’ll dig it, I’ve been rotating that with a Manderson with af1 44s as my daily drivers

Polar makes some good shapes for sure
