Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[Pasta Monster]

My Quantum Fusions just arrived. 

How are they? I’ve been on the fence for a couple months but am satisfied with the Isotopes.


Fastbreaks, Tyshawns, Thunder risers/bolts/100-duro bushings, Dickies socks

Seasons delivered faster than Prime.

[LebowskisRug]

I've got Fusions and they're indistinguishable from my Atoms. The Quantum guys said the difference should contribute to longevity and given how good my Atoms have been they'll probably last until I can't skate anymore. Fast and I never have to do shit to them.

Just got this ride on slappy flatbar from Just Rails...he doesnt have a website but takes orders through instagram. His prices are wayyyyy cheaper than blunt steel if you have ever been interested in buying one of those. He also does regular sized flatbars as well. He makes them to order so you pick your color you want too. Definitely worth hitting up if you have been wanting a rail for a fair price.

sincere question man, what do you even do with this thing. ive seen them at parks, but they're nothing compared to a curb imo & feel nothing like a flatbar

I've got a blunt steel rail I've been skating in my basement for the last several months. I use it as a way to learn new tricks and just do fun stuff on. It gets you comfortable with cross locking and I learned crooks and feebles on it. Its 4" off the ground, so you can really do any trick with very low risk of hurting yourself. Removing that fear factor makes it much easier to learn things I think.

Once I get more confident, I just throw it on a pair of cement blocks and I have myself a regular rail to skate. You can also use it like a pole jam, do up/down grinds off of things, throw it on a curb, etc.

I have some isotopes on the way after skating nothing but reds for a long time. I'm excited to see how they do.

I only had one session. They are smooth but not faster than my Bones Six Balls. I guess they take some time to break in.

[Dolphinpony]

I got these for 23.99 or something delivered.
Lightly used.
Idk I feel excited to skate them and feel like I got a steal. (Won a starting bid 10.99)

They do take some time, but absolute speed is not the reason to choose the Fusions over another bearing it's the durability of the coating. They should outlast several pairs of Bones Six

simple slip on shoes

i bought half a size down, but theyre still a bit wide

if you like a snug slip on, buy a full size down

Thanks, all of you!  From the heart.

Re: the Fusions, they do have a small break in period.  And the hard coating is something that’s never been applied to bearings (like all the other tech we’re using), so the sound is something that you’re going to notice.  Mine sound like a small jet engine coming in for a landing.

[bbk]

I was sceptical as well, but apperently you can do a lot!

I gave up fighting the temptation and just bought one from Just Rails for the same reason. Said it’ll be in the mail on Friday and I’m stoked.

I went with green. No real reason behind it, just thought it would look cool. What color do you go with? Bummer about the weather in your area. I’m fortunate to live in AZ where we have mostly sunny days regardless of time of year.

I’ll come back to this thread once it comes and I get a chance to skate it and give a mini review.

[jsettle]

Nice! I went with green also. The picture in this thread is the one he did for me. He sent me that picture of it right after he finished it up. I thought green would just look cool. Ill definately share how it skates later this weekend and hopefully get a couple decent clips on it as well

Just curious, how much did you guys pay for a little rail like that if you don't mind me asking? It's constantly snowing up where Im at and looking for something easy to lug around at the plowed parking lots around here lol

This guy (just rails) charges 150 for them. That company blunt steel who are known for these type of rails charge about 270 for the same exact thing. I havent seen anybody ese really making them that i know of.

[alraunen]

Found a bunch of EA skate stickers on a thrift app. The guy who sold them used to work for EA, they were only made as promotional material for the release of the first game.

I've never skated one, but I can imagine a cold, wet day where I drag my flat bar and one of these rails to a parking garage and have hours of fun.

[big_kev_215]

Been on a Dunk kick recently and I couldn’t resist

[fakiefs180]

I got these 94 duro aftermarket Thunder bushings in that sick teal blue ish color. Do Thunder bushings get a bit stiffer over time?

[LebowskisRug]

No. And those ones are reallllllly stiff. I couldn't turn without the wheels lifting off the ground nuts flush.

[Scottboarding]

No. And those ones are reallllllly stiff. I couldn't turn without the wheels lifting off the ground nuts flush.

I had a very similar experience. Way stiffer than the Bones hard which I believe are 96a. I’m doing stock Thunder bottom with the 94a bushing in the top and that’s been nice. Using the 94a on the top and bottom was a no go.

[Mbrimson88]

I got these 94 duro aftermarket Thunder bushings in that sick teal blue ish color. Do Thunder bushings get a bit stiffer over time?

Bushings are urethane so have two things that usually go on.

As they age, they firm up a little, as per all urethane, so from the first day of use, gentle break in period to pretty much about usual after a week or so, they will feel a bit firmer or at least bounce back, rather than stay in the same position you landed.

If they are under pressure they will compress some as well, so as the bushings are squashed, they will make the trucks feel a little more loose to some degree.


A friend recently got those exact ice blue 94 duro bushings and at first they were quite stiff and non responsive, but now after maybe a month or so, they are more responsive but don't feel quite as difficult to turn with but he did tighten down the kingpin nut about half a turn at the last session on them.


They are way stiffer than the stock bushings that came in the trucks though, even though with the same wear in period, they felt good to me, he wanted them a bit stiffer, so these work well.
