Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[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 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

[close]

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.

Seriously considering a rail like this for all the reasons mentioned above.

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.

Hell ya! Mine shows up tomorrow but we have some shitty weather so probably wont get skated till the wknd. The jult rails dude is awesome and easy to order from. What color did you do for yours?

[close]

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 was looking at the square one they make that is low. Let us know how you guys like yours!!

[close]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I was joking about it in the sale gear thread but I actually just bought 6 pairs from the junkyard sale(50% off + 3 for 2). Goddamn. I'm always thinking I should probably settle for some shoes I know that work for me, but I never buy the same shoe. Never had problems getting used to a new shoe though.

This time I'm trying:
Etnies josl1n
Emerica dickson
Vans rowan
Vans lizzie
Half cabs (Had some a few years ago)
Last resort vm003

Thank god there wasn't a truck/wheel sale. At least I'm actually gonna use all these shoes

Some Habitat Twin Tip decks, long dims but twice the deck longevity (maybe)

Finally got to skate it today after all the ice melted outside. This thing is very fun. If you aren't used to round flat bars like me, it could be weird at first but starts to feel comfortable thee more you grind it. I can tell its going to be fun trying alot of new tricks on it. The quality of this thing is awesome. I say get one if you are even thinking about it. Well worth the 150 bucks

Passport 8in deck. 17th time I had this shape. Got the Powell dragon wheels for my cruiser, 56mm. Jesusp grip. And a pair of

Found these online used for a reasonable price.







You can bet your bottom dollar I'm doing some new boot goofin' for the foreseeable future

I have those somewhere! The insole's slippery as fuck.

[MOE SYZLAK]

I honestly don’t know… it was on sale, it was an 8 inch BBS board which are my jam. I loved the Terminator movies as a kid.. Tiago rules…It’s seems a little to flat for my liking but still might give it a go later.

Kyle Wilson 54mm Conical Full. First time on (non-cruiser) colored wheels ever.

It's funny you mention that. I wore them for the first time yesterday and ended up having to peel the cat graphic off of the insole.  The good thing was that it peeled off super easy.

Passport denim jacket I got to wear on a date with this roller skater girl, a couple pairs of workers pants, and a t-shirt. IMO Passport seems to put out the best gear out of any skate company

Beyoderful, all we need is a Ipath Cats reissue with Slap and we'll blow our collective loads.

I like that early era of Adidas, they had some good looking vulc shoes like the Busenitz.
