Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[BALARGUE]

I had the deck in my hands and it felt pretty solid.
Didnt pulled the trigger yet tho.
Something is holding me back.

maybe because it's bad to give money to Decathlon skateboarding and there are so many discounts at legit - and struggling - skateshops, there's almost no reason to buy from Decathlon

[roba]

i had boards and wheels, the 101 are much better than the 99 imo, of course they arent formula four but they are on par with oj elite which isnt a compliment but its still something. boards are ok, i liked them. i have also tried their fiber glass deck and they're good too. for cheap decks decathlon is better than jart for instance. and yet they're connected to skateboard, they made a great indoor park, they sponsor french riders, it's more than a lot of other brands do in europe.

yeah, it's because those other brands don't carry gear for pretty much every existing sport or form of physical activity and they also don't have dozens of stores across the entire continent

i've bought skate stuff there too but doing more than other brands is a given when one is a multi million corporation and the others are small businesses ran by like 2 people.

if you live in europe and want cheap skateboards - buy blanks from this polish manufacture called locals, they sell 3 packs for 400zł which is less than 100 euros. they also sponsor skaters, contests and run an indoor skatepark, which might be not as great as the decathlon one, but it's got more soul

website is in polish only, i recommend emailing them to make an order

Some skateboard stuff.

[moonordie]

Bought a bunch of stuff on the SkateDeluxe end of summer sale but the LRAB CM001 sizing is fucked up so I'm returning those and same goes for some pants so at the end I kept the 1010 and the Gillette's which I would have never bought in a million of years but paid 27€ for them so why not. Probably they will be my formal shoes.
Also the Poetic hoodie I got for my gf was huge hit so I'm pretty happy.

You said it right.
Almost no reason.

But geography is damn good reason.

Tell us more about the wheels. 101 and 99.

Is a great flat tbh, couldn't be happier.

[Lou Strux]

I liked my Limpies so much, I bought a pair to send to my friend 'cause he’s a daddy now & needs some cozy pants for dadding (and hopefully a little skating) in.

[Unkle Fleak]

Limpies are the sgit!

I just ordered a board. There Marbie. I’m pretty optimistic about the shape. Looking pretty close to what I need.

Ps

Through your bones ceramic shields off into a fountain and skate around till it’s dry. Ad a few drops of sewing machine oil in um and boom. Just like new lol.

I got these in 2017! lol too sick.

This Gillettes are clean.

[Kfresh]

I see the Gillettes get dumped on a lot here. But I kinda think they'd make an ok shoe for going to the bar. Kinda like the old Gravis stuff, skateable "dress" shoes.

[Unkle Fleak]

I copped this. The shape looks dope. The graphics remind me of Gumby and Pokey. Or like Peewee’s Play haus.

Maybe I can finally get a nose slider crook. I haven’t tried in like at least 3 years now. I can do nose presses now. I’m definitely not trying the layback boards. That’s like asking for a ripped hip. I don’t even think itd be possible on a skate lite hubba. You’re asking to get ice cream scooped by a nail head. That’s the only back side hubba round here.


I’m hoping this will be like the Ben Metal grasshopper. That’s probably the best board I’ve had in the last 10 years

Shit reminded me of my Kline Candybar. Which is my all-time favorite skateboard? This Marbie shape in this photo reminds me of the old Mullen shape kinda. I’m never going back to pops

Same thought plus I like the little nod to the CT-IV

[finecojeffe]

the gilettes look like they'd be waterproof, or should be

[Nth syd bear]

When I saw the dimensions of this Opera Bip eck I recognised them

I skated a quite a few of these Rudy FUBK decks glad to find this shape again
Pity about the graphic..

Send me one???

[Unkle Fleak]

Got it. I’m a little bummed that the rail ain’t more curved. Like so it’s more like a xanax shape.  Yah dig. I ain’t gonna be standing on the rail

Otherwise is dope

[moonordie]

Last shit this year, my knees are struggling a bit and I need all the help I can get.

I never had the all suede ones I really like the ones with the vinyl. Some reason they dint break fast. I miss those

[TD]

Bought some 56mm 93's, and a pair of 1010's in the black/salt white and gum colourway. Skated them both this arvo and my knees are actually in good order for once after a session. Magic.
