New local brand "Argo"
BBS wood, standard medium concave
They have a graphic board which looks pretty sick, but I really like the stain color of this

Looks great. What are the dimensions?

This one is 8.25x31.75 with a 14wb.

Just got this Blockhead Streetstyle reissue. One of the first street shapes ever made. Been after one for a while and jumped on it when they came back up.  Flat as a tack, normal tail & wheelbase length but with a shorter nose.  Got some Pink 80s Rib Bones ready to go on it.

Dimensions: 9.125 x 30.125”, 15.5” wheelbase, 6.625 tail, 4.25” nose (longer because of modern hole pattern)

Picked up a set of Venture 6.1s I had a set before but I think I had them on the wrong deck. 

This time around I had them on an 8.5 Almost deck with a 14.25wb and I had a great weekend of skating. 

Just ordered a set of 5.6 hollow to try on an 8” deck with a 14wb.

Been going on a spending spree. Bought this Isle board online and actually got a different one than the one I ordered - that's online shopping for you. But I'm still hyped on it, nice shape and dimensions that aren't different from the initial board I wanted. And it's Generator wood which I don't even think I've skated before.

Three new pairs of shoes as well - Supra Elevates that I got for a good deal on eBay. Also the Mike Arnold Copa Nationales and the Lakai Carrolls, both these shoes are butter and not bulky at all like I was worried about. Tried both on and they feel fantastic. Going to be a good time next year when the snow melts, even though I've got about three older pairs of shoes to skate/kill beforehand.

got this for the wall because I like the film, but I kinda want to skate it.  does anyone know if Hockey keeps this graphic in the rotation regularly?
This one come back from time to time I think this is the 3rd drop of these in 2 or 3 years.

Bought these two in a bundle, 100 euros total including shipping. My verdict is Polar knows how to make comfortable skate pants that look great off and on the board.

They’re awesome boards. Nice nose and tail easier to find short wheelbase and bbs wood. Can’t be beat

Where did you order from? I don’t want to shop at a place that sends the wrong deck.

What's the length?

Can you post a top and side Pic? I've had that deck in my cart for like two months but I'm kind of hesitant because someone said it's the same as the polar 8.25 shape which I have and don't like. I don't know if I got a top stack one or they're all like this, but the tail is really steep even for BBS (steeper than any of the 6 or so hockey/fa boards I've skated. Nose is great but I just ghost pop all over the place unless I skate it on venture lows or mini logos.

Just pulled the trigger on these bmx vans. Never skated a toe cap or high top so it’s gonna be a few firsts. But it’s a waffle cup and duracap so for $50 why not.

don’t the skate pros with waffle cup usually have a gum sole? Haven’t seen that all white

They’re pretty lightweight. I wore my first pair for a a couple weeks trying to break them in. They were pretty stiff and didn’t really stretch. After the first wash they softened up and are a lot more comfortable

Was in Kansas picking up my dog, had to get shit from Walmart and stumbled onto a Hopps tech deck, but low and behold ..
behind that was a Ricky O.

Drive home, my son was all "Dad can I do some grinds on that?"
And I said "Do you even Eastern Exposure, bro?" which just led to confusion and disappointment for him.
But no, you can't grind on my Ricky O brah!

Damn I've been looking at those Huf pants way too long. Is that the black colorway? How does the size fit? I'm a w30 on Dickies 874s don't know if I should go for the 30s or size up just in case.

I was working outside of Louisville again and made my way back to home. I talked to them for like an hour about hardcore and skating and I had to get a little something for the whole family.

Well I have like 9 Andy Anderson dated flight decks.

For real. Did not expect to see that at all. Placed it delicately by my Mullen and Sean Sheffey ones

Stopped past a local (not my local, but a local) on my way home as they are the only ones in 25 miles that had Bones Swiss in stock at the moment. Grabbed those and got lured into another set of ACE 44’s.

My brain “it’s gonna be different this time, they’re going to work perfect and you’re going to love them. Just like every other time you’ve ridden them for 4 session and went back to venture”

Have Ace 3 chances and no... Then I went back to my Ventures until I reached the axle and then came back home to Indy.

I also just ordered some 44s. I like Ventures, but I also fuck with them to make them turn better, so I'm hoping Aces will be a good out of the box experience, or that the cool factor will be enough to make me not care.

Also grabbed some authentics for chilling and carhartt double knees for the winter. The pants still feel like I'm wearing 2x4s, but hopefully they'll soften up quickly with how often I fall.
