Cardiel antihero egg 9.2
Bronson raws cause they were priced as G2,  hope I haven't made a mistake

Ok pals... Who's going to be "that guy"?

Honestly, I like my raws. If you’re mostly riding skateparks, they’re awesome.

Shit, my raws have been handling the crust I've been skating much better than the set of bones swiss I have

i have never had a problem with bronson

Vans Kyle Walker 2s. Might be my new favorite shoe. They look pretty crazy but they’re so comfortable.
I liked 1s way better. Where the velcro is kinda hurt my feet also I find the flick to be a little odd from what I'm used to.

Quasi 8.5 - Proto
Quasi 8.5 - Logo
Crocket Hi
Spitfire F4 - 54mm conical 99a
Spitfire F4 - 56mm classic 97a

I don't want to influence you or impart any bias before you skate it, but I'm curious how that red proto feels to you. I recently got the 8.25 and was mega stoked as I love red stain, but it felt noticeably thicker and duller than the previous quasis (8.25 purple proto, GC acidply, GTH, and 8.37 AD after death) as well as most other PS decks I've skated. I switched from venture hollows to ace 44s and for whatever reason that made it feel a lot better but not in the usual PS way. It still feels heavy and like I'm thumping the ground rather than snapping off it when I pop. I do like it now and the shape is still fantastic as always but I'm curious if its a weird batch of wood or I just got a dud or something.

@Buttfart Rapedick I just set up a 8.25 proto to skate Saturday and I didn't notice any difference. It was from the shops newest receipt of Quasi decks as well. I am also on ACE 44's, and came off of a dead sounding, soggy, month old Hockey, and as surprised the Proto sounded so snappy as I am typically used to the dead sound with ACE.

A few factors my madness has picked up on, my boards sound the most dead with new bearings on ACE. Also pure madness here, how far do you sink your hardware bolts? I have noticed that with ACE my bolts will just keep sinking and tightening but never "get tight", as opposed to Venture where they get tight and stop. I have started bringing the heads right to flush, taking out the allen key and giving another 1/4 turn from just the nut side and I swear my boards have less of a dead sound.

Nah that checks out to me with ace and bolts, and all the stuff about sound: same over here. Ace feel softer and the baseplate seem thinner, compared to venture.

About to set up those 56mm 97s, classic shape. Excited to try a bigger wheel that isn’t a conical full.

I got a board from the last Carpet drop and I think USPS has lost it. It’s been “In Transit” for almost a month.

It's just USPS at the moment. I just got some records that were mailed to me over a month ago (NYC to Philly) and am waiting on a couple boards that have been in transit for almost a month. They'll come, but they're just insanely backed up.

Stopped by the skateshop before going skating today and grabbed a surf shape. It was a total impulse buy, but I’ll eventually set it up as a skatepark board

 :-XWent crazy and got a bunch of stuff:
- Toy machine classic monster and a Primitive board (dirty P or sth like that, actually super decent graphic for Primitive standards) both 8.5
- 2 Polar t-shirts
- CF sold out in here so I had to settle with some 53mm 99 tablets
- 2 sheets of Mob
- Indy Ti149 whitout the cross on the baseplate, feels weird.

I recommend the Kalis Vulcs, managed to snap a few pairs up on discount, currently riding my 2nd pair with 2 more on ice. I have wide feet and bunions so they can be a little tight on the front but stretch out very quickly.

I always like the plain simple graphics like that, but goodness 50 mm new are such small wheels to me!

So how were the shipping time and cost - any issue?

Just curious, not judging or anything either way (but getting in before anyone says anything).

I used to get a lot of things a while back, especially when the AU dollar was better, also before I had shop account access, but nowdays everything just seems to expensive to order from overseas, as well as cracking down on import duties too.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

4th time I've ordered from parade.  I ordered these on Saturday and they got here today very quick.
With shipping and exchange rate they cost me about $58 Aussie per set.. 
Can't find 50 mm f4's in Australia...         

Judge if u like 😉

Nice!

Re judging - I know a lot of people will instantly start into the "support your LOCAL shop / industry" but as you said, you cannot get 50mm wheels anywhere in Australia right now and that actually worked out a very competitive rate.

Who was the shop they came from, given everything always comes from a shop and parade are just the facilitator?

Got the 56s for the cruiser. Also wish 52s. So far I like em. Like a dork I had two boards out, one with 56 conical fulls 99a, then these. I just like the classic shape. I skate bad, usually, on the conical fulls
