I'm surprised Birdhouse hasn't gone down the re-issue route more heavily.

I would take a 2nd mortgage to get my hands on some Kirchart, Willy Santos, Suski and Barley graphic re-issues.

Don't forget those delightful Lasek graphics my man

They don’t do re-issues, but they have done plenty of homages. Jaws has one out now. Willy santos releases some older graphics under his workshop brand

didnt they just released a couple tony hawk re-issues? i find the homages of older graphics slapped with a different persons name to be meh.
that "jaws" video where he does that 25 stair in france, the one that ali boulala tried, where he got his protective gear and his dad cheering for him at the bottom of the stairs really did not sit well with me. it felt so corny. whenever i see his name, that's all i think about. i think fred mortagne was telling ali that "jaws" had the protective gear and ali said the only thing he had when tried it was a hangover.

My wife thinks half cabs are ugly but with my current pair she said that they don't look as bad as she remembers but they're still pretty dumb looking so I bought her a pair in her size. Just regular black classic half cabs, the same as mine.

I also bought a pair of 55mm oj mini super juices because I want to try and skate on frozen dirt spots I've been eyeing up since it's winter.

scumco 8.5/31.5/14.0 from @ballintoohard
venture forged plates from @tzhangdox
riptide pivot cups

still in love with my dane1 setup but im itching to learn some basic ledge tricks and i need more nose to be consistent.

last time on a 14" wheelbase, i found that less distance from my front foot to the nose makes pop brainless, almost felt like cheating outside of the board being half an inch too thin. this sort of ease is exactly what i want to give complete focus to the ledge.

good width + short length + short wb = perfect?

the forged plates and raw 5.6 hangers should push the wheels out to a comfortable 17.5, so slipping out should be a non-issue. all i can do is speculate anxiously until everything arrives and is set up

[rocklobster]

Bones STF 54mm V3, the TJ Rogers model. Wanted to give the V3 another try in a bigger size, 52mm were on asphalt was bone jarring. Not a fan of graphic wheels TJ had a great 2020, happy to ride his stuff. No Blind boards yet though.

Some saint on Depop had this for sale!

[Peepeeboy69]

I bought two chapman blanks, one of which i wanted to set up for my girlfriend but it looks like she actually would rather rollerblade so whatever

I had a politic that delaminated down one side literally the first week I had it. Literally 2 days after the blanks got to my house I broke the nose doing a fs shuv on flat

really like how the chapman is skating. The nose looked smaller to me but to be honest I quite like it. I notice I do my kickflips better when popping off the nose anyways so maybe a smaller nose would actually help me.

I got pink and brown, which aren't my favorite colors but oh well

[lazer69]

Krooked board the, $40 ones. My friend keeps buying them. They had em in a size i like, so i bought. Feels like poop. They chip easy. Looks like I possibly already have cracks underneath the griptape on the nose.Been skating it for a week. The next nollie pop shuv I pop and dont land bolts im snaping it. Gotta avoid trick that I can pop high and dont always land bolts. Which suck bc I like those

[Ok]

In your mind, how long should a board last?

I don’t break boards. Only rotate stuff, so I have decks that are years old. Anyways, for me, if I get to skate the board 4 times, that feels like cutoff. 2 months of everyday skating seems like a really really long time to me.

[Acky Jacky]

This Fairdale rack for my bike. Also the Orchard deck is a pretty recent purchase. Stoked on both.

[Easy Slider]

After lubing my bearings yesterday I was not able to attach one wheel because the axle thread was defect. So I ordered the Independent skate tool with axle rethreader and a few axle nuts. Stuff arrived today and the rethreader works a treat (or should I say thread haha). Anyway stoked I was able to get this delivered quickly and the tool is great even if quite costly. Now if only the rain would stop so I could skate

Still blows my mind that people waste money on G3s

Found a pair of New Balance 868s to add to the collection for $50.

I tried that but it's a pain to cut them sheet by sheet, went with a box of pre-cut instead.

When the 868 was live in production, I liked them but they felt way too tech and bulky for me so I never tried, but now....oh I would have loved those/would love them now! I have some 1010s that I chill in (until they break in) and just know that the 868 would have been a dream if I gave them a shot.

Good score!!

I've seen them on sale for about 20 bucks. Definitely worth that price.

I looked at that option but it’s twice as much.

Using Amazon for reference
9" x 60' roll = $62.90, giving around 21 33" sheets, $2.99 a sheet
9" x 33" sheet x 20 per box = $65.16, $3.26 a sheet

I go through a lot of griptape so the $0.25 was worth the convenience

Thanks for pointing out my exaggeration.
I bought the 11” roll and didn’t see it in the precut sheets. No biggie. I can measure and cut without complaining.
