Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[michael scarn]

I got a pair of the re released Telfords for the summer so i can skate in shorts without ankle bite. They're lookin really good imo. I'm personally stoked to try them with the xlk sole.

[IanBZHD]

Bought the eS Silo SC and Quattro. Both have the same "SC" sole.
First run of Quattro re release said go 0.5 size up. I got the Black/White, which was from the second drop of this model. I went with 0.5 up and I'm glad I did, even though eS doesn't list it on their site for the two NEW colors to go 0.5 up.

My impression for this new SC (Special Concept) sole at the moment is to go 0.5 up UNLESS eS discloses that they've changed the way the last fits going forward. Similar to how NB# shared that X models from Y year onward are now TTS, etc.

I haven't skated either shoes yet but they feel solid on foot. Fairly flexible but not a super thin sole. A good middle ground. Hoping that translates to when I skate em!

May post photos later if anyone wants to see em.

Enjoy, I've loving my pair of Quattros. One of the best soles I've ever skated for boardfeel/grip.
Been skating them for 3 months I think at this point and I have no complaints.

no name bearing press. sooo satisfying to remove bearings easily.

Been loving the krooked board I got lately so I stocked up on some and a toy machine for old times sake also got some spits f4s 99d conicals and classics



I put on my first pair of f4 97d anyone know the difference between 97d and 99d?

Is that Toy Machine BBS wood?  Eg feels the same in concave as the DLX boards (Krooked, etc) or does it have anything stamped / laser etched in the top?

Re wheels - 97 are grippier and a fraction softer than 99 in durometer.

Toy have been one of the brands that seemed to get wood from anywhere during covid, which is why I asked.  Interesting all the same.

Also just checking, those Spitfires were both 99 from the packaging in the pic with the decks, so did you have some others that were 97 or something else?

There should be all the details on the inside ring of the wheel on the side with the swirl graphic, including the words Spitfire formula four classic 54mm 99duro or whatever it says.

Yea I brought 3 pairs of spitfires. 2 were 99d and 1 set 97d I was kinda excited to try them so I set them up at the shop

Then you can really see any differences, even if you only ride one setup.

I have a couple of setups the same, just different hardness wheels, so I skate the one set of 97s on the rough ground, or really slippery surfaces, then the normal 99 for everything else.

Gotta love Seasons.  Got this Hopps board in an 8 on their website.

[Peepeeboy69]

I bought a pair of Lynx OG for ~$35, i like them now very much. For some reason give me so much confidence to skate much faster and try whatever. Doesn't feel as chunky as they look, actually can feel my board just fine (but i usually skate pretty beefy shoes like etnies marana)

the issue is i do not own baggy enough of a pant to look cool wearing them which is totally fine because i skate in the middle of nowhere by myself most of the time, and with warmer weather approaching i will have very sweaty feet

I got drunk Saturday and called kinetic on the phone and harassed the poor kid working there. I bought a bunch of shit without knowing what any of it looks like so when it gets here I'll be surprised. I also bought a board and a shirt from nj skateshop.

If anyone was curious of what I bought when I drunk dialed kinetic and made the whoever answered the phone describe everything in the store to me:

I bought a kinetic hat that looks like the 76ers logo.
I bought another kinetic hat that looks like the 76ers logo in another color
I bought a blue kinetic beanie
I bought a hoodie that looks like the Dead Kennedy's fresh fruit for rotting vegetables record in medium (I'm a large)
I bought a kinetic shirt with a grim reaper on it that I must have loved the description the employee gave me so much that I bought two of the exact same colorway in the exact same size, I guess in case I spill food or something all over one I have another.
Some 5.8 ventures (Honestly good looking out kinetic employee, I was not paying attention to anything I was ordering so he must of confirmed the size I needed)
Some reds.

It was a lovely silly surprise when it arrived at my door. Honestly, when I opened it i just saw the one t shirt and then another of the exact same tshirt underneath it so I thought I just bought a couple hundred bucks of the same exact shirt over and over again and it was just a box of identical shirts. I'm happier that wasn't the case but I wouldn't be super mad if that did happen because I thought it was hilarious.

Aside from this and the board and shop shirt from NJ Skateshop, I bought a sheet of jessup, some bolts, 58mm F4 OJ Classics Spitfires and an iPath preview summer 2005 sweatshirt from Seasons in Albany.

[Urtripping]

Bought a t-shirt from my local's spring drop. I think the graphic is an homage to an early board graphic, but I'm not sure... anyone know?

Picked up my Nocturnal "Greetings from Philly"  deck yesterday. Size 8. Not sure what wood it's on but I saw in one of their previous posts on IG said their shop decks were from a new Chapman woodshop?

[tom]

The last Half Cabs I had were the Syndicate Cab Lites in 2013. Last actual Half Cabs I had were either in 2005/2006. They feel great, but the collar sits right at the bottom of a screw head I have in my fibula. I hope they break in enough for it to not be noticeable. Worst case scenario is that I’ll try and trim the padding down a little bit

[bigdave]

Ugh I am kind of embarrassed to post my consumerism here....

3.5x12 Keen Mini ramp. Weather-coated birch, capped back, railings.
Keen slappy pad/box
Keen banked bar

Hardgoods:

Just in the last few days I bought CODA ConcGod x2 9" decks, a CODA shirt and a dad hat.

Magenta sent me a 20% off thing.....so I bought a large mystery box of clothes/accessories, 8.8" deck, and 53mm wheels.

Other bits, the stuff necessary to turn one of my natas boards into a complete (Ace 66s, Spit classic 58s, G3s)
Upgraded my vans to the new skate ones, but that might have been a mistake...sooooo stiff.

idk. I need to stop spending money. Until Spring Polar drops.

post up those decks! Curious to see shapes of the 9”  and 8.8”

Good point about polar spring.. they’ve teased on IG right? When does that usually drop at skate shops?

I am on a CODA 9" now and fucking love the shape, thats why I wanted two more immediately in case they go out. The nose and tail arent as full as say, a polar 9" but I really like the concave and the wheelbase is slightly longer at 14.75. (compared to polars 14.5) I have no idea what to expected with the Magenta. I just really like the brand so I thought eh fuck it.

I’ve had a keen mini for a year. It’s been good. Impact drill and a friend make the assembly go easier. I wish I had more space or a garage. I’d go full backyard park easily.

I hear you. My son and I built our last very shitty 2x7 ramp together, well 50% of it we built together.
Honestly I didnt wanna fuck around this time. I had Cory and his team come install it.

so sick man.

have this on the wall
blue tile has the best shapes

[close]

damn those shapes are mad sexy. anyone know the woodshop?

[close]

I read somewhere here that they are bbs.  It was someone mentioning blue tile and nine times as Canadian shop decks by bbs.  I’ve eyed them up, but no personal experience yet.

No idea who presses it. I really like the shape though and it feels nice concave wise. I’m just getting back into skating so I don’t have the experience that most have here when it comes to who pressed it and those details. But been skating around a bit recently now that it’s nice again and it feels solid.

ayeeee. I hope they work out. I recently traded a Pal (good lookin out ArtHellman) a pair of NB440 hi, for some half cabs that had been ollied in a couple times and he threw in a pair of brand new AVEs. I'm stoked to be back in half cabs for the first time in over a decade. Feeling super comfy, especially with the SB insole he included. I'm still not able to skate much, but I went out and did some no complies and stalls, and after wearing only cupsole for the past few months I've been back in skating, I'm definitely understanding the board feel I was missing out on... hooray for half cabs 

I first bought shoes off ArtHellman 15 or so years ag when he sold me multiple pairs of rare/expensive Dunks for cost because I wanted to skate them. He has consistently been the shoe sale/trade MVP of the message boards

[bigdave]

It's pretty rad but honestly havent skated it a ton but if you want to sharpen up your slappies its pretty rad. I think what I like best about it as its a 3-in-1 obstacle where really any side part of it can be hella fun. I also cant FS slappy for shit and I think itll help me. Just know while it has the handgrips and they shortened it from 6' to 5', it is really heavy and cumbersome, I use a hand truck to get it around to the parking lot across the street. The coping is fast and it feels bulletproof overall.

[munchbox]

artform had a sale and im always down for new bottoms that are long enough in the sizing chart

ripstop pro cargo pants in black
pro cargo shorts in chocolate chip camo

gonna make it a goal to skate in more shorts this spring/summer, forcing me to commit and slam properly or fillet my legs. we shall see

[Boog]

Got a 8.25 full se Jake Donnelly praying fingers deck and some orange Spanky f4s neckface graphic. Also the black and green leather liberty cup.
