Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[bigdave]

I hate my OCD so much.
Just bought some 55mm Dial Tone wheels and some random magenta clothes and zines and stuff from TOA so I could get the free shipping. Why does my OCD matter? I am trying to find the sweet spot in wheel size again where I can run no risers, (and definitely no rails) on my singular setup that I do everything on. Gonna have to get ceramic bearings too. The biggest thing I skate is a 5' bowl on a regular basis but I want no excuses for losing speed.

More PScumcos. Got all of then although I need another nicholson to have a full wall set since I set that one up. If anyone wants a full nerd writeup on any of them let me know. Quick summary of these two, this is from memory so might be slightly off

8.37 Epsom salts - long as fuck, like 32.5 tip to tip. I'd call it a medium mold with a med-mellow tail and med nose.. seems to be the same as the skee skate one

8.37 Ty Beall - not deep and steep like Beall decks usually seem to be, this one's also medium but a bit mellower. Really good shape, might skate it some day.

Those who look at the setup thread may recall that I recently started skating an 8.25 Evan Smith scumco guest board and I have to say that it's hands down one of the best decks I've ever tried. It's got a mellow square tail that is easy to pop and amazing and a big but mellow squaround nose (kinda like a quasi) that keeps flip tricks under control and easy to flick. It's pretty close to my ideal shape and dimensions. I've bought 3 more since I started skating it.. Definitely hoarding these jawns.

HIGHLY recommend it to older dudes and people who like mellower shapes. The 8.25 was really hard to find at first but they're trickling into more shops now... I know FA Skates and library skate shop have a couple.

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?

Were these available only in shop?

No they were online as well. I bought mine online then just picked up in store.

First purchase since December, I wanted to spend less money since I was on a rampage lately.
These ones were cheap so why not?

Quality is crap tho.

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.

[close]

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.

[close]

That is so fucking cool

Damn, that's a long time dream of mine. Do you have to cover it every time? In the Midwest, that'd be weathered so quickly.

[TastyBurrito]

Picked up a SeaRat 10” to fuck around on all things curb related.

Thanks man. I live in Southern California. We've actually had a lot of rain in the last two weeks since I got it, so it's been completely tarped. It takes  40x20 tarp to get it over the railings, but it fits into a Rubbermaid chest and out of the way. Forecast looks good for the next two weeks so I took it off yesterday and have been skating it. Had a fun sesh with my friend tonight. I am still learning proper transition skating but its coming quickly having my own ramp.

Where did you grab one from? I’d love to have a couple for the wall but totally sold out everywhere I look and I refuse to pay resale.

[manysnakes]

I found an Antihero Cardiel compete with some loved but skateboard Reynolds 149s for $30 at the Goodwill. I took it apart, cleaned and removed a ton of rust from the trucks, tapped all the threads, replaced all the bolts, and reassembled. Also salvaged some Bones Reds bearings, but the well worn deck and wheels were left at the skatepark for a local grom

I got mine on baker's site when they restocked. Searched just now and looks like skatewarehouse has the reynolds one for now.

8.0s.
You must have gotten the decks from the latest batch. RG said the only 14wb decks they had were are the 8.0s from the previous clutch order, of which he had these 4 left.  Can you tell which shop your decks are from? i dont think he wants to source from multiple places but had to due to covid

artform delivery just came in. the pants were an immediate hit but my hatred for anything close to khaki never left me. overdyed the shorts metacamo™ to "blend in" better with my 97% black wardrobe

I have been struggling to find a pair of shorts i like the fit of and those look super solid. I'm 6'6 so that length would probably work well for me. What were the exact measurements? I always thought the artforms were super baggy.

Those look wicked nice, I got some cargo pants from them today. I love them but I should of sized down. They seem like great quality especially for the price.
 I also ordered a 8" polar deck, pretty excited about that.

[hobochimp]

got some sets of Real 3ply risers coming in, both universal and venture. haven't skated risers since I was a little kid and I'm at a point where my balance isn't strong enough to ride my trucks as loose as I like them without board stopping wheel bite. hopefully they're good

I love them. They definitely don’t feel like you have risers on if that makes sense

why do the krroked $40 decks with eyeballs all over print suck so much?

The shape is good but it just feels so hollow. I bought 2, the first one lost pop so quick, im sure the 2nd will as well.
