Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[TwisT]

I got an 11 1/2 on the Lakai's. They run a lil snug around what I'm gonna call the toe bridge with no sock. The tongue and toecap meet. It May not be a problem if you have narrow feet. Hopefully they have better colorways this summer.

Plus Evan Smith guest deck
52 Spit Tablets
Quantum Atom ceramic bearings

[phlap]

Threw money at some Breeeze Ceramics. I figure for £27 they're probably worth a shot.

[IUTSM]

got some sets of the Real 3ply risers. Haven't skated risers since I was a little kid and I'm frickin stoked on these things after one session. I skate loose to the point where kingpin nut is finger tight with washers on. wheel bite often tosses me when coming off curbs at 155lbs. no bite tonite!!! never thought 1/8th inch would make such a difference. no negative impact in pop or landing either

Skating an old Anti-hero I've had it in the backlog in this shape and finally enjoying it (the WB always felt too tight before); note they both actually measures 31.5 and is somewhere between 8.25 and 8.28 (typical of DLX these days)

To get myself down to a smaller WB, I took the slow approach, over the last couple of months I've gradually switched to using tight WB trucks (indy/Tensor/ML) on old decks I've had lying around, 14.25" WB, then down to 14.18", now 14.12" (there was a 14" WB I jumped straight to and didn't like it); I would switch the board up each week to downsize (for the most part they were all generally the same shape and dimensions).

My hope is to get down to a 14" WB when the TiMindys drop.

You'll also note that the Roman Numerals are gone:



Oddly, the last 3 decks I've ordered (3 different companies and woodshops) all came with an orange top ply, which I've always been fond of.

I got 2 of the mason deck. One of them had the roman numerals and measured 8.28 with 14.12WB, and the other had no roman numerals and measured 8.25 with 14.25WB . Weird, sold the one with no roman numeral stamp on ebay

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.

Have I hurt you before?😭


And to the person taht asked; It was 8.38 one had green stain the other had no stain.

I am glad, personally, that your boards sucked. What an asshole.

I bought the same board and mine has the roman numeral.

Skate stock. Wall ones are packed away with the ones from the first PS series. This Evan Smith shape is just a pleasure to skate. I really don't understand why every woodshop doesn't have a truly mellow mold in terms of both concave and kicks. Making the tail less steep makes a deck so much easier to get off the ground and it really doesn't take that much away in terms of pop. PS has it down to a science (no pun intended) and everyone I know that's tried this shape loves it.

Your boy pressing any bigger boards yet?

Not in the PS ones, biggest I've seen of those are 8.5. Pennswood runs usually have some 8.75. I have an 8.75 logo deck that I bought solely because it was black stain/gold logo. I've tried to skate it a few times but between it being a half inch wider than I'm used to and having a 14" wb it just feels totally alien to me haha.





Got my prize fighter wheels the other day and the fine gentleman that runs it must have known about my DOA worship because he tossed in an extremely cool sticker. I took that (and the colors matching) as a sign and set them up on one of my favorite setups, an 8.12 DOA "flat as fuck" toe tag with cherry red top and bottom plys. I think it might be the best looking deck I own and it's a particularly mellow one (even for an e mold/flat as fuck) so I baby it and only skate it when I feel like treating myself. Love this setup.

[cosmicgypsies]

was on Thunders for 3/4 years, Indy's for a year, went for another switch up mostly because my friends Indy's are fucking jacked whereas mine are still in relatively okay condition so I used that as an excuse to order a set of Ventures for myself and give him my Indy's.

I've been skating the Schaaf for a while and it goes. Such a good shape.

Good to read that, just out together that Schaaf. Can't wait for tomorrow.

[Dwyck]

Bought one of these antihero shirts even though I stopped skating their boards after kanfoush wallied a bum Got a baker board that I'll post whenever I set it up, it's the 8.5, 14.5 32 OG shape w mellow concave and it is virtually identical to the alltimers board I'm skating right now, also BBS. I've probably skated this shape or something very close to it from four or five different brands at this point. Just funny because chances are it originated from antihero anyway

56mm for the crust setup

56mm for the crust setup

That is the first set of those I have seen anywhere (other than the stock / catalog pics).

They already seem to be in very short supply, according to a few others I have talked to.

like selling out before they even hit shelves? Or just didn’t make that many?

A bit of both - something along the lines of "demand exceeded production in unprecedented levels" for all DLX hardgoods, so I guess more people want them than ever, but they are still trying to catch up from covid issues.


I still haven't heard if those other 97s in the info are just the normal Classic or OG classic though...

Not a worry to me either way, but I know people would love a 97 OG classic!

interesting. Hopefully they adjust their production/orders in the near future if they see the demand for 97a. I’m loving my 97a 54mm classics.  I’d like to try the 56mm and I think I’d rather have the conical full over og classics. Either way though, I’d take either

asked for the shipment date a week ahead, figured they would be gone immediately.

was the only set they had (left?) in the glass. couldve been more in the back but i wouldnt bet on it

[Shifty Flip]

Setting up the skate shop and forgot I bought 3 ply risers too. Did the "less plastic - better feel" on the label. Also " Designed to fit Thunder Baseplates" ACEs seem to be 1/16-1/32 of set. Wish I had 57 97as right now too with the added height.

So yeah, this is the Large mystery box from Magenta. Everything here is XL.
The reg price on this is 150 euro. (175ish US) but Magenta sent out a discount code about a month ago and I used that, 20% off, bringing it down to 125 Euro (147ish US). I also bought an 8.875 board and some 53mm wheels to make the shipping a bit more worth it. Here's what I got:



2 XL SS tees (the ash and green - 35 euro each, so 70 euro)
1 XL LS tee (white - 50 euro)
1 XL Crew Neck (red - 75 euro)
1 XL coaches jacket (115 euro)
key chain (10 euro)
sticker pack (15 euro)
patch pack (25 euro)
DVD (13 euro)
Coin/Weed purse (this style not on their site)

As you can see, that is roughly 375 euro worth of product...not fucking bad...would def do it again. Big fan of Soy and Magenta.
