Having such a good time on The Bobby's TT the last couple days, I had to order another one from the friendly folks at Orchard. This one is going to have Thunder 148s

Just paid to hold ishods 8.25. been having tricky finding one in stock in this area. Trying to prepay for Bobby TT slick or regs. Funny when you know without even physically seeing that things are perfect fit

Impulse ordered a dane 1 while drunk from tactics, so I'll probably get a surf from my local when they're available to even out my karmic balance later.



I know dudes get weird about red stains, but I was riding a yellow top stain when I broke my arm, so those are the ones I get superstitious about. I was also excited to find out that they have jessup ultra now, so I can finally have the shoe destroying capabilities of mob, with the weird crinkly-ness of jessup.

Got my hands on a lightly used pair of Venture 5.6 Titanium from @Xen and they are my dream Venture. 318g is the nice weight to pair with 8.25 boards, Thunder Titanium are a touch too light and the baseplate on my pair if so worn out that I'm sliding almost entirely on my wheels. May revive it with a Team baseplate if I can a spare.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO
STANDARD - 1.88” - 47.75mm
FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

5.0 ,5.2, 5.6, 5.8 & 6.1 HI
STANDARD - 2.09” - 53.09mm
FORGED - 2.04” - 51.82m

8.4 Anti-Hero/Todd Francis graphic, almost too good to skate. Has fancy rich folks looking at poo themed art.

Let us all hope they are the last trucks you will ever need!

Snapped up a set of Venture Hi's. I originally got them as I need trucks for my cruiser setup, but now I'm wondering if I should just swap them into my main setup in place of my Indy's.
If I skate more often, I'll lose my tricks more slowly...

Yeah, they posted it about it and sold them FCFS in store. I randomly saw the post right when they posted it and live like two blocks away. There was no line when I got there, and by the time I left there were 40~ people lined up outside

got an element flat bar in the mail. portable flat bar is kind of a childish accessory but it will spice up the shitty street "spots" around here.

Prices are just insane

Maybe it's different in the U.S., but the brown ones sat unsold at shops in Canada for a while (some still have them in stock), and the new grey ones appear to be doing the same. I think you could easily get a pair of these for retail price with a few minutes of googling if you wanted them. They're either not as limited as they were for the first couple releases, or nobody is into them.

I also saw the brown ones and the grey ones available for msrp or lower in my size yesterday. I think the first few runs were harder to come by and now that they've put out I think 4 colorways in the past 2 years they've cooled of a bit. I wish they were clearer about what they were for when they put them out. To me, they were pitched like a tribute shoe for chilling and I've never been clear on how skateable they are. They look alright but since I never held one in my hand I just kept it moving.

Got all excited and ordered 2 Jack O’Grady decks from Humidity in early February.  One 8”, the other 8.38” (I skate decks between 8.12-8.25). 

They finally shipped them two weeks ago after harassing them and getting no response.  Why it took 6 weeks I don’t know.  When they finally got in touch with me I was reprimanded for emailing them instead of calling because they are understaffed and don’t have time to check their email. 

Pretty frustrating experience and I ended up with 2 decks in sizes that I don’t even skate.  One will be a wall board I suppose. 

TL;DR: I made an impulse buy that didn’t work out in any way.  At least I supported my boy Jack in some small way.

Any business that doesn't check/reply to emails is seriously blowing it. Once I emailed a doctor's office once because I needed to verify an appointment date and never got a response. I believe I tried calling but the line was busy. So I missed the appointment, was told over the phone that "We don't check our emails" and that I needed to pay $50 to reschedule. Like you want me to pay for your lack of communication? I just said fuck it and looked for another doctor.
