I ordered some 58 mm spits of classic because loopholes are not that big yet. You know I'll be grabbing 2 or 3 sets when they are available.

I almost got orange wheels. They are my absolute favorite thing in skating. Orange wheels are boss level shit. Reminds me of being a little kid. I always had white black or orange wheels. Blue sometimes.
I didn't want tablets tho and I need to be 56mm up.

Because I've figured out that the checkpoint pro is my shit I got another pair.

The check point reminds me of the year check your head came out. Eli and I were all about that Converse shoe. I think it wasn't called a check point tho?

Anyway I hope you are doing well. I got my second shot yesterday and I feel like total shit.

Deep bone pain entire body.
NFG is doing a preorder fundraiser thing, the link is on their Instagram, but they’re going up to 60. Same as wheels as loophole.

If Spit made some 99 F4 in black, I would be all over them

I saw a kid at the park with them. Conical I think. Looks good
I got these Spanky f4s neckface graphic in 99a conical fulls that are orange and they're so fucking sick. I normally don't like colored wheels but these really appealed to me.

I ended up grabbing a pair of the ave pros in the black/'gum' colorway. I thought the sole would be way more transparent than it ended up being. Tried em on, fell in love. I havent been this excited walking around in a shoe since the 440s. I know these arent traditional cupsoles but between these and the 440s I lose my infatuation with vulcs more and more.
Every time the McRib comes out I buy it. I don't even like the damn things.

Do I still have to half size down with cons?

For All star and purcell silhouettes, yeah. I don't know about the other shoes they offer.

So I'd be the same size in Purcells as CTAS?

I hate how inconsistent their sizing is. I've bought 4 pairs of converse over the years and only one pair has fit.

When I was younger sizing never bothered me but now I'm only interested in things that fit properly.

Yeah, purcells are sized the same as CTAS.

Was a bit cross faded and apparently ordered two of these bad boys — two shops; other one comes in a few days.

Wanted to try one of these Orchard shop decks after hearing good things from some Pals. Grabbed a 8.5, then saw they had the 97a F4's... then saw their shop Shorty's hardware rip... then saw they had the silly MOB roller tool for like 1/3 price. Impulse extras that I am stoked on. The MOB roller is nice, I used it twice yesterday, worth the $8

If they're the Vans Pros (or the new equivalent) they feel WAYYYY better after they stretch out.

Took a week or two as my dog walking shoes to feel better.

Yup, those turds. I'll have to walk them forever, not the idea when you're buying Vans.

Damn @stets , looks like the rollers are gone. I made my own out of an old generic truck hanger with a big cruiser wheel on one side and have been using that for years. It gets the job done but I'd definitely buy one of the mob ones at that price.

The gangemi/pop master decks are good. Is yours an m1? The shape on the 8.12 m1 feels like it's slightly off in some way to me but I really like the 8.25. They feel really light, like.. 6 ply light, which always throws me off for a second when I skate mine. It feels like a product that will be really, really good with a few minor tweaks as it develops. Really cool to have another USA woodshop making very high quality boards again.

Situations like that are why I always avoid buying stuff after a few drinks.

Is that a Steve Powers poster creepin in the background?

I have two more boards coming too. My ass needs to stay off the internet when I’m a joint and a few beers in.

Wish it was an ESPO poster. But the poster is by Mark Sloan (studio-sloan.com).

I wanted to try some PS Stix again. Got a Quasi 8.125. Wheelbase is 14.1 and Length is like 31.4. But now I know PS measures with the concave, so that's what I tell all the homies from now on.

Just got a funky looking crack (?) on the nose already. Worst case, this will be my rain/cruiser deck.

That should count as a manufacture defect. Exchange that shit.

Half tapered, half square, with a huge dent in the middle.

Never seen something like that before. Especially not on a new deck. But thanks mate. I think I will send that back.

I've gotten a board like that before from a south central company and It did end up breaking 1st session on the end with the split. I was lucky to get it replaced afterwards.

It's was marked as M2. Outside of the tail being about 1/8 in too long for my liking, the shape seems good to me! Kinda like good 8.5 Bakers I've skated a few times in the last couple years, but with the 14 inch wheelbase that is so hard to find on bigger boards.

I got a SWH blank to trash and relearn some shit, including what gear I like. Already had to get better bushings. Caved and got some Blazer Mids, may or may not skate them. Looking at the Lakai x Black Sabbath Tulfords. Never had a pair of Lakai and I love mids and Sabbath. $90 is an ask though.
