Bought some Indy Standards yesterday. Aside from a brief Ace Classics trial, this is the first time I've tried a different truck in like ten years. Only cruised the parking lot and skated flat for a few minutes but right out of the gate they turn really well. Actually had to tighten them a smidge which is generally the opposite problem I have with new trucks. Gonna see once and for all if I should "fuck the rest".

The P2 feels way more balanced than the FA/hockey or Quasi shapes that are similar. Might be an adjustment coming from popsicles but I feel like the nose is super forgiving for kickflips and heelflips.

First pair of Emericas since skating the Fat Laced in 2009. Curious to see if the poured in G6 midsole will help with a back injury I’ve been carrying around for a while. Got the G6 insoles too, but they’re a bit angled and might not work with this shoeThunder 148 titanium lights for when I retire my current trucks that just hit axle. It might be another couple months

How much higher does it lift your foot say compared to a nike zoom insole or something similar? https://www.tactics.com/emerica/g6-foam-insoles/greenhttps://www.tactics.com/es/sti-energy-foam-insoles/redI also wonder how different it is from the es sti energy insoles. Seeing their both sole tech, possibly the same thing just different marketing?

Be interested to hear updates on the back. I’ve been skating a little bit, mostly in some era’s, my back feels cooked. I am very old, out of shape, do not stretch, only skate flatground. Lots of things I could do, like lose some weight, stretch, etc. fuck that. If these insoles work I’m buying. Titanium lights…those seem like a great time

Titanium lights…those seem like a great time[close]The only way I can enjoy exercising is by skating as hard as I can. Can’t do that when my back is hurting. I’m currently using an ab-wheel and a kettle bell to work on my core, but I don’t really work out. I might change that up too though So far the Tiago shoe is the perfect shoe for me. With NB coming out with a second Tiago shoe there’s a chance the 1010 gets fazed out eventually. I got the Emericas to try out the G6 midsole to see if it’ll work for me. My understanding of skate shoe tech is that a midsole is more important than an insole, but you can pair them together

Also looking through the new collection all of the graphics are on brown, too.
