Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[Candied cigarettes]

Just got my first pair of adidas busenitz’s. Still rehabbing from an injury so I’ve only skated them once, but I was surprised at how roomy they are.

If they’re the reg busenitz and you’re only going to use them for skating. I would suggest putting a tiny amount of shoe goo on the Ollie area stitching. I had 5 pairs in the past, loved them but that stitching would shorten the service life by a good amount.

PUT SUPER GLUE ON ALL EXPOSED SEAMS ON ALL YOUR SKATE SHOES.

It's not rocket science guys...

I somehow managed to get some sb dunks at retail and switching from blazer lows to dunks has been pretty jarring: stiffer, less board feel and less grippy. I guess thats why people like cupsoles?

The laces are also way more exposed and rip quite easily, yet the puffy laces in the correct color are way harder to come by, replacing with some random laces sounds shitty.

yeah i know I'm a crybaby and most people would be #blessed to get a pair of these elusive shoes. Anyone else have buyers remorse from buying dunks?

I'm a huge fan of dunks and they are really nice to wear for a whole day with a bit of skating here or there like 1010s. The dark secret is that they aren’t great skate shoes and style/durability is their strong suit over flick, board feel, impact protection, and grip.

IMO The main thing Dunks have going for them is they are hands down the best looking skated shoe.

stickers on an unskated wall hanger? cmon man

[close]

Please stop trying to ruin my dream of becoming a slap pal , I bought it from friend with stickers on it , didn’t love the shape but wanted it on wall

your "friend" could use an intervention
and you could use some better dreams

Do the right thing: get some Goo Gone and remove those stickers

[white guy in a durag]

grabbed some of the new Nick Boserio wheels, hoping they'd be the classic combo shape in 99a or a new 60mm mini combo shape. Turns out I got owned and they're just 58mm mini combos; identical to the shin sanbongi ones from a while ago.


Good news for everyone that liked the 58 shins I guess, but bad news for me.

Ok I’ll look into it , thanks

You'd probably have good luck peeling them if you used a heat gun or hair dryer to warm them up first. It'd be worth trying before taking solvent to it.

It's true! Best preventive measure for sure.

Tactics no less... that's certainly a choice.

I cringed.

SKF bearings just arrived today and all 8 were smooth as silk.  I don't think I've bought a set of reds in the past two years where at least one of them felt gritty right out of the box.  Stoked on them but need to skate 'em now.

8.3 Quasi Henry twin

I'm on the ishod 8.3 twin and have been eyeing up that Quasi.  Is yours BBS pressed, yeah?   There's one site in the UK claiming it's pressed by PS Stix and the top photo they used looks like it's got the PS Stix etching at the front bolts.

I've a love hate with the dlx 8.3 (of the 3 I've had I've gotten very injured...so I'm just letting that one go). Been on the 8.5 Foy, just want a trimmer 8.3.

@wrinkletusk I would say PS as it is laser engraved, but it doesn't say 'manufactured by PS' and it also has the BBS dot...so I'm going with BBS.



Also has sweet ass matching top/middle plys



I'll come back in two weeks to let you know if it's flattened out and confirm it's PS

EDIT: just realized it can't be PSTix, why? Because the length is correct for a quasi board for a change...any Quasi out of PS is usually listed .25" longer than it actually is.

What is tactics? I’m new here not sure what you mean

Such a good clear and crisp pic of the top, which I would say is BBS.

I am going to copy this to the Woodshop thread, given I think this is the first post I have seen of the Quasi BBS board with pics like that.

Thanks again for posting such detail.

Three more Cody Lockwood VX Creatures. A friend convinced me to try one. I had four days in a row being able to skate like I was 10 years younger again and just like that I became a VX guy

Explain how... and did you get those online?

[Paco Supreme]

I haven’t seen that many creatures even in a shop in recent times.

I managed to snag some BOGO f4 classics, haven’t tried classics since Mike Andersons SFW wheels dropped years ago, kinda excited

Haha true, nice one, thanks for getting back to me with that!  Might have to pull the trigger on it now.

Also looking for the fountain of relative youth (10 years ago I was still really old), so chiming in for more feedback

Hyped you found something that stokes you!

[Xen]

Love me some VX, but that specific creature shape (8.25" x 32.04") and I didn't gel well...

[tom]

@rocklobster Unfortunately had to order them online because my local shop doesn’t even carry Creature

@ok it’s noticeably lighter than a normal 7ply deck so flip tricks took a lot less effort

I remember one of my friends used to skate those kevlar top ply Tum Yeto boards. Those things were awful and never felt right. These feel like actual skateboards

[iw0]

not bought, but given for free - and not new by any means. but i was able to rehab them with some red stock venture bushings i swapped out of a deck for the nfg bushings. other than the pivot cups being worn they still have a lot of life in them so i put them on a deathwish complete i also nabbed for free a while back
