Thanks!

Nice haul! And thanks for picking up a set of hardware! The sticker character is Sans from the indie RPG "Undertale." That particular image is a meme with him holding a hot dog. I can't tell you the reasoning behind it but I had the urge to replace it with a bolt and make a sticker of it and here we all are. Anyways, I'm discontinuing the sticker and just going with a logo sticker for the next batch so you have a nice piece of spa gear lore!

I for one dig the little Sans logo sticker. Keep doing small video game references like that!

Im keeping that in mind and am open to more stickers like that. I just didn't want the main image associated with the hardware to be a rip off. Once I have some more original softgoods and graphics out there, I will for sure brings stuff like this sticker back!

I’m hoping the SKFs are decent. If they suck, I’m just going to shell out on Swiss Ceramics and be done with it.

Copped a nostalgia piece earlier this week. Not to skate solely to collect, especially since they're half a size big on me

I can't personally attest to the quality of SKF bearings as I've never skated them. But no other bearings I've had over almost 2 decades of skating have ever lasted as long as Swiss, period. That's why it's smarter to pay more up front and spend less in the future. Their definitely an investment.

I would also suggest to opt for the Swiss 6 over any other option. From someone who's skated the standards, labyrinth/labyrinth 2's and ceramics. The Swiss 6, for me, have been the best performing of the lot. They're also the easiest to fully dismantle and assemble for cleaning due to the larger balls.

However, curious to hear your feedback on those SKF's regardless, best of luck.

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=108701.0

Answer can be found somewhere in this thread…..

My impression is they are vanity sizes ie a 36 would work……ninetimes is always pretty helpful too if you just ask…

The XL is a 36 but XXL is 38.

You should lay some of your own pants down and measure across the waist, because odds are their 36 is probably closer to a 38.

I’ve been finding that I prefer the stability over how much *I think* I need to have my trucks turn. I’m not skating transition these days.

I bought the extended wear laces that I saw Christian Flores talk about on YouTube. Recently, I've just been tearing through laces before I even make a hole in my shoe. So I got the laces. I've heard good reviews about them so I'll probably buy another pair.

Ok

With all the truck madness I realized I've never tried cast Ventures; my previous experience with shorter WB boards saw me feeling good on sub 7" noses and longer tail boards 6.8" (primitive and girl, tho I didn't ride either of them with Ventures).

So far the Ventures felt great on a 14.125" WB (7" nose/6.6" Tail, 2 fingers of flat and mellow)  so I can't imagine them feeling any worse on that Girl board as it just shifts the length from front to back.

I like these trucks, that deck was interesting. Has an oddly long tail since they took another shape and pushed the trucks in a bit but mostly at the tail. I liked it best with Thunders for some reason but it was always a bit too short and squirrely for me. Somehow Jordan Trahan rides Aces on it. I did have really good front tails on it no clue why.

The deck has a lot of "fingers of flat" then a decently steep rise. It feels longer than the dims suggest. I really wish they made it in 14.25 I'd be all over it.
