Imo 8.0 trucks felt better on that shape than 8.25. Could just be my preference though.

First 8" board I have since 2014. I know that probably I'll hate it + is PS so it will last 2 weeks and then bye but for €28 with Mob like grip I couldn't say no. Maybe it will be fun on AF-1 44 since I skate better when trucks are 0.25 bigger than the board.
Wanted to use so clear griptape to do something fun with the top graphic but couldn't find anywhere here and sure thing I didn't want to order that so I did the shades treatment.
Funny that in the second pick looks like a 40" long lol
Sir, I'm going to politely, but firmly, ask you and your common sense to leave this establishment.

Another set of Bones X99's for wintertime indoor park. Already have a set in 55mm, now ordered 54s as 55 felt kinda big. Yeah, I'm autistic in that way.

A great wheel.

The middle one looks nice. I used to love Zero but if you're older than 28 feels really weird to skate one of those and I'm way past that age

Oddly enough, most of the people who loved Zero growing up and are more likely to skate them now are 25+ skaters. Not saying they aren't popular with younger skaters but most of the graphics released seem to be throwbacks/reissues of graphics they've already done. Which aligns with people 28+ like myself

Finally decided to get some bones swiss bearings. I have been riding bronson g3’s which I have no problems with. I am going to pair up the swiss with some 54mm formula 99x widecuts that I just bought as well.

Cambridge are solid, only lakai I ever had. Wore out on me kinda quick but I used to skate regular mob back then so thats prob why, def one of the better looking lakais in my opinion

kept slipping out of pinchy grinds on worn down 52mm classics. got 53mm conicals and they seriously help out with staying pinched. they made my setup feel quite noticeably heavier though, which i actuallynliked. more weight to throw around feels nice compared to light boards that feel like the wind could take it.

big square wheels sound better upon impact to me compared to smaller round wheel. the sound of the wider contact patch reverberates when it hits the ground. super satisfying.

I’ve spent so much this Black Friday weekend

5 boards, 6 9 pairs of slip cups (thank you @EmericaTM for the sale), couple t shirts

I need to skate more than buy things from now until next November

I’m on the fence about setting up the John Lucero Krooked deck, but got a set of 58 mm Classics for it. Also, my decade-long curiosity about Swiss Ceramics is going to come to an end.

One day I'll get these bearings as well, but they cost as much as my rent right now. Waiting for your review!

Hell yeah Im gonna skate em haha, I do have like 4-5 shoes on ice too so I'll probably wear them as chillers for a while until they're up to bat. Maybe wear em if Im gonna get a clip. Where did you get the fogs? I hear people say that shops have those less sought after colorways but my local (bluetile SC) never seem to have them and when they do they do first come first serve and kooks that don't skate line up all night long and take em all.

damn, i am in europe and by now it is quite easy to get them through a shop.....most shops have dunks online now and they were even part of the black friday discounts now too. but i just try to keep my eyes open wich means spending too much time online  ::)

i skated mine for the first time yesterday and had a blast, the suede makes them fit real nice.

Do you find them "steep"? I keep hearing the kicks are super steep but to me it just looks like more fingers of flat but the same overall angle.
