Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[Xen]

the madness has me

8.75" slappy hollows (really impressed with how light they are)
53mm 99a spit lockins...of.all things

Help.

Two packs of Shorty's Light Allen 7/8. One pack will be denuded of its nuts and combined with Ace Hollow truck bolts.

Fucking hell. Sounds like torture method.

All y’alls gear on this page is sick.

Seeing those Ventures makes me want to get a set and try nose grinds again with them…

And there’s nothing like a fresh pack of Shorty’s  hardware. mmh-MMMH!

Here’s my panic buy from an extended Black Friday sale. Maybe going to make it first deck to hang on wall till it gets used (or kept as wall art because it’s so damn fine in person: opaque clear coat that has some glitter in it that shows the wood grain underneath. And blue top is super sweet. Just please no yellow… I do NOT like yellow)

[close]

I think that was the board that was supposed to be "Mellow mold" or something similar, so if you have had DLX boards, or BBS in general before, how does it compare to those others?

Even to stand on it on carpet or something, does it feel flat or more mellow than any other board you have had recently?


* Maybe not after looking it up again.  That one is Zen with natural ply, from the catalog listing.  Some others were "mellow mold" or "mellow mold slick" from what I can see.

Oh man, sorry I need to turn on “notify me of replies”…

First thing I measured was the kick degree compared to my current DLX 8.38 (also Walker. Flocked. From Spring 2022)

They are both (II) and the tails are the same degrees, but the nose on this Zen is .5 to 1.0 degree less steep.

So both (II)’s are pretty much exactly the same.

Zen for sure. Was very Zen after seeing it arrive safely through USPS.

Sweet board.

These graphics are good. I hope spit keeps running pro models in this way.

Are slappies in any way better than royals? I'm dreaming of 149 ultra lights

Ha yeah, not a worry with replies.

A good one for the wall or to skate, either way, win / win!

They grind better on crunchy shit (why I switched) hell they feel on par or better than Indy grinds…turn wise I find them better for curbs and tranny; different tool for a different job.

They’re taller so I feel better on bigger wheels, less wheelbite overall regardless of wheel size.

Where royals are more thunder/venture, slappy are more ace/ Indy.

Coming off 159 royal ultra lights, I was kind of shocked how light the 159 slaps were…even compared to the 8.25 hollow IKPs.

YMMV.

This is exactly what I was trying to describe to another poster on here recently and they didn't seem to see my perspective! Based on the design, geometry, etc. That Slappy shared when they launched their trucks, I gathered they were a blend of Ace/Indy in many ways.

Seeing how you inferred that based on riding that, my own observation may not be too far off without trying them myself just yet

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Stocked up on boards over the past several months. My money will go toward important responsibilities soon, so I figured I'd stock up now. All size 8.25. Board collection in the back.

April Mariano cornetto 2 board, BBS sticker certified. I pored through shop sites online trying to find this with no luck. Then I randomly stopped by the "uncool" shop (which doesn't even have a website) and they had it sitting there. Never had an April board but their shapes get love on Slap, got to support Mariano, and I like the colour/graphic

FA Wanto Dill board

Girl Tony Ferguson. Not sure if I want to skate or keep since he never had a logo board before this one

Quasi proto

Studio deck. I was wary of buying it since it's Control wood and Control gets a bad rap on here, but the shape is nice, graphic's cool, it was on sale, supported a cool Canadian company, and I supported my local shop

Girl Bannerot blooming. This graphic series is imo the best that Girl's put out in the last decade at least

They’re also sharper than Indy and more stable than Ace (and pinch better than either imo, more like a thunder). In fact slappies kinda sit in the middle (like theeve) benefits from each camp.

Royals are just turnier ventures.

[FUBAR]

Got a pair of Lynx Zero (4th pair of these for me…kind of my go-to shoe) and a set of Bronson G3s (first time trying Bronsons) for less than $53 shipped. Can’t be mad at that!

[Banned from the room]

This is definitely the best wheel formula I've ever skated I can tell that immediately out the box



Yeah I definitely don't want to f****** go back to bones ever

[jsettle]

Just bought 2 sets of the Bronson G3s from SW shipped for 30 bucks. Hopefully i wont hate them. I normally just ride reds so im assuming they will be similar.

[GBLange]

Crob 8.25“ twin kicks & Lil' Smokies 48mm tablets. The lil' smokies were on sale, so why not.. Still not the smallest i've ever ridden. That would be the Channel One Gloworm 40mm wheels.

G3’s are wayyy better than Reds. G2’s are better than Reds. I would compare G3’s to Super Reds, or better. Been skating G3’s exclusively for the last 5 years

Thats good to hear! Thanks for that info. I may have to grab 2 more sets lol

Another 8.125 PS Stix and also a 8.625 for my big wheel board.

Gd that's a killer graphic. Good job Christopher Roberts. Nice haul.

If I had a pro board I'd definitely twin tail and I'd definitely be the King of hearts or something. Use my face tattoo as the suit.

Joker of broken hearts.

Good timing, cracked my 8.125 PS third session lol. Not even mad, I was skating at 7,000ft, at freezing and I am on sadman winter physique lately. Not a ruiner crack either. These boards are awesome though, got that bonus pop!!

[Bristol_Palin]

Not exactly skate but I bought some 18 east brown cords. Great fit.

[Lou Strux]

Everyone’s probably already got one of these must haves of the season, but mine arrived today & isn’t life fine!

Thank you for enhancing my positive resonance, @FABOMARVOCEO.

[Bandee]

cool black label tshirt, and some santa cruz pink slimline rails

[OhioGuy]

First pair of SB Dunks. Was hoping I’d hate them, but after a quick inspection I can tell that won’t be the case. Nice and soft and adequate forefoot protection. Thicker than a Fastbreak, and slightly thinner than a NB# 480. Sucks they’re impossible to buy without fuckery though.



Will wear them when I need a confidence boost. It’s dumb, but the fact that they’re Dunks will get me hyped a little.

[moonordie]

For €28 couldn't say no

[Coastal Fever]

Begrudgingly ordered a last clearance pair of NB 306’s from the big Z because they were only $50cad… got an email two days later saying they didn’t actually have them in stock.
