Yeah paid full price for the Palace fleece which was more than what I paid for both Polar and Theories pants combined. But did get a great sale price on those 93s and Lounge pants from Furnace skateshop and they shipped super duper fast (2 days) all the way from CA to ME even with that free shipping.  Been loving all three!

That's a perfect color way. I would buy these but I really don't need new shoes.

all that is needed is the menace/mariners crewneck

[Banned from the room]

Not a fan of the cw but for €60 I couldn't pass

Yes. Not my color way but yes!

My ankles fixed it seems.

Before in vans or whatever. My ankles would pop all day long.

I get out of bed CRACK! Walking down the street
Crack crack crack

I was at an all-time low too. I switched now I'm better. I haven't had this since injury in 2017.

Thank you Tiago. I'd say I owe a little bit.

If primitive comes to Boston and I notice I'll give you some art or something.

I got art I been holding for mark and Fred too.

I think I lost the Fred one but it's in my sig.

I had the Gonz one there too but it might have gotten deleted.

I have that one right in my desk. I rarely see him tho. I definitely feel funny about chasing him down. Cuz I know I'd not want it if I was him and he was me.

Cuz every old lifer to me is equal in awesomeness imm we shouldn't come at each other like that. We should converse become friends then do an art trade.



It's a drawing of Jake bombing a hill. From Marks beautiful eulogy.

 Pretty sure marks filming with his laptop. The song starts. It was All of me. I live that song. Me and my kid would sing it to each other when I first arrived to help take care of her.

Jake bombs down the hill and they pass some birds.

So simple but incredibly beautiful.

It's one of the most beautiful most inspiring things I've ever seen.

Fuckin Jake looked so good on board. His style was the beez fuckin kneez. Jakes rolling silhouette was unmistakable just like Hasoi's is in the air or Tony doing a sad plant or mark doing a crazy Ollie.

To be honest Jake was a bigger influence on us Marblehead kids in the 80s than any pro in history.

Punk fuckin Rock. We all put t-shirt sleeves on our bald ass heads to be like the those original Boston crew guys.

He was the real fuckin deal. Definitely would be bummed on our shoe choice.

thank you! just wanted to preface and say i didnt paint these properly. people suggest to use primer and a top coating but i ditched that.

what i did:

• disassemble
  removed pivot cups
  strip the finish with sandpaper (theres an easier method to this, but forgot what chemical to use)
  used a brush to rid off the residue
  painters tape on pivot cup area and kingpin (if youre painting the hangers put em on the axel)
  lightly coat the first layer
  wait like 3-6 hours
  another layer
  let it sit for 24 hours (longer the better)

what i used:

• 3M 80 grit sandpaper
  Premier Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Aerosol Spray Paint & Primer

[Cesspool86]

Had to snag these from the local as well

Thanks for the infos ! I’d definitely do that next time instead of looking everywhere for a nice coloured pair of trucks

[jums]

MIM PS… very mellow. 6.5” tail 7.25” nose. Width measurements are off. 8.3” wide and tapers to 8” at front truck & 7.88” at the back. ~32” in length. 139s would be the ideal truck  but closest thing I have are 144s and I’m not buying new trucks for one deck.

60’ x 10” roll of Jessup + some Gonz Aloha’s at the very friendly price of $35.10 (thank you, sale thread!)

[Mbrimson88]

Maybe because at one point it was very hard to get, but whenever I see a whole roll of Jessup, I can't help but smile.

Lots around now and I will never run out, but it was pretty scarce at one point and I really don't like riding anything else.

I think it's time I step my game and and get a roll of grip

I haven't skated them yet, but they appear to be some very soft, premium leather.  Glove leather? I dunno, but they're nice in the hand.

First time trying out ventures. 5.6 hollow axel hollow kingpin. Always had skated thunders but since getting back into skating I've wanted to try other brands out. Got some Indy titanium's but the pop feel just isn't there. Everything else is great. Thunders I just wish had the longer baseplate for slides. So ventures seem like the perfect truck for me. Now just need it to stop raining...

Yesterday I ordered some Li-Ning Ellington shoes after somebody posted a really cheap link.
I have a soft spot for The Mule.

[Jim and Dan]

Has anyone here ever ordered from Junkyard? Trying to decipher if it's legit, looks it, but can't be 100% sure.

Yes. They had those crazy deal 2 years ago, where i got 4 alltimer decks for 80 euros i think, which was posted here had some good deals on shoes since then. Been also tempted to buy a few 440v1 for 40 euros for a while now ^^

Excellent! Like I said it looked legit, but had to make sure. They had some crazy deals that were just burning a hole in my pocket, fuck the exchange rate and shipping, the discounts make up for it heavy.

Edit: Damnit, they don't ship to the United States. Any Euro Pals willing to let me ship them something and turn around to ship it to moi? I'll obviously cover all costs .
