Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[tuesday]

52mm lock-ins. Happy to have pulled the trigger on them.

[Pastasash]

Been on a Theories kick lately, found these all for great deals online thanks to Theories sale and Orchard discounting previous season stuff.

The plaza denim is now my favorite pant. The fit on these is exactly what I've been looking for, perfect amount of "baggy/loose" feel and length.

Picked up a Santa Cruz Tom Asta board today after my session. I’ve never ridden Santa Cruz or anything made at DSM before, it’s been all DLX and one Bsker board for the last 8ish years so I’m curious to see how it feels. Also I’m technologically handicapped so here’s a link to NHS for the deck I got from my local shop.

Santa Cruz/creature aren’t bad boards at all.

Little early birthday present for myself.  I’ve really been feeling black leather skate shoes recently.

Old pads broke, new pads bought! Means new pic.

[rocklobster]

Got a pair as chillers last month, broken in almost immediately which while great for walking doesn't bode well for long term durability.

How do you like the wheels? I need to get some soft wheels, but the last time I tried 92as they felt awful. Rolling on them felt raspy as shit. Don't know if the wheels were garbage or if it's just the feeling for kinda hard kinda soft wheels. I still want to try these Rictas, but I'm thinking about going fully flacid into 78a.

[DinnerDog425]

Picked up a set of the 54mm Radials.

I haven't tried them out yet, not til next week at the earliest. I will let you know how they compare to my current Spitfire Formula Four 53mm Full Conicals 99 when I have tried them out. I can't really compare it with much because I've only tried a few set of wheels, I started skateboarding not too long ago.

In my best Arnold Swartz voice:

“You son of a bitch.”

Please share a review of them in the wheels thread. Pretty please. You’re awesome.

Just came home with these,

Battle of the softies that slide...

[moonordie]

With a lovely Easter 25%

Ace classic, 44’s🙂

The Sapphire Blue ones are so sick. If I didn’t have a million trucks already I’d pick some up.

Battle of the bushings is about to go down. Ace standard soft bushings are too soft for me and now that indy makes "Original" sized bushings that are similar size I'm going to find a stiffer setup.

Still going to go with a harder duro top with a softer bottom setup ala Ace so I had to get a few sets to mix and match.

[Frank and Fred]

Stage 4 bushings in Ace AF1s? Love to hear how this goes....

You should just stop at Ace hards, they're great....

But they're the same duro top and bottom and we just can't have that now can we?

[DERBY]

ace hards come in handy and you can run nice combos with em

front - stock bottom/stock top
back - hard bottom/stock top

[TwisT]

some spitfire merch with some reward points I had. Gotta rep that spitfire.

[Scottboarding]

Two 8.25s, two 8.5s, and four sheets of grip from SkateSamples. Came out to $36 a board which is awesome for Generator wood.

Mywm. I’ve just took my new setup to the test and from the wow factor away from the Thunder Sonora trucks and the Independent Hard bushings, focusing primarily on the Ricta Clouds 54mm - 92a; I’d say wow! They stick the ground great and goes over bumpy pavement in front of my driveway like a dream. 10 out of 10!

[TerryFunk]

Got a pair of Tyshawns that were on sale. Pretty hyped, haven’t had a pair of skate adidas since the busenitz 1st came out

[FirstBlood82]

A bunch of boards and the spitfires 93
