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.

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.

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!

Ricta clouds are flipping amazing cruiser/film wheels. You don’t have to worry about ANYTHING.

Way too much Nike stuff that even makes me ashamed buy it was way too cheap to let it pass. Waiting for everything to arrive to post a proper pic

Needed a new 8.25 so I got the skate shop day DLX one from Orchard for cheap and a few sheets of Orchard pepper grip, gonna put a latenitestars sticker on the board so graphic didn't matter just wanted nice wood.

Also got the SF Giants dunks from Goat for 115$ including shipping. SB Dunk high for 115 delivered to my doorstep can't beat it. They were 92$ before shipping because they were "new with missing box lid" which seems sketchy but GOAT checks them before and I've never had any problems with them.

Bought my first pair of Polar 93s from a few seasons ago, I really like them. Goddamn it was a pain trying to figure out what size was right for me, though. Settled on 32/30 and I usually wear 34 or 36. Only thing is that they don't totally cover the heel/go down to the heel of my shoe, but it's better than most other pairs of jeans.

I really want some but cant justify spending more than 40$ on pants. I look on depop all the time though one day Ill find some

I was the exact same way but the dam eventually burst. These are the only pants I've ever spent over $100 on, haha. I bought other lesser-priced jeans from other retailers (Urban Outfitters blue jeans, 550s from an eBay seller) but they weren't what I was looking for like the 93s are.

Yeah, they fit well enough.  Not quite the same, but depending on what you do with them, eg nose / tail slide or full lock board slides, they didn't get in the way for the people I have seen that have used them.

Might be a little different on AF1 to Ace Classic trucks, but still not anything like the offset of say Thunder to any of the more universal Indy / Ace / Venture in that regard.

Get yourself some elastic bands, speeds up recovery and strengthens to reduce the damage for the next tweak (knock on wood).

[moonordie]

Wanted these ones for a while.

[heinzketchup]

Wanted these ones for a while.

Favorit shoe, you got a pretty nice collection
I will receive some Jordan 1 in full black leather today, im not sure If i should skate them because they are kind of price

[Bold]

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

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

Ended up with hard ace top and 90a independent on bottom and I'm liking a lot.

After over a month of waffling, I went ahead & pulled the trigger on a pair of these new, re-issue Limpies, hoping for a magical nostalgia time machine that will take me back to my youth.
I know, I know… 🤦‍♂️

Just set up a GO33 Chocolate. Haven’t skated a crail board in over twenty years. The shape is really weird to look at but it seems fun. Raining today but hyped to try it out tomorrow. Have only skated BBS for the last two years so excited but also a little scared to try a new woodshop

[chillclinton87]

yessss i got those on my cruiser! team hollows are cool, please report back how you enjoy the thunders.

[moonordie]

Will do asap, still nursing a fucked up ankle so I haven't been able to really skate in more than a month. Next weekend I'm going to Berlin to skate but I don't want to risk it by skating new trucks so I'll start after that.
