My thunder 147s show up tomorrow and I am excited like Xmas. Cannot wait to pop those magic thunder kickflips. In my now 43 year old low impact world, thunders and ventures just work better for me. Have not settled on either yet.
Is it weird to feel somewhat of a traitor for having been an Indy loyalist, but in my current state, feeling that they don't work for me anymore. Like breaking up with a long term girlfriend because now you just want different things.
(In saying this, Indys have felt different to me since that stage 9 debacle but I kept coming back, hoping they'd feel right again. Funny looking back but I really felt slighted by them when stage 9 came out. Like "you guys will buy any bullshit we put our name on, here's the stage 9 diarrhea, go fuck yourselves". Hate that truck forever. Then I skated ventures and skated probably the best I ever had)
