Ishod Wair:
Thunder 147s (on an 8.3)
Stock bushings, but top bushings on top and boardside
three washers on the inside of each wheel to push the wheels out
52 mm wheels.

at that point why not ride 148s? i might try it out to see where the wheels sit in comparison
i think 147s are lower than 148s and up? that's about the only reason i could imagine doing that
It’s so the nut is flush and he can continue to use his trucks without the need to rethread.
BIA: thanks for this gem. Ishod is the best. I for sure want to try this, because Ishod. It’s always way too interesting for me to hear/see a pro talk about their setup, and this was some next level shit. I’m pretty shocked, he says he’s been doing this for awhile, looking at his footage I always thought he was on 149s. Busenitz did 147s for awhile, but his setups looked like that.
I believe ishod does this setup because 147s sit different/lower than the rest of thunders larger sizes. I didn’t catch what wheel he said. Doesn’t grant Taylor only use like 52 wheel?
I wouldn’t be surprised, at all, if it turns out he was skating 148s. Tons of rippers and a few pros seemingly don’t know the name/specs of their equipment, which is both rad/weird to me. He was sounding like a bit of an equipment nerd tho, and he’s obviously tried some shit....the amount of folks saying bolt, when they mean nut is wild to me.
