i like the shape of the franky villani primitive decks. too bad all his graphics are literal dogshit

[close]

Idk. When skaters doodle their own graphics I give props.

[close]

Every board is a can of spray paint away from a good graphic
And the point of this thing we do is to get rid of those graphics..
Idk maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years

[close]

well of course thats the easy solution but at that point why even spend $50+ on it and extra on spray paint? i really would need motivation to ride the graphics off these decks, good thing franky is pro. i cant pay to walk around in public with this shit let alone post it in the setup thread. to be honest, id need a primitive check to own any of these atrocities. maybe im crazy for liking to look at my investment and be satisfied with what i spent my money on but you can be the judge

spray paint is free my friends.

Wal*mart has no cages. Just walk in pick a color from the trees and walk out.

If you're not completely comfortable with this Recycle a can by leaving an empty one in its place.

Rack up ked

Should I feel guilty and is it wrong if I skated this limited run Baker x Trailer Park Boys collab deck?

I'm gonna be out of the country for a few months and was contemplating just buying from the local shop in Israel where I'll be staying, rather than going through the hassle of taking my board from home as luggage. I was checking out what they have and apparently a lot of their stock includes old shoe brands and deck runs which I'm assuming is due to skateboarding not being as popular over there meaning a lot of stuff ends up just collecting dust and not selling.

They have this deck for an alright overseas price and in the size I want, but would it be wrong to skate it since it's a limited run graphic and somewhat of a collectors item? Should I just leave it be for someone else or does it not matter?

never owned a board below 31.3" but would want to try it for fun. at 6'5" would i even be able to do anything but cruise on this if im all legs? crazy dims but would be pissed if i spend $60 and it ends up a cruiser.

[tzhangdox]

that definitely looks like cruiser/slappy material to me. theres a reason why boards evolved into popsicle shapes

Dude unless you have the entire series and are a Trailer Park Boys fan, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
Don't know about Israel but in here Latin America I see shops getting tons of old stock (as well as new shit too), cuz people don't consume skating gear nearly as much as in the state. The other day my friend bought a new board and it was  John Rattray Zero board.

I might just go for it, I doubt a collector would even consider ordering it from there or whatever. This shop also has some Baker 3 decks but none in the size I wanted.

I have no idea but post on here if you buy it. I think that looks pretty dope. I haven't skated an actual crazy shape since the 80s but have had three Polar P9s in a row and think I'm ready for this, which says it's a modified 80s shape.

The frog shape reminds me of my favorite old school skateboard:



Learned Ollie norths and nocomplys with this board.

Frog is dope

Choosing between Indy 144 and 149. Recently went up in board sizes and while I'm loving the room the longer WB doesn't jive well for me, nose and tail end up feeling a touch too short. Thinking if I should go with the Indy Standard or the Hollow versions, they are a fair bit pricier.

I don't notice much of a difference between hollows and standards. I would never get forged hollows or Tis though cuz geometry. I like a little magic carpet ride so imo 8.38 or under get 144s, 8.475-8.6 get 149s.

I, too, hate longer wheelbases.

You're contemplating not buying a skateboard you want because someone else may want it more?
When I get a kid, I'm gonna call whoever raised you for guidance, damn.

A baker 3 deck is a wall hanger for sure

I have 2 tees currently. I say go for it, support the brand lol.

Toying with getting a pair of Vans TNT Advanced Prototypes. I've bought a handful of shoes over the past few months (Nike Grant Taylor Blazers, Adidas Campus ADV, Adidas Matchcourt, Vans Half Cab Pro) and the ones that are easily the best for me + most comfortable for long periods of time are the Half Cab Pros. Basically looking for something similar but as a low.

I think they're pretty sick since franky drew his own graphic, the dragon ball z one is questionable, but original art is sick. I've had the orange and the dog one and gotten compliments on em

I've got this hoodie. I don't usually wear clothing with logos but I wanted a nice pullover and to support a good shop/spitfire. From a quality standpoint it's very comfortable.

Found some 3st.004 @ 50%

[rocklobster]

Some slightly smaller wheels (50-51mm) and trucks that extend the WB by around 3.125", right between Indy and Thunder. I didn't have a great experience with my last pair of Indys so I was pleasantly surprised with the 144 Standard. The pop light despite the weight, a touch too light for me, but find them too high, hence the smaller wheels.

I have a pair

Haven't skated them yet, still breaking them in

The insole has more support to it so the heels don't mush out to the side as quickly as vans pros

Now that they are not as stiff, I'm looking forward to skating



I like the spitfire hoodies with the swirl/trippy "The End" on the back

[rocklobster]

Adidas Superstar ADV Vulc in a high top, the white leather ones look so damn good. Anyone tried a pair for skateboarding?

[moonordie]

Now I found some Lakai proto for a really cheap price. The first colorway that I always kinda liked it.
Last Hawk shoe I had were the 900s which were awesome back in 2001.
Anybody had tried the protos?

[Ok]

Damn! First color is hot and I should have gotten it, by the time I thought it over they were gone. They run a little narrow in the forefoot/toe. I liked em. I’ve said before that I thought the shoe was too expensive, I was maybe wrong on that, good shoe. Kinda similar to the Tyshawn in some ways.

I don’t really know the difference between these and the adidas pro model, but if it’s any consolation I just bought these pro models and really like them. They have an unlined suede tongue with centering straps and light padding. They remind me of a slimmed down Blazer, which was exactly what I’ve been looking for as I’ve been skating Cons 70’s and have wanted something just a tad more protective. Hopefully they shouldn't pack out as much as a Blazer because I love the sock like feeling of the canvas on Cons.
