Watched a good bit of Bob Wo footage this morning, now I want some Nikes... I don’t even like Nikes and have a ton of other shoes to skate. But damn some GT blazers would be so nice or maybe some black GTS returns...

any suggestions on board with steep kicktails? had a good time with scumco and hockey boards
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Every major shop has a decent shipping and returns policy.

Pretty easy really.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I got no idea about 8.1 shapes as i just finished skating my first one. I had already found some with similar dims but the general lack of stock in the UK and the minimal info shops give on their websites meant i had to go on a safari, so i guess the more similar boards i know of the easiest its going to be to find one at a shop i want to support

Had one before but never really put it to its full potential. Eventually donated it. Curious to try it again and properly set it up, although it sucks they raised their prices.

Check the websites of

Slugger Skate Store
Slam City Skates

and also Paradeworld.

Not perfect info all the time but they have a lot of stock now. Most measurements are there to find if you scroll down to the details.

madness 8.75/31.95?/14.25

nose and tail are listed as 6.65 and 6.5 respectively, not sure how that adds up to 31.95 in total. would be happy if its closer to 31.75 in length.

im over trying to adjust to mellow kick boards, just not for me

pretty embarrassed to say i was over it in one session. the shape was fun but it was too mellow even as a #1 in the stack. yet to find a steep tailed, short wheelbase 9+ deck that isnt dwindle......guess im asking for too much.

looking to sell it honestly

Jerry Madrid is my dad's cousin. Really nice guy. Never had a chance to talk to him for very long, but I'd love to get some stories about young Lucero when/if I ever do. 

So I don't derail the thread, I am currently thinking about buying a shitload of boards and shoes, and maybe even splurging on some Swiss Ceramics once this round of covid money hits.

I'm wondering, has anybody ridden a cafe deck?

I like the graphics a lot, but curious about the shape.

Looked some up as I don't recall the name, but they come up as Skateboard Cafe

EDIT*** and are said to be pressed by HLC (not Dwindle) and seem to be fairly standard shapes and sizes.

This shop has really good views, both top and bottom in clear detail:

In some department store in here for whatever reason you can find Lakais for 50%, they have the classic black/white Sheffield which I assume are "1st gen", non XLK sole.
Any comments?

They don't need much break in time and have a really nice boardfeel. But if your ankles are a bit weak like mine, you are better off with a XLK version of the Sheffield.
I wear these shoes almost daily for working and they are really comfy and soft. Just not very much support, especially if you walk around in them for a few hours.
But I have weak ankles so it could be different for you.
