Gear your contemplating buying?

[FUBAR]

Some 5.6 Ventures…something lighter than the standard ones. I am over these Maglites…bent the axle on the new set in a month. I can now confirm that maglites are not for bigger people and hard curb skating.

[Beeker]

Es quattros.

The suede ones, not leather.

Anyone skated them?

I have the chance to get them cheap online, I've never tried them on though. How's the board feel, and do they fit TTS?

Definitely get a half size up, as recommended by ES. Even at half size up they have a really short toe. I'm used to wearing shoes a half size big and with longer toes so they took me a minute to get used to, but board feel is OK once broken in and they are decent quality shoes.

i just bought these online yesterday. the white/red and black/gum were the first release and run a half size small (the description says order .5 up on those two) the spring 21 line doesn’t say that and a video i watched said they fixed the sizing problem. they look pretty cool. i got the suede black gum in 8.5 so wish me luck. it was those or the fuckin uh whatever they are the Kostons with the same sole.

They definitely won't grind as well....maybe turn won't be as good but everything else should be fine.  Get the hollows or titaniums.  I put bones bushings in.  Best of all....make sure you buy venture gear...the only truck company worth repping...

Ahh, my bad. Thanks for the info. I had the white/red ones so I guess that adds up. Kind of annoying though.

Yes I will miss the maglite buttery grind for sure but not a wobbly deck because axles are tweaked.

[DarkPools]

Just wanna throw this out there about the ES Quattros. I bought the Black/White pair 0.5 size up, even though es "fixed" their sizing issue. They didn't. I'd suggest going 0.5 up on all colorways. They run small anyways. The Silo SC is the same way. Go 0.5 up.

[moonordie]

Waiting for the Puig carbon to see how much they're in here

[Rattus Localis]

 Thanks for the advice, everyone.

They ended up selling while I hesitated, but that's not a bad thing. I've already got four pairs of other shoes sitting in my closet, waiting to be skated.

I cracked my mag lites and sent a dm with a pic to their insta like a man and they shipped me tensor aluminums for free.

eS Accel Slims in red, scientifically proven to be the best color.

Anyone know if they fit TTS?

[GardenSkater77]

Anyone skating Snack? This looks really full?

sean greene’s pro. sean greene is dope and so is this shape

The accel slims I had felt long and narrow but I think sizing down would have been too tight

[big_kev_215]

Has anyone purchased a Glue Skateboards deck? What’s up with the wheelbases/shape? 

[LebowskisRug]

7.8-8in deck and 8” trucks, lows probably. Looking for the early 2000’s flip trick flow. Not sure what brand or shape to try.

[GBLange]

contemplating buying Thunder 161 Hollows for 9.25 eggball deck.

[MysticalTypeExperience]

I maybe wanna try an Andy Anderson pro model (9.13x32.8" /w 15" wheelbase) if they ever come back in stock. If you watch his interview on Nines Club where he talks about the logic of designing it, it's really quite interesting. It's not symmetrical obviously but it has the balance of a twin tail. Might be too wide for me though.

[topfrog10]

considering going to a real full se 8.5 after skating a quasi 8.5 and loving everything about it except how fucking short the tail is. anyone have opinions on the real se 8.5? on tactics it says they have the same length tail but looking at the decks in person makes me think differently.

[jsettle]

I've actually been contemplating switching to thunders from indy's just for a change. I've never skated Thunders but love how they look and think they would be the best bet if i was going to switch truck brands. Been on Indy's for the past 15 yrs or so, so it's hard to just switch it up for me. I mainly skate skateparks, curbs, and smallish transition. Anyone want to sell me on switching to thunder lol? I ride 55mm-56mm wheels so that's why i have always been on the fence about it and dont really want to ride risers. I will admit i do get ghost pop alot on my indys though. Never really realized it until recently. I saw Tactics has some standard High Thunders on sale for 36 bucks so i'm really thinking about going for it.

they're good. PS stix. I really like them.

I had a couple Full SE's. Great shape and feel! However, my most recent one had a super short and mellow feeling tail compared to previous ones (might have been in my head OR I got a super mellow press - a 3 or a 4 in the stack perhaps).

The tails seem to be similar between Quasi and Full SE from what I've eyeballed in person, but it's been awhile, so I could be way wrong.

I’d get Team plates and smaller wheels: 53-54 or use risers with your current size.

My friend rode Indy for 20 years and switched to Thunder for a bit and really enjoyed them. They’re my second favorite to Indy so you’ll prob be down.

I did the same, then bent the replacements they sent, too.

Thinking about buying some Bronson G3's because they're orange and would match my incoming OJ plain jane keyframe wheels...I think I'm fuckin losing it guys

[FROTHY]

Currently eyeing up some cupsoles to skate after I'm done mending a foot injury. Protection is a priority. Tiagos and Telfords are in the running. There's a chance my local has both of those, in which case I'd judge them purely on how they feel. I kinda like mids/highs lately, but the Tiagos are more visually appealing to me. Anyone have insight to guide this important decision?

[moonordie]

Some cheap bearings, Film 5.5 and an 8.25 board. Probable a skateboard cafe. Anybody tried those?

[mynameisnotjeff]

Thinking about going down to an 8.0 or 7.8… again.

Both shoes are great but I’ve really been loving the Telford lately. Tiagos kind of hurt the arch of my foot. The telfords feel and skate perfect straight out of the box. They feel mad supportive but not restricted on the ankle.

The Tiagos are the great. I'm an old fat dude with foot problems getting back in to skating after a long hiatus. These are the first shoe model that doesn't leave my feet feeling trashed after a session.
