43mm oj's or anything under 45mm tbh. I'm having a hard time finding them in the us..

A shop in canada has them, but they are holding out

Also, F4 classic 52's next on the realistic list
Which shop in Canada has them?

Vans high tops are sick if you don't want any padding, and you regularly rotate/use your ankles properly.

They'll ship to you no problem. If you ever are looking for shit and wanna check in Canada area51 or sanction are the best online stuff. Those other dudes are weird. I dunno why they wouldn't ship to the USA.

this graphic weirdly speaks to me, it kinda conveys some dystopian future that transports me elsewhere emotionally. dont ask why cus idk. i really don't need a board right now—haven't even set up my black friday deck. but man i like this deck... idek if i'd skate it.

i think next shoe for me will be slapper-recommended NB#440 once they come out with some colorways that i like better. too bad the tom knox one is sold out everywhere.

Haha who is this? Probably won't but also I've only skated classics and still need to give pros a try so there's a very real chance that I will

It’s from the  Rollerball(1975) movie poster. “The year is 2018 in a futuristic society where corporations have replaced countries. A violent futuristic game known as Rollerball is the recreational sport of the world”.

Awesome graphic. I love how they tied in a film that depicts what 2018 would be like a drop the graphic same year. Now if only we had a company in 1984 release a 1984 orwellian themed deck..

They are comfortable as hell but have 3% of stretch fabric. Knee bagging guaranteed.

6 year old deck that was someones wallhanger.  $25 on craigslist.  9.25" Real.

Not sure of the integrity of the wood and how it was stored, and I just built up an 8.75 deck that I haven't skated yet because it's snowing.

I too have been thinking about tiny wheels lately, I have never skated anything smaller than 52 mm and my usual size is 55. A set of like 42 mm wheels might be fun, something different to goof around with now and then.

A dude was selling them hella cheap here and rode around on my board jus to get a feel of the shoe. I was previously skating the éS Accel (the OG ones not the slim version) and they were not that different in terms of boardfeel, they were a bit stiffer but Im guessing that is something that goes away once they are broken in.

that's crazy man thanks for that! that movie has been on my to-watch list for years, so after i read this on tuesday i had to watch it right away. now i want this board even more, but it'd be a wall hanger and idk if i should spend my cash on that at the moment...

If they're anything like the legacy slim they'll stay pretty stiff but in a good way. You don't have that floppy bullshit stage where you want to stop skating them in between new and blown out. You feel supported the whole way through.

I’m trying to find a non-hooded, non-puffy jacket that does good for 20-40 F.  Made in USA or any European country.
