This is true. I’m riding a pass port and got another for the next ....

I would be surprised if anybody finds them disappointing

Those Reynolds rvca jeans. Anyone tried them? True to size? Wider from the thighs than say, 501s?

Strongly considering getting this for the wall because it has my name on the top ply

Yeah, first half of my last name is Mambo and a lot of people call me that so it'd be a pretty neat novelty item. And of course Alexis is sick too, deserves the money.

Hi Mambo!

I wanna buy some 99a radial slims but they’re kinda tough to find. Gonna check the locals soon. Also “need” to get some Dylan’s just in case. Is it true Huf’s gonna keep making em?

Bunch of boards I wanna get for the wall (and aren't included with my following list. With that said, seriously considering getting a WKND 8.6, one of the Manderson KRooked shapes (8.5 x 32.56), Boserio Polar (9 x 32.25) Casper Brooke Isle 8.75 shape, or anything that is 8.5+ x 32.25 with something more than 14.25 WB. Thought about a 917. That Olson butthead one 8.6.

Fuckin never been this picky, but not trying to waste money, and I say that after skating a Real Chima 8.4 x 32 and it felt hella small. First time I ever felt that length was small. Shit just didn't feel comfortable and I have no real good reason, especially when I thought I like 32 L.

Been thinking about copping some 187 knee pads, but only for big vert/pools. I feel like fear is holding me back from doing anything on big transition, 8-12 feet. I only want one pass and not a helmet or elbow cause I feel like if you can properly knee slide you dont gotta worry about else most of the time, not saying they're some sort of magic foolproof anti injury device. In addition to that, both my knees are already pretty fucked up( hyperextended left knee twice, nerve damage from impact in right knee) so I feel like it's a win-win, I can be able to bail "safely" by knee sliding while also saving my knees!

Ok

They fit true to size, some of them normal and others more boxy. No slim fit shit. It says in the description. I'm an L in most shirts, went for an XL and i shouldn't.
Great quality also, they are worth esp. when 50% off.

Only thing holding me back is the $80 price tag. Still heavily considering it, I need to taper my spending way down though.

Anyone know when new hard good drops will likely happen? Closer to Summer? Or is there gonna be a Spring drop?

I'm worried about getting scammed but I want to very badly. I don't even know the first thing about buying a camera, can I get a new/refurb without fear of assrape? What would you pay for a VX now?
You made both those videos all on this?

how is it moving while filming? i'm sure necessity has helped you find some great methods.

Been on 8.25-8.5 with either Ace 44's or Indy 149s.

Considering moving down to 8-8.125 and/or trying a different truck. The wheelbases between 8-8.25 all look around 14.25 give or take. Anyone size down and like it? Main difference is truck width.

8.5's are more fun, but 8.25 just feels so much more on point. Still bouncing back and fourth every couple boards.

That's my struggle and why I default to 8.3x

I'm eyeing a FA 8.38 because I can't seem to find anything that falls into the WKND/Quasi/SC Wide tips that is under 32" but the FA WB is fucking short.

I float between 8.25 - 8.5 (mostly 8.25 for the past few) and the FA shapes are pretty good in that range. I like the shorter WB and 32" is the max length I'll skate. I find a shorter WB makes for poppier faster flips and feels like an overall quicker response.

I've found 14.25 with Indy or 14.38 with Ace to be my preferred max. The new Polar 8.25s all seem to have 14.125, which could be mega fun.
