Gear your contemplating buying?

hopefully copping some thunder polished 147 titanium hollows if I can find them anywhere online

[tom]

Are we expecting to not be able to get hardgoods for a while going forward? I’m looking at getting a set of trucks and a couple sets of f4’s just in case. My trucks are fine for now, but another month of slappies might do them in. I can’t find any Thunder 147’s, so I might have to cheat and get some ACE 03’s since the 33’s are all sold out

[rocklobster]

More Ventures, regular 5.2 or 5.6, not the fancy hollow ones.

Been eyeing a some Autobahn 54mm dual core wheels. It's an older Joey Pepper model which is great, dude rips.

[Ok]

Ooh I’d be interested in how those 03s worked for you.

really torn between a pair of thunders or just getting another pair of indy 149s.

I know I like the Indys, but want to try the thunders, though I'm sick of buying shit I might not like so I'm at a bit of a crossroads here, liked the old pair I have but want to try them now that they're higher.

they turn okay right? doesn't have to be wobbly indy or ace loose just needs to be able to turn, if it's even a little bit better than venture I'll be fine because I liked the turn on those.

[JudoOrigami]

stick with the indys

What's up y'all,

I am considering buying a pair of es accel OGs but I have never skated a shoe so chunky. How chunky are these compared to nike SB dunks ?

I would try it on but most skate shops are closed.

[tom]

Go with the Accel slims if you’re getting a pair

Never skated a pair of Dunks but I've tried on the Accel, Accel Slims and currently wearing Square Three, which to me is the natural evolution of the Accel. Accels felt way too chunky by today's standards and I'm amazed  I used to skate such big shoes back int he day. Accels Slims were significantly slimmer but were neither here nor there in terms of flexibility and comfort. I'm really liking the Square Three with the vulcanized sole and the bottom isn't too thin that I bruise my heels landing primo.

Not the best pic but the accel og is a bit wider than dunks at the tongue and toe. I can wear my thick winter socks in accel og but not the dunks

I swear the original Accel wasn’t always so big. Even back when the Accel was THE shoe to wear it was still slimmer than the ones they’re pumping out now. Then again es can’t seem to quite get it right

think yall are overreacting about these es'

Es messing up their re-releases is like Vans not having old skools/sk8 highs/half cabs for sale, then when they go to re-release a classic they pick the Willy Santos 3.

[munchbox]

bones swiss 6 and riptide pivot cups
getting a new deck and spits makes me want to go all out with this setup

Haha, a friend got the OGs and I swear they looked so exaggerated. I feel a little gaslit by 'eS.

NHS (Indy, OJ, Santa Cruz, Creature) is closed and not shipping.  I believe DLX (Thunder, Venture, Spitfire, Real, Krooked, Anti Hero ) is closed and not shipping.  If you are looking for product from them, then yes - you won't be able to get hardgoods for a while.  Many online retailers are already running low on them.   

Ace is still shipping right now and that's all my local can get in.  They have 33s in stock.  https://squareup.com/store/solsk8s/item/ace-black?square_lead=item_embed

I believe Skate One (Bones, Powell) is still shipping - or was last week.

I really like my thunders. They turn just fine. I skated Indy for 12 years, I'll never go back.

I really appreciate the dedication. The commitment. The never. 
All I know, is that I don’t know, and that I’ll change it all up again.

[weon]

I have a set of 5.75 ATG mags sitting around I wanna pair with a Welcome Atheme football, 9” baker, or an AWS 8.75
fatty with short wheelbase essentially, lmk if u have an opinion
maybe try out some conical fulls to throw on there...
maybe my first set of swiss 6...
maybe...

isolation madness is bad enough but now the famous stimulus check in the bank is getting to my head. we’ll see if I actually go through with it...

edit: i ordered the football cus it was in stock at my local...

[radcunt]

I'm lusting after some Indy 215s now they're back in stock but dont know what board to put them on.  Anyone got a 215 setup?

I feel like your (potential) setups with <6” trucks and then with 215s somehow make more sense than mine that are 8-8.5.
215s look very very cool. Never skated them.
Watching Gonz videos and his beemer setups look so sick/fun.

[FrozenIndustries]

Venture 5.8s (standard cast plates).

I sold all of my Ventures to try and get over the madness...I skate better on Indy, but have a waaaaay longer history with Venture. Now that I don't have them I am obsessed with giving them another shot.

Edit: ordered a set. IDK why I do this shit.

[imposter]

Recently I've been on down these pair of old 7.5 ventures but I don't know if it's worth the investment

Currently on some struggle that’s also a reoccurrence: the desire to buy boards that are too big, and trucks that are too wide.
Let’s see if this still doesn’t work.

Yeah, my 'trick' board is a 9 inch 90s shaped tired deck, which I love, but I do wanna go a big old fatty for big slappies and dumb tricks in ditches.  Been looking at the GGI boards but don't really love em, and the Dogtown Big Foots but not totally sold.  Dunno, would love a Krooked Phantom, but i'm not paying that kinda money.

I have two pairs of old 5.0 Ventures (prob mid 2000s) that have been staring me down, debating grabbing a 7.5 or 7.75 for em.

[Paco Supreme]

I’m really curious to try a Doom Sayers shovel board, but it’s half an inch shorter then that current boards i skate and don’t want it to feel stubby and weird

It depends.. What board do you ride? And wheel size?
