Gear your contemplating buying?

[Ok]

Current Ace 55 classics are axled up front and will need replacement soon. I have another set of 55 classics, but I'm tempted to try some AF1 55s or some Film 6.0s.

I’ve gone from 44c’s to af1 44’s, and now back tot eh 44c’s. I think it’s more about the width of the deck I’m skating (8.5 ps that I reeeeeeeally like).
My 55c’s and I just don’t quite get along: I have a hard time doing kickflips with em and it bums me out.
I want to give 5.8s another try, but....

My favorite set of trucks ever were my last set of 44 classics. I like the 55s because the longer hangar feels really good on crooked grinds.

I want to really learn crooked grinds, so this is appealing, and the 55c’s look really great. I just tap out at 8.5” boards. After that in width doesn’t do much for me.

Tensor Mag lites for an 8.5 deck...I was looking at the new Aces but the grind on the mag lites is too good and they have to be much lighter than Aces.

A Blind Nassim Lachhab 8.38 x 32.2 x 14.25 with steep kicks and concave. I'm usually not a fan of mid way sizes (8.125 / 8.38) and 8.38 is the widest I've ridden in a year (Real Ishod Twin Tail).

What sized trucks do you prefer with your 8.38 for mostly ledges / rails?

[sketchyrider]

kinda curious about life skateboards after watching the ben degros review. some interesting shapes available, some look more refined than others for sure.

I'm on ace 44 classics on my antihero 8.38 and it's a lot of fun, although I'm not a rail guy at all.

In that case I won't swap up to a Venture 5.8, the weight and added length is what concerns me.

I second this.

Wanting to grab Alexis' Jack Purcell mids. Heard cons has changed sizing since last time I had some, usually run 10 in vans and 10.5 in nike

Seasons x Aesthetics Ryde or Die collab shirt - giving the brand the much needed love

Shirts usually never fit right for my torso, but this shirt is too sick

[moonordie]

I'm really tempted about trying some Campus ADV. Saw some green ones that look really sexyyy

[superleftswipebby]

ave pros are on sale at vans canada. specifically the beatrice model. how are these joints? are they durable?

I've never skated Adidas but these 3st004 with the boost midsole are calling out to me. They're just a stunning looking shoe. Anybody owned a pair? Do they fit tts? Hows the cushioning and support especially in the forefoot? I always feel like Adidas from the ball of the foot to the toe is like walking on a thin piece of cardboard but I would love to be proven wrong.

Really good shoe.
Comfy and durable, you can't go wrong + that colorway is fire.

I've ridden 215s twice this week. So nice. I definitely want a set

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

I'v been contemplating buying Venture 5.6's. I'd sworn off ventures years ago. I've got a extra deck gripped and want to try them out. I always end up going back to indys.

I love the 5.6

I wish I switch earlier. It's the perfect truck in my opinion.

I just got a set of 5.8’s to fuck around on. Never had Ventures and I love em. That being said, I have some Indy Hollows on the way for another deck.

suburban is what i was trying to avoid with the creature logo plastered at the bottom of the deck. a shake junt sticker covering it is kind of a horizontal move if im being generous. do two wrongs make a right?

[Esmith5488]

Torn between grabbing a 8.0 darkroom and the 8.28 mason natas deck. Leaning heavy towards the mason deck since I had a anti hero deck in the same dims a long time ago and it was near perfect. Really it’s just all the talk about dlx shapes being off recently that has me hesitant to order one. Locals don’t have it and I’m not going to the big Z to cop so ordering might be my only choice

You can always ask them to check dimensions before you buy it.

I know there has been this debate before on here, but the logical consensus was any half decent shops should take a second to check a board is the right sizes as marked for a customer if they are polite and not a pain about it.

Yeah your right, I actually have a message thread with one of my locals on Instagram so I can probably just check around to see who reputable has one

Anyone ever fuck with a 33” Quasi deck?



Because I have been skating just the Dane 1 I stood on a 8.5 BBS popsicle and it felt tiny. I have 55 mm spitfire classic F4s and some seasoned 149s that I would like to use again.

I like the ps stix fatty tails and nose. Any one got something similar they like?

This one? Call Skate Warehouse. Almost guarantee they'll check the dims for you. If I can't get something local they're my go-to. They answer the phone/email and are super chill.

Skated one, it measures closer to 32.25" (PS measurements, am I right??) with a long WB and what felt like a very small nose and tail. They taper and aren't squared like the shorter WB Quasis. Not a fan, but that's just me.
