how's the quality of alltimers tees and hoodies?

[Paco Supreme]

How thick are FTC hoods?

I’m a big fan of their camp hats, but I’ve been eyeing a green sweatshirt and wanna know if it fits more thrasher or FA

[wuust]

been eyeing some nm 1010 and nike brsb’s.

how is the fit in both?
have some us9 440’s that fit very snug.

any advice would be appreciated.

A King deck. Anyone skate one yet?

I tried on the brsb’s yesterday, I’d say the fit true to size
I wear 10 in 440s and the 10 in brsb fit good, maybe just a hair more snug.
Haven’t tried on 1010s in a min, but I’m sure they fit similar to 440s

In the 440 I wear a 7.5 with a bit of room in the toes. 508 and 306 had too much room in the toes for me in a 7 and 7.5

Lakai Atlantic I wear a 7.5 too
Emerica Gamma I need a 7
Vans can be everywhere from 7 to 8

I also wear ankle braces

Help.

I have that deck and love it, but it's a mellow tail and I would struggle with it using AF1s.  I rode it for quite a while with Indy Ti 149s, but am now on Thunder Ti 149s and am getting better pop than with the Indy.  I feel like I'd get nothing with the AF1s (that are now sitting here abandoned under my desk).

[swongolianbbq]

Went from forged indys to the Af1s last year. All I skate are flight decks cause it saves me so much $$, I dig the mellow tails but the concave is almost too steep but I'm used to it

I dig the aces, I used to skate bakers with thunders and 51mm wheels so I'm kinda used to the low/quick pop. Spanly skates mellow kicks, aces and 51's and doesn't seem to have a problem with pop. I like the short wheelbase and the turn for sure.

 I've skated cast indys with 56's, forged indys with risers and 58's, cast indys with more risers and 64's, stage 7 146's, thunder lows, thunder highs, venture lows with 44's, etc

Best skating of my life was on thunders but I was also 18

Looking forward to trying venture highs

Just wanna winterize my current setup basically without changing anything

[Easy Slider]

Contemplating trying the Ishod / Worrest 8.3 twin slicks.

[sle_epy]

After two years of COVID skating I've somehow replaced all my cute clothes with skate clothes and now I need an entire off the skateboard female wardrobe reboot. I just turned into a complete skate rat and look like shit or a 12 year old boy 24/7. Disheartening.

[LebowskisRug]

I need to stop buying gear…but..
I really feel like I need to try a westgate-esque setup.

8 or 8.1 mellow deck (maybe a baker or girl), venture 5.2lo hollow light, some old 50mm or smaller f4’s I have.

I’m more so just looking to scratch the itch of an old school 90’s/early 2000’s setup with venture lo’s. Never ridden low trucks and I’m just dying to know how they skate. Fuck me I don’t need more gear/another setup but…

Can anyone give me some feedback or convince me to buy/not to buy this?

.

That's what I skated at FGO back then. Pop wasn't great, but I could low altitude most flip tricks and do a billion manuals on that box. We didn't really turn much and it sucked skating to and from places, but it was really responsive and so easy to pinch and balance grinds on.

[Murge]

Really trying not to buy those cast v-hollow ventures. I don’t skate ventured I usually go between Indy and thunder. I have some 5.6 ventures I just set up on an 8.5 deck to try and curve me wanting 5.8 cast v-hollows. The 5.6 feel super squirrelly to me and I don’t feel the stability people talk about. But damn the pop was nice.

Looking to pick up some F4s in 56mm. Never owned F4s or skated anything bigger that 54s

You will never want another wheel after trying f4.

if the 5.6s feel squirrelly definitely go for the 5.8
made the switch and the difference was immediately noticed
then went up to 6.1 but thats almost beside the point

Glad you said this. Cause now I don’t feel bad that I caved and ordered the 5.8s 303 had.

False.

They are good all around wheels, but SPF are faster in smooth bowls, and Dragons / X-97 are better in crust.

Might be false for you but I'm good with my f4 on all terrain.

[j....soy.....]

I want to try all sorts of stuff....that said, they are arguably the correct answer to all wheel questions.....

[Tom Pearl]

lol was holding out on skate warehouse to have a new years sale but it never happened

been wanting those manderson 5.2 venture lo's for a minute

[Mick]

Also been wanting some 5.2 lows... But I skate 8.25.
Anyone pair them on 8.25 anyway?

303 has a couple sets 5.2Ls with 25% off I think.
@Tom Pearl I don’t see mandersons though

[rawbertson.]

thunders and dragons are the last things on my list at the moment
also a hockey board but w/e dont care much about that as much
just got a bunch of stuff to fulfill madness for awhile. I have basically 2 setups i really really like. just got half cabs and new deck for when the snow melts to skate fresh

gonna probably change my indys for thunders on my 8.5" setup at some point and put dragon wheels on my 9.125" egg setup maybe later.

[jsettle]

Thunders...maybe. Have mainly only ever rode Indy's and recently dabbled with ventures. The ventures i actually didn't hate and just got some of the loose conversion bushings to try them out again. Trying to decide if i should just run the ventures with the loose conversion bushings since the ventures are practically new or try thunders...madness is too real
