I am pretty regimented and have a strict workout routine. Lost over 20lbs since June. Coming up on my 48th. Thankful I can still roll.

Envious of your garage set up. How big is your space?

It’s a two car garage, older home built in the 50s.
I’m guessing around 30 x 30? It’s enough to keep me skating all year. So wet right now. I can skate flat, or hit my qp then the curb, I also have a bank to wall and a little ledge too.

I just turned 47 and decided to do 47 tricks before work. Everything besides the nollie tre and bad fs flip were on this 9 popsicle.

Both impressive and inspiring. Flipping 9" is no joke especially with larger wheels. Quarter and curb game was especially sick!

Hell ya bud! That's where I wanted to be when we last spoke (failing miserably). Certainly not an easy thing to do at our age..So damn motivating!

Dane 1 boserio graphic
OJ 54 keyframes (87A, remind me of a set of ricta clouds I had 5 years ago)
Ace 55s, stock (Breaking them in like you're supposed - also I'm afraid my size and curb antics will bend them if I tune them. Worst comes to worst I run back to indy)

I now have 3 setups (an 8.5 and an 8.25) in active rotation that are all ~14.1 in wheelbase. I don't mind it. I think I'm converted. Skated a parking block today and worked on 3 shuvs.

Edit: broke the keyframes in, they slide (for noseslides on wet ledges at least). I'm very happy about them

Thanks to everyone’s suggestions I finally got this thing set up. Went with the 149 hollows and 56mm classics and the Santa Cruz rails. Hoping to get a sesh on it after work today or tomorrow during lunch.

It is by far the most usable old school shape I have ever come across. Measurements are great, concave is as well. Unfortunately I do have a lot in the tank for energy/skills atm. But I can still recognize an amazing shape. Someone good could kill it on this shape. The unfortunate thing is that there is little to no chance of finding one (at least for me anyway)

I never had one of those back in the day, so when I saw they were on re release last year (or the year before) I was pretty keen, but never ended up getting one.  They are a bit short for what I usually skate too.

Some things are better looked at for me, as I prefer other boards with different concave anyway, but that graphic is so iconic.

Looks so good set up like that!!!

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

If they did a black/ grey version of that Santa Cruz, I’d be all over it! How is the pop with the slick bottom?

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

I am really tempted to get a slick, we used to have a New Deal slick at our local shop. Someone ended up buying it and I really doubt that the person knew about the slick bottom.

Pop is really good. that wormburner kickflip doesn't show it, but that was just wrong foot placement tbh. When I figured it out the deck popped better than my new 8.3

Anyone skating a 10" Heroin Eyeballer?  I grabbed one of the new Ditch Witch boards which is the same shape, just wondering what trucks would fit best.  I've got 169s, 159s, and some AF1 55s on the bench.  I'm guessing it'll all depend on wheel width in the end, just curious what others are using.

I'm on the Eyeballer.

Have it set up on 169s with 61mm Winkowski OJs and 1/4" risers.

169s fit the front fine and ever so slightly hang over bottom which is 8.5" at it's widest.

If you want ZERO hang over, go 159s.

Edit: Shots of my setup (with 58mm wheels not the 61mm)

Hell yeah, perfect.  Thanks!  I was hoping the 169s would fit just like.

I don't think I ever posted this one, because I just found it in my trunk this morning. Early Christmas because I totally forgot about it. @PuffinMuffin sticker was the icing on the cake. She's awesome.

Great setup! Hjalte’s graphics are always so clean. 161s or 151s? I’m assuming 161.

Thanks man, 161 hollows (that I coincidentally spent an hour looking for the other day) I typically would prefer 8.75 trucks on a 9, but these flip just fine.
