Simple things like pushing and then getting your feet back on the tail...a few times my feet went past the tail and onto the ground. Landing tricks, again, back foot too close to the edge of the tail. Im sure you’ll get use to it...i’m just to old to risk a hard fall just to get use to something.

while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

I know they are slightly higher. just wondering if this gives them a 'deeper' turn?

forgot to throw this in hereworkshop 9 inch169 stage 11 standards with stock bushings56mm 99a f4 classics (probably 54's now)jessupheld it up to a 9 inch eagle that i had and its the same dims. this nose is just a typical workshop nose, the eagle seemed to have a slightly more symmetrical nose and tail.
Orange Crusher 9.1 (L33", W15") Jessup gripRicta Clouds 54mm 78aFKD bearings with spacersIndy 169 stage 11 hollowsSomehow i find the 169 stock bushings are way softer than the stock ones in my 159..normally i just tighten the nut just flush with the kingpin, but on this 169,i had to crank em down roughly 1 thread below the top of the kingpin.. the 169 bushings is more of a bright orange compared to the 159s slightly dull orange color.

Close buying this deck many times curious what you’re riding mostly street/tranny/cruise/curbs? those bushing are white, so you switched em out? My 169 std bushings feel soft too but have you broke em in at all?

I had the Girl couch shape before this with Indy's and it seemed too short and squirrely. This WB is 14" so with the Ventures it's perfect almost feels like a 14.25 WB if that makes sense. I like the 6.1's quite a bit once you mess with the bushings a little.

The new Simon board has that 13.87 wb works good with 6.1's!

I have harder bushings in all my trucks and also have to tighten my 169s more than any other truck I've ridden. Even after that, they're still pretty surfy for me. Also noticed they're pretty noisy even after break in and putting some wax in the pivot cups.

jay_nev it definitely feels tighter than my usual setups, but I did a smaller than average wheel for me and wider trucks so it feels pretty stable, also the Danes long tail makes the pop feel light and snappy... not too much leverage required to get tricksjtrpma thanks!Yeah it’s ace 66 perfect fit look
