The majority of my 9 inch quiver.
169s w/ 92a Indy bushings, bones and risers on all of them.
Got a digital torque wrench after 20 years of using the finger feeling the kingpin/nut tightening system so ALL my trucks turn the same regular or fakie.
Sneakysecrets... I ride them all. Usually three/four a day depending on the session/spots/time I have to skate. I don’t spend to much time learning new shit at 36 so it doesn’t fuck me up too much. If I don’t like a board i skate it as much as possible just to get rid of it. I try not to waste them. No focusing either. Shit is wack. I didn’t see your PM for months after you askedx sorry for the late reply
Edit:sorry new to imgur don’t even know how doom posted the link
Amazed by all of this, but in particular, the 169s across the board. If they all ride really differently, it says that I should stop staying that truck size is the biggest factor in how a setup will feel.
I think I remember that this is just a portion of the quiver. Is this your preferred size range? I repeat myself a lot (I’m older), and one of my repeated mumblings is that I love how big boards look, and feel, but get bummed when I can’t kickflip etc. Are some of these flippers?
I have so many more questions
Yeah just a portion of my quiver, let’s say 20%.
This is for sure my preferred size range now as I’ve gotten older but I started out on a 8 in 1997. 8.38 has been my “normal” size for they last decade but I’ve had a fish shaped big board since before I was riding 8+ again.
8.25 popsicle, zig zagger, zip zinger, and a moose fish shape blank (I painted a skull on it even tho it wasn’t 1989 anymore) with trackers that didn’t turn and g bones. That was my quiver in my early 20s.
I’ve been skating sporadically the last two years cuz of work/life drama but I’ve kickflipped them all except that heroin, natas, and old yeller shaped AH. Not cuz I can’t, I don’t think, I just haven’t tried yet.
As far as feel goes...for sure they all feel different even tho I stick to a certain formula for my big boards. Bigger the board smaller the wheel.
The natas is like an 80s setup with bigger wheels even tho they’re F4s. Everything else is in the 50-54mm range, mostly. A lot have 51s since they didn’t have 50mm when they launched and that’s when I got most of them.
Square tails like p/reissue SCs and that moose are totally different when it comes to popping. I gotta move my back foot forward a little bit to get any pop on those long ass tails. I haven’t had a bbs board with a tail like that they all seem to be modern feeling if you understand me, lol.
I’m not good at most flip tricks. No frontside flips, inward/outward shit, switch shit, nollie. I’ll throw out a 360flip if I battle it but I hate that.
I grew up skating ledges but I’m not flipping in and out like Owen Wilson
