I just set up this Blockhead Streetstyle as a slappy / cruiser. Pretty crazy to ride, as theres no weight in the nose and the tails kinda long, its super light to get the wheels up. It's super light in general, as it's kinda small. These were originally made in 1986 and were one of the first boards to have a 'long nose'. Kinda looks like a bart simpson / comic book version of a skateboard, and I love it. Shits flat as a tack, so it's a trick staying on with slappies, but it kinda makes it more fun. They only made 31 of the pink, 62 in total.
Spitfire F4 97a Classics, 56mm - Love em! Been looking for a wheel that feels like a hard wheel thats a touch more forgiving
Indy Stage 10 149s - been a while since i've ridden anything but 169 Indys and while these turn a bit slower, which might be a stage 10 thing, but anyway, theyre good. It's nice to have a new truck to grind. Had these sitting around for 10 years, good to use em.
