Here’s where I am at with my current setup exploration:
Gonzales Sweatpants 9.81
169 Indys with Bones Hard bushings and 1/8" risers
F4 Conical Full 99A 56mm
Bronson G3
Been skating this setup for a while, both street and bowl. Last change was going up to 56mm Conical Fulls, which has been a mixed bag. Super smooth, fast, and controlled especially on rough ground, however the board is quite draining to pop and really hard to flip. Gives me a lot of confidence, but I can feel my pop fading mid session already.
Crailtap G048 9.25
169 Indys with Bones Hard bushings
F4 Tablets 99A 54mm (down to 52mm)
Bones Swiss
First session on this board today, really enjoyed the short wheelbase and overall shape. Getting a good pop out of it and flips feel more achievable (I suck at flips, but not ready to give up on them just yet). Ordered a set of F4 Conical Fulls 50mm to try on this, hoping they will make it feel even lighter and more direct, for the lack of a better word.
I have this hunch that I might go back to the Jart 9" popsicle when they become available again, but I am really enjoying these different shapes and learning their ins and outs. Also properly exploring wheel shapes and sizes for the first time and F4s with a wide riding surface have been a revelation. Conical Fulls over Tablets so far, but also want to try Radial Fulls.
