Thanks man! They are Bones I stole off my wife's cruiser (that she doesn't use) they don't slide for shit. My only other option is some 44 boardycakes or some 55 spits.. idk if I like either of those options.

[Bensquirts]

Just purchased the Antihero Beach Bum board as a birthday present to myself... Anyone on here ridden this one?  Really stoked on the shorter wheel base.

I think it depends on the stuff you skate. I have a curb/lazy day setup with 48mm F4 classics. But I never figured out if smaller or bigger wheels are better for curbs?
Alhough the smaller ones are more fun (for me).

I wouldn't know because the closest curb for me is an about an hour away  I would love to try the 44s as I progress with slappys..because the slappy world is pretty new to me.

Damn, you basically justified a third board for me by saying that. I had this setup in mind that I wouldn’t really need (Heroin 10" egg, Ace 77, 50mm F4) but now I know it’s going to be my lazy day setup.

Scram Bomber 10 * 31.75
Ace 66s old version
September Wheels
Reds
Welcome Candy Bar



So I just got done with my first lunch session on the bomber and I have to say it's a very good board.
Similar to the BlackLabel Board (Lance Mountain guest board) I skated before this.

I even managed to do all the tricks pretty quickly that I was afraid of losing because of the short nose.

Love this one.

[GBLange]

^ That shape looks rad.  Nice long nose and tail.

Stoked to finally get my hands on a Very Big Egg.  Even more rad that it's a guest board for Ira.

Anyone tried the Girl loveseat shapes in 9 or 9.25 with Aces? I'm thinking on putting my AF1 66 on one of those, but would the the axles stick out too much on the 9" deck?

[close]

66's will stick out way too far on the loveseat imo. I tried 55's on it and I knew it wouldn't work without even skating it. Ventures and Indy both work great if that helps.

[close]

Thanks, but how about Aces on the 9.25.I believe, it is called the couch shape.

[close]

I'm not sure bud I have never skated the Couch shape. I forgot to mention both 8.5 and 8.75 trucks work great on the loveseat.

[close]

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I'm going with the 9.25" couch shape and 9"  Ace trucks.

[close]

No problem bud..make sure you report back

Got my couch shape board today and had a little sesh with it. Was too tired to skate more than 15mins today but first impression was very quick turns and squirrely ride. I had to be super careful lifting my nose since it comes up very quickly with Aces. Still, I got used to controlling my board  quickly since I'm already used to shorter setups. I also skated a 14.5wb board (also with Aces) this week and it felt amazing on the 6 foot miniramp I usually skate.Now I can't decide which setup I like more, but I think I will stick with the longer board for now. Btw, the 9.25" couch shape and Af1 66s (9") fit perfectly width wise.

Can anyone chime in on what the supply situation of these is? Didn’t fully understand the info in yesterday’s Heroin live feed on Insta. Are these sold out with minimal online appearance, or were the ones out there early bird sales with the majority of decks hitting stores after the catalogue drops on Monday? I desperately want to try this shape and missed out on the original Bigger Egg.

There were shipping delays getting the decks to most of the shops, the ones you're seeing out in the wild came from shops that got their orders on time. When the catalog drops, the direct to consumer sales start, so they're holding it back to allow the shops that had their orders delayed a chance to get the boards and sell them, before the distributor starts competing with them.

What do you think of the 161s. I am upping to a 9inch deck. It will be them or the Indy 169s hollow forged.

I can chime in before 144p gets on here.. I have 161 hollows on a 9" Polar pop and 9.5 shaped decks and they are amazing. I believe They are my first set of Thunders in 30 something years of skating so I didn't know what to expect. I did have to swap the bushings out for 94's because I'm about 210 lbs. Great pop and they make flipping big setups a lot easier for my old tired legs.

[jay_nev]

yeah rode 161's today and can't get down with the swirliness of the stock bushings. even had an ace top in. need harder thunder replacement bushings for sure. I also just don't really like the type of turn they offer either though

Jay do you run risers with them? I disliked how these "dive" into a turn(wheel bite) with no risers and with stock bushings. But when I added 1/8" risers with harder bushings it was game on.

You skated 151s @jay_nev ? If so how do the 161s compare?

yes risers. Haven’t been able to find harder Thunder replacement bushings. Kinda gave up.
@Frank and Fred a year or so go I don’t really remember it being too different just wider

This board is super fun. Obviously nothing more tech than kick flips is happening, but it's got the feeling you want from an egg board and the money bumps and green dip look sick

great set up and thanks for the carpet shot. I try to posts all my set up photos on a Persian Rug, so I appreciate it.

Had this one gripped for a bit (not my finest grip job), finally set it up.

Compared to the last bunch of boards posted here, this is bland af. However, after trying some different shapes I wanted to fuel my renewed love for flat, manuals, and ledges by going popsicle again. To celebrate the occasion, I went all in with Titaniums and a fresh set of Bones Swiss. This is the most luxurious board I have ever set up.

Jart Multipla 9" (going Heroin popsicles after this)
Indy 169 Titanium
F4 99a Classics 52mm
Bones Swiss
Indy cylinder 92a bushings (not sure about these)
Indy hardware
Mob grip

That's a wicked nice setup what's the dimensions on that deck bud?

[144p]

A bit late on the response but thunder 161 are great, had to put dlx super Cush 94a barrel bushings on as the stock thunder are way too soft for my frame.
If you ride over 54mm you’re gonna need risers.
