Super hyped the 1992 is back as well. I thought they were gone forever.

Are Thunder 161's 52.3mm high? Tactics says 49mm but it makes no sense with narrower trucks listed as 52.3

Also if anyone has the weight of 161 hollow lights that'd be awesome

Standard are listed as 53mm according to Thunder

Sorry I can't help you with weight but maybe @yourbreakfsat knows? Tactics is usually right when they list weight I think because it's a shipping calculation thing.

OK so based on the 19ish gram difference between the standard 151 and 161s, I would guess you could safely add between 15-20g to the Hollow Light weight on the 151s. Still likely the lightest 9.125" truck out. Also the height on the Hollow Light 161s is 52mm.

310g, but I grounded down the hanger a bit and there's no nuts, washer, or bushings. If I had to guess, the original weight is around 315g.

Copied from the WBSWB thread, but thought they might be of interest to people here as well.

Not sure if posted yet but these fancy lad Bigzo decks are 9.0” x 32.25” with 13.75” wheelbase. I’m obsessed.

You had me with the green eagle there.

But really, that is crazy they are 13.75 wb.  I was wondering how long the kicks were, but as per the listing, it is 9 x 32.25 with a 6.75 tail and a 7.5 nose.  * I could drill out the nose to make it a more normal feel quite easily too.

The other big board on their site has 14.75 wb (which could easily be drilled down) but I was wondering if you had seen or tried that one at all?

First time skating the Krooked sweatpants shape.  Very enjoyable.

I was going to ask about the rest of it, but thought I could check over old posts.

Found this from not too long ago - those Radial Full wheels look really good on 169s on a bigger board too!

Thanks @PuffinMuffin for the excellent Slap stickers!

Been skating on and off since the late 90’s and this is my first Chocolate/Girl board.  Wanted to give this shape a shot.  It would probably work better with 159s but I want to keep rocking with this set of 169s on all of my main setups until they’re axeled.

That's a monster truck and I love it

Good detective work haha.  Yeah, same rest of the setup.  The radial fulls are terrific.  Happy to see Spitfire putting out more in the newest drop.

Damn. snapped right throught the rail and all.
nice you got another one of those decks. i shouldve gotten one i guess. how is skating transition with one rail? i've seen some clips of you on their insta, doesn't is feel weird on disasters and stuff?

[close]

No, disasters still work the same as before.
But feeble grinds and smith grinds are a lot easier since you lock in a lot easier.


I think it's mainly a habit though. Can't go back to a board without rails and two rails make the board just too slick.


When it comes to the board I have to say that it is my favourite board of all time. The graphic is simple, yet it comes in different stains. The shape is simply perfect for my skating and the wood is very high quality

saw someone ride one of those Nonconform decks you got there in Belgium last weekend. first time seeing one in real life (besides the prototype at the woodshop). it looks even better in real life, nose is bigger then i thought too wich is nice. would be nice if they did another run of those someday. maybe difrent color stains.

anyway. i'm thinking of giving one rail a try on my next setup. been curious about that for a while now.

My wife just gave birth to our daughter on January 2nd (who I love so so much) so I have been doing no skating lately. Just getting used to being a parent. For a little bit I thought I was probably not going to skate again for a very long time. It was really nice this past Saturday and when my new born was sleeping my wife watched a show and I got a quick 20 minutes out back. I'm someone who needs to skate 3-4 times a week to feel normal, but that hasn't been an option lately. It's been rough out back so I had to sweep just to not hit too many rocks and sticks and stuff. I didn't want to spend my entire window sweeping the entire thing so I spent 10 minutes sweeping half of it. I filmed these really quick which was confusing for the angle then I had way more fun when the phone was away. Here's just a couple quick tricks while I get used to the new set up.

Congrats man, I just had my first daughter 8 months ago on top of adopting my wife's 2 year old. Not gonna lie, the lack of sleep is rough, and stays rough. People are telling me it starts getting much easier when they're around 4 and potty trained/sleep all night.

As for skating, I got back into it specifically because it's much less time consuming than mountain biking (was my primary hobby). You can hop on your board in the driveway at any time. Bring your board to work and skate at lunch.

I have that same deck as my cruiser on Venture 5.8's. Good luck with dad life.

Congrats to both of you. Dad life is amazing and intense all at once! Love the new setup as well.

4 year olds - easier at night as they can actually tell you what's up, but way crazier by day. It's like having a mini wrecking ball in the house!

Also mine went through a random sleep regression at like 3 years old where he'd stay awake till like 4am and the only way i could get him to bed was by watching Bob Ross on YouTube. What started as a joke got old really quick!

[jsettle]

Congrats on the kid! I had my 2nd daughter 7 months ago and i also got the same feeling thinking i wasnt going to skate again as much as i did before when she was first born then i just had to adapt and find time that worked good for me and my family. I actually never really skated and night and not have become a full night time skater and go on sessions once the baby and 6 year old fall asleep and i actually end up skating the same amount as i did before the 2nd kid. I think you will find your groove and it all works out somehow for balancing being a rad dad and still getting the sessions in.

Been rockin this at the indoor for the past couple weeks. The Polar Dane1 is the most fun skateboard I've ridden - I'm on my third one!



Polar Dane1 with Mob Grip
Ace AF1 66s with Krux K5 Kingpins (Stock Bottom bushing, Indy Super Soft White top)
Bones 56mm V6 99a STFs (RollerSurfer)
Bronson G3s
Homemade UHMW rails 🤓

One of the most fun boards for sure.
I'm saving mine for spring/summer asphalt and can't wait to skate it. I put Aces and super juice minis on mine.

Has anyone skated that Uma FARK shape that the Roman is in? 8.9"? trying to discern a measurement over trucks. Thanks.

Scram dropping new boards soon

Lots of fucked up shapes though...was just hoping for a normalish 9" deck

[TastyBurrito]

I want to like Scram (boards wise, team wise – they kick ass) but some of their shapes are just too out there for me.

You made my day! I’m almost out of the Cinex shape(JL pools). Bought about 14 of them once I found out they stopped that shape and I’m down to 3. Just a heads up it’s listed as an 8.8 but in actuality it’s a 9. Try it, not a crazy shape and fully functional for tech shit if that’s your thing.

The macmillen shape looks amazing

yes! that one's looking good. i know it's diffrent but it gives me Gravedigger vibes.
also liking that Tripples, looks like a horrible shape function wise. but it just looks cool.

sadly i'll probably never get Scram since i can't ever find them over here.

Has anyone skated that Uma FARK shape that the Roman is in? 8.9"? trying to discern a measurement over trucks. Thanks.

I had a look at a few pics and did the copy / paste comparison from widest point to the bolts (can send you a pic if needed) but I think it is maybe 8.75 or more at the front bolts and about 8.5 or a bit more at the back trucks.

Compared to some other boards, it didn't look like it tapers in much at all so you probably could still run Ace classics on it easily enough.


I put up the board pic in the Woodshop thread anyway, as it is a good example of BBS hologram sticker and alt warning sticker too.
