Crailtap has the 2 for 80 deal going with griptape and free shipping. They have the 9.12 phawt shape and the 9.2t couch shape available to pick...thinking of snagging one of each for the deal. Thought id share if anyone is interested in those 2 shapes!
Good looking out!
I’d skin my knee and palms so bad on my buddy’s jump ramp with that thing.

I just set up this lovely beast here, and that shape is no longer available, so I’m already looking for my next.
I’ve been eyeing this for sometime now, and never thought that I’d purchase an Alien 2.0.
But here I am, semi-bonered over this canuck flagged beauty.
Is it the same wood as the 2000s era Alien?
I was a big fan back then…

Not sure, but BBS is great so I’m sure I’d be happy.
Thanks!!

EDIT: @darkthrone please put out that last DMODW shape again; thanks!!

Black Label punk point still has life, but I wanted a more square tail. Might set up the BL again later down the line.




Dogtown Tschoff Karma 'Puppet' Deck 9.625" x 32.375" with 14.5-15" adjustable wheelbase (set at 14.5")

Independent Standard 159s with IKP baseplate set, 92a top bushing and 90a bottom bushing

Powell Peralta Dragon Formula 56mm 93a V6

Bones Super Reds Ceramics

Independent x Slayer 1" hardware

Rib Bones

Jessup Ultra


For those interested in the Dogtown 90s reissue series, for whatever reason the shorter wheelbase holes were drilled by hand. They still work as usual, but the drill job is ugly and rough.

just dont want to size up past 8.75 axles
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

I think this is another Dream Girl shape. The dims are just ever so slightly off but I barely measure over 9" on the Adored Dream Girl I have. I wonder why this is the third one from as many companies this year when it used to be a JK exclusive? The only common thread is BBS, though that's not confirmed for the Uprise deck. Also I totally get that maybe I am the only one who gives a shit but it's my favorite eggish 1991/2 shape. The graphic on this one is pretty dope too.

Sure does look nice, especially from the top view.





I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

from the middle of the rear truck holes, the width is 8.75 almost on the dot.
from the middle of the closer truck holes up front it looks like 9.75, and if you did the longer 14.5 WB, sacrificing some of the nose, it'd be just a little smaller than that. Hope you get one, I'm not a Powell fan particularly as much as I am a Frankie Hill fan but it's been so sick to ride. Here was my first session on it at a nearby pump track

It’s so fun riding reissues. Have always wanted to ride a Powell Vallely. That Hill looks super sick

Hopefully the skate gods can forgive me for this setup:

Curren Caples 9.0”
Tensor mag lights
Spitfire F4 55 mm classics

Couldn’t resist trying the mag lights for curbs.  Anyone have any experience with Tensors? What’s up with the stock bushings and pivot cups?

Yep - the 8.5” size ones.  Going to skate them for the first time today

I'm sure you have a feel for the trucks now but just a heads up, I bent the shit out of mine doing slappies. I never had an issue with the 5.5s but my 5.75s did not hold up. Hangers still have a ton of life left in them too.

Just ordered the new double drilled Heroin mutant. Still wondering if I should go with the 14.6 or 14.1 wb. I like the 14.6 wb on my other mutant but 14.1 sounds like it'd be fun.

Oh yeah - I’m pretty much operating under the assumption that I’ll bend the shit out of them doing slappies too! 

Overall though I’m pretty impressed by the trucks.  The turn isn’t that noticeably inferior to Indy and the grind is obviously really good.  I thought I’d try them for a session or two then get bummed on them and go back to Indys but I’ve been pleasantly surprised and plan to keep running them till they bend.

Anyone know when Tensor will be releasing the 6.0 Mags?   Seems like a lot of people are riding prototypes in various YouTube videos.

Just set up a heroin craig questions board , do bigger boards feel soggy ? Feels like this board doesn’t have much pop or is it the softer wheels ? Otherwise love da big board and short wheelbase.

soft wheels definitly feel more soggy.
it shouln't be the deck. could also have to do with the weight making it heavier to lift so you might pop lower than you expect yo. youll get used to that. but my bet is the wheels if they're softies.

Is it a dipped board?
Ive had some dipped decks from Heroin with which I’ve experienced varying degrees of the “soggy” feel. Some more so than others, for whatever reason. I stopped thinking about it and was still able to enjoy those decks.
