speaking of scram... I finally burnt through my rocket 88 (the blue one) and set up a new Fink II. loving the shape, having a usable nose again is great, and the 14.5 wb makes me feel very zoomy compared the the 15 on the rocket. 10" by 31 inches long
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

pictured with ace 66 classics
58mm spit classics
super reds
3/8" risers cut from another board (made by a friend)
1.5" randoms
jessup

However this fucker was WAY too damn tall for me to skate comfortably so I took off the risers, put on some 56mm formula four classics and some old 1" indy bolts I found and my first session was a great one. those risers are gonna go on my zogger for beer runs. sure looked cool though

That’s beautiful. Top pic possible?

dude that shape looks outrageously fun! and I've never once had the urge to skate gullwings before now but they look so sick on that setup. how's the turn?
Not a problem and thanks for the top shot.
@Thom always coming through with the rad setup as well.
Oh if anyones interested, Cowtown is having a sale and they’ve got a few big Scram decks for $50. Link in Sale thread.

bit the bullet and got one of the new Blast decks. now i really wanna try the new wood and set it up as me next board. but i also going on a trip soon and probably rather ride a shape i already know i like and skate the best on when traveling.
so i'm stuck on deciding if i set this up next or just do another Heroin Mutant.

this 9.5 Mutant Smasher is really cool to me casue i absolutely loved the Kaiju inspired figure they did back then and still regret not buying one. aswell as the original and japanese Smahers beeing some of my favorite boardgraphics of them.
and this shape is one they did a couple times before too and i wanted to try it for a while.

Thanx dogs

The pro 3 are a finicky truck… u gotta get a soft bottom duro bushing and a firm top and they work great but are pretty jiggly (which I like)

The trucks and stuff were a gift from a homie which was cool, I like that they’re the height of an Indy with a 1/8 riser

I'm getting really stoked reading old posts about the Dane 1 knowing that mine will be here in a few days. Posting my setup as soon as it's put together... this will be my first ever Xmas complete, haven't been this excited about building a setup in a while.

Have you been able to ride it yet?

Been considering one for a while now and finally got it in a New Years sale. Hyped on the color as well.

anyone held or skated that SC Salba Tiger hand that was posted a little bit ago? Dims on it look good.

It’s very similar to the girl couch shape. Couldn’t tell
Much difference.

I've been riding some monster setups lately and wanted to share them here. The daily driver is the Alva Abstrakt on Indy 215s with the 88a Alva conicals/bones swiss/quarter riser. The deck is 33” x 11” x 16" wb. It has just enough nose to ollie around things, but lifting 215s is a workout for sure. It's not a very original setup, mostly just a copy of how I've seen the Abstrakt set up on TA's Instagram. Overall, it's a really fun cruise ship on vert with a very surf inspired feel. I'll usually swap in the 60mm Bones 84b wheels to keep the speeds high. The 88a Alva conical is in their ditch formula which is great for the southern crud roads I ride daily.

The other setup is the Alva Millennium deck (9.75 x 33.75 x 15.5" wb) on Indy 169 hollows, I'll usually set this one up more for park stuff but I swap wheels between both decks fairly regularly. Both ride very similar, the Millennium just has more nimbleness and performance to it IMO.

I rarely see these decks being ridden online, let alone in my local park, but everyone really digs them when they see them and wants to try the setup out. The hand screened art is also really cool, almost to the point I don't want to thrash these decks.

How are you liking the super long tail on the Grosso?

I went and splurged on a set of new 169s and a 9” orange eagle. I already had wheels and bearings lying around, so what else was I to do?
I put my 57mm radials on there. Can’t wait to wear them down a little, cause they’re giving me lil’ lovebites.
Finally I feel like I’m standing on a skateboard for adults. The extra wheelbase and room in the tail allows for a wider stance that I like.

I have Ace AF166s on my Dane and I've never had any issue with the 9" axle. I like a little magic carpet so I'd be fine with an 8.75" axle too.
I'll be 48 this year so the Dane1 is right up my alley... old school-ish shape with modern concave etc makes me happy.
Plus I love the short wheelbase.
Hopefully you enjoy the board as much as I do!

That looks like really good fun!


Is that one normal (modern) concave or the old flat with only a slight tail / nose kick?

Some I had stood on felt so clunky but the look of that with what seems like modern concave seems like it would work well.

Not a worry either way, but I know a lot of others have something like that in the original no concave variety, which seem better on a wall than under my feet, but that is just me.

Gone since 1988.  I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Yep modern mold. Nice concave and little kicked up nose

Have fun with your Dane1! It's a super fun board and got most of my skate time last summer. Iset up mine with Ace Classic 55s and Conical Fulls 54mm. Next wheels will be Keyframe 56mm because I'm more into cruising with it.

First Session was amazing, couldn’t believe how well it flips for such a big Board with an oldschool-ish shape (even though that’s what everyone said and that’s why I bought it)

it's weird man, tbh. i am having trouble getting used to putting the foot so far back but still having my front foot correctly planted. it's bad ass for cruising town though, fun as hell to manual on

i sat on thought on it for weeks too before i pulled the trigger, really happy i did it. it's crazy how versatile it is. i can surf it and slide it, it's a slappy monster with plenty of foot room on the nose and a nice compact tail

I’m too much of a coward to step to a 9+ but I woke up today and all I wanted to do was skate my Passport spade, (8.8 I think) and it was a great time, recently put some Oski radials on it from OG Classics and it skates like a dream.

The stub nose makes things trickier but it felt great when the Ollie’s leveled out like normal
