great forum, been a lurker for awhile and now finally posted. would love to share what im riding and would love to see what others are rideing as well.
my current complete is a mini logo 171 with thunder 149 highs, powell mini rat 93a's and powell ceramic's. im 38 years old and love to ride this complete down at the park with my 16 year son and the other younger skaters, with there super hard wheels with flat spots they cant beleave how quiet and fast this board is.
My Quiver: Black Label Lucero/Indy 149's/58mm SPF's Black Label Top Shelf Brew Deck/Indy 149's/56mm The Greek SPF's Peralta Hipster/Indy 149's/56mm SPF's Ray Bones (8.375 width)/Indy 149's/Chris Miller 60mm SPF's
These are my park and ramp decks. I Also have 37 inch Gravity diamond tail flex rider, Krooked Zip Zinger for carving and cruisin and an 8 inch shop deck for street trickery!
yeah, I have got to start getting with the times & figure out how to post
pics, fwd stuff, etc. Anyway, I've got a few completes that I go to on a
regular basis:
hot rod flames, redrilled holes to lengthen tail & shorten nose (which I sand
down some a hair), Indy 169 trux, bones hard bushings, 64mm pf bowl bombers
for smooth crete, 64mm 95a bowl bombers for ruff stuff
graffitti ripper, old indy 165mm hangers on new baseplate, bones med bushings,
spf 60mm
peralta hipster/ray bones (switch decks off), ace 44s (suck), 58mm dtfs for
real small terrain
powell peralta rose bones, indy 169 trux, bones med bushings, 85a 68mm Bowl
bombers for lansdowne
(used) landyachtz evol/bear trucks/monster hawg wheels for downhillin'
sector 9 cloud 9 pintail, tracker darts, bones soft bushings, Goddess of Speed
wheels (slow) for cruisin/carvin'
sector 9 discontinued flag model (38 x 9.5), tracker darts, bones soft bushings,
85a 68mm powell bowl bombers for barefoot sidewalk surfin
rockin rons bearings in all of 'em, he's a pal of mine, & his bearings are
definitely fast as #%$%
ok I got em all together today mounted or not for one big family pic! left to right: Krooked Zip Zinger, Endless Grind Shop Deck, BL Jeff Grosso, Five Points Custom, Ray Bones Now (8.375), Gravity Diamond Tail, Buttons Hawaii Long Board. On Floor: Peralta Hipster, Krooked Mark Gonzales Art. All boards have Indy's as they rule all, and Bones Wheels for the same reason except Gravity has Satori's cause they rock the carving and hills and shop deck has Autobahn cause I had em lying around and there small for street stuff. The orange wheels on the Zip Zinger are a dyed set of Bones experimental wheels that are like 80a and rock for slaloming cones and 70's style skating!
