Okay so I just got my sister a new setup (Steve Cab chinese dragon, green rats, nose bone, tail bone, pig rails.) and the indys I got were.. just a tad bit to long for her board. So I'm wondering, would anyone like to trade their barely used indy 169s for my barely used 215s? We put them on, and rode them for maybe 5 minutes, they are still practically brand new.
Also, how would one go about putting on a tail bone without access to a drill XD (drills broken)

And yeah, I'm dreading the fact that we probably won't be able to ride both of our decks and just keep one set up. :'(
ok..... go to a hardware store.. bring the machine screws that came with the tailbone and show em to the guy or gal.. (if shes hot..hopeful she wont have any idea what a tailbone is) and tell em you want woodscrews about that size to hand screw into a 7ply deck. bring the board and the tailbone..seriously..show em..its thier job to help you.. and he may even screw em in for you..hopefuly its a hot girl that somehow works at the local ace hardware..if it is.. take a picture of her screwing the tailbone on for me..and post it A.S.A.P.
Say, If I found wood screws that were about the same size as the bolts that come with the tailbone, couldn't I just screw those in like the same way you put on rails?
Yeah I pretty much only ride old school boards now (Powell Peraltas are the best) I just think its alot more fun then riding the new "popsicle" boards. Plus I don't really like the skateboard scene today, back then It was all about having fun, and now it seems kids today have forgotten what it's all about.
this kid..is destened for greatness..... well said mini-cubicle...very well said.
yeah.. unfortunatly thats what i see alot of myself. but... on the flipside (waiting for the onslaught of disagreement)
we have progressed "quite a bit" and we wouldnt have the number of parks we have today if skateboarding wasnt as "socialy acceptable" as it is today. being a skateboarder in the 80's was like... being a greaser in the 50's. only with neon shirts instead of biker jackets... there was no promisie of a real carreer or money..unless you were among the "VERY" few.. ex: hawk,hosoi etc.. and we didnt care.... but. as long as you skate for fun..youl always have it. youl have it for the rest of your life.. and you cant buy "fun" ........at least not until it come out on DVD on skateone.com
Anyways it looks like the tail bones are gonna have to wait until I get my hands on a working drill. Oh well.
if you still have the Indy 215s, I'll trade ya a set of barely used Indy 166s;
the hangar's as long as the 169s, the axle's just a hair shorter (from when
they stopped making 69s for a time) - they're actually on the stage 9 169
baseplate, with medium bones bushings. They've got a couple of grinds in,
but nothing major. I've actually been looking for another pair of 215s to
replace the ones my buddy "borrowed" off of me (then gave away on a trade
of his own!)
anyway, if interested, lemme know: sk8boardld@yahoo.com or here
if not, no worries
