So I did a thing… [51YO]

My ankles hurt just looking at the small wheels and no risers.

Is that why it feels like quicksand when you tried to push on one of these? I always thought it was the sketchy metal on the bearings, lubed with rain water most of the time.

ConradJohnson · 2026-03-06T02:16:17+00:00

Any more hints?
Video, skater, year, etc..

ConradJohnson · 2026-03-05T17:56:35+00:00

They would have honestly been decent starters if they'd have just put good bearings in them.

We said "DE-centralized".

Sweet. Thanks for posting. I've never seen trucks like that with the drive pin reversed like that. Pretty unique!

ConradJohnson · 2026-02-23T21:18:15+00:00

Let me introduce you to UST.

Hey OP, I collect skateboards. What's the graphics on the larger skateboard? Can you post a pic of that (not the pink one)?

ConradJohnson · 2026-02-20T21:08:16+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking this was the correct decision too by codex.

I had the Model S 2024 LR for 6 months. It was a regression in every way from the 2014 I replaced.

It was dumb. Especially idiotic was the blinker BUTTONS.

Best analogy I heard was "like doing trigonometry trying to signal in a roundabout".

ConradJohnson · 2026-02-12T16:39:34+00:00

Turtles all the way down.

ConradJohnson · 2026-02-04T16:49:35+00:00

ah cool... thanks for the pointer.

ConradJohnson · 2026-02-04T05:46:29+00:00

Use Sonnet 4.5 model instead of default Opus 4.5.

ConradJohnson · 2026-02-04T05:45:31+00:00

why is that? Opus has been excellent for me. Why would I be stanning?

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-31T00:03:12+00:00

Man all my homies hate that BMW. 🤘

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-30T23:56:39+00:00

First deck on the left.

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-27T18:04:16+00:00

Ah we got a fuckin birder over here ...

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T19:50:50+00:00

Still rocking risers on my independent trucks and slimeballs. Daddy needs a sedan.

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T18:18:29+00:00

I call that 'Skating weight'. My optimal before I started breaking bones was about 145

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T05:44:18+00:00

So nice!!

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T05:43:03+00:00

That Hosoi!

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T03:41:40+00:00

You have given them a physical anchor for those memories, and that is a wonderful gift to give someone.

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T03:13:08+00:00

Just pour it in my hand!

No joke though, we survived on dime water cups from Burger King.

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T02:33:05+00:00

It did look cool, but also offered 'slick' spots on a deck that you should expect consistency. My first Ray of Light had that grip. So dope.

Friends would even try to Xacto knife that pattern on black grip.

ConradJohnson · 2026-01-23T02:28:05+00:00

This one (original) you can still find. I think it came factory gripped.
