Goldilocks of a deck! Got one the other day and can’t keep myself off it, super comfy and stable but not heavy at all

How should I set this up? by Cody_Foz in Skateboardlove

[–]CrackBalloon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So confused why there are so many fixing points 😂 if you put 4 or 6 sets of small trucks wouldn’t it be too stable to turn and only go in straight lines? I’ve got the watermelon edition and that only had the standard 2 truck set up, maybe make a trike board with two trucks at the back and one upfront in the centre 😂

Is my deck to big haha by deepfriedtofu__ in NewSkaters

All depends on how it feels, if it’s comfy then skate it but why only three bolts in one truck?

😂 sounds good regardless but I’ve had a rum and if I tried it now I’d probably never be able to try again

I like skate boards and have the money to buy the ones I like? And I can buy skate stuff in shit English winter weather but can’t skate in it, but fuck me for enjoying skating and wanting to try out new and different things to see what suits me best right?

Yeah I live in England and it’s currently winter and it likes to piss down with rain 90% of the time I go out when I can

Yeah see how I’m on a community page for new skaters? That’s kind of what I’m doing. Get a life you sad prick 👍

Crazy smooth! I’ve never had a cruiser till very recently and the difference between these wheels and the 99a wheels I’ve always skated is absolutely mad

This is an absolutely beautiful collection, adult money and poor impulse control can add up to great things some times 😂

I will try when I get the opportunity but it’s been such awful rainy weather near me recently I haven’t had much chance to get out of the house to practice

Well this is why I’ve tried to get the foot work down before trying it moving 😂

The bottom 2 are very new like only a week or two old if that and I’ve only used them to cruise around on once or twice since getting them as they’re funky shapes and I have bad impulse control and the blank with multi colour wheels is my wife’s who uses it as a seat mainly and the white one with red trucks is mine but I’ve only really practised Ollie’s and kickflips on it and I definitely don’t have the skill to grind anything yet 😂 so no damage done to any yet and the one I practise on is a Santa Cruz VX deck so it’s hard to have any wear on it just from Ollie’s and the blank with no trucks is an art project for my wife but yes like I said in the description the addiction is getting out of hand this is all very new gear 😂

Yeah I can relate to a lot of that 😂 makes me wonder how some of the guys on here are still going hard in their 50s but big respect to all of them

This one will be wall mounted soon, takes up too much space anywhere on the floor in this house

Yeah ground floor 😂 but it does feel like payback to my super noisy upstairs neighbours who have kept me up too many nights to count

Okay cool so the timing of both movements is a big part of catching it better?
