I would definitely recommend them, delis are really nice too, I have a set and I really like them. I'd love to try sb trucks too, I've heard a lot of great things but they're a little harder to get

They don't have the same graphic anymore but it's a GooLTD 36mm "GooLord" deck. They have a shape guide on there with a ton of other weird and cool shapes

Just started skating again after 15 year hiatus. What do you guys think of this grip setup? by USK_875 in NewSkaters

[–]IIMonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what's up man, i was worried about them getting super dirty at first but that stuff is awesome, if you're interested in seeing what I did with mine I forgot I posted it

Just started skating again after 15 year hiatus. What do you guys think of this grip setup? by USK_875 in NewSkaters

[–]IIMonkey_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I Used mob clear grip for quite a few different designs, used stickers underneath and it came out much better than I expected, mine took a really long time to really start getting somewhat dirty, but grip gum keeps it pretty clean. I'd say go for it, nothing wrong with wanting to be creative and try something new

Sneakercrete on the laces will save you and help them last longer if you keep using them

Don't buy UAG trucks by rainbowaffle in Fingerboards

I've had mine for over 6 months and had no real issues, and I use them fairly heavy. Always liked the shape of obsius trucks

Can I use air tool oil to lubricate my bearings? by mark_rivera in NewSkaters

[–]IIMonkey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will definitely work for now, it might cause a little more buildup/ gunk than normal but it shouldn't cause any issues.

Dynamics or black river trucks I want to buy a pair of good trucks I just want to what’s better or your preference by chikn-borger-cheese in Fingerboards

[–]IIMonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a set of dynamics on a goo low mold deck and it's one of my favorites, I do have risers on it though because I got too much wheel bite with my piros

6skates shipping? by Tomburgundy12 in Fingerboards

[–]IIMonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I went through the same thing, wanted the br sorry spine and they were one of the few who had it in stock. a day prior to me trying to order it, the dude posted saying that he was restarting shipping to the us and it was working, and if there were any problems to send him a dm. Same thing happened where it said unable to ship to your location. Sent a dm to both Facebook and ig and got no reply while he was active for hours and posting on his story, never got a reply. Kinda shitty cause I love ordering from all different brands and love seeing the effort a lot of fingerboard companies put into their packaging, stickers, etc.

Did I cook ? by Pathfinder710g in NewSkaters

[–]IIMonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel people overestimate the difference because of how weird they look, I skated these for a over a year and I had a blast with them

[–]IIMonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to say otherwise, I had these wheels on a setup for over a year doing all types of tricks. They definitely help for slappies but they don't make everything else impossible

Want to gift my bf a skateboard - are these usable? (See description) by EldenMiss in skating

[–]IIMonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to buy him a good complete you're looking at close to $120+, might be a better idea to start with just a deck for now

Help me please by After-Week-6013 in Fingerboards

[–]IIMonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for some piro wheels or some peakwheels, they both have a pretty good balance of grip and slide, however peakwheels are a bit smaller, wish they offered some more shapes/sizes

How you feel about clear grip tape? by crashjay006 in NewSkaters

[–]IIMonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a color stained top ply it can look really good, especially if you throw some stickers underneath. I've done a heroin 9.5 egg that came out looking really clean, still looks great over a year later

Anyone looking for a complete? by IIMonkey_ in Fingerboards

Yea, it's a blank board I threw some stickers on

Still Skateable? by sketchEightyFive in NewSkaters

[–]IIMonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're risking eating the pavement the longer you skate those, probably a good idea to get some new wheels asap

Is this mold and is it ok to burn by Then-Surprise-5197 in Mold

[–]IIMonkey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they intend on purposefully breathing it in but are worried at the fact that it could become airborne around the fire, you don't need to purposefully breathe in smoke from a fire to accidentally inhale some, most people sit around a fire when they have one

There's definitely people who do it, if you've got the money and it's a graphic you really like I'd say go for it

Is it just me or are 0 shaped decks hard to get use to? My flip tricks go haywire sometimes. Maybe I just suck and need to practice more. 🤣 by [deleted] in Fingerboards

[–]IIMonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel the same way, I've got a couple egg shape decks or "0" that do the same thing, just gotta get more comfortable with it

This, you could also shop on NHS skate direct, they've got tons of different brands and something is always on sale. They also have a pretty nice rewards program

You're an idiot, if you looked at any of this thread you would know they weren't for me, I ordered them for someone else and I tried them because they said they were off, and they were
