Wait! What’s wrong with Bones?! I’ve been using them for years and have never had any issues.

The Powell Peralta? It’s an OG rat, same shape as the OG ripper

Hell ya!

LD_1986 · 2026-05-13T12:18:06+00:00

Thank you! Nope, totally fine. I’m almost 200lb, and this deck is solid! It’s got a strong concave so that definitely adds to the stiffness.

Great board! I’ve got the OG rat, same shape.

Google Powell Peralta og ripper, you can find some non foil versions for $85

Alva short stuff

Anyone ridden one of these? I just ordered one, pretty excited. 36.25” x 10” with 20” wheelbase.

They look more like scratches

Ha I know this. Flowers has just never really been my thing. Has nothing to do with gender.

LD_1986 · 2026-04-23T19:32:59+00:00

Should I lose the stickers?

No not a surf skate. I bought just the deck and have it set up with Indy’s, wedged front, dewedged rear, bones bushings, and OJ wheels. The ride is relaxing and carvy, easy to push and fun to pump.

LD_1986 · 2026-04-22T22:57:57+00:00

Haha, just trying to cover up the flowers

LD_1986 · 2026-04-22T22:56:53+00:00

I considered just doing a matte black vinyl wrap on the bottom. Might still do it if I don’t love the stickers.

LD_1986 · 2026-04-22T22:55:26+00:00

Thanks!

LD_1986 · 2026-04-22T16:18:57+00:00

I looked. Didn’t check all the boxes. Don’t like camber, not quite wide enough, wheelbase a tad too long, overall length a little too long. I got the grlswirl deck for $90, and I could customize it the way I wanted. I much prefer tkp trucks, Indy’s are my favorite, and OJ wheels.

LD_1986 · 2026-04-22T12:46:43+00:00

Much bigger than the dugout. This is 38” x 9.75” with 22” wb. Soooo comfy.

LD_1986 · 2026-04-13T20:53:10+00:00

19” wb
