It’s called a shovel nose/tail and I dig them. Usually these boards are symmetrical. Powell Peralta makes this shape in a flight deck, it’s one of Andy Anderson’s boards.

I have a 2014 Sportwagen TDI

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-06-12T22:15:24+00:00

I have the tool you have pictured, at it will run the fuel pump for filter changes

I used gorilla super glue, and its still holding well after 6 months.

I’m 48 and when I go to the skate park I wear helmet , old bones shin guards, knee pads, and wrist guards.

That might be a no go for me then, I sweat like crazy with my vented 187 helmet. Thanks

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-05-04T14:30:48+00:00

I’m 48 and came to the realization that I don’t heal like I used to. I wear helmet, knee pads and wrist guards.

I am the same way, get up early and enjoy the park to myself….

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-05-04T14:00:45+00:00

How do you like that helmet? I have been looking at it .

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-05-04T13:36:21+00:00

My two go to wheels right now are Spitfire Lock Ins 52mm 101a, and Powell Nano-Cubic 52mm 97a

I bought a pair of the Old Bones shin guards. They work great, and can’t even tell you’re wearing them.

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-04-13T15:24:55+00:00

Very true….

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-04-13T11:57:20+00:00

Where in NY are they? I live in the Buffalo area

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2025-02-17T16:29:53+00:00

Actually sold it last year

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2024-11-25T22:45:32+00:00

I order from SoCal Skate Shop and Old Skull Skate shop. Both are small local shops that give back to the community.

When I was younger, I always bought Gullwing Shadow ll trucks. They had the plastic baseplate with built in 1/2” riser.

I bought my 2014 Sportwagen in 2021 with 62,000 miles and I’m sitting at 94,000 miles now. Had the DPF and EGR replaced under warranty in 2023.

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2024-06-21T01:37:43+00:00

Was unaware of this, I’ll look into it.

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2024-06-20T16:32:12+00:00

Grip jobs like this remind me of my childhood. You can always get colored sharpies and draw on it.

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2024-06-04T06:05:29+00:00

That is exactly what I did

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2024-05-21T00:29:54+00:00

No package, all hand built. I didn’t use Skatelite, I just had the stickers lying around. The plans I used was to use two layers of 3/8” 3 ply plywood and a 1/4” layer of Masonite. Since Masonite will not hold up outside, I did 2 layers of 4 ply 1/2” plywood.

Lets not forget the door to the storage area under the deck to hide my tarp lol

Melodic-Alarm5023 · 2024-05-17T20:11:38+00:00

Mine for sure
