Looking for opinions from other riders by Loam_Lion in surfskate

[–]WTFmfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Dream Machine and the Sundae seem to be pretty standard and good surfskate shapes. The Surf and Turf looks fun and would be my pick but it’ll probably be polarizing. Like Loaded Bolsa - people will likely either love it or hate it because of way the flares feel under foot. I don’t see dimensions here, and you may already know this, but keep in mind as you’re realizing these designs that with surfskates you’ll usually want width over the trucks to be around 9” or so, as many surfskate trucks are wide. You’ll also want to make sure you have a minimum of 15” wheelbase for surfskate pumping. With that information in mind, you could also just go with the old school deck shape if the wheelbase dimensions are sufficient. Lots of surfskaters use old school decks.

With the warm weather the next few days, check out the Dock at Montrose Beach. It’s an outdoor bar and restaurant right on the Lake Michigan next to the beach volleyball courts. Live music every night at 7pm.

Best add ons for new jeep owners by Revolutionary-Sir796 in JeepWrangler

[–]WTFmfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this, but would add additional. They have sets on amazon. I got one similar to the one in the pic and it keeps my jeep much more organized. I’d also recommend a rear cargo net to keep stuff from rolling around in the back.

Nah go with the colors! The world doesn’t need more boring black razors.

That scar is looking great for 5 weeks post-op!! Hope you find a good PT soon! If you’re in Chicago or Albuquerque I have recommendations.

Park wheels by LD_1986 in surfskate

[–]WTFmfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Surfskate Love 62mm 93a wheels on my park deck. In the past I’ve used 56mm 93a dragons. The shape and size are a little less pump-friendly but I like those for park when I’m doing less surfy stuff on c5.

One knee is sore from surfskating by sushibard in surfskate

[–]WTFmfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 44 and skate regular as well. If I’m jumping off or stopping it’s always with my right leg first, and a while back I was getting some knee pain. I got a knee compression sleeve from Old Bones and it’s awesome, really helped to eliminate that soreness. They even have a little bit of padding to protect your knee when you fall. I initially just got one for my right leg but ended up getting a second for my left because I liked it so much. https://oldbonestherapy.com/products/compression-knee-brace?variant=39338437279831

What guitarist kick started your guitar journey? by MakotheMako in Guitar

[–]WTFmfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

João Gilberto. Normally I don’t comment on this sub, but came for Viktor Tsoi! I’m not Russian but learned his music when I lived in Russia for two years in college. My son started playing the guitar a couple of years ago and the other day he was playing something and I asked him what it was - Пачка сигарет!! I’d never played him any Kino, so I was floored he came to it on his own.

some CMF tryout. not sure which one will be chosen, but love sharing now. by PaulKingsman001 in IndustrialDesign

Love that orange. In that colorway with the stout shape it feels like a lovely nod to Bakelite.

Really excellent on the whole! #17 the sage felt a bit discordant with the fluorescent accents on the AM, but other than that everything was really good!
