What's your set up?

[nolan1053]

I'm currently getting a new one tomorrow, so I thought I'd see what everyone else is rocking. Post your set up, maybe even a picture of it.
Do you have any special grip techniques?
Any special board set up techniques?
Any good luck charms?
How do you ride your trucks?
Do you like graphics on your trucks?

Just go all out, haha.

[K05T0N]

Sunday shop deck


Sunday x Spitfire 53mm Streetburners and Stay Gold Shake Junt bearings


Antwuan Dixon Thunders (loose)


Fairly new setup can't wait for the snow to start melting so I can actually skate it.

[nolan1053]

Wheels look a little big, so do the trucks.
What size is the board?

[K05T0N]

i think its like 7.5 my friend gave it to me cuz mine snapped last week. usually ride about an 8.0 so this is smallll for me

[nolan1053]

Prepare for wheel bite of epic proportion.

[K05T0N]

yeah riser pads might be a good idea or just get a new deck

[nolan1053]

I'd just get a new board. I'm going to get a new set up tomorrow. Pretty stoked.

[K05T0N]

haha you are always getting a new set-up, do you break boards often?

[nolan1053]

I just broke my shop board today. I get a lot of old school board, not a lot of actual set ups. I'm going to start skating 8s instead of 8.5s though.

[K05T0N]

yeah 8.0s are what i usually skate guy who owns the shop i go to suggested i move up to 8.25 cause i like skating tranny so i might move up. how is 8.5?

[nolan1053]

8.5s are pretty hard to flip since I don't have that big of feet, they're also pretty damn heavy. 8.3 is the biggest I'd go if I was skating tranny and street. But when I skate tranny I like old school boards. 9.5 to a 10.

[K05T0N]

yeah i had like a 9.5 at my school new trucks new wheels... new everything. month later some mutherfucker stole it from my dorm room.

[nolan1053]

I plan on getting an old school board soon, just don't know what.

[K05T0N]

i thought that zorlac one was pretty cool, personally i'd prob get a vision board if i was gonna go old school

[briden]

Lil guy: Some random toys r us deck, 3.5 Krux, Wide soft cruisin wheels, maybe spitfires but they were hand-me-downs so I'm not sure.

Serious bizness: 8.0 35th Ave shop deck, 3.5 Krux, 60mm Autobahn wheels.


Loose trucks on both. Little writing on the grip, usually some inside joke that everybody asks about and I regret within a few days.

Can't wait for winter to be over

[Boxerman08]

8" Underworld Board (local shop), 52mm Universe Wheels (local shop), Medium-ride Independent trucks (medium tight, but front truck is looser than back truck), Shake Junt bearings.

Trucks are pretty much brand new, and the board is pretty new too (might not look like it, but it is fairly new lol) Only thing I have to change are the wheels and bearings

[Mr. Anonymous]

I ride an 8.0 with 56mm Bone street formula wheels. I got these sick pink bolts on the tail and green on the nose.
I ride the trucks mad tight. MOB grip. Almost boards all the time.

[nolan1053]

Just got a new set up.
8.06 Krooked Mark Gonzales Shmoo Thrice deck (Best deck I've ever bought)
5.25 Theeve TiAX trucks
50mm Hoffart Bones wheels
Bones Reds bearings






(Beautiful squared nose)

[adda89ldn]

fuck, that deck looks awesome.

how're the theeve's workin out? good investment? better than indy?

[nolan1053]

Usually, I fucking hate Theeves. But these grind really smoothy, they really light and they feel super sturdy under my feet. I ride my trucks super loose, and the Bones bushings fit perfectly in these with no problems. I almost got the hollow forged Indys, but they seemed a little fragile.These Theeves are super nice, I'm going to try a few wallies soon and see if they work for wallies. Some trucks like ventures don't work out too well for wallies.

[BaphoM3th]

i have a 8.0 jimmy carlin mystery board
with titty cancer thunder team trucks
spitfire swirl wheels (green red if you must know)
red bearings

[nolan1053]

Thought I'd bump this up since I've noticed we have some new members.
Currently I'm skating a:
7.5 Enjoi Bag of Suck deck.
Royal 4 standards (Raw)
and 50mm Chris Haslam Momentum wheels (BUY THESE!)
Rocking the Mikey Taylor LS, as well.

Got that Jose Rojo set up =P

[BaphoM3th]

oohhhh how good exactly are the momentum wheels?

[nolan1053]

I was surprised. They're really soft but slide amazingly. They're one of those wheels you need to break in though with a couple 360s and 180s.

[pawnluvguitarist]

Creature Brue Killers board with a custom sanded nose by me




Tensor low Magnesium:


I forget what wheels, but they're small and soft

Bones Swiss Ceramics bearings best i've ever had

[Granka]

I love Thunder trucks. Have you seen the new Ellington truck? It's pretty much the same thing.
