Whats your setup ?

[C H U C K]

36" Slingz
6.5 Selfish Wenning
Shake Junt grip
7" Variflex pro team 2 trucks
I only use two truck bolts in each truck to save weight.
Hubba Chris Cole 65mm by 55A yeah the same ones he uses in competition
I took the bearings out of a Target board that had the Hulk on it. I popped the shields and they were so fast I gave my bones swiss to some older kids at the park.
I wear size 21 New Balance Leo Romero SOTY shoes. They are green.
I wear Quicksilver Chris Cole skate jeans sized 24x43 they are white.
Apple I Pod 2
Skullcandy Ear Blaster Bass headphones
I like to drink a few cans of Fresca for my energy drink.
Three raw eggs mixed with 3TB of nutmeg is what I eat before I skate, it works so well. You don't want the extra weight of solid food in your system. I noticed that less food in me, two truck bolts and the popped shields on my bearings makes my overall set up so much lighter that I ollie higher and I have less wind resistance so I can skate faster too.

That's so true! I found that when I fill my pockets with rocks when I get to a spot, warm up for a few and get a couple of bangers. I find that once I rid my pockets of rocks I get a sense of elevation that makes my bangers that much greater. I'm not saying that have to add this to your routine but you kinda do.

I just cut my feet off and cruise for a bit and then when I want a trick I put em back on.

I usually take dumps before I skate

[bob]

hmm... i usually rub one out before i skate. but pooping before sounds like a good ritual as well

[Mike D De Camp]

Tried the Theeve thang. Couple of Krooks on the bench, taco'd the kingpin bolt. REALLY?!?!

- I haven't broken anything in years.

You would think it's a bad thing... But I skate some loose trucks... The bolt is only finger tight.
now it stays put.

Im fucking confused.

Suks

gotta poop before you pop.

[Babe, Mr. Ruth if you're Nasty]

Gonna finally get the motivation to build my cruiser today. It's a Santa Cruz Jeff Kendall reissue. I need to build it for a school project. Gonna slap a bottle opener on the bottom of it, cause I started a fake company for Graphic Design called "Coping Mechanism". I know Creature's already got the Brue Killer out, but trust me, mine is no where as unflawed as that one.

when you get it all finished up post a picture on here! i'd be stoked to see it

8" Nayslayer.
the other stuff to make it work.

[C H U C K]

Come on Dan, we need shoe size, type of grip, type of hardware, how many rotations your wrench turned as you tightened your bolts, how may threads are on your bolts, wheel graphics on the inside or out, sanded or not sanded wheel graphics, popped caps on non popped caps and of course we need to know what kind of bearings.

This is all so crucial.. unless you don't wanna tell us. Then we'll just assume you did nothing to make your setup lighter and we'll laugh and scoff at you!

[dtotherob]

i was in a hurry to skate it.  sorry about that.  so it's an 8" board.  the trucks are krux with 763 grind per truck on the rear and 592 GPT on the front.  width doesn't matter. the GPT rating is important because it lets you know how good you are doing. the wheels are spitfires.  they are round because i hear that is the best geometrical shaped wheel they put out.  i like to let the ground scrape off the graphics.  and i like my wheel color to match my slingz.  i torqued the mounting hardware to 19 in/lbs, as per the manufacturers specifications.  i don't do to much weight modification because i only have size 6 feet. but i do add a few extra perferations in the mob grip i use.  bearings are NMB's, of course. the shields are in good shape because i use rims.

^ I need to borrow your torque wrench.

LurkVille w/ Paradox
Ace 44’s with Bones hard bushings (my front truck wiggles when you shake my board, my back truck not as much)
Bones SPF’s 53’s
Bones Swiss 6-Balls
Rough Card hardware (Roughneck X Low Card)
Lakai Manchester Selects size 11 ‘cause that’s important

The past 4 decks I've had I've gone back and forth between 8.25 & 8.365. I hope to one day to have it all figured out.



Even though I might talk shit on bailgun's rules I still abide by them



I took C H U C K ' S advice and sanded off my wheel graphics. They're sooooooooo lite that I'd put the shields back on my bearings.



I had to go with 54's 'cause they were out of 53's... so bummed. In case you didn't know kidz I don't care about wheel bite



Just ride through that shit.
I bought some etnies to be my next skate shoe (size 11) but they have that memory foam and I don't know if that is conducive to skating. I want some Busenitz (size 11) but dhey expensive...
