Clean AF! Also those F4s are looking way more white than before. Did they start to make them whiter recently? 

[Murge]

I recently got some radial f4s and it’s been a few months and they are weirdly less natural color and more white when next to my old wheels

Interested in what kind of risers you have since I've never seen any that don't have overhang like that.

I snatched them off my daughters cruiser board that someone got her from Walmart. They're baby blue and they have like 2mm of overhang towards the nose/tail.  I had Indy risers before and they looked awful on there.

Bones risers don't stick out and they are slotted.

Wish I could find more boards from Chapman. I like their shapes/wood.



I'd also like to skate Traffic boards more often.

They’re just slightly harder than the stock bushings so still turny but  a bit more stable. I got em because I didn’t want crank down on the stock bushings to get that stability that I’m comfortable with.

Decided to try out a 7.75 again like what I skated throughout my highscool years.
Minilogo 7.63 trucks with soft top bushings, hard bottom bushings, no washers. 52mm mini logo wheels.
And wtf these mini logo bearings feel way better than my Swiss 6 on my regular board. I guess I really need to clean them to get them back up to speed again.

[kneebone]

Left, previous setup:
Krooked 8.75 Gonz
Ace 55s w/ bones soft bushings, slim top washer
DialTone Alexis Sablone 50mm
Swiss
Shortys Silverados 7/8

Right, new setup:
DOA 8.75 “flat as fuck” (though it really doesn’t feel any different than the “IV” stamped deluxe boards)
Boardy Cakes 44mm fat buntz
Everything else the same

No disrespect intended, but this set up being ridden by anyone other than a beginner is mind boggling to me. Seems like you have new kicks all the time so it's clearly not a money issue - what's going on here?

I guess you like 8.75” what’s the wheel base on both these ? I’ve been wanting to size up from 8.5 but most 8.75 have a little longer wb then I prefer but then again it’s prob in my head .

^ +1 but I hope you don’t skate in weather over 90, Jessup on my BA started peeling bad.

I skate Jessup in in 114° and it still stuck on my board. Bad sheet maybe???

He must have gotten a bad sheet.  I've been skating Jessup for the past 31 hot, humid North Carolina summers and it hasn't failed me yet.  Contact Jessup... I'm sure they'd replace it for you if it was defective.

Well I’ve been riding minilogo trucks for like 7 years and I genuinely love them. My last trucks before that were theeve and thunder and when I got my first set of ML trucks I was blown away at how much better that felt for me than all the other truck brands I’ve skated over the years.
As far as decks go, price point decks are fine imo, I set up a new one every 2 weeks or so though.
Wheels, I’m not super picky about, I like them to slide and the MLccuts slide great but when I very first set them up, they are too slick to where I might fall just cruising fast and taking a sharp turn but once they break in, they work perfectly fine for me.
Wheel colors I didn’t choose lol, I sometimes forget to specify that I’d prefer white wheels but I also really don’t mind the multicolor set of wheels.
