ERIZENO Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 All this shit talking on peoples sizes seems like silly ass 90's hate to me. Watch Neen's first try friday ... Different set up's for different applications. I have had times where I have a transition set up (8+, 149's, 54mm+) and a flat/ledge set up(7.75,139's,50mm). Need to set up a strictly pool board (8.5, 169's, 60mm) Skateboarding is versatile ... skaters should be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do and I had a shitload of 60-63mm wheels and was laughed at by some people , but I also made a killing selling them , trading them for things . I have so many setups , ok maybe 3 right now . I don't skate street like a lot of you guys and my idea of street is straight out of " Streets On Fire " , cruising around Cleveland doing fast-plants , slappies , boneless , etc...lol . :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12packprophet Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Remember trying to find wheels bigger than 52mm in 1992-1993 ? You'd have been hard pressed to find anything bigger than 42 in 92-93. I remember my boys dad had a grinder in his basement and he used to just shave down his old T-bones and G-bones till they were tiny. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELT Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Tell me about it , everyone riding 39-42mm wheels , trying to think they were skating Pulaski Park in D.C....lol . I never really progressed in skating street during the mid to late 90's . I just skated and still do skate , the same way I did when I started . Granted I'll throw in a Heelflip here and there , but I skate fast and grind hard , which is all I know to do anymore . :cool: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Teetas Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I forget my deck name, but its a 7.5, i've been rolling on the same trucks for like 8+ years now, Grind king. I try my mates gear and, my trucks are just awesome makes the board feel a lot lighter. Also been rolling on the same wheels for ages too, almost rolling on bearings. Spitfire. been through lots of decks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those Venture feather lights (that had the worst floating axle problem) I have grown into someone who isn't a sucker for every flash in the pan trend, who started skating transition at 30, and just enjoy skating anytime I can. I still do lots of no-comply's mixed in with the tech flat-ground I can still manage to hold onto, but mostly only finding time for skate-parks these days.

chemical ali Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 at least the bearing covers would roll somewhat on california pavement,pennsylvania is all potholes and rocks,i remember flying through the air upside down wondering why they didnt sell g-bones anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
