New Skateboard
WEUT! My new skateboard came in today!
I just finished assembling it and took it out for a little ride. Its smooooooth and has a ton of pop.

Les Spécifiques
- ELEMENT MIKE V AVIARY DECK - 7.88 width - On sale, and its a helium deck, so its lighter and stronger.
- TENSOR RODNEY MULLEN CUSTOM MIDS TRUCKS - Mullen is my all-time favorite skateboarder and he personally designed these trucks.
- SPITFIRE OLSON LIFERS WHEELS - 57mm, 97a durometer, for a smoother ride over crappy asphalt.
- FKD SAWBLADE SPEED BEARINGS - ABEC 5, IMHO the best balance between speed and durability. These ones have a clear shield so you can see inside, with a red spacer for a little extra bling.
- BLACK MAGIC GRIP TAPE - of course!
- MYSTERY RISERS and hardware - No real difference in performence, but they are white and complemented the trucks nicely.
Now to go work of those extra pounds!

Thats awesome! I need to get a new deck myself. I didn’t know that you were thinking about getting one. Thats so awesome, we have to go out and ride sometime soon hopefully.

Yeah, I have been needing one, my blank deck is a few years old and the grind king trucks are ancient and worn out, as are the wheels and bearings… so yeah its a mess. The deck is actually the most pristine part of it.
At any rate, I got some money for my birthday to buy myself a gift and this was one of my big wants so I got it! So far I’m totally digging it. It has amazing pop and is the lightest setup I’ve even ridden. I could have made it even lighter with lighter trucks, but I didn’t care too much about lightness. I mostly wanted a rugged deck that was hi-tech instead of the usual maple-7 decks I’ve always ridden.
