So truthfully I'm just an ex-skater who rides longboards now, but my Miniglider is my daily driver and i'm so in love with it

But after watching a few Dave Gravette videos and hopping on my friend's new Creature Skate Horde for a day, I've been desperately wanting a P2 creature street deck.

And then this poo poo happened on my way back from class today.

Goddammit, universe. Not cool with the timing.
Now I need one.

Believe it or not, Chicago.
That's right on Lake Michigan, across the street from Grant Park and in the "museum campus" area where the Shedd Aquarium/Field Museum/Adler Planetarium all are.

Might not be entirely legal, but cops give me enough poo poo here as is. I'm polite enough.

In other news, I'm building a deck now because of that oh-so-fine skate.ly discount. Lookin for something to ease back into street-style from cruising for a few years now.



Have I completely lost my deckbuilding skills?

If the answer is yes, then I'm saying gently caress it and just building this bad boy up instead:

28 mins :whatup:

I miss the days before we had genetically-engineered perfection :sigh:

In other news, I've been dicking around on cruisers for the last 4 years and hadn't set foot on a real deck since I was 15ish (23 now).

Building a new deck for the summer, figured I'd grab an 8" minilogo or shop deck and slap on some indy 129's or 139's.

Any advice on trucks/wheels? I've been spoiled on 65mm 78a's for a while now, trying to take a step back down without killing myself on cracks I'd normally ignore.

Haven't watched them yet but I think I just saw who the winner was and it gave me a biiiig smile.

God bless that monster :allears:

His vids are the reason I ditched my cruiser and got back on a real deck and I haven't regretted it a moment since :getin:
