Rat Bones

These showed up today.  Right after I got home form the skatepark.  I had these Bones 100s on my park board and it felt terrible after riding big soft wheels for so long.  Im giving these Powell Peralta Rat Bones reissues a try to see if I can find a happy medium.  They are 60mm and 90a.  The board has Indy Stage 11s on it.  They say you can use 56mm wheels with no risers so I may be pushing it, but I am going to try with no riser for a time or two and see if I can get away with it.  Pushing around the kitchen they feel great with fresh Reds in them, I can't wait to get them out to the park Monday or Tuesday and see how they feel out there.

Pennsylvania

I'm in Pennsylvania for a while.  There is a park about 10 minutes from where I am staying so I put together a park board to roll around on.  That was silly, I have been there 5 or 6 times so far and I spend about 10 minutes on the popsicle stick and then head to the car for whatever plastic board I took with me as a back up.

Fucking Leaves.  I couldn't find the broom this day.

Orangatang 4President

I just got some Orangatang 4Presidents in the mail.  I usually don't buy wheels this big, but a few things made me want them.  First, Nicole has been riding the Flexdex set up with 70mm wheels almost every time we go out and she says the wheels are one of the things she likes most about it.  So I want another set up with 70mm wheels for me to play with.  Next they were a good deal.  I can't pass up good deals on skate parts weather I need them or not.  Lastly, I really like the Orangatang Nipples bushings, but have never tried their wheels so it was about time.

They came out of the box and two thoughts came to me.  Holy cow these are big and holy cow these are yellow.  I'm not sure what I am going to put these on yet.  I am leaning towards my Nickel.  It has Indy 109's on it right now, and that might be a fun set up to cruise around on.  It has 60mm Penny wheels on it now and I am curious to see how much more speed it will hold with these much bigger wheels on it.
The other thought I had was to put it on a Flexdex Retrodex since I have an extra one around, but that might look way too monster truck like.

Bennett Trucks

I was switching some trucks around the other day and I realized how much I like these cut down Bennett trucks.  I wanted them on like 3 different boards.  I just got some new wheels, a little taller than what I usually ride and the Bennetts are perfect for them.
