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.

Elephant!!!

I set this Vallely reissue up with as many of the parts I could find from my first skateboard.

Pretty cool deck, the front riser, bushings and the bearings are the newish parts.

The Venture trucks, Rat Bones, Cell Block III and the Bridgebolts are from the first board I ever had.  

That board also had a nosebone, tailbone, rails and some Rip Grip, I think I need to add that.  I have some rails and Rip Grip,  Internet shopping, here I come.

How awesome are these.  These were the wheels on the first skateboard I ever had.  I was like 10 or something so they did not get ridden very hard and are still in crazy good shape.  They went in towards the bearings so the graphics did not get worn off instantly like most of todays wheels.  And different graphics on each side.  I would pick up a set of the reissues of these of they made them a little softer.  I would love to have a couple sets of these in about 80a.
