The Happiest Place on Earth

Well, in Pennsylvania at least…

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.

Bantam

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

Nickel

Riprider

My inside skateboard.

This is ridiculous, but you know.  Sometimes you need to skate over to the fridge for another beer or skate to that bathroom in the middle of the night.  Here is my new set up for that.

Cadillac Wheels that I have had forever, mostly because my floor is smooth and these are too small for me to ride a lot outside.  Also the slowest, cheapest, genericest bearings I had.  Mostly because I dont want to go to fast.  Its a tight turn between the bedroom and bathroom through the kitchen and the slowness will help me not crash into the refrigerator when half asleep.

GFH little trucks.  These things are adorable.

GLOBE!

Globe Traction pads on the top.  It took 2 to cover the whole thing.  Makes my feet less grumpy if I happen to be barefoot.

Flexdex Retrodex deck.  nice and short, but wide enough that there is no foot bite with the narrow wheels and trucks.

Silly or not, I now have a dedicated inside the house skateboard.  Awesome.
