Having trucks of different sizes is always a good thing, you know they’re gonna last and you can set up any kind of board you want to try. #firstworld #adultlife

@Mark I picked up one of these DB skateboard travel bags from slam. Bit spenny but completely conceals and protects your setup with space for 1 spare deck and tonnes of room for all your other stuff. I got it so I can take my board on work trips and am really pleased with it.
Very very comfortable and well made.

Looks sooo nice
Funnily enough I just took my Nike one off as I’m travelling right now. Still just about going!
250 quid, “bit spenny”?

I bet that order was the talk of the warehouse.

Good stuff is worth spending money on, especially if you’ll use it a lot
£250 on luggage when you travel multiple times a year seems pretty reasonable

My Patagonia Crag Pack recently died. I’d had eight good years of hard use out of it. Just spent £250 on a Mystery Ranch replacement. It’s essentially just a larger daypack. It’s well designed and constructed and is going to last and do the job in the meantime.
It costs what it costs for a reason. You gets what you pays for.

In general skating is a cheap sport compared to most. Sometimes it’s worth spending money on kit if you’re going to use it a lot and if it’s going to last.

Sometimes you can, tons of stuff out there is just overpriced shite as well that people use until it’s completely threadbare because it cost so much then wang on about how well it lasted. It’s pretty hard to know which is which at times really.

Haha that’s so true 
Agree but it normally has a trendy logo on it
I put my trust in Slam for this one as I doubt they’d stock a £250 logoless rucksack from a brand people have probably never heard of unless it was top quality
I actually live my real life in the ski industry. Db is huge there and they make by far the best bags/luggage. It’s definitely top quality.

Looks like Spitfire are doing the same as Powell - they took the 93 Dragons and made a harder version (X97). Seems Spitfire are reformulating their 97a F4s using the urethane from their 93 Soft Sliders.
God damn auto correct….

whoa… toothpick.
I was being mildly in my own head when posting that. Took a massive slam on my current setup and realised that riding a 9.1 egg wasn’t doing my rapidly diminishing skillset any favours. Figured that many people riding bigger boards might come to the same realisation in the near future.

No shit, came here looking to ask a question about eggs and being over 40 mens that I will fade away even faster on one of these, so thanks for that.
Second question is that i’ve become rail curious (as in the hardware, not the obstacle) and want to know if it’s possible to pop those on an 8.5?
I’ve lost nollie heelflips which I could do with my eyes closed in my 20s so might just buy a 7.5 and relive the glory days.
