Riding a set of spitfires is infinitely cooler then riding Powell wheels in 2025
I am riding some Reynolds soft sliders and had completely forgotten I had them (but have only had a go on them once, about 3 weeks ago)
Seem fine (which is a compliment)
always has been? burn forever and all that
i can’t tell from your comments whether you’re an equipment princess like me or aren’t that bothered with your setup
Just ordered a Cafe deck from Slam. Not that I need a new deck yet, just want a change from Polar for my next deck. Hoping that I get yellow top and bottom…
wait are we going “preferred ply colour” now?
I’ve had a few Cafe boards and have gotten on OK with them.
Last one was the Gump one but I like it so much I can’t bring myself to set it up yet.
That said, I’m not really a wall hangerer and the image is landscape anyway so, money well spent.
Can do
I like pink and yellow tops the most. Green and black probably the least. Can’t handle all natural!
I genuinely didn’t think I had a preference but now you mention it I don’t think I like black or natural top plys. Fucks sake Mike
Yeah my last one was fine. I’m arguably skating much better at the moment than I was then.
And of course there’s the cursed or just plain unlucky red top ply conspiracy / superstition…
I also like symmetry in the way the coloured ply are laid out. Both of my kids are diagnosed ASD so maybe this sort of stuff explains why
FWIW I don’t like any coloured trucks and any truck prints get rubbed off with paint stripper.
Red is fine. I don’t need any more superstitions thank you
This is important

Results are anonymous for all you shy natural ply haters
Shocked at that result so far tbh.
I did put my 2 most hated colours at the top btw
This is really hard, black is horrible, brown is ok.
Pink, orange, yellow and green are unfuckwithable. The others all depend on context.
Purple is horrible, so are natural and black. Orange is always dope, yellow and green are cool, blue always works, never had a problem with red. Brown is far from my favourite but it’s ok.
