What starts as a personal heel-flip battle ends in a humble realization that you just can't go back. As usual, all in the name of fun!

SANTA CRUZ X STRANGER THINGS LENTICULAR
What an awesome recreation, took me right back to the many times watching this as a kid. Thanks!
Your videos inspired me to do several different set ups. There’s no shame in having too many. I enjoy your content very much
I really appreciate that, thank you 🙏
I live in Vancouver and I think I just saw it right now as well… 7:30pm
That's crazy man I just saw something about 30 minutes ago myself! Like a red ball of fire or something
Nah if it was from Jersey it would probably be blasting some terrible rap music and dumping garbage all over the place 🤣😜
@@fatdadskatesbad 🤣
I'm seeing stuff here right over the river in Pennsylvania.
@@whokid187 it's getting crazy
@radoldrat Stay safe out there man
The tool is a scratch awl.
Wow that 16.5 inch wheelbase looks crazy! I know John's a big fella but a full extra inch over the standard is wild, and it makes the board control so differently. Need to get a reissue or a modern Black Label clone with that same wheelbase.
Yeah it feels pretty crazy to have a wheelbase that long on a board that short haha
This is the actual first pro model I ever recall seeing in person as a kid. But it was the all green one.
jeff kendall... snake. Cant wait to ride that again!
Clear grip is now my friend
Oldschool power 💪
💪😤
One of my favourite wheels... have them in the 97a in 56mm. Great ride
Gimme that same era dude... was f ing amazing!!!! for all your reasons... and the graphics... so crazy because all my decks are getting bigger and bigger again. I'm on a 9.88 Lucero at the moment... and im eying off a 10.25" Birdhouse Hawk Bat.
I love my Lucero! Anything black label does, well most anything anyway is pure gold in my opinion. Right now I'm really really enjoying the heroin egg, the 9.5 razor. It feels perfect! 🛹🐀
@@radoldrat yeah the eggs are amazing... i have the 9.25 and the 9.75. They are great fun
Hey man! Awesome!!! I just found your channel! subbed!!! i just bought the Lucero " van man" great shape and have it at the 15" wheelbase for bowls and transition. Am intrigued on this board as i love the nose and shape! ahhhhhh the nostalgia!!! 14.25 wb on this... You think it will be a bit squirrely on transition, or the width will make up for it... Dope channel man. Luv from Australia!!
Thank you so much, I totally appreciate that! Yeah I really like the Knox for bowl myself because I'm a short dude so the 14.25 wheelbase is super helpful for me. It's such a rad shape and super functional I highly recommend picking one up! Stay Rad! 🛹🐀
@@radoldrat oh perfect... im 5'10"... have a heap of eggs that are 14.25 so it shouldn't be to to drastic im hoping. It should be awesome fun on the mini ramp im guessing! 169s and nano rats im thinking.... t
@bennyg949 sounds like a good time to me! I've got the 159s on mine I'm just so used to them so I didn't bother going up to the 169. Gonna be a rad set up man I'm stoked for ya!
I don’t think there no need to put 159 on there every one skate 8.5 truck nowadays witch is basically the 80s I would try 149 with big wheels I think Natas switch down to 149 in one of his skate parts
Adorable, your baby not the RAGE! Good luck and have fun, becoming a father was the best thing to ever happen to me.
Appreciate that man thank you!
A thief is a parasite. What did you think of the dragon wheels? Setting up my new Knox deck this rainy weekend, not sure of nano cubic or ratbones.
I actually really love my nano cubics way more than I thought I would. They're nice and light and the formula is really rad if you go with the 97a. It would be amazing if they did the Nano cubic size and shape but with the X formula. Depending on what you're skating I recommend the X formula for parks and the Nano cubics or the Nano rats for street 🛹🐀
The Knox re issue….you find the wheelbase preferable for bowl vs a larger one (like 15ish like most re issue decks?) ….and why? I’m trying to find my sweet spot at the moment and would be interested to hear why you choose a smaller wb.
That's a great question, I know I should be going for a larger wheelbase but I'm a shorter guy, Short legs etc. I feel really comfortable on anything 14.5 or under. I just have more control that way 🛹🐀
You will appreciate this video as more time passes and the city changes - it’s a historical document!
That's a really good point! Thank you!
Awsome! Brings back good memories. I had the Natas Evil Cat.
CHECK THE DESCRIPTION FOR THE VIDEOS FEATURING THESE BOARDS!
Hi what's up homies love your videos all old skool shit shout out from socal🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hey really appreciate that homie thank you 🙏🛹🐀
Yes
1: you okay? You sound a bit sick 2: my set up is a Welcome 9.0 inch Dancer deck… my secondary is an 8.25 RipnDip falling graphic
Dope rides! I'm good thank you,bjust haven't slept much or at all since the baby was born. Small price to pay 😁🙏
@@radoldrat 🤣 take care man
Really enjoyed the video, and particularly your choice of background music. Greetings from Berlin!
Thank you I really appreciate that as I make the music myself! 🙏
These set ups are super rad. In no way is having a few decks/set ups too much. Who wants to change their trucks and wheels for different terrain.
Exactly!! And we're so blessed these days to have all these different formulas of wheels AND a crazy amount of reissue decks to choose from! Who wouldn't go wild!?
BRO! I JUST ORDERED THAT SAME KNOX DECK!! Had it in red when it came out new. Stoked to get it!🤙✌️🤙
Such a rad and functional shape you're gonna love it! 🛹🐀
@@radoldrat it's gonna be like coming home bro!
@BrianPayne-ef6kn and who says you can't go back?? 🤣
@@radoldrat exactly my old school amigo! I'll H.G. Wells my way back to 1989 if it's the last thing I do bro!🤙✌️🤙
Cool setups! I'm looking for a Swampy for my next build!
Anything Heroin skateboards makes is pure gold!
i have a new deal siamese re issue thats a 9.5. 169 titaniums , dragons 58mm , bronson ceramics, creature rails, and real 5 ply risers. its a great board and its a lot like your black label
It IS a lot like my black label! I almost got that one myself I think I still might. How does it feel??
@@radoldrat i love it. my bowl skating has improved a lot since i got it and went from 159s to 169s . huge difference. i might get another one so i have it. while i still can
ace makes tiny trucks or your son!
On it thank you!! 🙏
There aren't that many, I actually have more 😁 the Black Flag song „can't decide“ is the program. There are so many shapes, especially with these awesome oldschool boards, but I also have to say that I just can't agree on any wheels 🙈
Dang I should have busted out my wheel collection too! So many reissue wheels! Maybe next time
Come on man gimme one🙏
Love little Damion's setup!🤘🏼 I don't think it's silly to have too many. I grew up with maybe one setup cause that's all we could afford, that's probably why I have so many now. It's good to be a kid with adult money! 👊🏼
Omg that's so true!
i had 3 boards for awhile. it complicated my life to much
Sick!
I got back on the board this past summer and a new helmet was a must. I got an S1 Lifer and have worn it every session. I never wore one when I was younger get unless it was required at a park. It only takes one second to do something you can’t undo. I’d rather limit my risk of a concussion and traumatic brain injury than look “cool”. I turned 50 over the summer so every slam hits a little different. I felt like a kook my first couple times back but skateboarding, to me is so freeing and important that I want to be able to keep doing it for many more years to come. You’ll be setting a good example for your son and many other kids by doing so. Just my two cents but I think it’s a good idea for everyone. Stay rad!
Very true words! I agree completely! 🙏
Ohhh, So Sexy, I got a chubby
cool decks! im sad you got rid of your natas kitten though, that vid helped me decide between that and a diff natas reissue, and i still watch it sometimes just bcz i rly enjoy it. i think my fav deck from this vid is probably the knox punk - hes one of my favs, and i have the newest firepit. also, nothings wrong with having too many decks! im a younger street skater and idk why but im kinda obsessed with buying and skating old-school decks (even though i kinda suck at skating them compared to my popsicles lol, i actually ate total shit off of a ramp because i got freaked out and panicked about my foot placement w/ no nose and totally shattered my humerus lmao) but old-school decks are def my flav slam-pieces - i think its all the pretty shapes, and the fact that they all feel so different from one another. ive definitely gone a bit over-board with my collection though, i spent like most of my saving from my old work buying a bunch of different decks so i think i have 9 old-school decks atm. i love them all though, and who needs to pay rent and bills anyway. love your vids :)
Thank you so much! I totally agree, shaped decks have more personality and a lot more attitude! I'd love to see your collection! 🛹🐀
@@radoldrat ive actually thought about making vids reviewing my decks/setups but im not sure if id be any good at it. i might one day though, but for now my current old-school and shaped decks are; the powell skull and sword snub nose (thats the one i broke my arm on, i havent actually skated it since lol), the knox firepit, the dressen pup, the dogtown god of death, the natas kitten (i got yellow rails for it like you had in your vid), the vision red og jinx, the welcome dragon, the winkowski thrasher primeval, the scram overkill, the salba tiger hand, the dogtown suicidal possessed to skate (the 9 inch 14.75wb version, i have it in the yellow/black fade/red baphomet colorway which is my fav) and the yow mercedes bellido (it was a drunken impulse-buy bcz i thought it was pretty, but its actually a 34-inch surfskate deck with like no kick at all so i cant actually skate it, but its still nice to just look at lol). and i think thats all of my oldchool and shaped ones (well and the welcome fairytale but thats still basically a popsicle). idk why ive gotten so many bcz all my decks are totally in the way, and its a total pain to have to switch my trucks over all the time bcz i try to use all of them in like a cycle (otherwise i feel like some might feel left out or unloved - which im aware is a totally crazy thing to feel about beat-up peices of wood). anyway, im excited for your future vids! also do you think youll try the 88a dragons when they come out?
@heather-3904 I'm not sure if I would try the 88s actually, I think they might be too soft and it kind of negates the point of the dragon formula to me. I don't really get it. I'd have to see some reviews
@@radoldrat yea i kinda feel the same, i love the 93s (and the x99s rule, i have the "runny bunny" ones just for my super-occasional visits to my skate park and theyre rly great) and if the 88s do still slide well then theyd be a total miracle for the rough-af crusty sidewalks and spots around me, but i have a bad feeling they might not be able to rly pull it off. fingers crossed though!
@heather-3904 oh interestingly enough I just noticed the guy I sold the Natas kitty too has it up on Facebook for sale haha
I am glad you did this video. Nobody needs to see this video from me 😂. I skate the same X99 wheels on two of my boards. They are my park boards, standard flight popsicle boards. I ride much bigger wheels in the bowl, 69mm minimum. I do ride Indy on a lot of my OG boards but if the bolt pattern allows for it I ride ACE. I do have two sets of slappy and love them for what I use them for, aka Slappy's. I have to leave my Heroin Swampy Wide Boy at home. If it goes in the car I don't skate my other boards. I absolutely love it, it is so fun. Ok stay Rad you old Rat.
Those are some rad rides my brother! And yeah something about those heroin boards just keep me off everything else! I'm definitely going to get another set of X formula for my egg, I've noticed they slide way better when doing nose slides etc and they don't stick. Stay rad my dude!
@@radoldrat appreciate your passion brother.
you need more boards !
I'm telling my wife you said so! 🙏🙏🙏
I have six setup currently I think. I’m in a perpetual state of either assembling or disassebling. The goal is always to have two setups. One cruiser and one for actual skating and occassionally that’s what I have setup. Then the urge to experiment extends beyond waiting for the one skate setup to be done and it builds from there. Currently I have 8.125”, 8.25”, 8.5”, 8.625”, 9” and 9.175” setups with varying wheel/truck brands, hardnesses, sizes, heights and shapes. But it’s enjoyable at least 😂. I’m due a disassembling bout soon I think but I think I’ll leave it for when the boards have earned their retirment.
Lol yeah man I get that big-time. Especially the "earned retirement" I always feel a little guilty if I don't skate one enough 🛹🐀
Not a single comment about having too many lol. I have an og Vision Joe Johnson Heiroglyphics with Indys, 59mm Vision Blurs, Cellblock risers pads and rails with the sexbolts. It just sits next to the Winkowski Crystal Cave, 159 Winkowski 8Baller Bronsons, 56mm OJ Keyframes, the 9" Creature Stump, Slayer MOB grip, Indy 159's and 56mm OJ Keyframes and the Hosoi hammerhead deck with clear MOB and photos of my son and I that he put under it. The last one is my favorite.
I'm definitely with my people here haha 🙏🙏
SUPER RAD!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🛹🐀
Nothing at all wrong with having a quiver of rides! I at one time had 12 setups lol. It's just fun to ride different boards sometimes and look at a different graphic even if the gear is all similar. I'm down to one now, a winkowski, but I'd like to set up a heroin curb crusher and perhaps a life skateboard as well so I still have some madness left in me. Probably always will lol. Have fun bro!
You're absolutely right man! It's nice to be able to look over at a different setup and think this is the mood I'm in today. Kind of like owning a few different guitars 💪😤
@@radoldrat my quiver is 11 right now lol 😂
The new intro is so good ❤
Thank you! 🙏🛹🐀
Nice choices to hang on to
What an awesome collection of boards brother rat!! I have the O.G. Lance Mountain in black in great condition hanging on my wall. So if your looking for a smaller egg, I'm currently skating a Krooked Mark Gonzalez egg that is 9.125 wide by 32 long with a 14.5 wheelbase. I've got Indy 159 trucks, 56 mm. X-Formula 99's, and some Bronson raws on it. But no rails or risers. I absolutely love it!! As always I love your vids!! Keep killing it Brother Rat!!🤘🛹🛹🤘
Thank you my brother! Stay rad! 🛹🐀
Sick set ups man!! Everyone is loving slappy trucks makes me wanna try them but I love my stage 4 Indys. Love the board for the little dude too!! Omar Hassan Board looks so awesome!!
Thanks brother! I've never tried stage 4 but I'm told slappy's are basically stage four Indies so yeah maybe you'd love them? 🛹🐀
@@radoldrat def gonna check them out then!!
Powell should make those sex bolts again. They're a fantastic product.
AMEN!! I'd use them on every setup if I could. I found some by a company called PENUS a while back on eBay but it seems like their shop has closed 🛹🐀
I second that motion 🤘 Bring back sex bolts
Nice fleet of boards ROR! 💚🛹
i don't own any trucks over 8.5" even on 9-10" boards, i like them a bit tucked.
Yeah I hear that! I get a lot of flack for not using 169s on boards this big but I like the 159s just fine 🛹🐀
@@radoldrat even on my smaller popsicle boards i tend to ride a size smaller trucks, like 139s on 8.25". but i like wider wheels so it kinda evens out. it does help them flip easier at the cost of slightly less stable landing, and i'm convinced they don't wheelbite as bad
@diplenski less chance of landing primo I think as well
