- In this video, I set up a brand new WKND skateboard deck and discuss why my setup is what it is now. I am riding Thunder Light trucks, Classic Spitfire formula 4 wheels, and Shake Junt bearings.

so confidently was I wrong about BBS, WKND is PS Stix, first non-BBS deck I’ve had in 2 years, skates great.
Your Quasi decks have probably been PS Stix... Some of their shapes are BBS like their twin tails, but most are PS.
use the wheels on your trucks to roll that grip tape to the board hommie.
Is fucking awesome/hockey PS Stix?
@@chadchadson1368they're bbs now
@@chadchadson1368they use to be I think they are BBS now tho
i started watching this video and was expecting to have thousands of likes because the editing and filming and vibe of it was amazing, great job👍
I love the ocd grip cutting.
1:52 My brother in Christ, what are you doing hahahaha I love it!
Wknd are actually made at ps stix my boy.
A fact. 100%
Yeah you can see the PS serial number etched in it
idk why I thought BBS was the only woodshop in Mexico 🤦
@@MattDiGi lol it's the best one in Mexico. I guess BBS is going to be using production in China for the price point boards and non pro models.
@@boogie.. bbs. I dont like even the decks made in mexico, something about the pop. Not a fan of the wood.
Ps sticks feels like a real skateboard to me. But its preference because I didnt realize till recently all the brands I skated growing up Ps sticks made.
Slappy Truck Co FTW
I wanted to try thunders because of how light they are and how good the turning is, but they’re pretty short compared to Indy’s and I always get wheelbite cause I’m fat 😂 But maybe I’ll get risers and try em one day
The Team Thunders are slightly higher than the regular ones
@@MattDiGi Oh okay! I didn’t know that haha
The thinner (forged) baseplates are definitely stronger than the thick (team) ones which are cast because of their molecular structure.
@@MattDiGi Team thunders are the standard thunders
@@krisdt25indeed, but the grind on the baseplate (if you have tiny wheels) isn’t as good because the metal is denser and harder :1
SUPER NICHE preference- but that’s just my experience
I love skating with independant trucks and spitfire formula four wheels 54mm with 99a. I also have bullet trucks which are pretty good.
Indy trucks are such perfection- hard or soft bushings! They just feel good!
Those boards got pop
Clearly the numbers between the wheels indicate Paul Schmitt made that deck
After you cut away the grip, I always file it off again, I dunno why but I find it feels a bit better to get rid of that bit of excess.
🙌🙌
Nice setup
Ive never seen anyone snap their rails with their deck before. Usually the rails just get ripped off not in half
Can you do a backside flip tutorial or maybe bigspin???
Idk if you ever rode it but your next setup you should try pepper grip. It's like right in the middle of mob and Jessup. It's that perfect grip that won't eat your shoes in a week but still feels super nice when flicking
The stick doesn’t last long tho if you skate around a lot of dust and dirt
board looks dope!
Nice setup boi
This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique and will be remembered for generations
Hey Matt: My 11yr old is a beginner with 6 months experience. He has been using chocolate 8.25 ricta 92d wheels and royal trucks. He asked for a new setup for xmas and I bought this:
Quasi 8.0 fast car 2 deck
Independent Silver Stake 11 139s
G3 Bronson Bearings
Spitfire 54mm formula 4s
1/8 Independent risers
My question; did I do well buying the risers ?
No risers
Risers might make the board too tall since Indy’s are relatively tall trucks but he might like the feel of a really tall board so you can add them or take them off depending on how he feels. You might also need to get longer hardware of your hardware is too short to fit the risers
@@chhris1902 thnx
I also skate ace but I just got the ishod blood sport raw thunders.
Hey what’s your truck’s size ?
i also changed to thunders
I think royals are better than aces for ledges.. I had a set of gold aces for a few months wasnt even down to the king pin yet an I hit a ledge an caught on the smooth waxy ledge an it CRACKED have no idea how I thought I hit a chip on the ledge or something but it was still smooth but the truck was cracked 😂 I put on my old back up royals that's damn near the king pin hit the ledge saucy.. I only ride Indys or royals now days everytime I try something new it goes bad like with the aces 😅
what's making u want to switch from classic to conical?
I know its been said already 😂but point at ps stix serial #, this a bbs for sure 😂
Ooooph.
You are part of that 2% crew(in your way).
Don’t jump into the boring dark side.
It takes time but it shows its teeth one day when you’re much older.
Some need that journey…
My advice:
Do you first, always.
I heard GF and full time and threw up in my mouth a little.
My experience and the most or all I’ve witness…. A real bummer but also teachable moments.
Do you recommend wearing a helmet when you start out skating?
No
when you start out definitely. you don’t want brain damage from simply rolling on your board, save that for the 10 stairs
Yes. Get pads even.
It will save you money on bandages and ER visits.
Just stick a shibble load of stickers on your helmet to make yourself feel extra cool :)
I actually prefer ps stix over bbs.
Sand a gridtape next to your own bed😂
wat bearings you ride
1:33
skeins ok ns ok ks
I run Thunder 148s with thin (forgot measurements) risers, I was getting hella wheel bite especially since I ride looser trucks and roll on OJ key frame Plain Jane wheels.
I think ima stick with Shake Junt grip, mob ruins my shoes and my fingers too fast.
I ride mainly for filming and skating transition, just started getting into street skating so ima need to get some harder wheels.
What wheels should I get?
spitfire f4
