That is a very very nice homage to the old school with new school gear. I'd love to find that Scram Whopper or something similar. Can't wait to see more skating with that deck. Super nice job.
Thank you! Really appreciate it! It rides like a dream! Check Old Skull Skates or SoCal Skates - I’ve seen this deck there in the not too distant past
Blast Skates decks come in a paper bag thingy, instead of the plastic wrap! I thought i was really neat 😄
That’s awesome - had no idea, but I really like that they do that!
Hammerhead! I just got a Dogtown Aaron Murray 9.25..OG decks FOREVER!
Heck yeah! That Murray Dogtown is killer! Old school all the way!
Old school style decks are the best! Riding an elephant street axe and heroin eyeballer atm.
Oh wow, those are great decks! What wheels are you rocking with those?
@@GeezerSkateCo on both decks I use spitfire tablets 54mm or if I want something a little bigger 56mm slimeballs
05:12 I was really looking forward about Lil Jawns Risers, it was the main reason I watched this video (I do like all your videos).. If I remember right, they were made by Santa Cruz & they were amazing with Tracker Trucks (for me at least!)
46yo Geezer skater here and proud! lol I just purchased my first board in 20 years. Vids up on my yt channel.
That deck has a rad shape. I love those risers!. Great looking set-up man. The only thing I would have done personally is ditch the white wheels for some that are the same bluish color in the deck art. I love colors on boards. haha 80's! Good vid
Thank you for the suggestion! I think I have a set of turquoise wheels from H-Street - I’ll need to dig them out to see if they work. Keep on skating, fellow Geezer!
Graphic kind of looks like old Schmitt Stix Chris Miller.
Good call, didn’t even think of that! I wonder if that was an inspiration for this graphic?
Love the shirt nate 🤘🤘🤘🤘
What a beauty! Nice setup!
Thank you - digging it so far - this deck rides like a dream!
Awesome setup
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites!
Looks good 👍
Thank you, appreciate it!
Beautiful job and board ! Love it !
Thank you! Really appreciate it. It rides like a dream!
love setups like these new companys with old shapes n stuff
Awesome! Do you have a favorite? We’d love to hear what you’re riding!
Saw you at carpenter this morning!👍🏻
Oh cool! Were the guy on the BMX? It was a great sesh that morning!
@@GeezerSkateCo no i was barely getting there on my skateboard as you were leaving i knew you looked familliar lol!
Nice setup. Love those bulbous wheels. 😍
Me too! They skate nice so far - can’t wait to give them more time at the park!
@@GeezerSkateCo Have you tried them yet? I've been hunting for a wider old school shape wheel in a harder duro. They hardly exist past 97a. The wheels were the reason I clicked, but you hardly mentioned them.
@@shitfer - Great question - here's another I video I made after riding them for a while - ruclips.net/video/ZDbJU3yYUQg/видео.html - overall, they're ok, but not the best. I'm on the hunt for something else - might get something Rain Skates next to try out.
@@GeezerSkateCo I found a set at the local shop. For those that want an idea of these wheels they're the same shape as Powell Mini Cubes but in a 62mm package & 99a duro. I'm looking forward to these. I wish they'd make a set in 58 or 60, but they're going on a big park deck so it's all good.
Thanks for the link.
@@shitfer Let me know what you think after skating them for a while
Sick setup🤙🏼
Thank you, Jason! Really appreciate your support!
You need the old school round head bolts to hold your trucks on
Is there a specific brand to look for with these?
I ordered those 62mm Road Crew wheels before the trucks and was wondering how much width do they add to the axles? Great video. Keep up the awesome work. Im putting together an 80s replica of a Santa Cruz. Thanks!
Isn't the deck 80's ish ? Absolutely !!!!! the cut straight across nose is of a Christian Hosoi basis
It feels very much like an 80s board! It came out in 2018, but feels a lot like the old Hosoi’s. Love riding it!
the heroin eyeballer is a 80s shape but with newer concave and razor edge!
Just checked that one out - that’s a killer deck! Definitely want to add one of those to the collection! Thanks for the heads up!
Killer wheels, super wide and hard!
Thanks! Dig them big! What do you ride?
I really want to try ace but they wouldn’t mount to my old school caballero deck so I went with indys, maybe in the future I’ll try some🤙
Ah, totally understand the struggle with new and old school hole patterns! Wish the Ace would have the double set like Indy does. If you get a setup with Aces, let us know what you think!
Sick video, my daily driver is a 9.8” heroin deck with 169 Indy’s, orange 60mm skull skate wheels, Indy risers and Bronson bearings and been rocking that setup for about 5 years aside from the deck I replaced multiple times. Sometimes I wonder if we’re really heading forwards or backwards in skate design
Thanks! That sounds like an awesome setup you have! Good point about skate design. I just finished reading the Secret History of the Ollie by Craig Snyder, which is about way more than just the Ollie. In it, he deep dives into the evolution of skateboard tech and design and what’s really interesting is that back in the 60s/70s, skateboard shapes/materials were changing a few times a year, then the shape most commonly associated with the 80s appeared and that lasted until about 89, then in ‘91 or so the popsicle appeared and for over 30 years that’s been the dominant shape. The reissue craze isn’t going anywhere, but neither are the popsicles. Is there anything else that can be done with the basic skateboard? I have no idea, but am curious to see what else is out ther
Woah, didn't expect to see you on this cool channel I recently found! Small website!
i have to leave before the 12 yr old me finds out im watching this and beats my ass
Your secret’s safe with us!
🤘❤️🤘
Rock!
I refuse to use rails that have the 5 hole pattern ! Cant stand them, but also dont understand the point of 5 hole rails ! What's the duro of the wheels? And thats a killer setup ! I skate a big ol Santa Cruz Old school with 169s and 65mm/78a Slimeball swirls that match the deck. G3 Jaws bearings.
That sounds like a killer setup! I just got a set of those G3 Bronson bearings - great bearings! I haven't skated those Slimeballs - how do you like them? The Road Crew Scram wheels are 99a, but are kind of weird feeling. I've changed them out for Dragon wheels and digging those so far
Hey mr.geezer new subscriber could you do a board reveiw of
"Moose blank old school skateboard decks " from amazon? Im not sure if i should get it but some reveiws look good but id rather hear it from mouth and a vid
Great idea - let me see if I can pick one up here soon and see what it's like. Thanks for the tip!
Moose decks are awesome.
Hey dude,where can i buy the lil jawn riser pods?..
www.liljawnsrails.com/product-page/jawn-block-riser-set - if you want a custom color, just DM Corey (he’s the head of Li’l Jawns) - he’s got several colors he can create them in
I can only be old school or no school
No school like the old school!
Are the bushings too loose on the trucks?
Possibly - are there bushings you'd recommend I try with this setup?
@@GeezerSkateCo i just got mine and they are way too loose stock out of the bag - think hard bushings would help? not sure which ones are compatible?
Where do I get those risers?
www.liljawnsrails.com - they can make custom rails for you too!
@@GeezerSkateCo Thanks for the response. Something most people don't use anymore... Sex Bolts, Rat Nuttz, Plug Nuttz, whatever you wanna call them. I use them in all my decks with railz. You should do a video on them. How they work, how to install them ect. All the young kids are like what are those!? The Geezers are like man I haven't seen those in years! I'm just trying to keep em alive. Sometimes their hard to find but, they are also 10x better than the wood screws we get with most railz imo. Rad Railz sells them in packs of 10. That's the ones I've been using. They work with their railz and with Powell Rib Bones. Haven't tried them with other railz yet but I plan to. They work with Powell Flight Decks also. Love them on my 9.13 Andy Anderson deck!
I'm 28 so I'm somewhere in the middle of kid and geezer. Old skool if where it's at for sure tho. Shaped decks, wide wheels, & deck railz for the win. 👊😎
@@joshuadugan1931 - that is a great idea! Heck yeah, thank you, I will definitely do that! I'll check out the ones from Rad Rails and see if I can find anyone else doing it too. Thanks for the tip! And that Andy Anderson is a killer deck! Got to ride one about a week ago - so nice!
