I see we're doing muirskate stickers. Here's an old one of mine.

73mm speed vents on a penny knock off. No asphalt crumbs can stop me.
would you recommend this?
If you're down to do some work: yes
It's a lot of fun if you want something with a tiny wheel base. Would not use as my primary/ only board. Would not use with the stock size of 59mm wheels. The speed vents really give that 'I can plow through most anything' feel. Limited by its wheel base though still.
I used to stand on it with one foot while coasting and weave through pedestrians in downtown Chicago (still on one foot for light turns). Picture it like riding roller derby style roller skates but it's only on one foot. It was a blast but stressful because I had to be aware of obstacles more than my longboards. I don't have much use for it now a days. I'd rather be on my Churchill LTD unless I were to skate to somewhere near home and want something I can stick under a restaurant table or something.
I have 1/8th inch risers on it too so it's pretty tall. I haven't been on my bustin boombox in a while but I think it might have been a little higher than the boombox. So there's that.
I never got around to swapping the garbage rock hard barrel board side bushing that came with the board BUT it's what's stopping me from getting wheel bite. I need something stiff but not as stiff as that one because it's hard to hold a turn. I put a soft cone on the bottom and it's the only reason the board turns at all. I used the correct bushing for my weigh board side and that was too soft. The board wobbled/ weaved like crazy (remember, short wheel base) when I would push.
There's also grip tape up top because I literally slipped off once and a foot stop in front because I've accidentally manualed when taking my back foot off to push. There's not a whole lot of room to stand on.
Edit: it's a kryptonics torpedo. Stock trucks. Stock board side bushing.
Thanks! Will try.
Watch out for wheel bite! Have fun
