mini logo makes excellent products, especially for the price. i really like their wheels and bushings. decks are good too, especially if you like flatter boards
I’m in the same boat. I’ve been casually skating on and off for two years now. I’ve got popsicles in every width from 8-9.5, Thunder, Slappy, and Indy trucks in all the sizes. Wheels in every brand, shape and size, all the different brand bearings, two cruiser set ups, yet I still haven’t landed a rolling Ollie. But to heck with it. I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford it. Might as well try them all. Finally got smart enough to spend money on a helmet.
Thanks for watching it! True, but I'm running out of space! I gotta use up some stuff before I buy any more I think. (though I did try out someones eggzilla today... damn)
@@BenBlack_ they're nice, just break into a slide a bit easier than i'd like. if i pump/carve/pivot too hard the back will break loose when i'm not expecting. i like a traditional 97 duro the best, but i do like the quieter, softer ride of the x formula so i suppose it's a fair trade
wide boy seems sick. i don't own any trucks bigger than 8.5" and never had them on board bigger than 10". they were fine on it, but had big wide wheels
Sick! Super dope, you got me sending this video and liking it with a thumbs up hahaha classic bro thank you keep doing you. Please for the love of god never change. You had me at hello.
i'm pretty well stocked for gear. i don't get rid of stuff either, so i have a bin of skate parts(trucks, wheels, etc) from the last 30 years. i posted some videos going over my stuff too if you care to check them out
Great edit dude, because of the lightning it looks like big money stuff (who knows, maybe it is) 😃! I watched it from beginning to end if it means anything to you. 😂 The Arbor looks almost completely like my Santa Cruz oldschool as for the shape goes. The Panda one's like a monster truck. Of course the fav is the pink one. Cheers! Oh and next time include the tortoise too!
I thought I might have to. It's a shame as the idea of spray on grip is great, and it looks fantastic, but sadly doesn't peform to the same standards. Maybe I'll leave it alone and just glue my shoes to it. 🤣
It wasn't that big of a deal really. I just took a piece of sandpaper to it for a few minutes. It goes away surprisingly quick. If you grip on top of it though it doesn't stick AT ALL lol

Absolutely. My wife's mini logo board feels great!

A man after my own heart! What's your go-to setup?
@ chocolate/girl g080 8 inch twin tail, currently on thunder hollow light 147, 54mm dragon wheels with bones Swiss and mob grip.
Twin tails and Dragons are the way to go!
Thanks for the video! Keep skating!
And hey, as long as you aren't going hungry... buy/try all the gear you want! Nothing wrong with that.
Thanks for watching it!

You’re making some skate shops very happy.
I can't say the same for my wallet.
i have a few sets of x97 56mm v6
I've never tried the X-Formula wheels. I might pick some up when I need another set.

@@diplenski I'm curious about the x99s

The Wide Boy is great fun. You should definitely try out some 10" trucks. You can 5050 things you didn't even realize were grindable.
I too have "the affliction".... first step is stepping out of the denial...
You're right...... my name is Ben, and I'm a skate gear addict.
Either to much time or to much money maybe both 😂 cracking vid dude looking forward to watching the follow ons 😊
Just time, I'm afraid! I have a lot planned, just waiting on the weather!
@BenBlack_ we will have to link up at some point be nice to see thoes monsters in person .. keep it up
@@entwinedfish46 definitely!
Good job bean! ❤
Thank's superbean!

I'm definitely not worthy of such praise but I appreciate it mate!
I thought this was a video about synthesizers and music gear at first lol
I can barely play the guitars I have let alone synthesizers! they confuse me
Maybe that demoncleaner can add introduction music, background music, and closing music for this video UA-cam producer. 🎹🎬 - YourManFromAmsterdam

Had a look and subbed! nice stuff ya got there!
That Landyacthz is crazy, gotta do a vid of you skating that!
Absolutely! There's a potholed, dirt and gravel track not far from me that I've been eyeing up for when the weather's good.

Definitely not big money stuff! Appreciate the full watch, you must be a glutton for punishment.
I can't wait for better weather to use em all!
@@BenBlack_ @BenBlack_ man you got a pocket THREE. Its big money! 😀
@@boardtrippin I wish! It's Sophie's!
I'm the same way.
Seems like you have a touch of the 'tism/OCD as well.
I have piles of gear waiting to go.
But I've been skating since '85.
I've definitely got a touch of something! 🤣 You should make a video of all your stuff! I love a good gear vid.
Good job Ben, thanks interesting and fun topic.
Thanks mate! Bring on summer!
Total normal. I have four complete oldschool setups, and skate five time in a year.
@@tvnist one for each day, plus a spare, just in case!
You'll have to sand that top down to re-grip. I had a cruiser what stuff and it's trash
