"Get to the choppa!!!" Love those movies. Seen them all but that newest one. Thanks for the reviews on the stage 4's. Bought a set and found some replacement Indy bushings (94a) if needed from TGM out of Michigan but I think I'm going to take your advice first and see if I like them loose with the red 90a bushings first. I guess you have to use only the Stage 1 through 7 bushings on the stage 4's from what I've heard. I dont know though, I might throw some hard venom bushings on them and see what that does. Like always, bro, love the vids! Always, "serviceable and reliable" Keep cool, bro.
Thanks brother!! I haven't seen Prey yet either but there a good used DVD exchange spot a few blocks from my house and im sure ill run in to it sooner or later. I enjoy the series and i think the second one is super under-rated. Sick cast... Gary Busey, Maria Conchita Alonso and Danny Glover with the Desert Eagle Mark VII! Killer flick ... The 90a is pretty soft for me but so far they are rebounding really well. I have some points saved up with NHS skate direct and when i make my next order im going grab the Black 94s as well cause i have a feeling those 90s are going to loos their energy pretty quickly. Let me know if you try those venoms and how they fit. Thanks again, Randal. Talk to you soon.
@@UnlawfulAssemblyMFG No doubt, bro! That was an underrated movie. Loved Glover in that along with Busey. Busey was a dick in that flick but kinda cool though. Great character actor. Glover also dropped his Desert Eagle off that mid-rise chasing that beast. Made me sick to see that but at least he chopped off its forearm. Wicked movie. Okay, man I'll let you know about the Venoms. It's just super squishy with those stock reds on them. Take care, bro.
I'm about to join that hair club, ha. Think I may "come out" on my 46th birthday in a few weeks. I've just been wearing hats in public for the last decade or more, but not fooling anyone and it's time. I have been following the Heated Wheel and intrigued by their Polarizers and other carving-type shaped decks, I hope to pick one up and ride one someday. Love anything that Blender is involved in. I have a pair of the Ace 66s and like them, those little ones look cool. I have a pair of Indy 109s on a Welinder reissue freestyle board setup, but those are kept pretty tight for tricks. This looks good, dig the grip job and I look forward to hearing how it rides. Does the Bank Mauler have any concave? IIRC the Polarizer top is actually convex in profile, which sounds counterintuitive but must have some benefit to carving around.
I'm digging the club thus far, Pj. I was a big fan of G&S when Blender was on their team and then when he departed to start workshop and build that team. The Bank Mauler does have concave and its pre-drilled and those two factors are why i chose it vs making one. So far i am enjoying learning how to skate it. The Ace 00 turn way better than the Indy 109s. I feel like the 109s king pin is too short or something? I started making the templet for the home made polarizer. Hopefully ill be able to put together a video comparing the two once its complete. How's the growing season working out? Your videos are immersive and relaxing and i've been enjoying them.
100% correct on that, Wills! Dre has been the fakest doctor for the longest period of time and probably made the most money, too. Thanks for check out the video. Hope all is well.
I was really looking forward to your next video and I wasn't let down. Always the raddest decks and set-ups! I checked out the specs on this and was blown away by the wheelbase. About 20" That's huge for a board that size. I would love this in my cruiser collection. I just got the Vision Aggressor 2 double pleasure deck and made a cool video for it. Happy to see what the godfather thinks. Check it out. ☮
Thanks, Johnny! I gotta get the trucks dialed in. The Ace 00 are supposed to have a way better turn than the Indy 109s. I’m hoping works out for cruising and that I can run some park laps as well. Bro… I saw that video 👀 totally rad. Love the effects, editing and the music selection. You went the extra mile painting the base plates and hangers. A proper tribute to a sick board. What are your thoughts on the Tensors? I know you’ve got a few setups that you can attack, carve and slash lines on. Are you happy with how the trucks are preforming so far?
@@UnlawfulAssemblyMFG I was totally worried I would regret a little paint in the pivot, but no problem at all. Love the feel of that deck with the Tensor trucks. I did just recently put the Tracker Losi's on the Hosoi. They feel great and the Tensors feel good too. If have to think this hard about the difference when carving/flowing is how I spend hours a day, then they must not be too far off. Aggressor 2 both has the same basic 3 specs as the Hosoi that you and I both have, but it feels like the steady width of the Hoiso makes it slower somehow when I used the exact same trucks and wheels. I love the nostalgia and it still carves nice and rad for manuals with those fat tails. Well, I'm working on it. Between that and the 82a snakes on the Madness I got a little road rash lately. Basic Tensor is an awesome value for the money, but I don't do tricks and I'm pretty sure grinding curbs cuts them up. I'm just out for cruising. Thanks.
nice man. earlier today i was just thinking about your next upload; almost been too hot out to skate, so i sit around inside watching skate videos. contemplating buzzing the hair off myself to survive the heat! funky deck. been thinking of putting together penny board/mini cruiser with indy 109s (that's what that shape reminds me of, just larger). unfortunately all the "smaller" decks these days & "minis" remind me of average decks i grew up on during the mid 90s, so don't really want to ride any of them because i never liked that size. i actually need something even smaller so it doesn't feel like a "normal" setup. like the beat, i'm actually in the middle of recording some music myself while watching this vid. on the opposite end though, i've been trying to enjoy my 10in vision modern concave ghosts with 215s, definitely getting another one and redrilling wheelbase down to 14.5 with smaller wheel and trying it out as a street deck!
Luckily the heat has been bearable here. Ill always take the summer steam over a deep winter freeze. You'll have to let me know how the 215mm perform for you with a smaller wheel base. I moved the 215s I have on my Madness back to the 14.5 and it was a little sketchy. Gonna take some getting used to for sure. Do you upload your music anywhere? I'd love to check it out if you do. I've been digging through some of the loop packs on garage band and i wanna try to make some dark lofi and some ridiculous synthwave sounds.

sick set up! Cheers for the video- Still think Dr Dre has the gold for fake titles.
