MY NEW HOMIE!!!!

OKOK SO!!!! a little over a week ago i was on tiktok and i found this one dude who had a super dope fit and i think it was a fit check to my one favorite song, Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendancies and i commented and long story short we became moots and started talking and hes pretty freakin awesome sauce guys!!!!!

Hes showed me a whole freakin BUNCH of his cool music AND we had some music in common which was rlly rlly awesome too!! 

(are you still cheering for the 1980 US hockey team?)

ALSO ALSO ALSO!!!! YESTERDAY, as we've already covered i love everything skate related and have been trying to learn everything i can about it, so he was getting a WHOLE NEW SETUP, AND SHOES!!! (SUPER big deal and very awesome sauce) AND HE LET ME HELP PICK HIS SETUP!!!!!!

i was SUPER stoked about this, i know a LOT about boards, their weight, concave, shape, what'll be comfortable and practicle for different skill levels of skating, stuff like that AND HE LET ME HELP MAN!!!!!!!! I was SO SO SO stoked!! 

for his setup it is

Independent Trucks 139mm mid kingping

52mm conical cut Powell Peralta Dragon wheels

Reds Bearings (i think?)

Mob Griptape

and im not too sure about the board BUT there werent many size 8's so its some 8" BUT it looks amazing, PERFECT tail shape, amazing concave and the graphics pretty cool too!!

then he asked me for help setting it up too!!!!!!!!!

and dude im so freakin proud of him, first off he did his own grip which can be scary when you dont have alot of expierence AND HE DID AMAZING!!!!! Like BETTER THAN THE ONE I DID THE SAME DAY, AND IVE GRIPPED OVER 20 BOARDS!!! He did AMAZING man!!!

THEN, put the trucks and wheels on and all that WHICH isnt hard BUT its still fun and then the only other thing he needed help with was sinking the screws in the board BUT i give him major brownie points for doing everything else perfectly, LIKE DUDE!! He even cut the excess grip around the bolt holes AND I DIDNT EVEN TELL HIM ABOUT THAT!!!! Usually thats something I do, I feel like hes a natural man, hes doing amazing!!!!

im so stoked abt and for him man!! hes super freakin cool!!
