I remember the 'tiffanys' being on sale at one point, hope you didn't pay too much.

As above, so about 117 EUR delivered, which is good. I paid more for the purple grapes RRP and the custom rose ones in the pic were 140 (with a discount I got). The rose recrafts arriving tomorrow were 110 EUR delivered and inc. their fees. Not bad! Although some of the ones I want now... more costly. These seem more reasonable considering and I don't care about the "rare" factor as I just want them to wear.

I feel like I might have to join in soon! I'm more of an SB guy

Another saddle to try, the Selle Well Gel...

the SB Janoski Airs have to be some of the most comfortable trainers I've ever owned!

I wouldn't have skated in them though. Fresh grip tape would have your toes showing after a few sessions

A cheapo usb headset as I'm spending 2 days a week in an open office where several people are on the same teams meetings - the feedback and echo is too much not too

May as well use my pic from winter thread again, 2 bulk bags, tonne each I think. one plum slate the other granite chips about £150 for both delivered, the granite chips been about half the price of the other (jagged Edge so I have used in my parking bit)

I didn't get another pair after the Volts

Those infernos are sweet. I've got some lowish offers on on them. I probably shouldnt have put out 13 bids on stockx, a set of the OG volts just got confirmed at 104 euros inc shipping and stuff. Hadn't planned on so many sets, I'm getting the hang of this stockx thing... in an expensive but satisfying way haha

That's 3 new sets this month! Saying that it's the first trainers I've bought in about 3 years, so you know.

That's a gold sovereign, because I'm apparently a swanky git. 0.235 troy ounces of gold. Technically legal tender with a face value of £1. It cost... more than that.

Always, always sand the grip tape slightly

Did you buy “new” or second hand. Keen to get the odd piece of gold for long term investment but all online places charge loads of fees to take it way above market rates.

It's been a long time since I've skated. I was really tempted to buy a cheap set up and hit my local park and just pump around the ramps and a bit of a flatland... then I realised I would be that weird 30 year old guy in the skatepark.

must've been about 9/10 years since I've last skated properly. I can still do sketchy heel flips so all is not lost... yet. Lol.

Better than me, I dare not stand on my old Habitat board with Pig wheels that are barely thick enough to be called wheels now

That and the extra pounds will certainly lend to the board snapping haha

Ha Habitat was one of the last boards I owned! I was a huge alien workshop fanboy, my Jason Dill board is still one of my favourite decks I've ever owned but if I remember correctly Habitat and AWS were closely related so they felt similar.

My last set up which I bought about 6 years ago was an Enjoi bored had lost most of its pop but that was cause I some how managed to break my Girl board whilst having a game of skate. 40mm wheels and a nice skinny (by today's standards) 7.5" board. Good times.

I'd love to know where my stuff has all gone. Lovely weather today would've been perfect for my old S9 longboard. May have to look into getting an evolve electric board soon!

Oh, mines next to my desk, has been for about ten years

I just can't be bothered with lighting the coals Tbh.

I often just come home and whack a few sausages on for dinner and doing charcoal for just that is overkill

I'm resolved that when I move house, I get one with a bit of shelter out the back that i can leave a gas BBQ under. I'd love to be able to just turn it in and cook with no fuss, any night, same as the oven.

I love BBQ but hardly do it now as it's just so much fuss. Used to enjoy making a thing of it before I had kids.

I managed to get most of the recrafts in the sales for about £70. Apart from the rose pinks. Though they were still about retail on stockx.

Love the recraft shapes and the IIIs both.

Element for me, Spitfire Powercore wheels (the tiny ones), Bones Reds bearings and Destructo Lows.

I figure I can still skate perfectly... Haven't tried in a decade, but until proven otherwise... Right??

Loved spitfire wheels. I had some of their wheels, I can't remember the name but it was essentially their version of the ricta cores. They had a hollow/waffle core that you could see through them. I remember I bought them from a shop called fifty-fifty in Bristol. Was super excited, popped the Bones Blacks in them (i used reds 90% of the time, these were a birthday gift) and off I went to skate around town... You know when new wheels have that really shiny layer on them? Well in the most populated area of town the wheels just lost all grip and I hit the ground like a pack of spuds! It was like when you hit a litte stone but there was no stone and I still had to get up an chase my deck

I was always a fan of Tensor Low trucks but I also had a nice set of Thunders once too.

This is all really making me want to get a new board even if it's just to push around on
