FOR THOSE WHO POOL RIDE TO SLAYTANIC SOUNDS -- SKATING & SLAYING TIL DEATH.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on Australia’s Jackson Pilz (of Enjoi Bros.) pool-riding the "Hell Awaits" bowl on the then new episode of "Thrasher" Magazine's "King Of The Road" on Viceland, c. 2017. 📸: Joe Brook.
"Burning from within,
You know one spark is all it takes,
Hear the piercing cries of all
Who found that hell awaits."
,,i saw a beautiful opportunity today so i built a board for the first time (i have ridden prebuilds to this point)
it's jackson pilz' Toadadelic pro deck; 9.125x32.3 football shape with mellow concave and steep kick which???? amazing stats, absolutely perfect for me, also
I also love the aesthetic design of this deck; i love that they kept the woodgrain visible, i love that they gave it a split veneer, i love the palette they chose, and that they put the graphic off center, i love that the graphic is almost secondary to the wood of the deck itself, i love that the text on top relates to the graphic, and that the logo matches the colour on the flip side thereby bringing both sides together
so obviously i had to get clear griptape lmao i was back and forth between this clear mob and a dgk mushroom design bc it would match the toad but i eventually settled on clear to preserve the top side of the deck
the trucks are kien caple's K5 DLK trucks by krux. we werent familiar with kien before i bought these beautiful blue trucks that i thought would suit this board beautifully, but what a delight to discover that kien is also trans (transfem)!! a trans pro skaters trucks wowowowow!!!! and they have beautiful lovely doves on them too :)
the wheels are 55m 78a mini super juices by oj. the person helping me was astonished by how close the colour was to the colour of the deck, as was i. there were some sweet multicoloured spitfire classics that i was also considering, but i decided to stick with something closer to a cruiser wheel, which im more used to riding, and i love how i can see the bright pink wheel peeking out from the sides of the deck and seeing it with the green and blue
my partner graciously let me use his spare set of bones reds bearings, and the hardware is standard black indie, though i do want to look for some good gold hardware because Can You Imagine. it would be Beautiful
and then of course i added a couple stickers, the oj sticker down by the frog, and little alien sticking it out saying "lets get weird," which delighted me and which i thought would suit the theme of the deck. hes under the tape so hes nice and safe
Ive been standing on it in the apartment to get used to the feeling of it and to adjust the trucks, and the length of the board is soooooo prefect for me. Id go to step back after balancing on my front foot and id step right into the pocket, its perfect for my shoulder width. the steep kicks are awesome, they feel great for control for the limited amount i can get in here, aha, and the combination with the mellow concave is Awesome since im coming from crusier boards
I didnt set out to buy a board today, but man it really just jumped out at me. There were a couple really cool shapes at the shop today, and this was the best one. I was hypothetically looking at wheels and I asked if i could compare a couple sets, so i grabbed the board to put them against it at which point i was like,,,, i guess im gonna put this all together lmao. But it looks awesome!! and it feels good, and im excited to learn a trick or two on it this year

Il primo Festival senza la Principessa Grace. E il primo con una giuria interamente composta da addetti ai lavori. Tornano gli chapiteau blu del Circo Americano, al posto di quelli bianchi precedenti. Flavio Togni vince il suo secondo Clown d’Argento con lo straordinario numero misto di 4 cavalli palomini e 4 elefanti, ma sono quattro i numeri che porta e messi appunto appositamente per il Festival e pertanto inediti (presenta infatti anche due cavallerie e un gruppo di sei elefanti). In tanti gli avrebbero attribuito un Oro, ma la cinese Li Liping conquisterà la Giuria. Sergei Ignatov si aggiudica l’Argento, mentre il giovanissimo Antony Gatto di soli 10 anni penalizzato dall’esibirsi nello spettacolo della domenica pomeriggio, saprà farsi apprezzare al Gala e si accontenterà di premi speciali. Avrà tutta una carriera per dimostrare il suo talento. In alcune interviste il Principe manifesta disappunto e delusione per la scarsa partecipazione dei direttori di circo internazionali. Anche l’Associazione dei direttori di tutto il mondo langue e non porta a risultati concreti e man mano sfumerà. Nonostante questo, sarà un bel Festival che raccoglie alcuni dei migliori numeri degli anni Ottanta, da Ursula Bottcher ai clown Chickys. Nutrita la partecipazione italiana: oltre a Flavio Togni, Aris Macaggi, gli Aris Brothers (Macaggi), il Trio Chicago e Rodriguez al trapezino.
