[@null_x2265]

The fundation super co. bones 55mm, Bearings Red and truck thunder 😌👌

[@3jsu5]

8 inch boards with a 14 inch wheelbase, mob grip, venture 5.2 low, 50mm spitfire f4 classics, bones swiss, 7/8 allen bolts 🙌

[@AbenteuerWildnis]

I ride: Deck --> 8.25" 'World Industries' Trucks --> Independent 144 high Wheels --> OJ Elite 53mm Bearings --> Bones 'Big Balls" For me the perfect deck size for street and park! 👌 Regards from Austria! 🛹🇦🇹🛹

[@ieuangwynne7736]

I like clear trip with a cool graphics ontop

[@goldleader6169]

8.25 PlanB team board, mellow concave, venture hollow lights and spitfire tablets formula4 54mm, Andale bearings, whatever grip i have lying around not picky about that

[@tomguarente]

literally researching new setups and you upload this, perfect timing - am going for a Shin Sanbongi polar deck as well !

[@ZackDowdy]

Sick!

[@ericmoreno4642]

What's the size of this board? Couldn't catch up on the video...

[@BrendanBFree]

Polar skateboards are sick! I love their wider boards and they make them quite short, so you can still skate an 8.75 and have the nice crisp short flick

[@topdeckdog]

I love their shapes but need to see some wheelbases closer to the 15" mark before i pounce :/

[@burneraccount9829]

just about to setup my 2nd shaped Polar board....love them so much...especially for curbs....and neil blender art on board....so sick...

[@d.l.barlow8724]

I've been skating a similarly shaped deck that I made. Only difference is that the nose is very short, almost as short as a cruiser but still kicked up. I like that nose to tail taper👍👍

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

Very nice set up, my skate shop doesn’t have a house deck like that otherwise I would probably try that. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey.

[@MC_795]

I did the same thing with the winkowski shaped deck. I loved it so much I bought another one right after. That was a couple years ago now you can hardly find those

[@SunriseSessions]

Hi Zack. Thnx heaps! For AF1 trucks for this deck would you go with the 55 or the 60? Hard to decide die to the taper.

[@mortyelectro]

Both will be fine imo😊👌🏻

[@vorpalblades]

Seems very similar to the Flip Lance Mountain Crest. One of my favorite decks.

[@RJ-eo2dg]

Have you ever skated old school decks? I want to get one

[@ZackDowdy]

yes!

[@RikRiorik]

I love your style dudemeister. Both on the board and on the bod. Crisp. Absolutely do a Lurpiv review when you get them. Living in Sweden I’ve definitely been considering getting them. I’ve got a Flip Mountain Crest 8.75” that feels like it might be roughly the same shape as that board. Only skated straight up popsicle shapes so I’m wondering how it’ll feel.

[@ZackDowdy]

I can't wait to try them out!

[@RikRiorik]

@@ZackDowdy give them the full nine yards! And if you wouldn’t mind measure how they affect the wheel base in comparison to for example Indies.

[@dimsumchili]

would you recommend a size 139 size trucks to go with that shape? or would you say that is too small

[@ZackDowdy]

Yeah too small imo

[@charlesging4630]

Hey Zack! Love your videos. Wondering if you could do a video on pool coping grind technique. I find that I get hung up very easily on pool coping even if there's a relatively fresh layer of clear coat on it. Thanks!

[@ZackDowdy]

I'm working on a bowl skating sorta masterclass video I'll make sure to include this!

[@beemelonhead1]

6:00 the sing reminds me so much of Pink Floyd- "Dogs"

[@peinves662]

The shop recommend me a 44 aces for that board ?(I ordered 8.75 but I measured and the top is 8.66). Should I go with 44 or 55?

[@ZackDowdy]

55!

[@Skateboardingofficial]

Great setup video 🔥

[@davidbruening6405]

Nice trick with the gorilla glue on the rails. What version of gorilla glue was it? I was under the impression that all of their glue kinda bubbled up when drying.

[@vorpalblades]

Gorilla glue sucks. Liquid Nails works great.

[@marissac870]

Chris copes shape. A very good shape. Try it out. I got three of them cause I loved it so much and I'm also shaping my own board with the cope as the template hah. Mash

[@jeremymoorer1611]

Shape is similar to my new deal Danny Sargent Deck, just smaller.

[@twoscoops4181]

Very epic video, loved it

[@dadboard]

What’s your take on welcome boards?

[@ZackDowdy]

They're cool - I would probably checkout SCRAM skates before though.

[@robertborden2666]

I picked up some Bronsons for my small wheels and right out of the gate they’re pretty slow. I’m not sure what I got exactly but I was hoping they were better. My son has different Bronsons that are the fastest I’ve ever tried. It’s also weird that small wheels would work better for slappies. Always thought bigger wheels would ride over the bumps a lot more confidently. But I’ll keep trying it with my 52s and see if it’s better than my cloud 56s.

[@ZackDowdy]

I always thoughts bigger wheels would help with slappys too! Now that I can do them a little better I've found the truck goes directly into the curb faster with the small wheels. I totally agree about Bronsons too, bit slow.

[@robertborden2666]

@@ZackDowdy I must find out what kind of Bronsons are in my son’s board (or hijack them 🤫). I see the guys at my street spot getting slappies all night long and they all have the small wheel setup and bash it up and then do some crazy variations the rest of the way. One guy just leans and lets chaos take over!

[@jeremymoorer1611]

Neal is Great🔥

[@datukalex]

That scooter kid @6:01 who used up two of his lives passing in front of you 🙂

[@ZackDowdy]

He held no mercy

[@mead2176]

The Black label deck that I skate has a similar shape in a 8.88.

[@SchwappSchwopp]

Song starting at 5mins?

[@shastamcnasty2159]

Just ordered 6 polar decks for 45$ a piece, they're popular here on the east coast.

[@versnellingspookie]

$45 you say? They're at least €60 - €75 where i live 🤯 Luckily i know someone with a deck company who sells blank decks for €110 for 5 decks (7.625 - 8.5) or screened decks for a bit more

[@peinves662]

What is the size of the board?

[@ZackDowdy]

After the session I measured the deck :)

[@josefenge1332]

I like mob because of how gripes it is but it is ok if like Jesup

[@ZackDowdy]

Totally!

[@josefenge1332]

@@ZackDowdy that is cool that you read the comments most youTubers don’t

[@johnautry2711]

159’s????

[@ZackDowdy]

Yeah ACE's 66 are pretty close to Indy's 159's

[@johnautry2711]

Are you skating Ace 100% of the time now. I been skating Indy’s since 1988 , hard to step away from them

[@vityagreen120]

1st 🔥

[@inspirationx1]

Idk: smashing your skate is weak minded. You’re not dominating anything taking that route.

[@ZackDowdy]

It's not cool I agree, I would argue however it did dominate one thing - a sense of satisfaction from the release of energy that wasn't coming out in tricks. But I'm with you, typically I'll never assault my skateboard.
