hearts & minds

after painting a bamboo deck, finding meaning, then discovering the board would not stand up to the test of time, I did my research, headed over to Thuro skateshop and went about assembling the very best, toughest board I could. I picked up some Shark Wheels (the wave pattern rolls straight but ensures a likely hood of hitting debris at an angle), Avenue GEN 2 trucks (trucks with suspension for an absurdly smooth ride), and Bones ceramic bearings.
