Post your Pool/Park setups!

169s are 9" axle-tip-to-axle-tip so they fit best on 9" wide boards. For an 8.5" deck I'd suggest 149s unless you want your wheels sticking out the side which is kinda goofy.

Look at his website, you can mix and match shaped from different boards of send him a shape that have designed. my board is loosely based on the "Schralpster" with the nose and tail mods that I wanted. He has 2 molds a narrow (under 9.5") mold which has a max WB of less than 16"and a wide (more than 9.5" wide) which can support a WB up to 18" I think. Both my boards I ordered on a wednesday, he usually presses on the weekend and my board was on my doorstep about 7 days after I ordered.

Cool thanks for the info. I wanted to try and use 5 points to make a board based loosely on the superglider, only smaller and a little more geared toward the park. A hybrid of sorts- take a shot at that mythical board that you can ride to the park and in the park.

I may just wait and see what EW comes out with ie miniglider.

Are these easily available again? I tried to get one about 6 months ago to no avail.

**muk_mb** · 09-30-2009 07:41 PM

Oh crap, maybe not. Daddies doesn't have em anymore!

**circle** · 09-30-2009 09:10 PM

Anyone remember the thread someone made about their Stinger setup?

It had 169s and Gravity Burners. I'm looking for it to see the pics

No I don't think so. I picked up my cw parkbomb mini (last one) at a local skateshop. before that I had emailed coldwar directly and there doesn't seem to be a production run or anything that will happen anytime soon.

**endzone_bob** · 10-01-2009 11:33 AM

Randy from Cold War said something about not having a reliable source for quality wood supplies, I believe.

So, I reckon it's much better to have limited availability than for him to compromise on his raw materials.

Just got it 2 days ago to replace my stolen bigfoot. I have not even had the opportunity to ride it yet. Hopefully this weekend.

Indy 169
Rat Bones 60mm 85a - I mostly ride Lansdowne, it's a 70's era park and I love these wheels on that surface. I've got a set of 95a's on the way for smoother surfaces.

**Terrorsathan** · 01-06-2010 01:42 PM

I don't have a picture but here's what it consists of:

Indy 169/Bones Mediums

Thanks man! I was hoping to get out there this weekend, never used to matter when I was a teenager and in my twenties, but these days I'm not sure how stoked I am to go skate in 30 degrees temperature and wind...

You know Lansdowne, it's so flat and open. With a strong wind at your back you can start and back end of the park and just fly up to the other end, once you round the smurf and start to head back your pumping like mad trying to keep speed and eventually just stop...
