nothing makes a skateboard feel better than a fresh new set of wheels. silky smooth inspiration, rollin on the concrete. if you want to kickstart your Spring Skating, oil up your bearings and throw’em in a new set of wheels!

I got another set of Conspiracy 99a oranges. I think the SkateShopofAthens got onto an extra good batch…these things are INSANE FAST.

then again, I ain’t had new wheels in a year.

anyways, I set’em up with freshly Speed Creamed Bones Swiss 6balls on my big’ol 39″x8.5″ Gravity Jesse Parker. I’ve Been skating on longer boards since last fall and I’m just feeling good with it. full circle.

I’m 45, what’s YOUR excuse???

whatever, who cares.

I’m ready for Columbus.
