Alright gentlemen, I gave fixing my air compressor two honest tries. No dice.

So I bought a replacement!

BOOYAH boys! I’m back in business!

This one was well reviewed, and the price was right. It’s quieter than my Paasche. I’ll be testing it out tomorrow, and I’m excited to see how well it works.

While I was in limbo with waiting for parts and then this new one, I got some work done on some of the skate setups I’ve been building!

This one’s “Gettin’ Busy”, my ULTIMATE STREET build:

And this here is “DESTROY I” my ULTIMATE CRUISER build so far. The grip tape came pre-printed and I tore/cut it into the abstract shatter pattern because I thought the orange stain would look cool showing through:

That one will get trucks and bearings and wheels tomorrow.

Okay enough SKATE OR DIE. Back to Spare Parts tomorrow / this weekend!
