This man got told by his fans "i'd cop your board if your board was wider." And he changed his whole setup AND is documenting the ups and downs for us. Tom Asta...a man of the people.

@matildagreene

the sneeze laugh in slo mo killed me 😭

@turbocateyeS475

Tom proves theres a HUGE different between professional youtube skaters and professional skaters that make youtube. Its refreshing to see someone with actual skill, control, style and gnarly tricks on the platform.

I was skating 8.5's for a long time and just for giggles I ended up picking up your 8" slick vx deck and I love it. I went from hockey-style nose shapes to the taper so it was kinda crazy at first but I think I'm sold on the 8 to 8-1/8 width. The biggest thing I noticed was the wheel base and the length. Your board helped me realize I've been skating way too long of wheelbase for years. Its funny we're sort of on the opposite journey with boards haha

@SamBarnwell92

big fan of the filmer commentary 😂

Titanium thunders will lower your trucks from 52mm to 51mm. Thunder has to go back into the lab to redo their bushings!

@macgitter4485

Ive been looking forward to you setting up the 148s. I ride them on an 8.25 and love them. That little extra room for grinds is noticeable. Hell yeah Tom!

If Santa Cruz could get that wheelbase to 14 that would be my perfect board.

@Garylookslikeacatfish

Get well soon Shane! Love seeing that dude skating in your videos

@Scharfster

149 thunder rider here! I'm sure you'll really like the 148

This video is the reason i skate egg shapes. Ive always loved the early 90s skating, but up from 2000 until about 4 years ago i only skated standard popsicle shapes. I love the eggs because they are super wide but retain a short wheel base . Mine is a 9.0 inch but since it tapers at the wheels , where you flick is about 8.75 , the width making it easy to catch and the shape making it easier to flip, all with a short wheelbase is heaven. Sorry , stoned rant

@chopkins_

Stoked that the size up is working out for you!

@LagaudeLagaude

great sharing Tom! love your vids and journey!

@markbryanpo

It's so mind blowing how some people switching trucks won't affect them at all. I mean they handle the transition to different trucks/boards pretty quickly. 7/8 to 1 inch bolts even bother me so much. LOL Its just awesome to see videos like this how Tom shows us that it is normal. Love the up in the setup! I've been skating theexact same setup (except the board) but it's still a twin tail though.
