Powell-Peralta Skateboard Complete Setup


Here is the Powell-Peralta Steve Caballero skateboard assembled and ready to ride. Just sucks how the rest of the month is will be cold and wet. Patience is a virtue depending on who you ask. This complete turned out perfect, but there is still one small area of improvement. Overall, I'm very happy with this and can't wait to hit the streets.


The Thunder 151s fit perfectly with this 10" deck because the axles are right at the edge where the middle of the board cuts into the nose. As for the back truck, it's much wider than the board, but it adds stability. In addition to the bottom, there are enjoi Tummy Sticks rails and Bones risers.


The Powell-Peralta G-Bones are a little too big and I would need harder bushings to prevent heavy wheelbite. As for bearings, I installed a set of Andale ABEC-7s.


Jessup Grip was used for the top. It's the best to apply on a deck with a unique shape and it didn't turn out too bad. As mandatory in the 1980s, the top logo is exposed. To hold everything in place, Diamond Supply Co. hardware gets the job done really well.



Just a few days ago, Steve Caballero won the Bondi Bowl-A-Rama Masters Division. Even in his 50s, nothing can stop this legendary pro.
