F-cking Awesome x America Please & Supreme x Independent Trucks & Spitfire Wheels

Within the past few months, I think I've supported more online classified sellers than I have skate shops. The deals just seem too good to pass up and this is definitely one of them. Recently, I acquired an FA complete skateboard a seller purchased at Supreme. I was sort of bummed to see how the store messed up so much on setting it up. The grip had bubbles and the trucks were not the right width. It was a debacle and had to be dismantled and re-gripped. Overall though, I'm very pleased to have come across this setup and can't wait until next spring to skate this.

The setup included a set of Independent Trucks featuring the classic Supreme box logo. Unfortunately, they were not wide enough for the deck. Still a great keepsake for when I feel like skating a thinner board again.

Of course the wheels need to match if you're going all out Supreme. The board rolled on a set of 51mm Spitfire Classics.

This picture will always hold a special place in my heart. Back in 2011, I met pre-FA pro Anthony Van Engelen at Supreme in Los Angeles. The figure in the background between our heads is Mos Def [who paid straight up cash for his entire purchase].

Thrasher Magazine just released FA pro's Elijah Berle's Closeout the Year video part.
