Oh no. Unfortunately we don’t have ANY old XL bronzes lying around. They were sold out for a while between the old and new batch, so even the showroom samples got cleared out. Sorry man.

Dangit… I guess I’ll buy a new one to at least have matching pairs…

Just literally got the silver ones in the mail for my Flux.

Much shinny!!!

Makes me happy.

I’m sitting here thinking the Esk8 gods for having All 10 of the right length of bolts.

Made me think of you Chris @Yeahthatperson

Joel @MBS did I unlock a secret colorway for the wheels by collecting all colors?

Dang, I’m running Stooge spur gears similar to how you mount your sprockets. So far no issues for me yet while using stainless steel bolts. Granted I don’t ride it offroad and I’m pretty light weight.

I am heavy and rode this board through much bumpy shit…

I don’t think individual stand offs are great.

I would suggest a printed spacer like this.

And I just ordered some 12.9 bolts…
Because if you are going to run 80mm bolts maybe go ahead and get some better ones…

Maybe it all happens for a reason.

I have been wanting to put the MAD wheels on here while it still has the 10mm axles.

It so stinking cool so far…
Just playing around in front of the house.

I even felt like making it looser and put the Riptide Singularity 96 A in the front, instead of the 93 B.

And it’s spicy good.

It was April 9th 2025.

And I got a visit from Esk8 Royalty!!!

And the day ended up being way dreamier than I could have imagined!!!

At 2:15 PM Jeremy @Soflo pulled into the driveway.

He unloaded his weapons from the car

I immediately jumped on the Duality.
So wild.
So different looking.
So massive.

So before we could ride into the sunset I had to do school pickup and we rolled up the street together and I got to see the Duality in it’s full splendor.

Jeremy is a dude that does all the cool shit in the world.

And his boards are amazing.

I had to do a separate round of school pickup up.
So we played in front of the house before rolling up to the school.

And I started having the time of my life on the Almost a Flux with the MAD wheels.

We took off to do a little ride over to the bridge and I had the best time riding the Mountain board with the MAD 101s

And I can do nose taps which is so cool…
I rode that board super hard and rolled through all the rough pot holes down curbs and it was wild.

Then it was time for school pickup up again.

And I go Jeremy to ride up on the Deathscooter!!!

It’s such a fun little ride up and back from the school.

After that my parenting duties were over and we got to go ride off into the sunset.

So we went off on our Onewheels to hit the little trails around here.

It was the perfect time, on a perfect day.

Hopefully I have some 360 footage to add…
But Jeremy really flies on his Onewheel…
He is on a whole different level than me there… And it was amazing to see.

This tall lanky dude flying and weaving through these narrow wood trails was incredible.

Onewheel rides are such cool vibes because sometimes you are mobbing, and sometimes you are chilling.

And we stopped at several spots to see the view.

It ended up being a 12.5 mile ride which is past my body’s limit for Onewheels and literally took my battery to zero…

It was the best time.

Jeremy is so good on that thing.

When we got back home the timing has worked out that my wife has just made delicious dinner we ate on the deck.

After that there was still light in the sky and it was Flux O’clock.

The final ride of the day was amazing. I rode the Duality up to the bridge.
We hit trails made for Esk8.

Life was good.

It would be hard for me to think of a cooler day…
Thanks Jeremy for making the drive, and being you dude!!!

The Matrix III with the Riptide Singularity bushings have been so much fun.

I geared up and ripped around in front of the house today and it was such a blast.

Time for some tinkering…
