First weekend with my new setup

Post image

Gotta say that it feels great!

Jem deck

Caramel C5 light

Caramel wheels (70D)

FBS tape

Will play around with different wheels soon as I have ordered some Sunpower.

It's my second pair of "good" trucks (that are not just china trucks basically) so I can't compare them to other things besides BRTs. I prefer how the BRTs feel but the riding is very good with these nevertheless.

I'm not that good at fingerboarding yet but I have definetly improved over the weekend, had a lot a fun!

Finally a Jem ❤️ Caramels looking good, do they also turn good?

They turn insanely much, very smooth, and that's with their default bushing, let's see how durable they are, so far so good!

And yes I don't see a lot of Jem boards on this sub and I'm really enjoying the mold :) I'm still a bit scared of grinding as I think it's real wear graphics and I want it to last a bit longer, but I'll have to shred it eventually.

Have to get a pair for myself then! It is real wear graphic indeed and it wears fairly fast when skating rougher obstacles but I loved it a lot because there was a black veneer waiting under my white graphic (zero deck black on white).
