Actual Skating Review: Tom Asta’s Twin Tail Deck & Indy Mid 144s

Tom Asta and Indy Mids

We'll just let the Dead Air Radio guys test product and take their word for it. The most honest pod out there, tune in as Steve Fletch dishes the dirt on his Tom Asta twin tail Santa Cruz deck and Indy hollow 144 mid trucks:

"i broke my rules and skated the tom asta twin tail from santa cruz and indy 144 mid hollows with a forged base for a week to see if i could break my routine of venture lows and flat kicked boards? would it work? am i crazy?"

Five days of skating a set up that's new to Steve. Noseslides, Pepper Grip—this is some serious skate nerd analytics. We're always thankful for the careful eye these guys give to skate gear.

And Dead Air has some loyal subscribers that always sound off in the comments. Read through for more insight on gear and replies from Steve.

Between fixing a water heater at home, Steve gets in some manuals regular and switch and some flip tricks. After day five, he had to park his car on the nose. Stay tuned until the end for Steve's final thoughts.

More recent uploads from the Dead Air Radio guys. Yes, we watch all their stuff, you should too.
