I just got my new Setup finally after the my old one broke (Deck, Trucks, Bearings, Thanks to a fucking Car!)
My setup
Deck:Fight! Logo 7.75
Trucks: Krux's Downlow
Bearings:Rock'N Ron's Steel Balls
Wheels:Blank White Grooves
on top of that i also got some new Shoes :dance: eS Accel (One of the BEST ever)
i used to skate with my friends who were awesome. I could never really get it though. I could ollie and pop shove it. ANd tthat was about all i could do. I still like to skate sometimes though for fun.
Sick setup. I've got a Lib-tec because I kept on breaking boards going off of stair sets. I have this problem on big drops of not sticking the bolts and my back foot will break off the tail. I love sk8ting and with carpal tunnel I just now figured out I have from my doc, it's something I can still do. I'm getting ready to sk8 now. peace
I hope you guys arn't the kind who forget to get good before they start spending $100 bucks+ on the fuckin sport...
Your capitalisation of the "b" reminds me of this one time a kids saw me skating down the road and yelled to me, "Are you into skateboard?! I'm into skateboard!"
I'm riding Krux Downlows too. My full setup consists of these parts:
Krux Downlows Trucks
Tracker Dart Freestyle Trucks
Terry Synnott Flatland Deck with one tail skid
Skateboard Co. deck with a monkey on bottom. I got this deck for free from a friend who never really skated. Another kid who I perceive as a poseur called it a CKY deck but I don't really care.
Bones Red Bearings
Jessup Griptape
Monkey Nuts Hardware
Burley Flatland Inlaid 53 mm Wheels.
I just got into skateboarding two weeks ago after not skating since last September and my skills have deteriorated considerably. I skate primarily flatlandfreestyle, though I plan to get into vert/bowl skating. Last year, I could land double kickflips consistantly, perform railslides with nose shuv-its out, and I could sometimes land hardflips, tre flips, twisted flips, double heelflips, triple kickflips, and a bit more. Right now, the best I can do is double kickflips, fakie tre flips, fakie ollie 360's, and a bit more.
To void lives on, I completely disagree with you: In order to become a good skater, one must get a proffesional setup (one not from wal-mart) as soon as possible.
my setup is $156 (With all the shipping involed too.) :)Quote:

Other boards like: Element, Blind , Flip Just plan suck and more new people well buy simply because they look good, or not sure what to get so they go to Walmart or something.
This is my frist Fight board though, and i must say probelly the best i ever had!. I am able to get like 4inch More on my Ollie then my past ones.

I usually rock alien workshop and habitat boards. I've been out the skate biz since 2003 so I don't even know whats up with companies and teams and shit these days.
i skate... i have a black label deck speed metal bearings spit fire weels and pink bam signiture trucks havent skated in almost a year takin it back up in the summer birdhouse are shit boards if you wanna get a deck get a element or habitat but different strokes for different folks i suppose..
I quit skating a while ago, but now that the weathers nice I've found myself just going out and riding around and fucking around on curbs and my old rail and stuff.
Still riding Rictas (Tom Penny's I think), Shuvit (size 3.75?) board, KRUX BABY TRUX (only thing ill ever ride), then my 5 year old Swiss Bones (and they still work amazingly).
My shuvit still has like a 4 ply crack in it from one of the last days i was skating my back foot landed a bit too far back kickflipping 10. (i didnt use to be that bad, i just didnt have time once school started up again)
