Who here SkateBoards?

I've been skating since I was about 12 years old. Last summer was so awasome for skating, I would go outside at like 12, skate all day, and then come home at like 10. Then this school year started and a bunch of the people I used to skate with moved away and I haven't been on a board since like October...

I'm thinking about starting up again though, cause the weather's been so nice. I'm thinking about getting a Habitat deck (Habitat, AWS, and Foundation are the best), Krux trucks, some Bones Reds bearings, and heading out to philly for a weekend.

EDIT: oh and eS do make some of the best shoes :thumbsup:

best shoe i ever had was the mike vallelys (etnies), the first ones not the second ones. those shoes were truly tough as nails.

I used to skateboard back in my teen years. Back then I rode Alein Workshop decks, Gullwing trucks, and Santa Cruz wheels. I still have the Gullwing trucks here too. Total old school trucks and relics.

Im rocking a Girl Mike Carrol deck with descructo trucks, Ricta Rune Glifberg Naturals with some reds for speed. I always buy a pack of DOH-DOH bushings with my new trucks too usually the white ones, all in all my setup probably costed like $215 Canadian or something but skating is well worth it too me.

LoL Elements, they suck(To heavy, Con Size is fuck and breaks easy)

I would Highly recommend Rock'N Ron's Bearings, they are SO much more smoother and faster.
Heres the cheapest place where i got mine from (SUPER FAST SHIPPING)
If you got the extra Money get the Ceramic Bearings, there's the best so far in the skateing world, but the steels one i consider 2nd best (i even think there better then Bones Swiss):dance:

(They even Accept Money orders if you don't got a Credit Card(Thats what i did))

the best shoes by far are the Emerica Kirchart 1's they are the strongest shoes EVER, I hate es shoes though they always get torn up soo much faster than any other shoe.

Back when I used to skate I had a pair of those Koston 3's and they looked absolutely SICK, but yes, like 3rdeye said above, they tore up way too fast. I think that 'es shoes are more for looks persay, while some of the other brands concentrate more on the skating aspects of the design. I do however love the style that 'es presents, so I'm hooked.

eS isn't for the looks, they are one of the first to use the STI Techology, witch reduces the Pressure while jumping and skateboarding. and help spread the heat though out the foot so your feet fell more comfortable.

All you well find about eS Accels are good things with Reviews and stuff. I would have gotten there Accelerate but i ran outta money.

other shoes like Adio,DC and Globals are for looks, that suck.

PS. Don't judge the whole Shoe company base of 1 shoe, eS Accels are completely different then the Koston's
