        I like osirus shoes myself tho they can be a bit big and clonky for some peoples tastes. Etnies and ES are still good shoes too. As for decks (tho i hardly ever skate much any more) I only ride element or zero, and thats what id recomend.

        my 2 cents -Matt

            Hey i like my Emerica shoes(TEMPLETON 2). I wouldnt recomend getting DC shoes or Osiris shoes they are big and clonky. But i guess it is all personal preference.

            As for decks go here is my setup: Element Bill Pepper Deck, Tensor Trucks, Speed Metal Bearings, Black Magic Griptape, Shorty's Harware and Risers, Spitfire Wheels.

            I usually get either a Element board, because they are strong and light...or a Zero because they have a nice shape to them. Blind boards i really didnt like, i dont know why. To me they where a little heavy. Shorty's boards just suck. I hated mine and thats why i stomped it.

            There's My .02 Hope it helps!

                    land hurricane-did you know that enjoi is made by world industries? therefore they suck. plus my friend broke his enjoi in a week and his toy machine in 2 1/2 weeks. Another good board is Flip, they are a tad on the heavy side, but they are strong. Hope that helps, and tell us what you decide on getting.

                        I have owned a toy machine board and they have no POP. I currently have this setup. Alien work shop 8x31 with venture trucks, Spitefire wheels, black magic griptape, Black Panther bearings. The shoes I use are DVS Sheffy 3's, they are the most comfy shoes around.

                          Status boards. Lots o pop and you can get em in lots of different sizes. Of course if your a poser, you may not like em cause they don't come with graphics. Just some plain blue status logos.

                          For shoes, the brand DOES NOT MATTER. Inspect the shoes to make sure the materials won't wear quickly. Too many seams are not good. Try to get the ones with rubber soles and not foam. Foam is a lot lighter, but kickflips kill them FAST AS HELL. Rubber is the way to go if your looking for durability.

                          I started skating again about 2 months ago and i'll be skating in about 1 hour. (i'm at school now.)

                            I personally skate nothing but Black Label Powerbeams...lotsa pop and don't fall apart real quick. As for shoes, I like Globes but they can be a lil thick...try Lakai's as they look cool and last for a lil while...
