I wouldnt be afraid to try some newer style decks. I loved my Lib Technologies set up. It was LIGHT.. STRONG... and did I already say light?...

I skate muska reflexes.

[Jonno06]

I just picked up my new complete today.

ATM Wheels
Destructo Trucks
Speed Demon Wheels
Unknown Grip/Hardware

I love it, it was SO MUCH pop, it's nuts.

[Jonno06]

you should try some Circa shoes....they have crappy team,but a good shoe....

[sk8dood]

Jonno06-ABEC is the rating system used for bearings, its not a company. BTW i think Bones Swiss are the best bearings for sk8boards.

[SlipknotX556]

I think what im getting is..... A new darkstar board and some Globe or ES shoes.

[z-grip]

etnies, lasted me for everi road world industries with grind king trucks and swiss bones bearings, and i miss every day of it, i hurt my self and never fully recovered

I skate as a hobby and I used to work at a skate shop. From experience and what I have seen from working at the shop. I've learned that DC usually makes a pretty solid shoe (and expensive), but a heavy one. The lightest I would say would be VANS, the Rowley's are a great shoe and cheap, but they sacrifice alot in durability. I skated DC's, Globe and Etnies for a long time and never had trouble with them, but I never got considerably better until I started wearing the super duper light Rowley's (you can't even tell you're wearing them, but they won't last you long). Just my $.02


Oh yeah, I skate a Habitat with Destructo trucks, Black Panther bearings <- (Don't like at all), scrap hardwear I had laying around and generic wheels.

i have heard from my friends that they didnt like their Darkstar boards.

My $.05

Oh yea i didnt like my black panthers one bit, they would spin for like 5 seconds then stop.

my old black label deck was usable for about 6 months. (it looked horrible at the end of the time but at least it didn't break).

my friends element (kenny hughes signature lion deck) broke in about 2 months.

we bought them at the same time. but my other friend has had his same element deck for about 8 months (now he bought a new one cause he had money to burn).

i guess element has inconsistencies or something???


anyways, i sport VANS cause they are real light and real comfortable and look nice too. They are about average for durability. it depends on what kind you get.

DO NOT get shoes that have areas of "breathable fabric". all it is is a weak material that breaks after like 1 good ollie.

btw. what tricks can ya'll do?

heres a list of tricks i can do or have done.

rios_creos-rofl. thats all i have to say about your post.

Just a little inside to skateboarding: boards will break differently between skaters, one might break in 2 days and the same model might break in 6 months. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE SKATER! so pick the board that feels right too you. If you want a board that wont break, then buy a board that has metal in it.
