Sk8ers of AO

[SlipknotX556]

I have decided to get back into my first love. I have not skated in over a year, I started a week ago again and can still do the basics, such as ollie, kickflip, varialflip, pop shuvit, muffin flip, so on. Now my board is very heavy and I have very heavy trucks. I am looking for a good 7.25, length of like 31. Anyone know a nice board with those demensions also I need to know some good shoes and trucks.




Help out a fellow skater. Also I came up with this saying while skating awhile ago.



This is not a hobby. This is skateboarding. Skateboarding is a way of life. If you want to live it you have to know whats up. From the gear, to the food, to the way you chill. This is skateboarding.

My friend got a 7.37 twigs Elemement, and he liked it a lot. he shortened it up, just from skating, mind you, from a 31 incher to a 25 or 26 inch long board. He couldn't barely ride it anymore (money doesn't come by him very often, or else he would also paintball a lot more). So a guy we know said that if he could snap it, he'd give him a new deck.

For trucks, you could get Ti-Lites, but I've seen some of those fail.

Well went out and got my new alien workshop. Its a 7.30 by 31. Its really a sweet board, I landed the most insane thing off a 3 stair. Landed a Front Side flip into a nose manual. SO SWEET!

for the trucks i'd get phantoms, those are really sweet realiable trucks. I have a Shortys deck with destructos and its raining right now and i really want to go out and skateboard .

Well went to the shop again and got some venture trucks and black panther bearings and new spitfire wheels. My little brother who is like 10 just spent the last couple of hours sk8ing with me and he now can boardslide my 1 1/2 foot rail.

i've been skating for almost 8 years and its really hard to find a board that size, u may be able to get some of those little kid elemnt decks, but other than that your only option is a termite deck, never really heard anything about them though. ventures are good all around light trucks, but my personal choice are Indy stage 8's or 7's, best truck out there. spitfire wheels are good, but i pretty much only use pig wheels now, bearings really don't matter to me, but black panthers are nice bearings, right now i've got abec 5 zero bearing which are nice but mine are getting beat.

for shoes go with emericas or Es, both from the same company(sole technologies) and are good shoes, or dvs are really nice.

o yeah, this is dropkick1 posting on misfits name, so if u got any questions i can help you out, give me a holer on aim at dorksquad55.
