    Default Attn: Skateboarders

    Who skates on here?

    Just got a new Zoo York deck. My last Darkstar was hitting the shitter.

    If there are already one of these threads or whatever, feel free to direct me there.

    i do much skating as i used to. but zoo york's are pretty good though. i'm more of an Element person. its something about their logo that draws me in.

    quite some time ago. i had a Freddy Kruger deck. paid like $45 or $50 for it, and broke the tail off it the same day. putting back to the shitty blank deck again.

    Nice.

    What shoes do you prefer?

    I've stuck with DVS for the longest time, just always seem durable and comfortable.

    i skate...wish i had more time for it, i just skate when i can. i have a baker deck. used to have an element board, i do like their graphics but i'm feeling the shape of the baker board i'm riding now.

    for shoes i run adidas superstar skates (the shelltoes). last couple pairs were nike sb's, they were cool and all, but i wore through the toes way too fast (and i don't even skate that much).

    deck - Plan b
    trucks - Thunder
    wheels - spitfire
    bearings - china red

    when i was in the skate shop last time, there was a kid in there that wanted to sell his dad's old rob roskopp (sp) santa cruz board, complete with tracker trucks and speed demons (i think, or some other old school wheel).

    board looked hardly used, had rails on it lol...graphic wasn't scratched up, I'd be surprised if it was even ollied with. that was my 1st deck ever too. i shoulda gave the kid $40 for it and mounted it somewhere in the crib

    I had a pair of black Getz with maroon laces that were the shit! I don't skate often anymore. I usually skated Black Label/Element and Vans/DVS.
