Skateboarders: What are you riding?

Recommended Posts

Can someone recommend me what longboard set up to get?

I have skated when I was younger, but I now just want a board to cruise and get from a to b. Looking to get a bit of the surf feeling, as I do surf during the summers in France.

Unfortunately we have no hills here in The Netherlands to ride.......

back in high scool when i used to skateboard...

Copeland blank decks (portland people know?)

Chian Bone bearings

Spitfire 52's

independent trucks

I was in Oregon two years ago and my cousin bought a blank deck from copeland sports! I remember they also had Grey Jordan IV's for ~50 bucks... currently "riding" haven't really skated in over a year:

7.75 Active blank

Destructo with the more translucent bushings.. for some reason their black bushings sucked bozack.

Ricta Rowley or some blanks

crappy bearings.

Does anyone else like to do a once over with grip tape on the whole deck after you first grip it? I feel like brand new grip tape is.. too grippy?

My cruiser/grocery run board, which is all I have anymore, my knees and ankles are too shot for tricks nowadays:

Stereo Hi-Fi deck

Grind King AXL's

Bones Red

Ricta 78's

Here's a pic from when I put it together a couple of years ago, but it's still pretty clean since I only cruise on it.

Just got a new 8" AWS Dill deck. AWS/Habitat have the best decks, can never go wrong with one of these.

The countdown to Fully Flared has started now, anybody else here looking forward to 11/16?

Jason dill's ill. But I dont like the concave on workshop decks...You don't get as much flick in your tricks as you should

Anti-Hero Trujillo (8 x 31.5)

Independent 139mm

I've only recently started to ride bigger boards, and I have a couple of 129 mm indys. Does your board get more stable when you have a slightly wider truck to go with the bigger boards?
