Hey skaterats!!! What are you riding?

Just decided to get back into skating a trick board again after 12 or so months without a board (excluding my mini stereo cruiser) and picked up a Complete Element set up. Was a bit hesitant to start skating again but fuck it, it's a good time 
So anywho what decks are fellow shroomsters riding? what tricks can you do ect.. I'm pretty mediocore with a fairly limited amount of tricks but in sayong that here's what i can do.
1.frontside 180's down stairs and banks
2.pop-shuvits the same as above
3.Boardslides down flat rails
4.5-0 grinds on quarter pipe railings
5. Indy, tail and nose grabs when launching off quarter pipes or banks (have to try adding 180 rotations to these, see how i go)
and thats pretty much it, still haven't got kickflips down which is a bummer but one day soon hopefully. So now what do the other shroomites got... Besides scrapes and sprains

Landyachtz pinner. I used to try fucking with actual skateboarding but it makes more sense to ride big-wheel in the city I'm at. The sidewalks are shit here.

I recently started making longboards out of old water skis (easily procurable at any thrift store). It's incredibly simple, and the result is a killer longboard that's only a couple inches shorter than me : D Not great for tight turns, but a blast for cruising!
It's as simple as stripping the water ski of it's foot holsters and drilling 8 holes for the trucks. I like to position the trucks in such a way that I can pop wheelies on both the front and back nose. I kept the metal fin attached to my ski, and I'm hoping I can find a way to make sparks fly out from the board as I ride it! (Heh heh- I probably just need to go about 30-40 MPH!)
But yeah, I highly recommend building one for yourself. All it takes is a phillips head screwdriver, a drill, some grip tape, extra long hardware, and maybe a riser pad or two. Half an hour of work tops! And people just go bananas when they see these beasts. Ahhh! So much fun : D
XOXO to all my skate homies!!!

I have a zero board with bones bearings. I can't remember the trucks or the wheels at the moment, but the wheels are one of the harder thinner ones. I've had that board almost 5 years now and it still holds up. Though it is almost splitting at the bottom.
I used to be able to do tons of tricks. But I haven't hardcore skated in maybe 2-3 years. I can still do an ollie though. I usually just use it to ride around my city. Just hopping the occasional curb or pothole.

I like this thread. It's a shame less & less people are skating nowadays. I remember when it was cool to be a skater. The days of Sum 41 & blink 182... skating around town... trying to do tricks off of stuff that would obviously fuck you up if you messed up but not caring/knowing... I used to be considered a "skater" during middle school but nowadays I only do it occasionally. An older family member of mine got me into skateboarding. I think the older I get the more I realize how seriously hurt I can get even trying to stuff. I think that is why little kids are so good at skateboarding, because they don't realize how hurt they can get trying to successfully do obstacles/tricks.
I've had many different setups over the years but my current board is:
Creature Deck Royal trucks (white) Lucky bearings I can't remember what wheels but usually I'll go with spitfire.
When I was heavily into skateboarding I got a lot of mini-logo decks & one other brand that I can't remember because they were cheap to replace ($30 for a deck.)
The tricks that I can occasionally do nowadays:
pop shuv its fs & bs 180's fs only. BS scares me... lol. fakie big spins fs heelflips (land probably 1 or 2 out of every 10 tries.) ollie fakie 180's fs & bs nollie pop shuv its boneless 180's (one of my favorite tricks) burt slides (one of my favorite tricks)
That's all that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not good... Mostly I'll just cruise around. I hope this thread stays alive. SKATE FOR LIFE!

Everytime someone posts about buying an 80 dollar complete it makes me cringe. Not as much as the level of cringe when modest posted his Longboard but still..
Ugh.

Don't understand the hate for longboards.
I get that people are tribalistic, shit flinging retards that will find any reason to hate people for being different, but you gotta respect the dudes that do the craziest shit on longboards. They do some incredibly dangerous and brave shit.

My first skate board was a 20 dollar one from walmart. It was complete shit. The griptape wore off about 3 months after I got it. The wheels were slow. And the board was very heavy. I did learn how to ollie on it though. And by the time the grip tape was off, I was able to buy parts and make a custom board.Quote:

I love long boards. They're awesome to ride. I've seen people kick flip a long board before too!
What I kinda hate are those penny boards. If I remember correctly, that design was originally made for young kids to start boarding. They look like they are made for toddlers anyways.

Because, even of its from a good skate brand, there's no brand that makes everything. It's usually from a deck company so the deck will be professional quality. But the trucks, wheels, and bearings, will be made by a deck company.
You wouldn't buy an entire car built by a company who makes tires. Would you?

I find someone speeding down a mountain on a piece of wood a lot more impressive than trick skating.

I kind of want to get a cruiser or longboard. I've never had one.
There is this insanely steep hill/road that I know about, it's in a neighborhood. It's about 5 football fields far. I saw someone going down it on a regular skateboard & got speed wobbles so bad, it scared me just watching them. They were probably going about 40-50 mph. They completed it though & managed not to get hit by any cars.
