What was your first set up?

What was your first legit setup/board?

My older brother gave this to me when he stopped skating....it was 2000, but I loved it.


indy's

and really really old powell blanks


I was like 15 years late. But it was fun

[manuel]

I had with Tracker trucks and some Rat bones.
I was a huge Powell Peralta fan boy.

[WWD4D?]

This was back in 01 when I first started.
Chad Muska Kamikaze deck, the green one. It was 7.75 if I remember correctly.

Some used indys that I bought off my friend that were already axle slipped and spray painted gold. I think they were 149's too, they were way too big for the board but I skated them anyways.

Blank 56 or 57mm wheels

FKD abec 3 bearings

Shop grip and shop hardware

Etnies, can't remember what model was though.

[flapJack]

A Nash of course. But my first "REAL" setup was a free Rick Howard baseball deck. I still have it but not near me. I got it for free so i went to a shop and got some Indys, Girl wheels (figured since I had the board) and some Reds. I actually have all my boards still. A few arent even broken, they got skated til they had razor tail and chips all over.

-World Industries Flameboy deck; around 7.8?
-Fury Tall and Wides.......the guy at the shop said they'd been sitting there forever, and he'd give me $10 off if I got those
-Ghetto Child Tom Penny 54mm
-Speed Metal Bearings

[Omamori]

Some world industries complete. I remember seeing all the kids skating Blind and World decks, sticker, etc. My first real setup was
Element deck
Venture trucks
random wheels, bearing, and hardware.

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

A Wet Willy World deck
A pair of hand-me-down Ventures
And some kind of Spitfires, I can't remember.
I think I had Lucky's for bearings or something.

Mine was a ATM board (I still have it in my room somewhere with my other boards) with Tensor trucks, Indy bearings and blank wheels.

I had that board for like 5 years until I got a new one.. (I never took skating seriously when I started)

Flip wheels that matched the deck (lame, I know)
Tensor Trucks
Black Panther bearings IIRC

&
54mm Icon wheels

also had a ALVA Jeff Hartzell and a Zorlac gibson around that era.

[gandzha]

It was 03 or 04, can't remember.
My friend hooked me up with his old board, it was Donuts (some european company) 7.5 board. Then I got Fury Supersport trucks, the ones you didn't needed a wrench to tighten the hardware , fat 53mm Blacklabel wheels, Speedmetal abec 5's.

[manuel]

A Wet Willy World deck
A pair of hand-me-down Ventures
And some kind of Spitfires, I can't remember.
I think I had Lucky's for bearings or something.
