I had a plan B 8.25 that had a 6.25" tail that almost killed me. Etnies Marana are the worst shoes I've skated in the last decade

Greco's Hammer shoe. That one was very disappointing.
Flip Sidecuts wheels with different colours... They simply fell/broke apart.

Krux trucks. Broke an axle doing a kickflip off a curb when I was a scrawny 14 year old.

Late 90's World boards. Had 2 and both chipped and stress cracked first day.

I was home from winter break at college one year and din't bring my board back but was itchin to skate this indoor park with my friends. This girl was selling a complete for $40. Done. It was a 7.75 enjoi with rainbow kittens, royal trucks, and ricta wheels. It was awful, so god damn skinny (I'm a size 12 foot so it was like a popsicle stick under my feet). Still better than being left out I guess.

waiiiiit a minute where did this girl live?

Definitely 90s World boards- Pre-Flame Boy. Best shapes, graphics, and pop at first, but they were made to last a week tops. Also had some really questionable Spitfires in the 90s. They flat spotted super fast, but were also 42mm.

Tensors. First ones that came out. Jesus they were horrible.

royal trucks, orion trucks, darkstar wheels.

The globe Danny Gonzalez shoe, what a heap of garbage.
The New Wave concave boards, so shitty, made my kickflips turn sideways.
Always hated every set of spitfires I ever had, Hubbas sucked too.
The only flip deck I ever had. So much flex it was garbage.

Why?

mynameisnotjeff · « **Reply #42 on:** February 11, 2017, 01:25:52 PM »

DVS Endeavor, snapped the rubber lace holes tightening the shoe. The internal booty thing didn't stop the whole shoe from spinning around my foot.
Thunder Hollow Lights, kingpin snapped trying to kickflip
Wub wheels, felt really slow and slid terribly
Ruckus trucks, baseplate snapped skating flat
Girl Pop Secret, it felt a month old when I had it and the kevlar didn't really do much for it
Supra Stacks Vulc, I swapped the insoles for some Remind ones and they blew out
Supra Chimera, no boardfeel. Weird af design and material choice. The midsole had no support whatsoever.

Orions were the only trucks I've snapped.

I don't get how people skate in vans. They make you flat footed and extend your Achilles, making you more prone to injury. Every time I buy a pair I instantly regret it.

weren't the chimeras lil wayne's shoes? they look like they weren't even designed for skateboarding

as for me, venture trucks (because of easily breaking hangers), dsm blind boards (i had two and both broke within a week skating only ledges and flatground, which is weird because all the almost or cliche boards that i had were pretty good), non-f4 spitfires (flatspots flatspots flatspots), emerica hsus (the toecap just broke in half pretty much, it might have been just a bad pair though) and quiksilver skate shoes (zero durability)

SMA/Rocco's first run of boards were possibly the worst decks ever produced. It took years before World started making even average quality decks. I sometimes wonder why so many think Rocco is so great.

Lakai/DVS vulc shoes wore faster than any shoe I've owned.

The first 5 years of Venture produced some epic turds.

Joe Pesci · « **Reply #47 on:** February 11, 2017, 07:18:06 PM »

Blank wheels, Bones 100's wheels, both of them like gripped the ground when I skated. Supra Stacks Vulc II had a hole in the side either the first or second day I skated them, not like a small one either. DVS Inmate shoe, now called the Quentin, were pretty bad... I didn't throw the old Lakai's in here because they at least skated pretty well even though they ripped so fast.

Another horrible shitty thing i had was a cliche price point board. Shape was horrific and it snapped in 3 weeks from my scrawny 15 year old ass.

a flip 8.43 gonzalas board and some etnies maranas, i made the mistake of bringing both to kansas for a week, i was skating a 8.6 antihero board and es accel og's before going there, so needless to say my skating was super shitty the whole trip

Can you tell me more? I have pair sitting in my closet waiting to be skated...

Vans - sole rips before the fucking canvas

Bronson G3's - cracked cages from like 3 weeks of light skating. Company didn't back their product when contacted.

Super Reds - Same shit ^

I'm not adventurous at all with gear - fuck taking chances with hardware, haha. Indy's, spits and reds over and over pretty much.

It wasn't about the product, it was about the marketing strategy.

What he said, DLX decks, Indy, Thunder, Bones Swiss, spitfire. It's not worth having things fail on you.

Vans Rowley solos
Thunder trucks
Element deck
Flip deck
Some pair of DC dyrdeks back in the day
Fallen slash

We're Orion's really bad?

I've tried nearly every truck but always skated Indys

I remember having one pair of orions around the time pennys crooked grind ad came out but I don't remember them being good or bad

Also old foundation boards were horrible. And slicks. Any slick. Fuck they sucked
