Vans TNT SG's, not to be the guy who blames his gear but i could not fucking kickflip in those shoes. Maybe I just got a bad batch but they felt like fucking cinderblocks, no boardfeel, the outsole didn't really flick as it should, if anything it felt like it just dragged. As much as I tried to give them a shot and break them in, the outsole started coming away in strips/chunks after 2 weeks and they didn't last much longer after that. Most disappointing shoe I've skated.
OJ From Concentrate 101a wheels - I didn't expect much from a pricepoint wheel but they did not fucking slide at all, coupled with the fact NONE of the bearings would seat correctly and instead flopped around loosely in the wheel which gave it fucking diagonal play as seen here:
Who else ran hubba/enjoi coloured bolts when they were young and ended up with them stripping or seizing? fucking dogshit. Andale Guy Mariano bearings on sale, skated great for about a week until three of them blew out in the same session, even the wax that came with it sucked.
