A friend's neighbor had in his garage a PsychoStick with pink grip (standard?), Gullwings, OJ Slimeballs, and an absurdly constructed huge jump ramp that we would either use as a quarterpipe or get towed in on BMX pipes and early grab off of. Kind of a weird way for a bunch of kids to start skating in 2001, but there ya go.
Within a few months, the whole skate crew had procured actual set ups of their own, mine was the Element with the four element icons, Venture Lows, Element wheels that I still have and are fully coned, generic everything else. After riding that all summer I tried a departure with a big, heavy Antihero standard logo, Indys, and 56mm Spitfires and I've never really gone back.
