2001, I was 14, and super into blink182 and the shit they wore (Hurley & Adio).

The set-up was a 7.75 Element Fire team deck with Tensor mids (silver hanger, red base, black slider) and blank white 54mm's.  I skated some shitty sport skate shoes then got some Navy/White Mojo's.

damn, some of you guys are youngsters. spring of 1995, i was 14, a used t&c surf shop deck and i don't remember the trucks and wheels. i think my next board was a used birdhouse ocean howell. i honestly don't remember the first legit brand new deck i got. before that i hung out with these kids (still some of my best friends to this day) that skated and we'd go to this empty lot where a bunch of other kids skated and i'd borrow boards from dudes who were afraid to skate in front of other people. that was funny. my mom bought me a board out of the JC Penny catalog in 1987 and i lost it a few days later. then i got a random hand me down Vision Shredder with Indys and some big blue wheels when I lived in Alaska for a minute and then didn't really touch a board until 1994ish.

Must have been 2000, and I would have been 11. Mini-logo deck with ventures, reds bearings, and I have no idea what wheels. I remember skating around the mall sidewalks and being stoked on dropping off the curb.

my first board was a cheapo board with plastic wheels and a batman logo that my dad got me from a tag sale. then came countless caldors/woolworth/exito/el cafetero plastic wheels/chinese birchwood setups.

i dont like to count this one as my first "real" setup but it was. a tailess/bullet nose scott conklin aws board in '95 or '96 given to me by a cousin. waterlogged. barely rolled. my cousin would put leftover cooking oil in the wheels just so they could move  :P. we were young and dumb.

the real setup came when i moved to connecticut. beer city blank. venture tallboys. beer city wheels. 4 days later, my dad backed his car up into it, and i upgraded to a 23 ronnie bertino. the one with twinkie the kid getting chased.

Destructo trucks
blank wheels

I was 12 or 13 and it was in 2003.


I normally hang on to things that bear the slightest hint of sentimental value, but I just sold that board a year ago, and for some reason have very little attachment to it.

A Zero Jamie Thomas board, I think it was the American Flag one. I had some venture trucks that were red and white and some blue wheels to match the American flag. I seriously thought it was the best thing in the world. That was around 5 years ago.

i had an early flip board and a blind board but i dont think i had either for very long (lost them or traded for surfboards), i remember my re-introduction to skating in 1999, i was 13, when i started skating again but i already could do the basics (grind, boardslide, kickflip, heelflip etc)... i had a jeron wilson girl board, i had mercury or ventures, dont remember, and it had some black label 53s..that shit lasted forever, when girl boards were nice and flat

edit,
i can vaguely remember aquiring an acme board too somehow when i was probably 9. it was a slick bottom and it sucked

I was into this the more colors the better thing.. I used the wheels from the board I got in some sports shop half a year before this. I wore them down from 54mm to like 45mm. I ripped them 2 whole years i think.

Well the first newis board I had was a Varaflex complete from Target, it was my older brother Jeremy's but he threw a fit and He ended up with the Lance Mountain with the Yellow Little dude doing a flip or someshit. Needless to say this guy get's the new/used for-a-day Varaflex, 89ish I was 9 or 10.

First New board was a Ray Barbee mini with the like sock dude ruffling the cards, old gullwings and some onld OJII's.

The first board I really skated on was either a Valterra or a Variflex or something back in 1985, then I think in '86 I got a Nash that I skated for longer than anyone could imagine. It was a fucking beast, but I learned a lot on it. My first real good board was a Jeff Grosso toybox in 1987, with Indys, some OJII Combos, and I think I had a Cellblock III on the back truck... unless that was on my next setup.

my first board was some kind of random Nash that my aunt got me for my birthday.  i think it was '86 or so.  a year or two later i got a Nash Nightmare 2.  the graphics were killer, but the board sucked so bad that I never wanted to skate again. 

a couple years later i decided I wanted to start skating again, and I got my first real set-up that Christmas.  It was a red Lance Mountain with the family crest graphic, white Tracker trucks with the plastic baseplates, and gray Schmitt Stix Sawblades wheels. I was 10 years old and the year was 1989.  My mom made me put a tail guard on the board to "make it last longer", so it was  pretty much ruined from day one.  It took me years to learn how to ollie.  jump ramps, skating in the rain, heavy metal...shit was fun back then...

My dad brought me home a fiber glass banana board from the garbage dump when i was 10 or so. It had roller skate trucks on itwith big red urethane wheels. The thing was next to impossible to ride, super wheel bite on a 5 inch wide deck haha.

then this kid Eddy who wore the Misfits 85 skull shirt to school everyday gave me a purple powell mini logo right before he got locked up for burning down his parents house. I had that shit for a minute.

The first board i got to choose was in 7 or 8th grade in 98 0r 99. I was a green Paul Zuanich Think deck with two girls bent over farting. In the middle was a fart cloud that said THINK in the center. I got some ejaculator wheels, i think they were made by World or something, they were supposed to look like there was semen inside of them. The trucks were indys and Black Panther abec 5 bearings. That set up was fun as hell.

Tony Hawk hammerhead. Some trackers and some Rat bones. It was 1988 I was 11 years old and SOOOO stoked I finally had a real board. (my two Variflexes i had before didn't count). I sat it next to my bed and stared at it till I fell asleep that night. The next day I traced the graphic off the board on to a sheet of notebook paper and brought it to school as proof I had a REAL Tony Hawk.

glad to see i'm not the only guy who started out with a shit setup

my first board really became a huge regret for me. everyone that skated in my town had powell's with all these skulls on them and when i went to the shop my mom told me i could get anything i wanted which was rare because we were poor a shit, so i figured i'd out evil everyone and pick the board with the most gnar graphic on it which too me was this board with a reaper on the bottom. i quickly realized how regular that was when i showed up at the spot with my piece of shit board.

i always wanted to skate, but bein young i needed my parents to get a board.  they kept saying it was too dangerous so i didn't get one until one christmas...probably '98 when i was about 13.  it was nash and it sucked so bad (plastic wheels, plastic trucks, plastic kingpin perhaps?) i never could get around town with it because i would keep getting wheel bite.

finally around 2001 or 2000 my older brother got into THPS2 and he bought an enjoi jerry hsu complete with indys, spitfires, speed metal, and risers.  i started using that, then when that got beat to shit he bought a new board and i used it full time.  my first real fresh setup was a girl koston deck with destructos, spitfires, and reds.
