I would think most are pretty picky. Daewon is pretty particular. No bushings on his front trucks. He also stuck to the same sponsors for like 25 years, although that has gradually changed the last 4 years (leaving DVS, leaving the Dwindle camp, etc)

Rowley only skates trucks that haven't been made in 22 years (Stage 7 Indys). That's pretty picky.

I think Danny way mentioned in an interview that he's stocked up on specific bushings from like the 80s that he's found on eBay. Refuses to skate anything else

If you're taking longevity into account, then that distinction should go to Cab, right? Powell and Vans for like 30+ years?

I mean Thank You uses DSM wood last I checked so did he really stray that far from the path?

Reynolds seems to set up a new deck everyday basically, or at least implied that he did in the past. That’s kind ocd or whatever. Think he said like since he owned a board company, why not? Maybe he doesn’t so much nowadays to be a little more conservative with gear.

I can almost guarantee these are discontinued tracker bushings. I know a handful of older pool skaters who use them.

Dude bugs out over his shit. Won’t skate boards if they have a colored top sheet he likes. Stood on two of the same boards and swore they were different.

Definitely some mental disconnect going on when a person is highly picky to the point of neurosis about their setup and then they only skate Thank You decks.

i think prod skates exclusively the fourth (or middle) deck out of the press of his promodels.  source: his 9club.
thats some insane shit
