I know we aren't madness shaming in the gear section, come on were better than this.
Still rolling on the set of Bones Super Swiss 6 I bought in 2001. Coming up on our 20th anniversary next year. The skating's been off and on and I pretty much always have a quiver but they're still rolling.
working hard like if he was from the 1920s or something
My formula 4s just won't quit
Indy 149s from 2003Gone through a few kingpins and sets of bushings. I rode them on my main board for 10 years, I go back to them now and again, I barely grind stuff with them because the new kingpins stick out.
I've had the same tools that I stole from my dad back in 93.

Bones Reds: My cruiser has changed considerably in the last 10 years, different combinations of trucks, decks, etc. But the one constant is my set of Reds that go through dirt, mud, rain, etc. regularly and still roll wonderfully. In the ten years I've had them, they've never been cleaned once and still work better than the 3-4 Swiss sets I've gone through on my "regular" board.
these indy stage 5 169s from my gonz in '88 or 89rode them hard and then stashed in my goodies box when boards started to get egg shaped (maybe started riding grind kings briefly? went back to indys, probably stage 6 or 7 at that point)pulled them out, rebuilt with new bushings/hardware, and put them back on a gonz reissue to recreate my set up from 30 years ago

I think there's an argument that as far as skateboarding is concerned and bearings....it's just luck....I have a protec full cut that doesn't get a lot of action....
