I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me. You think you got me?
Many shops include free grip with some sort of shop logo with their decks. Have thrown that aside for Jessup many times. Always feel like a fool for forking over extra cash for what is essentially the same product, but it is what it is.
I wouldn’t skate cruiser wheels.Feel like every socal skatepark has one blonde dogtown superfan who rides a normal skate with cruiser wheels and tries so fucking hard.
If you can't handle me at my Marc Johnson, you don't deserve me at my Bobby Puleo.
Aftermarket bushings and riser pads. Had some thrown in for free on separate occasions for spending above a threshold or something and it just seems like too much hassle to switch up a setup just because the shits were free.

It has nothing to do with the quality of their products and everything to do with their branding image, I don't need someone looking at me wearing Lynx and associate me with Ridiculousness, energy drinks, or fat 12 year old kids who scream the n-word at strangers while playing Call of Duty. Same goes for Etnies, Es is fine in my book bc they're exclusively marketed towards skateboarding.No Lakai footwear. I don't care how cool those Cambridge shoes look, I'm not wearing something I know is gonna suck in quality on my feet.

It sucks too, it's the only thing keeping me from supporting a core brand that isn't all that offensive.No shaped decks, no weird sizes. I'll take any deck between 7.8-8.12 and ride it just fine knowing I can sand off/ sticker up lame graphics. There's some brands that I've come around to actually liking, like I'd ride some Pizza shit without covering up the graphic since I liked Raheim Robinson's Etherium part & Chase Webb is nowhere to be found.I won't ride any bearings besides Bones Swiss. I don't care how good they are, if they're any other brand there's no way I'll feel right rolling around. It can be the regular Swiss, the six ball, ceramics, idc really, they just need to be Swiss for me to rock with them. This is the only constant I've kept with my set up during the majority of my time skateboarding, and it's never let me down.I'm not picky with griptape, as long as it's straight black and doesn't have some stupid logo cutout or graphic I'm perfectly fine with whatever I get. I could never ride Shake Junt grip or whatever, shit like that ruins footage. Same goes for wheels, they need to be all white and 99-101A but I can deal with pretty much whatever.I think that's basically it for me, if I come up with anything else I'll keep you guys posted.[close]Krux....

At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.

You dudes sayin you wouldn’t ride a free deck from some board company you don’t like. Can of Rusto is $5 Entirely hypothetical, I know, but this thread reeks of entitlement.

More so a question of: do you want to alter how your setup responds and performs, for free? And the answer is no, not really.
