Here in VA, Ventures are by far most popular truck, which blows my mind. I started skating Ventures about a month before moving here and thought i would be the only one. When I lived In FL, everyone skated Indy, Ace, or Thunder. It's RARE to see Venture or anything else down there. Also in VA, everyone seems to skate quasi. Like 1/5 of ppls setups at the park have a quasi / venture combo. I dig it.

Eastern WA reporting, not an official study, just what I've seen.

Decks: Lots of DLX and shop decks (BBS made I'm pretty sure), Toy Machine, Quasi and Baker seem semi-popular. A Crail deck here and there. Most other brands are hit or miss

Trucks: Fully mixed bag - I've seen multiples of the big 4, but Thunder seems like the lowest number of riders

Wheels: OJs and F4s are the tops by a mile

Never notice bearings, but people bring up Bronson a lot

Shoes: Vans, Adidas, Nike, Emerica, or the rare gem from Ross
Wow sorry, didn't realise I was dealing with a sick cunt here

Right now here in Prague:

- Shoes: Nike SB (mainly Dunks and Blazers mid), a lot of DC, Cons (mainly LL). Also saw some Etnies lately.

- Trucks: Indy and Ace.

- Wheels: Spits and some Bones.

- Decks: Is all over the place, I wouldn't say that any brand stands up, maybe Polar.

Let’s add apparel to the mix, I’m always shocked by how different it is by state.

I see the usuals in southwest for pants, Polar, Volcom, dickies. Band tees or hardgoods. What are y’all running by region? Same shit?

In Funabashi is Baker, Primitive, Almost, Lesque, FA/Hockey, Santa Cruz, Evisen, MxMxM, Blind, Polar, GX1000, Alltimers… there isn’t a specific brand that is more used over the rest. But I’m the only one skating Black Label, Violet and Hotel Blue.

I see a ton of antihero east of Boston. DGK is popping out here. Hockey. Lots of orchard boards. I get compliments on the candy apple scull graphic all the time even non skaters take notice

Baker. Also Pete's Pigs which is local. That's really popular. I've seen a lot of Scram out here. Various TOA beands. There.

18 DGK Hockey.

Indys king here and it looks like Ventures or Ace is definitely second. It's really close.
Thunder obviously.

It's rare to see krux out here.

Wheels is spit and bones obviously. Sometimes I see stuff like. Not a lot of big big wheels. I got like 3 friends who ride 58s. We all ride ogs

Rails are popping. I might get a set soon.

Converse seems to be top shoe. Then Vans then Nike the Adidas

No one wears carioooma out here. Ever
Plz stop killing each other

People in Australia, not just skaters, love Butter Goods gear. Lots of Dickies. FA. Polar. The casual skaters here seem to have more of an imagination when it comes to gear

Austin TX

Boards: a lot of roger, there’s some other local brands like potato, and others killing it, FA, and a bunch of Anti hero eagles around as well

Wheels: lots of local love for cherries, I’m a loophole man myself but cherries does a lot for the local skate community around here so that’s sick, other than that spits

Shoes: lots of soletech, we got connections to emerica down here since figgy has moved to the area and a couple locals are on es, and vans they’ve done collabs with NoCo hook up a couple local people as well

Hardware: motherfucking SPA Gear , we like our local shit around here

I see way more NOCO decks than anything else. And roger, yeah. Ever see that picture of the deck delivery day for roger/NOCO on their instagram? Insane stock amount.
Another brand new account coming in on some absolute fuck shit

NYC…same as usual:

Boards: beat ps stix- wknd and quasis that are about two weeks overdue to be replaced and ‘big’ brand shop boards (ie ccs blanks) are usually what i see; some FA near the shop as there are spots next door (ie Tompkins)
 
Wheels: small spitfire classics or the giant colored radial or conical fulls depending on the st/spot

Trucks: Indy almost universally. Some Thunder

Shoes: Dunks dunks dunks dunks dunks

The typical NYC uniform: Supreme caps and bags; kcdc and labor tees; Slayer pentagram bone logo tees. Dickies, carharrt wip, or giant thrift store jeans with zero break and white socks showing…etc

Lately most decks I have seen in the wild are Anti Hero.

In The Netherlands I'm mostly seeing Polar and DLX decks. The trendy kids skate FA and Hockey too and I see a lot of people skating whatever brand is on sale atm.
