What's the most offensive gear you've ever ran?

[LebowskisRug]

Currently skating Thunders with neon pink baseplates and I am a 37 year old adult male.

The wehrmacht part of it...they were the military arm that allowed Nazi Germany to commit a whole bunch of atrocities throughout Europe...and yes I know the difference between the Heer/SS/Waffen SS - but from the OKH on down they went along with it - so looking back I'm not stoked on that aspect of it.

Again I know that not every Heer member was a NSDAP member- the same way not every US soldier was a Roosevelt Democrat - I'm just saying I'm not a fan of that particular piece of my old gear.

At the age of 31 I own 4 pairs of pro skater pants. 2 of them are red.

[Chavo]

Bright orange Fuct pants paired with striped cholo polo shirt buttoned at the top.

Current board

Fell in love with a setup this weekend.

I wanted a shaped symmetrical board that wasn’t an egg shape. I don’t do good with eggs and sometimes I get tired of popsicles

The only board I could find looked pretty ugly and I love mac and cheese. Pretty Ugly is the name of your band

So I decided to make an ugly board. I bought all the parts I would have never bought before


Heroin mandy devine or something
Bones wheels
Reds with the shields popped
Ace 55 classics
Pig rails
Mini logo 7/8ths Phillips
Pig grip

I’ve skated it for two days. It took a while to get used to the short wheelbase on transition but I was able to kill some curbs with it. Landed some tricks I haven’t landed in years and grinded the longest I ever have. I’m 48

Have to say that I love not worrying or caring which end is which. I just throw my board down and don’t care. IT’S GREAT. I didn’t touch my trucks and they’re perfect so far

[sk8n hugon]

80s: neon pink grip; that stack of washers on below your bolt on top of your deck (to boost your ollies); ollie patch made from old airwalk lacesaver attached to other pair of shoes; coper made from pvc on stage ? Indys; paint pen all over grip (that was actually cool)

90s: bpsw

00s: reissue huge Powell 80s wheels on thin popsicle deck

10s: longboard slide wheels on popsicle setup (laugh, but Bert slides are super fun!)

20s: everything looks silly for a man of my age. Haha

[Quique]

Got hit by a car riding this, i probably deserve it.

Once I wore a red lumberjack shirt with camo cargo pants and red prod 7 highs that had animal patterns on the heels. Had a little skate session and then dinner with my ex, when I went to the toilet I realized I looked like Will Ferrell dressed as Lil Wayne in get hard.

[El Freegano]

97 i was like small 14 year old fart with huge orange working pants and bleached hair
as for my setup it was offensive that everything was expensive and hard to find so we had to skate some shitty setups

a funny story not related to skateboarding is when i was teaching yoga, and a couple of times i wore red and black tights but since one of the ladies called me the red ferrari i realised something is worng with my outfit

[ok boomer]

Was going through an experimental phase trying shorter boards with 14" WB and this was the only one in stock. 1/2 a session and the combination of graphics and dimensions were too much. 2-hour shower afterwards did help.

[Dog the Bounty Hunter]

Bones ditch tech formula as my real wheels. I think I was actually doing more drugs than skating at the time so I have a fraction of an excuse.

[Krooked antihero]

Red gold & green venture 5.0 lows, orange wheels and white boy dreadlocks, most like some weed leaves drawn on griptape.

Age 45 and I own purple Franky Villany cord Dickies and purple Kader shelltoes. Haven‘t combined them yet, tho.

His black pant is one of the 4 lmfao I had to get them resized as I am an awkward shaped fuck. I do appreciate the fat kid option with the buttons though

[scab]

I'm also a proud owner of the Frankie cords, I've got both the black and the purple ones. That purple is way louder than I thought it would be, but I actually like the fit a lot. My non-skater friends definitely hate on these pants a lot though. They just don't get it, ugh.

[Sleazy]

just turned 50 and like to skate in workout gear during summer and then when we are at the beach i wear one of those bro straw beach hats and fishing shirts skating. in my defense, i usually ride my beach cruiser down the beach to get to the skatepark park.

when i was in high school i was biting hosoi, cut open shirts, rector aggressors on street, long hair, head gaskets... in jr high i wanted to go full vision street wear but i was too poor. i think i just had a shitty berret and maybe a fanny pack.

[rocklobster]

Anyone ever rock the Garrett Hill red and pants IRL? Clowned upon in the 2000s, but giga chad energy today.



Bandana I wore as a durag under my Flexifit cap, I'm Asian btw.

[Sativa Lung]

[j....soy.....]

I don’t feel much regret, but I blew almost every deck purchase in the 80’s…. Reggie’s Barnes Street, Johnee Kopp, John Shultes, some real icons in there…..

I’ve run a ton of suspect truck choices that I still stand by, but I’m not totally proud of: Theeve, G&S, Fury….

White Guess Jeans…..

[Willie]

Flipped up front bolts (to help you ollie)

The Bird II Lapper (because the bolts didn’t work)

Vision Street Wear or Jimmy’Z red and black iron cross beret.

Jimmy’Z pants with the Velcro side closure that I pooped in on the way home from school.

[bombsaway86]

All of these were in the early 2000s:

Element shoes that I probably got at Pacsun for $20. They were pretty terrible all around.

Orange pants with the zipper so they could turn into shorts.

A big puffy trucker hat with a Cadillac logo that I wore diagonally like a moron.

I’m so glad camera phones weren’t around back then

[Sid Farkus - Bra Salesman]

lime green cross colors jeans

[daewonbong3000]

Rodney Mullen almost
cow print krux
black cored spitfires
lucky bearings

[MONS 56K]

Mostly trucks had some bright orange Monster's, pink Mini Logos, fucking allover jelly bean graphic Krux, I had the Tensor's with the slideplate too.  Needless to say I was a clearance whore, all the shit colorway DVS and Circa.  I ran a few Bammy Element boards too. 
Clothing wise though I rock some Krew skinnys that were a roomates until them bitches fell apart, and probably worst of all I rocked a manbun.

I think I am guilty of most of these in 1987.
I kept using a tie dye Vision hip pack through 1990 to keep cigs in.
This ended up being handy though cuz I got Jason Lee to sign it for me

[Allen.]

Levis 510s

[finecojeffe]

I had some acme jeans that were massive, probably around 1993. Also had a 7.25" shorty G with some tiny grind king trucks at one point. Shorty G was pretty dope but a board that tiny and trucks that small weren't.

[Síota]

Hyper color t-shirts
Sex wax t-shirts
Then jeans so big I didn't see my shoes...
