I started skating again about a week ago. I use a Santa Cruz deck with the bleeding hand graphic, bullet trucks, Spitfire wheels, and red bearings. ---

What kind of skating do you mean? Like the longboard stuff or the trick stuff? ---

> [@JoeThiesen](#): > > Skateboarding… Not longboarding… I’m assuming he means the skateboard kind of longboard, not the surfboard. My friend has a longboard, as does his brother. I’m thinking about buying his brothers. ---

man … i grew up skateboarding and i still have a complete that I keep with me for old time sake. I also longboard and snowboard … but i started with skateboarding. but i really wasn’t that good … i haven’t skated in years … i can probably still ollie. I remember I ollied down a long set of 3 stairs in DC, kickfliped down a 2 foot ledge. umm i landed a 360 flip once… same with hard flips and front side flips. grind wise … my fav was to shove it into a 5050 and shove it out…i couldn’t do crook grinds to save my life … i could get into the stall but not grind (probably wasn’t going fast enough) i liked to fs nose slide too and got into a tail slide like twice… missed the good old days of me skating … fav deck : Element fire & water (broke them both lol) fav trucks : tensors (but you had to keep an Allen wrench with you) wheels : spitfire bearings: definitely reds … so cheap but so good grip : black magic bolts : skull wax : i remember we use to carry wax all the time … usually just the cheap ones from the grocery store.
