    Cheers man.
    Yeah, I usually have bones red bearings too.
    I actually did skate a bit after the post haha, rode down the block.
    Not a whole lot here and the community is cracking down on spots to skate.
    Closest park is like 30 min drive and very steep terrain.
    I guess my idea is some kind of all around setup.
    I would like to try vert at some point, been sticking to flatground ledges and rails the last couple of months.
    Collected quite a few decks when I was up in Newyork so parts are really all I need.
    Just looking for durable stuff if that's even a thing I dont know haha.
    I've had the flat spots before.. It was so bad at one point you could hear me coming a block away.
    Half squares!

    skate tend to get molded by what they have around them, if all you got is a parking lot you will get good on flatground trick, if you have a bowl next door you will rip transition you know, its all about what you have around... on a bigger scale just take a look at east coast vs west coast skating...

    and bein part of a comunity is fun, but dont forget that even if better as a crew, skateboarding is something you do by yourself... all of the time

    Yeah I feel you pifachu!
    I have lost touch with friends to skate with, through the grind of life Ya know.
    I always start on flatground but at some point you have to expand or you're just flatground.
    Which is cool don't get me wrong, if that's your thing have at it. It's all about fun.
    Part of that fun to me, is seeing what I've Done on flat brought to a unique setup.
    You can do more if you set out to and learn even more in the process too.

    That setup looks crazy freeze!
    Fresh.
    I've just got some beater decks haha. Not that bad but definitely not new or worth a share.

    I don't follow skating as much as I used to these days but if primitive skateboards makes some decks just for the brands sake and not with a pros name I may put out for one of those. Just sounds like a dope name to represent. Sal-Flip tails and boneless blunts being tricks that have eluded me in terms of perfection on down ledges. That's me though, a bit strange, a bit old school.

    Right now:

    Deck: Alien Workshop 7.5 Dyrdek Pro model (No idea what is what, brought it cheap second hand, its red and shiny though...)
    Wheels: Spitfire (Where 57mm, but so old maybe like 50mm now)
    Bearings: Industrial use bearings meant for a bench drill (I cheaped out, they cost around £0.70 each bearing and are rated Abec11. They handle the pressure amazing but speed roll off is noticeable)
    Trucks: Desctructo

    Next Setup:
    Deck: Almost Mullen Impact (the black and blue glow in the dark one)
    Wheels: Spitfire again, if I can find blue/black ones
    Bearings: Bones Reds
    Trucks: Undecided
