Don't anymore, but when I did I had an AWS deck. Forget the size, I think it was 7.2.
52 mm wheels, darkstar I think. That's about it. I sucked, lol

One that is about 6 feet long (sector nine I think)
one the is some kind of off road board that I but some street trucks and jelly wheels on (favorite board to ride at the beach and coming home from the bar)
Three or four blink decks in versus conditions that I let me kids ride

Gotta love going down the street and having to get off your board every 10 feet. Now that I moved to a RURAL area... we only have one road and that's a highway. No parks/lots either.

@ kaldor- with the tiny, tiny, weenie wheel these days, yeah, a bit of rough will stop you like a brick. With old late 80s wheels, 60mm+ (66+ is even better) minor 'imperfections' in the road wont stop you so badly.

Yes, I havent skated for years. My ankles dont like it anymore. Not that they ever did like it, but they didnt complain as much as they do now. I stil have my last setup though-

Natas deck (errrr...31x10, I think)
Gullwing super pro 3 trucks.
2 x santa cruz 'cell block' risers.
Bullet 60s wheels (92A).

In which country is it

Guess: Somewhere in Newfoundland.

I don't skateboard and have never really seen the appeal of it; I prefer cycling.

Thanks for letting me re-live some of my youth from 30 years ago here :)

I had an Eric Grisham 'Variflex' convex deck, something like 210 x 15mm, 7 ply
10" Independent trucks with 10mm risers
Orange Sims 60mm wheels, coded 80... something or rather with Nachi bearings
And of course the mandatory skid-plate and side rails...
I still visit a particular tree that bares my facial impression just to see how well I've aged!
cheers fellow skaters

seeems that the wheels are nowadays very expensive; just like 50$ to 100$ just for one, man, inflation is terrible
