deck: it really depends, anywhere from a month to 2 1/2 months
wheels: I've had my stf's since August, but just put them on recently after I had some spitfires on since January.
shoes: Like I said with my deck, it depends, especially on the quality, I've had some Zoom Tres since November, but I've had to shoe goo them up every 2 or 3 weeks.
trucks:it depends really...Pretty long really, my krux are heaven.

decks: 3-4 months, and i only replace them when they start chipping badly, I've never snapped a deck.

shoes: I guess like 5 months before they start getting really torn but they still skate fine

trucks: Besides some pig trucks which I don't count, I've never broken a truck
bearings: Been going for 10 months now

wheels: I got replacements for my old ones because they never had good slide, so I've never had one go bad or flatspot on me.
