I have a couple of boards.
I use my Element Helium BAM as a vert board, and then I have a shop deck, a Speed Demon, that I use for street.
I'm not too good, though. I can manual for about fifteen seconds without any trouble, that's about the best I can do though.
My favorite skating shoes are the ones I currently have, Emerica Reynald's 3's.
I hate DC's for skating purposes, they're too big.
