What are the best skateboard parts?

What kind of brands should i look at for these skateboard parts Deck, Trucks, Wheels, bearings, griptaptape?

• What kind of Decks hold up well, what are good trucks that wont get screwed up, what are wheels that wont get damaged, what bearings should i get, what griptape wont peel off and what is good hardware?

• Answer:

  Decks - really, as long as you don't get something from walmart, you're pretty well off. A lot of people like Plan B, Zero, Baker, Girl, Enjoi, Almost, Black Label, etc... Trucks - A lot of choices here. Independents are really good...so is venture or thunder. I'm getting a new skateboard with destructos on them so I don't know how good those are yet. Bearings - don't buy anything over $15 b/c the aren't worth it. Anything is really fine but I heard some good things about Reds... Griptape - again, anything is really fine. Jessup is good but w/e... Hardware - again, no big difference here..Shorty's is pretty good but hardware is hardware...
