What is the best skateboard combination?
-
I'm going to buy a skateboard, my first in like 3 years. I still know how to kickflip a little. What is the best combination. I need a strong and light deck and I want to go fast with good trucks. One that will last long. That is under $160.

Answer:
Ok, everyone is giving you good tips about everything but the $160 range. Everyone else is going way over the price you listed. Deck: Mini-Logo ($40) - seems cheap but it is a very nice board. Especially for starters. Trucks: Venture ($60) - Very nice and light trucks, that are durable. Wheels: Blank wheels. ($25) - Blank wheels aren't cheap like they sound. You can get them at your local skate shop most likely. Barings: Reds ($25) - Very nice and quick. Bolts, etc.: ($15) Anything, but I'd reccomend Circa. Grip tape: Element Skateboard and/or Mob - All are good but these are particularly resistant to rain. Roughly $175. Let me tell you that is incredibly cheap. My setup cost about $450.

bakers are dependable and will last along time zeros have the most pop and elements just suck so dont get one tensors are the LIGHTEST trucks if ever had they are way better than inde or destruco and they last along time to bones redz are about 16 bucks and they are abec 7s which is good spitfire wheels or ricta wheels are the best i like ricta because they are harder wheels for street skating and because they are hard cunks wont chip off if u hit a rock or somehting DO not buy wheels that are 2 colors where it does like a white side and a black side these will break right in half if u land to hard on them

dont listen to any of those truck suggestions. ive been skating for 7 years trying to find trucks that last long and dont go lopsided when breaking them in. promise me from now on youll ride independent trucks. deck, wheels and all that dont really matter theyre all the same except for sizes. but independent needs no introduction. the best skaters in the world ride them and the only reason people end up riding for the other truck companies is for the money. eric koston, who was previously sponsored by royal trucks. didnt even ride them when he was sponsored by them, they sent him free trucks to his house, but he always rode independents. you can try other truck companies and you can like them, but once you ride independent youll never go back. the shape of the trucks in proportion to base plate is perfect and the bushings they use in ratio with their hangers and axles are exact and to the right durbility. 6 pro skaters in 2007 were in a competition to do the best trick they could down the legendary wallenburg 4. none of them were sponsored by independent yet minutes before the comp started they all agreed they wouldnt throw themselves down something so colossul unless they had a pair of independent stage 9's uinder their feet. i grind alot and have been skating for 6 years now and every pair of indys ive had have never failed.

Minilogo's are the best decks IMHO, and cheap too. Trucks..if you want light I'd go for Grind King or Independent Kostons, wheels...I like bones, or Dark Star. Bearings I like the cheap ATM's they break in fast, and theyr'e fast. Good luck....keep pushin.
