Hey look who is replying....again.
Here's what I personally would get out.
Toy Machine or Popwar deck...I don't really like AWS but I have only tried one.
Just some Bones Reds or Toy Machine T-Sects(Transistor Sects) and ABEC doesn't matter.
Thunder trucks.
Shorty's or generic hardware.
Ricta wheels.
Jessup or Wooster grip.
No risers if you want low setup.

grip tape.. just jessup. and hardware doesnt really matter.
autobahn wheels are good.

Acctually, Abec does matter. Its how many little metal balls are in the bearing. The bigger the number, the faster the wheels will spin. If youre a beginner, i would go for abec-5's. It makes it a little easier to land and do tricks cause u dont have to worry bout ur board goin flyin out from under ya when u land. But, Its whatever your comfortable with. You dont have to take our word for it.

abec isnt the number of ball bearings. its sort of like the "quality" or "precision" of the bearing in how its made. but you dont need to know about it unless youre a rocket scientist.

Heh....uhh....I knew that.^ but i stand by the fact that the abec does make a difference. I want to see someone get on a board with abec-3's then get on one with abec-7's and say that they cant tell a difference.

haha who told you that info?
and yeah spenser is right.
you aren't going to be going fast enough to have your bearings withstand that much and thats like what ABEC is.

Ok come deliver me a board and 2 sets of bearings.
I can't tell a difference between the two. Actually there is one. MONEY!

Ok Here's what I think...
Deck: Blank or Shop Deck. All them pro models/team boards cost a lot more than shop or blank decks. Why? Because they have some fancy graphic on it (which'll wear out rather quickly) or because the have someones name on it. Blank all the way.
Bearings: Bones Reds. They are all you will ever need and more.
Wheels: I honestly don't think it matters
Trucks: Krux. No reason in particular, I just liked em the best of all the trucks I've skated
Everything Else: Stuff like hardware, I don't see how it would make a difference. Go for the good grip though, you dont want none of the sketchy ghetto shit.

Seriously all you had to do is think about it, like if you had abec 1s, you couldn't just have one ball in a bearing, it's and impossibility...

dude you should get a blank deck because they are about 1/2 the price of a logo deck. bones reds or black panthers for berrings. spits all the way for wheels. krux or venture for trucks. black magic or kayo griptape. any hardware (get it at lowes for all i care) and you should get some riser pads.
