Sk8 or Die ytou should really get some information on things, it seems you know everything,

well ive narrowed it down to two decks both are zero here are links to them. http://www.blackholeboards.com/Exec/product.asp?userid=00000758348864&item_id=10207 and http://www.blackholeboards.com/Exec/product.asp?userid=00000758348864&item_id=1724 I like the first one because of its size but then again 7.625 isnt a big difference. Also I dont think the first deck has the center piece i guess on the graphic but the second does, but I really shouldnt be judging the deck by its graphics but this is the only way I can choose, Ive read reviews on both these decks they are both the same same flip same pop etc. Please someone help me decide!!

well now im goin back n forth with a flip and zero which do u think would be a better set up? Oh yeah for both of the trucks I put industria, ive never rode them, someone who has rode them, are they good? Please give me some feedback on which setup is better and should switch things around. Any advice will be great. Thanks

Flip: deck-Flip Hkd Red Deck - 7.5 x 31.25(non New Wave)
trucks-Industrial Truck 5.0 Red/black
wheels-Flip Hkd Logo 54mm-gum Ball Red
bearings-Flip Hkd Bearing Abec-5
hardware-Lucky Hardware 1"
griptape-Black Magic Grip

Zero: deck-Zero Pink Stripes Deck
trucks-Industrial Truck 5.0 Neon Pink/black
wheels-Zero Pink Stripes 52mm
bearings-not sure yet either zero black widow abec5 or bones reds

I'm sorry to say but both these setups blow to put it bluntly.
Recommendation time:
Deck: AWS or Habitat(theyre basically the same)
trucks: Thunders(Industrials are pretty junky, but unless you dont have the money for thunders, get the thunders)
wheels: whatever has a nice size for you
bearings: Bones Reds
hardware: Shorty's is always a good choice.
griptape: whatever's free as long as it is not Mob.

Shiit son! Take a look at a Popwar or a Girl. I like the decks you listed. My friend had the allamerican zero and it wasnt bad.Flips have weird shapes. And Darkstars ar actually shitty. Like they said workshops are really nice too. Right now im sporting a blank.

Ive skated Zero and Darkstar, i like them both. However, they aren't that good for flip tricks, And if you land dont on the bolts your boards get alot weaker.

i would say aws
its been said before but you seemed to be leaning on flip, or zero.
if you dont want aws choose zero over flip, flip decks are just wierd
and for gods sake dont get a pink board.

I like Flip's or Zero's darkstars just plain suck, my friend bought one and it snapped in like a month of doing 50-50's and boardslides 4 times a week.
