Hey. I'm thinking about skating and i want to get into it really cheap so if I decide to quit it wont cost me to much. I'm thinking of just getting a Active Blank 7.75 from skateboarding.com. Is that fine?

if you buy a crappy deck then your giong to get discouraged and quit because you can't do shit on a crappy board like that. If quit just sell the parts on E-bay. Its worth the extra money to buy something with a little more quality

If you are skating just to be cool or maybe fit in, quit. If not get a good board and welcome to the awesome world of skateboarding.

wow, well said Stoopid. Basically, don't be a *****. haha.... Buy a high quality deck, learn some high quality shizit, and have fun..

Buy a Low Quality Deck, learn some low quality NOTHING, and probably shoot yourself and yah.

You get what you pay for.

I would go with the level 2 deck since you want cheap but also good. This is what I would pic and as a matter of fact this is almost what I have right now. :D

Go with regular concave, I guess. Wait, and see what other guys think about your money and newness situation and see what they have to say. They can help.

get the canandian decks, from blankdecks.com, if you do this you will have a quality deck made from the same wood as a companies deck, thats all they are pretty much only made with different shapes and concaves.

well...if your going to pay that much for a blank I suggest you go to evileds.com they have the cheapest completes I have ever seen. They come with a brand name board or your choice speed demon abec 7 bearings blank trucks and I think usaully baker wheels all for only 70 dollars or less. But they have horrible service, it took them 2 weeks before they shipped my board out but it's so cheap.
