Hey, and first question

[jusfuris]

hey, im new to skateboarding. and im a 20 year old college student (odd i know, but eh whatever) anyway ive just about definatley decided on the set up im getting:

DECK: Alien Workshop Chaos - Heath Kirchart Skateboard Deck - 7.75 in. x 31.625 in. (the one in my avatar)

TRUCKS: Independent Stage 9 (Set of 2) Skateboard Trucks - 139mm - Black Gloss Hanger / Red Base

WHEELS: Alien Workshop Heath Kirchart Chaos (Set of 4) Skateboard Wheels - 55mm

BEARINGS: Toy Machine Sect w / Dispenser (8 Pack) Skateboard Bearings - ABEC 5

anyway, i was going to order the setup this week sometime from Actionvillage. but they sold out of the deck. or atleast the AWS one, they have the exact same graphic and named one in Habitat. its actually in their AWS section. so i was wandering, are Habitat and AWS the exact same thing? i did a search and it seems their by the same company, but are they the exact same deck?

thanks all

very very very good choice, thats a good choice, GJ!!!!!!!! youll love skating, its like nothing like anything else, SK84LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

[jusfuris]

thanks! but they just sold outta the wheels too, so im getting spitfires.

anyway, so this Habitat board is exactly the same as that AWS board, no difference at all?

I guess there are slight differences but its like Honda/Acura except you dont get leather interior with either Habitat or AWS. Honestly if you get a AWS or a Habitat either way your fine. I'm on my third Habitat, and skated one AWS. Good decks man.

Also its never to late to skate. I'm in college also but have been skating for a little while.

[jusfuris]

ok well i guess ill just go ahead and get it then. theyre both good and im pretty sure its the same board anyway.

[Zer0 Her0]

Personally all good choices but I dislike Independent's trucks..

[crazy_dave]

Yeah their the same. There both made by DNA distribution (i think) so that means same wood, processes etc. Good choice!

[StevoElSupremo]

get thunders or royal trucks man

[smurf88]

Independent Stage 9 trucks are good.

[jusfuris]

i ordered it yesterday. and ive always heard good things about indepents from guys ive talked to, so i got those. and they ran outta the matching wheels so i got some spitfire's

[Griptape Flip]

Cool, Spitfire's are pretty tight. I will argue Stevo's point though...Independent makes a great set of trucks. Stage 9's are sweet, good choice.

[GoofyDoofus]

the only thing ide say u should change, is your bearings. if i wer u ide get bones reds. they dont have an abec but they rule... and if not them get hkd 7 abecs.

[FireFreek]

Yeah, I hear T-sects are good.. Spenser swears by them.

All of that setup is really good.

[just skate dude]

yea bones red rock

[lost_and_found]

Nice setup, I had an AWS once but got to mad and threw it a bit much so it did'nt last long. I may get another one soon seen as I don't get angry as much anymore.

[jusfuris]

yeah i liked the bones reds, but the place i got it from was out of them. and i heard the t-sects were really good so i got them.
