popwar- a good deck nice pop. locals on forum and skateparks say there ok.

Edit this a little bit. Alien and Habitat are the exact same. Also there are a lot of different kinds of blanks. Minilogos, ATMs, shop decks, Maple. Put Zero/Mys on there too. If you've ever ridden a canadian maple blank, Zero/Mys is the same thing but with a graffic. Mys has a bit more concave, hardly noticable but it's loaded with white paint which has to make it a teensy bit stronger. Although that's not going to prevent yer board from snapping. Oh Rasa = Anti Hero = Real = Krooked Skateboards. Indy trucks = Thunders aswell but different paint job. I'm sure I mentioned that before.

Girl = Chocolate .. Mmmhmm Chocolate girl..

griptape


jessup-personal favoriate. it doesnt peel off or go flat easily......

shorty's black magic- another favorite. it kinda works the same as jessup but for me jessup lasted longer

iron horse- it is ok but not as good as black magic or jessup


hardware-nuts bolts\riser pads

shorty's hardware-i get shorty's cause there cheap and im use to them

randoms hardware- .......it really doesnt matter what kind you get

grind kings riser pads- these are good long lasting ones. i recomend them. they absorb impact really good.
