So heres the downlow:

I've skated before. Nothing too big besides cruising the neighborhood and popping a few ollies here and there.
Ive had 2 setups before, an Enjoi deck with blank trucks and wheels,I dont know what bearings I used. Then I also had a Darkstar with Tensor trucks, 50mm darkstar wheels and speed demon bearings.

But heres my delima:
I have neither of those 2 skateboards today. The Enjoi deck snapped,and the Darkstar I loaned out to a friend and have never gotten it back,and I doubt I ever will,because that friend just-so conviently moved.

I need a new deck,and I have not much money to spend. I dont want to spend a lot of money on anything brand name,but I want quality. I read the "So you want to be a skateboarder" stickie and it suggested a blank complete from Blankdecks.com, but I was wondering is these were any good?
I need some suggestions on what to get,I hope to start skating more but currently I have nothing to ride.

Above is a thread showing many of the boards on the site.

I recently bought a sturdy mold, and it kicks po-tutti (butt). A disadvantage is it is very flexible.

What mold would you suggest yourself for a semi-beginner? I will be skating street more than anything, so what might be a good mold for me?

Sturdy Mold provides a good fit.

The Medium Concave is great, but the shape bugged me for some reason.

Overall I would suggest the Sturdy Mold. :)

just go with a california or canadian blank, pretty much same thing except canadian blank you can pick a color for it.

I also have the sturdy mold, as said before it is a little flexible, but it's still a pretty good board.

Well I dont want anything too flexible, nothing that might hurt its sturdyness.

And I dont care about the color of it.
