Hey all.

I found some gear on ebay and I was wondering wether it is any good or not. Remember all prices are in AUS. So here it is.

Deck (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7231133308&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

Bearings (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7245043566&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

Hardware (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7242026462&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

This is what I need. The Seller does not have any trucks so Ill have to buy some from a shop near me. Im thinking these:

Trucks (http://www.elementskateboards.com/dynamicProducts/index_new.php?category_id=2020&line_id=23)

And I have some old Element wheels. Also I can get grip tape and get it put on for $8 at a shop near me. So that would be everything I need. I just want to know if this stuff is anygood because I dont know much about this stuff. I think they're like the really fast bearings. And i know element is a good brand so I chose them and then just picked trucks that looked cool. So yeah.

Any suggestions?

um get a 7.75 or 8.0 and blankdeck has very high quality stuff for cheap, ebay has 15 dollar shipping which is to much if you ask me

erm, the deck is good, the bearings are good, the hardware is good, the wheels and trucks though, I dont think much of. element wheels and trucks are a big no-no. element bearings are a yes-yes, though. get blank, no-name wheels (the brand wears off the side after 2 weeks, so what difference does it make?) and get some spraycans to spray up that deck. get someone (or yourself) to spray it up before applying the grip tape, so that you dont get any on the tape.

I'd say the best bearings to get are black panthers or speed deamons. for decks i'd go with element or girl, wheels i wouldn't be so sure cuz to me they're all the same, it just depends weather you want soft or hard. trucks would be tensor, destruckto or phantom.
