I'm putting up a new setup, and I have a question..

[Slyde]

About this deck that I'm thinking about getting.
It is an Almost, because I support Rodney Mullen all the way.

Here's the URL'S to my settup.

I don't question anything at all except the deck. Would I be better off with a FIGHT!?

The deck is up for veto, discuss please.

[JoeyKovacs]

I know you said everything else is final, but do yourself a favour, and stay away from Tensor trucks. They have barely any grindspace. THEREFORE, they aren't good.

Get Krux, Venture, or Independents.

As for the deck, if you support mullen, then buy an almost. It's just not the greatest choice, but its up to you.

[Slyde]

Rodney Mullen is the founder/funder of the Tensor company, they are extremely light and durable. Besides, I don't think I will be doing grinds anytime soon.

I think Ventures are too heavy, or at least the one that I have.
I'm probably going to go with the FIGHT! Warbird, Tensor Army green/black trucks, Yellow Natural Rictas, and hardware and bearings remain.

[Greenday]

Yes, you would be better off with a Fight! I would still suggest you change the trucks cause there's a chance you could learn grinds before you get new truck. Krux are probably just as light as Tensors. I would help if you got the Bones Swiss with the labyrinth design.

[Slyde]

I'll get any Bone Swiss bearings you want me to get, as long as it's Bone Swiss OK?

As for the trucks, that's probably the area I'm weakest in, knowledge-wise.
I know that Tensors are extremely light, ex with a capital X. XTREMELY. :D
My friend has them and I have tried it out, it's a pretty good overall truck company.

As for as Krux, I've heard a lot about Krux III's, but I haven't heard anything other than "tey R soOo Gud d00d!".Could you find me some good trucks that can fit a 7.75 width board?

Thanks in advanced.

[Dr._Skate]

tensors are not good.
truck weight doesn't affect anything cause its only a a couple ounces.
and raw trucks will save you $$$$$$
try these, nice trucks

[Kam1kaze]

Get independants or thunders. Tensors are shit. The bearings and wheels are good, but personally I like white wheels over colored wheels. If you really want an almost, whatever, but theres better choices out there. The grip and hardwares fine.

[strong_racing43]

Get a Fight! deck
Krux Trucks
And get Reds, the swisses arnt really worth it in my opion.

[sde780]

IMO Lucky's ABEC 5's are a lot better than Reds. And so are Black Panthers.

[Slyde]

My brother has a Cali-blank and a pair of Black Panthers, they are shit IMO, sorry.

OK guys, I definitely got the idea that Tensors really aren't good, I will take your overall advice and hit the Krux trucks up. I will take the natural white Rictas as well. I will also take the FIGHT! deck, thanks a bundle guys.
