would anyone recommend this board for a first timer, can't really tell if its a good board or worth the money, any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't say what trucks its got! I'd check out www.blankdecks.com for a beginner. Dont wanna get an expensive setup, if skating isn't the thing for you.

Yes they could send you a nice PopWar board with plastic trucks. If you want a complete Popwar for an incredible price, I saw this a bit back, but sadly after I had bought a blank.

PopWar Deck, Frontage Trucks, ABEC 7 Bearings, all for 45 $ plus shipping.
(Looks like they are all sold out on the type of deck that you mentioned earlier, the Diagnosis.)

frontage trucks suck! i would just go for the blank (crazy daves post)

I'm not 100% sure but I think the trucks on the Popwar are Krux. If they are then I would definatly buy it.

[Grand Poobah]

Hmm, they may not be the best, but they shouldn't be that much of a problem for a beginner?

[crazy_dave]

^they are most definitely not krux. Dont have the allen-key tightening.

Krux IIIs (http://www.skatewarehouse.com/descpageTRKRUX-KXTR3.html) don't have an allen kingpin.

does anyone reallize that its just a drawing of the deck? its not the actual thing... i have never seen lime green trucks b4.

I hope this doesn't come out as a double post, but its been several hours since my last attempted post while I was on campus so I'm going to try again..

So going with the blankdecks and this link http://www.blankdecks.com/completes/level_1_completes.htm

I'm still uncertain about a few things like the grip, hardness, size, etc.. what would be a good configuration given that I'm 5'11/ 150lb and I have my sister that would want to use it and she's like 5'3/ 90lb i think, should I get two separate boards?

They exist, lime green trucks, and they just happen to be krux too (which was why I suggested they were krux). They're actually a pro model, but I don't think they make those anymore because I haven't seen those green krux in a while since the louie came out, but they exist.

Well thanks for the help I'll just try configuring a blankdeck board.
