Well I wanted to get new trucks, wheels, and a deck. for bearings I have bones swiss but undecided between 2 dif companies for each thing I need.
For example:
Deck: Plan B or Zoo York (I've had many zoo yorks and theyre good but I've been wanting to try a Plan B so are they any good?)
Trucks: The new silver a-class trucks sound good but some ppl reviewed them bad and some good or should I go with independent 9 trucks? And if I prefer a 7.6-7.75 deck should I get 129mm trucks or 139? And are the independent stage 9 lows better than the regular ones? What would be the difference?
Wheels: I just wanted to know ur opinions on hubba wheels or should I go with bones stf.
If u guys can help me out with my situation id really appreciate it. Thanks

deck: i dont know. do whatever you want
trucks: deffinately not silver. they break really quick. i just got some indy stage 9s. i hope they are good. 139s are for like 8 inch decks. and the 129s and lows are for like 7.75 inch and lower decks. the difference between the 129s and the lows are one is a low truck and the other is a mid truck. (the hights are different)
Wheels: my friend has hubbas and they roll pretty nice. i think most wheels are pretty much the same.

as far as plan b decks go. they are very strong with very nice shapes and lots of pop. its a team favorite for my guys. silver trucks can be a good choice if you know what you are doing. i would suggest only settle for the pro model of the silver trucks. any other version of silver trucks seem to break based on what people have to say on this forum. you should probably just go with venture they are guaranteed forever.

Plan B, in my opinion the best board ive had so far is Plan B, cause i go for more of the mellow concave and i like that cause the boards like alien workshop, and habitat, boards with more concave i tend to pop more than flip in tricks such as varial flips and 360 flips.
so in my opinion Plan B's are really good, and i love them.
but most of the time its just personal preference.
Trucks: The new silver a-class trucks sound good but some ppl reviewed them bad and some good or should I go with independent 9 trucks? And if I prefer a 7.6-7.75 deck should I get 129mm trucks or 139? And are the independent stage 9 lows better than the regular ones? What would be the difference?
Well from what I heard, silvers are mediocre
their not awesome but their also not bad
in my opinion it would be good to get krux's or indy's or thunder's
Wheels: I just wanted to know ur opinions on hubba wheels or should I go with bones stf.
and in my opinion id go with bones, but thats just because ive never used hubba

Plan Bs are terrible. Syndrome doesn't know what they are doing. Weak, bad shapes, feel like diftwood. Zooyorks are dope. Antihero, Aws, Habitat, 5boro, crimson, etc... Are all amazing. Stay away from dwindle though.(almost, darkstar, enjoi)
Silvers are also terrible. Last a week at best. Indys ftw, will last you for ages. The 129 are what you want if your gunna stick with smaller boards, 7.75, give or take a bit. Indys are the best grinding, best riding and one of the most durable trucks all around I've ever had. I've had krux, ventures, royals, thunders... you name it, I've proably had it. Never wasted money on silvers though, just look shitty. My friend had them and I actually broke them skating his deck. They were a week old and the hanger broke. So I gave him a pair of ventures because I hate those too. With indys, just get new bushings, bones ftw, and you'll be set. Mine are just starting to crack at the baseplate and it has been a good 5 months.
Hubba wheels are dope. Bones are dope. Either way, you'll be set.

deck: for me, whatever is $40 at zumiez.
trucks: indy. i used to skate ventures but indys are so much nicer. last longer, skate better, are better in general.
wheels: whatever. don't go too far into the new techy shit except bones.

no, there is your ultimate set up. there are some people (like me) that wouldnt like the deck on that set up or other stuff on it.
for the creator of this thread: he has good ideas but get what ever you want. no one else is going to know what you like. they might know what they like and the might be good ideas but just remember, whats good for some might not be good for all.
