Well, I think I'm ready to come back to skateboarding.

I know leaving skateboarding, or taking a long break, isn't what a true skater would do. But I play multiple sports; baseball and football. I love baseball, I play for my high school. My coach said it would be best for me to quit skating because of the chance that I could get injured and all of my hard work for athletics would be wasted. So I listened to him.

But I realized that I love skating just as much as I love baseball, which is saying a lot because I've been playing baseball since I was 6, and now I'm 16.

So I think it's time I make my return, but I need a bit of advice.

Here's the current situation, and please bare with me through this long thread:

I have a deck already, it's an old Element Bamtality that I've had for a while but haven't really skated it that much. It's been through a bit, but it feels great. So now I need new griptape, hardware, trucks, wheels, bearings, the whole nine yards. What setup do recommend to accommodate my deck? Money is pretty budgeted around here so I need the best bang for my buck.

Venture makes good trucks, I swear by Shorty's hardware, Pig wheels are nice, Jesse for griptape, and bones is the best for bearings.

black magic grip, shortys hardware, reds bearings, any wheels, krux trucks, well pretty much anything will do if your a beginner.
