Getting board need to know stuff

[FearFactory]

ok im just gonna get a blank board cuz im broke, and i just want a board, from what i heard thats ok. but i want some decent trucks and what not and i have no idea what to get in many ways. i was thinking about getting venture trucks but i dont know what sizes they come in, i dont know what kind of bearings to get or how many, i dont know what else to get or what else i need. so if you could please help me by just listing everything i need including the stuff i already listed, and maybe a brand you suggest. and if you have a favorite place to get them that would be cool too. thx a lot guys, l8r

you'll need:

a deck
2 trucks
4 wheels
8 bearings
hardware

a blank deck is fine. i'd opt for venture or royal trucks. wheels are really your preference, none are are much "better" than other ones.. bones reds or shortys black panthers or quickies will make a good set of beginners bearings. hardware is basically all the same, i use shortys silverado's because the 2 silver screws make me smile. get this all at your local skateshop, if there isnt one nearby and can order stuff on the net, skateboard.com is good.

you could also look on ebay, sometimes youll find some nice completes for cheap, i got mine for 61 plus 20 shipping/handling.
i got
Zero Jamie Thomas
Venture Blanks
Amphetamies Abec 7 (no name bearings)
Ninja 51mm wheels.
Shortys hardware.

blanks are good though, they cost alot less, but if youi look on ebay youll find name brand stuff for the same price as a blank if ur lucky.
yeah like he said
youll need
deck
grip
2 trucks
8 bearings
4 wheels
hardware

i will suggest some brands

deck (blank) or any of your favorite brands
grip (doesnt really matter)
trucks (ventures, indie, grind king)
bearings (bones red)
wheels (ricta, gold, spitfire, ninja)
hardware (shortys)

Ventures are good trucks.

Bearings come in packs of 8 2 for each wheel, I recommend Bones Redz.

SpitFire Wheels are good.you'll need 4

Blank Decks are fine by me try a 7.75inch Deck(width) get the trucks same width(7.75)

[Ephieboy14]

ur trucks need to be the same width as ur board

[flipside433]

try venture or tensor trucks and get spitfire or try ricta wheels
