[BamaBball3697]

hey i am new to the forum i used to skateboard,never got a good deck though i quit and started aggressive skating well i want to get back into boarding what is the best deck that is light durable good for flip tricks and grinding and good for street and what is a really good pair of shoes that r durable and has good grip what kind of grip tape should i get and what type of bearings,wheels,trucks and all that stuff should i get please help

[ryan0100]

i would get a blank they are cheap and good and for shoes i wear dc but it is up to you

[evilcheese00]

It's all personal prefence, but after quite a few years skating this is what i ride.

Blank deck
Venture hi
Blueprint 53mm wheels
Lucky 7's/titanum
Any hardwhere (not randoms type)
Any grip

I also feel that eS make the best quality skate shoes. And yes, i'm a street skater that does lots of flip tricks and grinds.

for a deck i would say popwar
any wheels will do
bone reds are good bearings for the price
and i like royal trucks but thats just me

[grimreaper65]

i would suggest alien workshop decks, also some pnctuation would be nice.

[el_whiteboy8888]

well its one or the other for decks. if you want durable as hell, go zero, some say they are heavy but not mine. for light, try either an element (wich may suck) or a popwar. thats my take. my current set up gose:
zero or die blood deck
jessup grip
venture lo-lites (with random, old bushings)
lucky black beuties
blank wheels
blank hardware
bam v.2 shoe (soon to be AL202s)
it suits me very well, the shoes suck however, and its a littel expensive. get one like it, DO NOT ride it to school if you want to see it again

no such thing as "best". all up to personal preference. get something u think u'll like. Here's my setup if you wanna check it out:

aws deck
royal trucks
fillmore wheels
black panther 3 bearings

everything else doesn't matter. actually, as long as you have a decent setup, it doesn't matter that much about what it is because just htink about it. pros skate for all the companies you're using so if they can do what they're doing with what you think is crap, then you can probably do it too. they're just human.

Well for a board I would get Element,Darkstar or Black Label.

Trucks-probaly some phantoms they pretty good.
bearing-Lucky 7's
griptape-blackmagic(it is pretty good)
wheels-spitfire(it really doesnt matter)

Overll what fits you best :):):)

[sk8dirtywheels]

board, baker, enjoi, habitat or a shortys.
bearings, lucky 7s
grip jessup or generic
wheels blank 50 mm

[Flipstreetskate]

heres my ideal shiznit:
enjoi either 7.625 or 7.75 deck
thunder low trucks(really loose)
Bones Reds Bearings
Darkstar 52-54mm wheels
hardware
griptape

[SBsmurf]

Deck- Enjoi. I love my plaid deck.
Shoes- I wear Adio Dukes... I like them
Grip- Jessup Black Magic Doesnt matter much
WHeels- RICTA!
Bearings- Bones Red, Super Swiss Whichever floats ur boat
Trucks- Indy STage 9s, I like SIlver Trucks. And for hardware Halos...

[New York Skate]

DECK - Zoo York
SHOES - Nike Airforce Ones
Grip - Doesnt Matter but i costumize mine with cuts
wheels - element
Bearings - Hawk Speed
Trucks - Venture Low

[pr0o boarder]

for a deck i wud get a blank deck because u dont want a pro deck if u r just startingbecause if u break the pro one thats a lot of money wasted. fo the shoes, i wear dc but thats my opionion
