Im getting a new board soon and i was jus wondering if this is a good set-up:
Element Fire 4 Deck 7.625 X 31,
Spitfire Hotheads 52mm Wheels,
Grind King-6 "Canadian" Base 5.0 Trucks,
Pig Skewers 1.0" Hardware,
Flip HKD Abec-7 Bearings,
Element Screened Logo Grip Tape

Any recommendations

no, not an element! dont get one. gosh, y do all beginners want frealen elements?!?! I would go with alien workshop. i love em. pretty light, strond, and decent pop. otherwise if you arent looking to spend a lot you could get a mini-logo. I'd go with black magic or mob for griptape though.

dude its gonna be a loooooong while until you break a deck since youre new. also dont spend an anusload of money on a setup until you know whether you really wanna skate or not.

I never Buy Graphic decks unless they are presents so I wouldnt go with element more than likely. Last board i skater was a Shorty's I liked it but the ply was pretty bad on it The board is fine Trucks id do but id change the bearings .

bones reds. cheap and very good. and elements arent that good because they break soo quikly. it seems like every new boarder gets an element. ounce you get good you will know why elements suck and regret getting one

i started skating about last summer and i got a baker as my first board i liked it alot but i wanted to try a new brand so i got an element thriftwood this one doesnt have as much pop and isnt really that strong not to mention its wide on one end and skinnier on the other end. why? i suggest going with a baker i liked my baker alot better

Ya I agree with Phantom Rider7 bone reds are good, and dont get a Element they arent that good get a zero or black label or something.
Well good luck.
