are you a begginer or itermediate or pro (not likely)? you should probubly get something you like without any bodys opinion. this post will stir a debate. see, everybody here is different and like different boards and trucks. so just go with what YOU want.

If you're just starting out go buy yourself a blank deck. It will save you cash, normallly $30 cheaper, and they're just as good as the "pro" ones. I know guys that are amazing and they all skate blank decks.
Other than that just get a setup that is light as possible.... I try to keep my board feather light because it's easier to do tricks and you can get more height. You really notice that your board is light when you step onto your friends and it feels like riding a 2x4 with bricks for wheels ;)
Overall blank wheels are good as well but get some kind of name brand trucks and bearings. This doesn't mean you should purchase the most expensive one's because normally the most expensive ones aren't even the best.
Whatever trucks and bearings you decide to get, they will probably last the longest out of all your skateboarding equipment. See what the shop has in stock and ask the sales people. It's always best to ask employees questions. ;)
