Where are you from? There should be some skate shops where you live, or you can make one on a website, or buy one off amazon or ebay.

I have skated for years and still occasionally do. Through my experience never go with a preassembled board. The bearings and trucks are almost always complete crap. It would be much easier for you to learn on a custom board. Go to a local skate shop and the guys in there should help you out. Don't hesitate to ask them questions. thats why they're there. And with skating it takes a LOT of persistence to improve and get good. Don't give up if you feel like your not improving.

Good Luck :2thumbsup:

You can make one, but the quality sucks.
I skate on a Blind Eternal Life II.
You can run it over with a car and it won't break.


EDIT: Oh, you mean a complete. You should build one.

Get a customize board. Pre assembled boards aren't the best.

If you're going to get something customized I would get a Toy Machine or Alien Workshop deck. Go for Jessup grip tape and Independent trucks. REDS make great bearings and Bones makes some great wheels. This is just my personal opinion though. Feel free to get whatever you like!

If you got the money just buy what you think would work best for you. Skate that, if you don't like it. Buy something else. Everyone has different opinions on skating.
