You gonna build a it or are you going to buy it prebuilt?

I heard REAL boards are nice and I have Venture Super-Light low trucks and they are very nice.

Are you gonna skate vert or street?

Haha, Honestly I started off with BMX, then i switched to snowboarding and BMX and seeing as i have always had felt interested in skating, figured i would do that too, and i did it in the past, but never put as much effort into it as the other two

Low trucks are best for street skating and hi trucks are best for vert. You should get some medium trucks since you're not sure. How tall are you? It determines your deck size.

8.00 would be a good deck/truck size for you.

Yes. I used to be big into skating a year or two ago.

I could help you out.

Make sure you get a quality deck. Get a good width for your size.

Low trucks if you are a street skater rather than vert.

Plan B makes really good decks.

Get yourself some bones swiss bearings.
