TGK wrote 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?


Probably build it, and mostly just street but ill prob try vert later on

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.

currently i am 5'10 or so my doc says lol

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

Alright man. Thanks for the help. Ill keep what you said in mind for when i start searching for my board :thumbsup: :neo:

Kurisu wrote 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.

I was honestly thinking about that or a Enjoi board, i have heard good things about them as well.


Personally, I wouldn't go Enjoi but it's your decision. are you looking on CCS or a local skate shop?

I did for 9 years.

Get a Plan B, Baker, Zero, or an Element deck.

For trucks, I would highly recommend independents, they are amazing, and last for a VERY long time.

Get Spitfire wheels, they are AMAZING!

For you bearings get Bones reds or Swiss, swiss's are expensive, but last for a very long time.
