Are FDK Sawblade ABEC 7 bearings, Black Magic Griptape, and an Almost Impact deck any good?

Question

I have Bones Reds bearings which are absolutely great but I have never tried FDK Bearings before. I have jessup and mob griptape on my other skateboards which works and haven't tried black magic grip before. And are almost impact decks good? I am buying all this stuff from ccs (Almost Deawon OG Impact Deck, FDK Sawblade speed bearings abec 7 gold, and black magic grip tape by shorty's.) Please help.

Answer 1

A. Never buy anything from CCS. The web has like 50 other shops with better prices who ship faster. Do you really want to shop at the walmart of skateshops? Also, buy from a shop that at least has a real store tied to it.

B. The grip question is hard, I really love Jessup and always have. Mob was pretty good and I was ehh with Black Magic. Are you looking for something more grippy?

C. The impact boards are nice, they definitely don't break as much as the normal decks. I've skated a few but never his, so you can't go wrong with that. I used to break boards alot and now, not so much.

D. Those FKD bearings are sick, I've used them a few times and are a huge step up from Reds. Have to say, I do like HKDs better, and the price is cheaper. http://www.specialtysports.com/Flip-HKD-...

Answer 2

He's Right, don't buy from CCS. Try a site with good selection like www.blackholeboards.com

Stick with Bones Reds, Black Magic is good but Mob is better, Almost Impact decks are great, I have one. The pop lasts, and you can feel the difference when you ride.
