Answer 1

Deck

If you want good pop i recommend you get a Habitat.

Trucks

I suggest you get tensors of grind king. for good durability.

Wheels

Ricta sucks so forget about them they get too many flatspots.

You should get Spitfire wheels.

Bearing

Get some Bones Swiss. There a little bit pricey but they're worth it. and there better than half the bearing out there.

Hardware

It doesn't matter what kind of hardware you get just any brand. But if you want a certain one get Shorty's.

Griptape

Get Black Magic or Jessup  

Answer 2

DECK-  yeah thats pretty good. decks are pretty much all the same through. its either oak wood ( k mart decks) canada wood ( element, almost, blacklabel... ect.) and newen pine. 200 dollar decks and rare to find.

but some brands get abit bigger pop. like the tail is made more tilted. and alost does have good pop.

TRUCKS-  tensors are good, 3 of my friends have them and so do i. there really good. if not those, go inderpendant.

WHEELS- i would suggest that you buy spitfires. i have 2 pairs of them atm. i love them. im sticking with those ever.

but once again. there like almost nearly the same. just differnt sizes. and either soft or hard. ( hard for speed and soft for powersliding)

BEARINGS- reds. enless you got like 100$ left, get bones super swiss. i got them and really good. but not really worth the extra 100$ though.

hope i helped.

Answer 3

deck

Habitats are amazing a love the feel I almost got another one but they didnt have any in stock I would defnetly gat a habitat almosts are good but I heard that there not that kight but yeah both of those are good a great deck brand though is plan b absoultey amazing pop

trucks

tensors....I would suggest getting ventures those are light and there really low I recomond those or independence those are 2 of the best brands

wheels

Ive never usesd ricatas but I heard the really good so Yeah go for those I perfer spit fire than any other brand for me in my opnion just because there soft wheels so they dont get caught on a pebbel

bearings

BONES REDS best you can get dont get the crapy element ones I got they were the last in stock and I didnt wont mystery bearings so I got element rasta bearings bones reds are where its at.

my set-up is on my page if you wanna see what I have its pretty good.

GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPED

Answer 4

Hm I've had a few different decks. I currently have plan b and they are pretty good. They have lots of pop. But if you're choosing between a habitat and almost. Get an almost they are very good. Tensor trucks aren't that good. Royal are good. I have Royals this very moment. and Ricta wheels I have those on my setup. They are amazing, seriously. They are smooth. Ricta has a lot to choose from.
