Answer 3

Ok you want a new board. The deck really doesn't matter just get a graffic that you like. Don't get a fiberlam deck type or any element decks cause they will lose their pop fast and are flimsy. The boardshop decks at your local shop are good, cheap, and work. Here are some respectable deck companies, Almost, enjoi, Santa Cruz, Toy Machine, Darkstar, Plan B, Habitat, Alien Workshop, Baker and Chocolate.

Either Mob or jessup grip tape should do you well, they are the best grip companies. Check out: http://www.mobgrip.com/grip/index.php  

The best truck companies out there are Independent, Krux, Thunder, and Tensor. Independents are very very strong and last forever but they are kinda heavy. Thunders and tensors are great and really light.  Krux are like a mix between longevity, strength, and light weight, I really recommend them.

The hardware really doesn't matter, but don't get desructo hardware cause the are metric and won't work on your skate tool.    

For bearings I highly recommend Bones Reds. They are super cheap, last forever, and are fast! They are the biggest bang for your buck but any ABEC 7 rated bearing will do you fine. you could go for the more expensive Swiss models but they are really expensive.

And for the wheels go with Ricta's cause I powerslide all the time with them and they don't flatspot. Great wheels overall. I've never had Spitfires or autobahns but my friends say they are good.

Overall this complete should cost you around $120 (good price for a great complete) and should last forever. Good luck!!
