  1. quality made in the USA deck, probably plan b or habitat.

    independent trucks

    bones bearings

    51mm ricta or spitfire wheels

    and black griptape, none of that g*y clear or neon colored c**p


  2. You need parts.

  3. You could if you skate vert you should probably go for a birdouse or you could try boom boom huckjam series they could be orderd off tonyhawk.com or if your street skater you could try element alienworkshop plan b or you could try enjoi

    theres a lot more if you go to ccs.com for ideas. But if you want good wheels go for spitfire!

    HOPE THIS HELPED AND GOOD LUCK

  4. You will need a deck, trucks, hardware, bearings, wheels and grip tape.  You need to decide what size and type of board you want.  Once you know that, get trucks that are the right width,  The wheels are selected based on what type of skating you will do and the terrain you will be skating on.  Grip tape comes in various degrees of roughness. It's a preference.  Generally tech skaters like finer grit, vert skaters like coarse and park skaters like something in between.  Hardware is hardware, it just needs to hold the tricks to the deck.  With bearings, get ones that are serviceable.  Crimped on shields can't be cleaned or lubricated.  

    Go to a local skate shop and check out the decks and pick out the one that feels good.  The people at the shop can help out with the right stuff

  5. it all depends on how YOU like to skate, but i like skating stairs and ledges, so i think that i have a good street set up: plan b deck, destructo trucks, bones swisses bearings, 51 mm spitfire wheels

  6. well u need a flat piece of wood

    a pair of wheels

    and legs
