Question:

I'd like to buy a skateboard for myself for around $100. I need advice about brands, styles, and parts.

About me:

-13 years, 5'10", 135 lbs.

-Mostly street skating, but I would do a bit of ramp and technical skating (I live by a skate park)

-I need durable wheels and bearings

-For bearings: the smoother the better (as always)

-This will be my first decent board, but I'm sure I learn it fast.

-Symmetry would be nice, but if there's something better for me: great!

-The lighter the better in terms of weight.

Any advice would help a lot.

  1. Venture trucks

    Spitfire wheels

    element bearings

    Element or Plan b skateboard


  2. FLIP Bro!

  3. griptape mob its just the best

    deck almost impact, its light and very strong.

    trucks tensor magnesium response 25% lighter than average and even not counting that they're still great

    wheels bones stf

    bearings reds they 10$ or any other bones bearings if u wanna pay for it

    ull be looking at around 120$ or so, its bit over what you wanted but still a good price, if u need a cheaper one, get a blank deck and then the total will be like 90$

  4. OK

    Deck:baker,zero(thy are very light and have awesome flip)

    Risers:any will do but H-Block is better

    Trucks:cheap-industrial,monster,royal  not cheap-ventre,thunder

    Bearing:bones reds/speed demon abec-7

    Wheels:(i prefer spitfire) but since you only have 100$ then flips or TGM(from ebay)

    Grip Tape:any(black magic, black diamond, mini logo, jesup)

    Hardware:

  5. i see....

    well if u want cheap smooth bearings, id say go with bones reds.  they only about 20 bucks

    cause swiss bearings are expensive at around $50

    ricta wheels are great for durability

    if you want light trucks, the lighest is tensor, but the heaviest is independent. silver trucks are light and good all around, so are destructos

    plan b, enjoi, chocolate, or girl are great brands that are durable and have good pop

    chocolate and girl are made by the same company
