  1. if you need a cheap complete skateboard google TGM skateboards they have very cheap products that helped me first skate

    recommend

    Flip

    World Industries

    Blind

    Any cheap skateboard


  2. element good concave and technology

  3. I recommend mini logo for your first board, they are very good quality and cost about 30$. Wheels, I really like bones. Trucks grind king.

    Tips: Don't get frustrated, learning to skate takes alot of patience. When learning to ollie try it standing still first with your board in the grass or in a sidewalk crack. This keeps the board from rolling, wich makes it easier.

    good luck

  4. Well i would suggest that you start off with something simple. Like Flip or Element. When you get better then try an Almost. As for trucks, i suggest Ventures or Thunders because they offer easy control and they're really light, for bearings i highly recommend a nice set of bones reds due to the fact that they can go really fast.

    Your wheels depend on if you want to be street or vert. i recommend starting off street and getting a set of 52, 53, or 54mm spitfire wheels.

    All this stuff would make a pretty good deck but its just what i recommend.

  5. ok well your a beginer so I would start out with an element or worldindusteries then upgrade to the "fancy" boards like plan b or enjoi or alien workshop I think for trucks you should get thunders or royals I'm not a big fan of royals buut there not that bad so I think they could pass for wheels I like spitfire there really really good you could get those or enjoi wheels where my first real brand wheels but you can get what ever you want and even though its your first board get bones bearings there excellent the best of the best I highly recmond them.

    A couple tips for skating. Its a fresh start dont ruin it with fear

    dont get frusterated take it slow with tricks

    make sure you master one trick tyill you move on to the next

    watch out for cops and thats about it.

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW BOARD WHATEVER TYPE YOU GET AND I HOPE THIS HELPED

  6. ok, for getting a good board, you better hope you have some big cash in your pocket. and i'm talking $130-$160. the more money you spend, the better quality it'll be.

    if your first starting skating, then i would NOT get an expensive board. go with a non team named deck because it'll only be around $30. plus in reality, they all last around the same time. the workers just tell you the team named are better so they can stack that cash $$

    for trucks, go for ventures, krux, or royals. the best trucks there is. i think ventures are the best because they're cheap, original looking, and last a long *** time! go for lows or meds. [the height of the trucks]

    for wheels, it doesn't really matter what type you get. i mean, i get rictas, bones, and darkstars. but thats just me. the size is more important. go from 45mm 53mm

    for bearings LUCKYS, black panthers, or reds. the first two are acutally the best because they can rust and still spin longer than a fresh set of bearings. the reason i say reds is because they are still very good, last long, and are the cheapest and popular bearings there is. about $15 for reds.

    for hardware, griptape, and risers, it doesn't matter what kind. risers aren't necassary but will help in the end to keep your board lasting longer so that way it doesn't get stress or pressure cracks.

    to start out, practice riding around places. once you got a feel for keeping balance and riding good, move on to ollieing, cavemans, bonelesses, caspers, manuals, and nose manuals. if you're only going to be doing fliptricks, then the ollie is the only important thing. but its best to know these things. the more the merrer. then when you feel you have your ollie good, to the point of where you can ollie over a board and across one laying down [which is good for distance and heighth] then move on to trying tricks. its all about practice practice PRACTICE. if you want to learn tricks or get stuck on one, ask a friend how he/she does it, read it up online or watch how to videos on youtube. skate for atleast an hour a day or every other day if you really want to be dedicated to this.
