Would it be better to by a skateboard as a complete set or in parts?

Question

I want to start skateboarding. I think it's a pretty cool hobby and sport. I'm wondering, would it be better to do buy the skateboard as a complete set or in parts? I'm a beginner.

I was planning on buying the skateboard in parts which would give me more variety to choose from. The total for the deck, trucks, wheels and bearings that I picked is 120. Would it be better to buy the skateboard in parts or in a complete set meaning it would be cheaper? If I buy them in parts, are the equipment I chose pretty decent or worth their price, if not, can you recommend other ones?

Equipment:

ATM Blank 7.875 Deck- $30

(2) Destructo Black on White Trucks- $40

Form Wheels Society 53mm Wheels- $20

Lucky ABEC 3 Bearings -$10

Random Helmet- $20

Answer 1

Well if your a begginer it would prob be best/easier to buy a premade complete. But if you wanted 2 buy the parts you should buy Tensor trucks & Spitfire Wheels instead.

Answer 2

The already built might be cheaper but if you want more customization and better parts build your own.

Answer 3

buying all parts will make you a better board you just need to make sure what your doing for buying the items like dont buy spitfire wheels or anyof those nock off wheel **** you want like a royal trucks and red bearings those last for sooo long ... deck i would go with a flip or just a cblank deck those are the same just they dont have the graphic and they are cheaper..wheels get any RIcta wheels any of those are good the shape make them last longer and just good.........here try this site

Answer 4

Check our www.skatewarehouse.com.  You can get a custom complete there for $90.  Be sure to put a Mini-Logo skateboard in it so it will total $90 instead of about $110.  Mini-Logos are just as good as any pro deck, and are probably the best blanks out.  Also, you don't really need a helmet until you get better and start going to skate parks that require you to wear helmets.  Those trucks, wheels, and bearings should be good.
