I’m 14, and have a crappy board from Wal Mart. Ugh, mistake! Anyways, I’m getting better, and I need a real deck. I’m a street skater and I want to know the best setup for a skateboard. What deck, wheels, trucks bearings etc. ? And I would want the deck to have nice graphics. Help!

    it depends on what you like, but almost all decks are the same except for the graphics.
    for the deck i would get a girl, mystery, or plan B.
    the trucks would be destructos, thunders or royals.
    for the bearings and wheels, there are a lot of choices and some are expensive and some aren’t.
    look around skate sites and find something you think you’d like.
    hope i helped:)

    dont listen the the person who just answered
    they sound like a poser

    if your street, or plan on being street, which everyone is until they go to the skatepark and find out its alot more fun.

    the graphics dont really matter as long as theyre not too gay but if you want a good deck get a 7.75 chocolate, they have really nice pop and concave and they last. just dont make the mistake of getting a plan b or a blind or world industries

    for trucks; get 129 low independents, theyre hands down best trucks on the market and anyone who shreds will tell you the same thing

    wheels; get 50mm bones ditch formula or spitfire

    bearings; get reds, theyre cheap and they are quality bearings.

    hardware; it honestly doesnt matter

    deck: plan b, almost, element.
    trucks: krux trucks, royal, venture, tensor is the best!
    bearing: bones redz
    wheels: bones(STF) street tech formula
    RISERS: anything you like
    grip: mob grip, fkd grip.

    NOTE: DONT BUY ANOTHER OF THESE BRANDS THESE ARE THE BEST IN WORLD, NEVER BUY indpendent truck, or blank stuff, they are bad and wast of money..!
    I HOPE THAT HELP YOU, TRUST ME THIS IS THE BEST SETUP ASK ALL!

    ok…ive been skating for 9 yrs, so i know what im talking about…im sponsored so ive tested over 20 deck brands and many truck brands, bearings and wheels…

    DECK: Zero or Plan B

    TRUCKS: Tensor magnesiums are the most highly engineered and best quality trucks there are…if u are on a lower budget get Independant series 9

    WHEELS: for street u will want either Ricta Boltz or Bones

    STF’s…they are the best street skating wheels there are…

    BEARINGS: If ur rich…Bones Ceramic Swiss’s…if ur on a budget, Bones Reds…Bones makes the best bearings EVER…ask anyone

    HARDWARE: doesnt really matter…i usually get shortys

    RISERS: doesnt really matter

    GRIP: doesnt matter a ton…i usually get MOB
