VDUB Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Been thinking of getting into skateboarding a bit. Are there any particular brand of decks you guys would recommend for a beginner? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwilli1647545487 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Go to a shop. Get a deck down from the wall, stand on it, and see how you like the way it feels. I personally only ride blanks (well I used to only ride blanks). I havent really ridden steady for sometime, but a blank like Beer City, or what not is significantly cheaper, and is still a good quality board.

AngryBMW Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I used to prefer either World Industries or like Howard said, a Beer City. I currently have a Beer City, but havent really skated in a year or so. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OhioSiGuy Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I skate on,... Deck: AWS (alien workshop) Trucks: Indy Wheels: 34.5mm spitfire Brushings: Do-Do, white(hard) Risers: Lucky Bearings: TNT (World Ind.) But it's more or less what ever you feel, i like a board with more shape, AWS, Hab. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDUB Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 any suggestions as to what to look for? just feel? what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 well wide board tend to be park boards... doing halfpipe and mini rams and stuff.... thin board are good for flip tricks more technical tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibies Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 i skate on libtech boards... their basicly slicks( not a lot of stuff to grind here waxed)... i have phantom trucks and spitfire wheels (dont know the size... that just dosnt matter...) bearings dont matter just get something that will last (Girl Gold bearings have lasted the longest for me) if you want to know the truth... if you get into skating.. your gona go through boards... when ur starting pick a board on weither u like what its got on the bottom or not... after a little wile after u get the hang of it you will realize that the cheaper boards last the same amount of time as the expensive ones and are cheaper... the important part is to get it and have fun...
