It shouldn't matter what your shoe size is, but I like going with the smaller size length. My shoe size is a 12.5, and I think my deck size is 7.50. But like I said, its pretty much up to the rider. When choosing a deck, don't go with one of the ones that cost 50-60 dollars, just get a blank from CCS.com, it will run you around $30. The trucks I have currently are Venture, which work really nice for me, I have had the same set for about a year and a half now. Wheels, I have always had Spitfire, work really well for me. Berrings I have are Speed Demons, which are amazing, and not sure about the grip, just the grip that I ordered with the deck.

I'd agree with everything there. Except for one thing haha.

The berrings! I am a previous speed skater and I know berrings well. If you want good speed, durability, and precision, go with Reds. You can find them anywhere lol.

Now if you want speed and don't want to spend a ton get Bones Swiss 6/8 Balls. They run 45-55 usd.

If you wana go fuckin' fast get ceramic swiss 6 balls like I have, cost me 120 usd lol.

Hence why I edited it haha. Sorry my bad, for some reason this whole month I've been putting 10 instead of 12 on all my papers...

Yesh, pick me please. Haha, it's only this month though, next month I will be fine again and back on schedule, for now this month is 10.

 

[CodyX36]

Thats what I hate about New Years, is going from writing 07 to 08 on my papers. It always happens, and probably happens to 90% of people in the world. Takes me about a month to get used to it, heh.

Seriously, no matter what people tell you, in the end a skateboard is wood. It doesn't matter what board you get. Just get a local shop one or something to save money. As long as its pressed and treated wood with a coat of fiber glass of it, I wouldn't worry about what type of board you get. Trucks can matter sometimes depending on the height of the king pin. But I'd still just get ventures or somthing because of the price. Bearings are just about all the same. And especialy grip. Its all sand paper. Believe me. When you go shopping for a skateobard, be a bargin shopper. Trust me I know.

 

[Jopeto]

Hmm brand doesnt really matter, just make sure its from
a SKATE shop. Im size 10 feet and i ride 7.75-8.


Trucks - Indies
Wheels - Doesnt really matter, any over $30 AUS money (dont know your currency)

Nahh minilogo are alright, dont blame it on your deck haha..

(oh btw, reds bearings are the best ever)

 

[stankinrange]

It depends on what your comfortable, for your shoe size, id say 7.5-7.63, thatd be the best way to go, but if you want higher tricks and more landing space go with a 7.75-8

 

[Doombringe1]

Mystery deck size medium, bearings A Vec 13's or Bone Reds. Trucks dont matter as much

 

[Billyy]

I have black diamond griptape, and it's amazing. I also have an enjoi, but I agree with the people above me, just get a blank to save money and get better bearings, trucks, wheels, etc.
