You can't get a good set up for that price..

For that price you're looking at pretty rubbish stuff..

That said, you're a beginner so it won't matter too much..

Maybe go for a world set up.. They're pretty cheap. (World is the brand name)

is this a good setup:

at £45 you really cant go wrong, cliche decks are really nice aswell

Except with postage it's nearly £60.

Where do you live william? Is there a skateshop nearby?
Spicker
i think he probably knew it was over £50 when he posted it

i live in cheltenham, there isnt really a skateshop nearby just the local argos if you know what i mean tongue.gif i believe theres a skateshop in cirencester which is kinda near.. half an hour journey in the car i would say..
HARRY.
Just get an Argos deck.

This would be fine for a beginner, my mates just bought one and its not bad. I would recommend size 7.5 and when you get better decide if you want a fatter one.

I push with my left leg and my right foot at the back on the board and then i move my left leg to the front and the right leg stays at the back when not pushing.. what is this stance??

That means your pushing mongo and your stance is regular. Try and learn to push with your right foot and keep your left foot at the front of the board. It will help you when doing tricks in the future etc.

dont listen to him biggrin.gif do what feels natural

Just because the majority of that thread advises to push normally doesn't mean you have to, as Serapth will tell you he has never found pushing mongo hinders his skating in any way.

And also, don't listen to Harry. tongue.gif
