i just got my first proper board, it cost £65 from kates skates
mini logo blank deck
poison trucks
code wheels (changing these soon as possible)

is this ok for my first board cos i dont want to spend loads and then either lose interest or destroy it straight away

Thats a pretty good setup,personally,i don't think it really matters what kind of board you get as long as it's ridable.Still a pretty good setup

im getting my first board this friday cant wait my setup is sick

flip penny iconic, rictas geoff supernaturals, tensors lo trucks, bone reds bearings.

You don't even have a skateboard yet but you still feel it's OK for you to post on this SKATEBOARD forum?? But you don't think it's OK for skaters over the age of 25 to post on here?? You are an idiot.

^seconded. i could understand about 10 posts before getting a board but 200ish??

well i skate on my friends boards. and yes someone like me who knows alot about skating should be on this board compared to someone whos in their 20s or 30s who should have a job not talking to teenagers on a message board.

i like my board alot
rick howard girl signature pro deck
bam wrecking ball bearings
venture trucks
eric koston ricta naturals

Whoever said this forum was for teenagers? It's a forum for skaters of all ages, not 16 and under. I'm not just gonna suddenly stop skating when I become old, age makes no difference.

By the way, my setup = Maple Deck, Krux 3 Mirror Trucks, Spitfire 30mm Wheels and Southstar ABEC 7 Bearings. (Must get Bones Reds ASAP)

MY FIRST BOARD -- poison deck, cost me £70 !!! piranah abec 7's, goes lk shit off a stick

why would anyone that 'knows alot about skating' get bones reds as bearings om their first setup?

have fun learning to balance is all i can say.

ive seen plenty of people telling beginners to get bones reds.

your all dumb and dont understand what im saying. im saying if your in your 20's or 30's you shouldnt be on this site talking but you can still skate.

I don't understand why you think someone past the age of 20 has anything less poignant to say than someone in their teens. In fact someone who has been skating for a lot longer than 10 minutes has more advice to give to people than someone who has just started.

WOW this will never end. im saying if your in your 20's or 30's you should have a job and responsibilities not talking on a message board.

Not to be mean but what has it got to do with you what people do in their spare time for fun and enjoyment? Be it chatting with like minded individuals on a message board or even skateboarding. Many people on here have a job yet still find the time to chat and skate.

Flip mate people just go on websites during dinner breaks at work. Also you're kinda saying that people 20+ can't get involved with the online community of skaters.

my first set up was a blueprint heartspray deck, fracture trucks, fracture bearings, stateside wheels,
also who says age matters in skateboarding, personaly id rather talk to a vetren in skateboarding then a teenager, ppl my age here just talk about bam, hawk and shitty bigheaded things instead of the love and fun of skateboarding...its like im the only sane person in kingston who likes it cus its fun not cus they want to somehow get sponsered by element and then bum bam magera...

You should be working on your school work and not wasting your time on the internet.. And what sort of a teenager isn't out with friends/ skateboarding in every spare minute? I know I was. Now I've got responsibilites I can't go out all the time so I have time to spend online.. So why don't you fuck off and stop posting on a message board full of OLD, wrinkly people who ALL skate 100x better than you.


On a brighter note.. My first pro deck was 2nd hand. No one could really afford new decks back then. It was a santa cruz Claus Grabke.. Oh those were the days.. I took my wheels and trucks off my turbo 2 and put them on my pro board. I'd got wheels made of rubber (haha) from the 70's called yellow diamonds but my trucks were still the original turbo 2 ones.. Quality set up eh?

my first pro set up was my 4th 1, because it was before i was making money so i couldnt afford a decent board for ages. flip tom penny vlad, phantom2 trucks, nmb bearings and blank wheels
