Is there any point in getting a board from argos? I only was thinking about it, because its very cheap. But i dont want it to be completely crap, so does anyone know?

i learnt to ollie on an argos board

but no, there isnt really. Boards from department stores are a pile of wank. I'd invest in something cheap from Kates Skates or something

dont get the 7 pound one its wider than an ironing board! well if u r going to get a board from there id say get the 40 pund mcgill one theyre pretty good and have a decent amound of pop

Yer cos they really are the cheapest! Is Mcgil any good?


How bout this one: thinks its any good?http://www.kateskates.co.uk/shop.asp?StrDeptID=-180175617&page=SkateboardingClick here

Is it? Its meant to be a link to kates skates, but a link staright to a skateboard i was looking at.

you can learn things on an argos deck, if you have an extreme amount of patience, and dont get frustrated easily

me and my mate ad once got cheapo boards so we could skate into a swimming pool

nice.......anyway, this sound any good??
-Double kick 9-ply chinese maple deck
-Full graphic grip.
-size 31inch by 7.75 inch
-55mm x 36mm P.U cast graphic wheels.
-Abec 5 bearings
-heavy duty black trucks with polished base
Its only £32.00 from kates skates.
Do you think its worth buying?

that sounds ok, the first thing to will probbally be the deck. when that does you can get a good blank for about £30

Its stateside, that any good? Its does look quite good, better than any i have had b4 anyway!! Do oyu think Stateside is better than British Knights?????
thanks

lol im a cheap ass ok , listen and learn , mini logo invented to sell cheap graphicless boards better than most graphed boreds , local do good alround boreds if your learning (makes it easyer to learn bowl , vert and street all on the one deck) , right now to the good east end glasgow sk8ers board , me , i have a second hand bored good nick £2 all i had to do was re-grip it £5 , £7 second hand venture trucks again still good nick , and i borrowed wheels and barings of my friend , id never change this setup till it breaks

yea im a jake i live with it and dont care , sk8ing keeps me calm , learn old school not too tech and still gives you such a rush (eg a 180 bonless 180 outa da big bowl , you get some air with bonlesses )

yea emmm your deck will break first , my advice want a good board to last long get a mini logo.
