I know this has probably been made before but i want to get up-to-date opinions about new (or old) street boards you would buy. Also YOU CAN state a setup like a certain board with a certain type of trucks with a certain type of wheels. This isn't cost oriented so think about what street skateboard/setup you really liked riding or that you have always wanted.

It's funny. Right now, I am skating pretty much my dream setup. Theres nothing I want to change about it, at all.


Girl Brandon Biebel
Independent Kostons
Spitfire Classics
Reds Bones



I might buy a new brand deck once and a while but this it pretty much what my first setup is besides walmart, and probably my setup for a long time (for brands, I know it won't last forever).

I currently have:

Foundation deck
Ruckus trucks
Tensor Oust bearings
Some mismatched wheels.... Started out as blanks, but some got flatspots so I got 2 borrowed ones now... I actually have a big flatspot right now on one of the original blanks too... So I should get another random wheel... The only problem with this is that the wheels have different amounts of grip. Now when I do anything with a powerslide or revert one of the wheels will stick and throw me... I think its the darkstar wheel. It also leaves dark slide marks too... The other wheels don't...


Dream set-up:

Foundation deck
Royals trucks
Tensor Oust bearings (So far. Its between this and Bones Reds... Both were great.)
I have no preference for wheels yet. I think I'll probably just get some blanks, they were great while they lasted.

I don't know why very few likes them, but for me Almost is pretty cool. Trucks: Destructo if you want undestructible trucks (thats me), Tensor if you want perfomance (I would buy them, but I have destroyed 2). I always buy generic wheels. Zero bearings, Black Label hardware.

As far as boards go, i usually stick to blanks. (i.e. minilogos, goodwood...)
just cause they're cheap, and you don't spend all the extra cash on a graphic deck that is just as good, and you don't feel so bad when you get a chip or crack.
But if i was to get a pro deck i like AWS's, and enjoi's are pretty nice too
trucks: fave trucks would be silvers, but the appleyard thunders im ridin now are pretty sick.
wheels: doesn't matter to me, just plane bones are fine to me. they are pretty good at holding up against flat spots.
and bearings: if cheap is your thing, bones reds do the trick, but if you want some good ones and can spend the extra money some bones swiss are good.
