View Full Version : What Street Board would you buy???
Aos00799 06-14-2008, 05:37 PM 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.

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).

Hummer197933 06-18-2008, 11:27 PM deck, plan b 7.75, chocolate 7.8125, and a girl i have in storage for college 7.75
trucks. thunder with upgraded black/hard bushings
wheels ; bones 52
bearings ; destruco sendai, really good
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.
FullMetalSkater 06-29-2008, 06:45 AM 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.
fallen23zero 06-29-2008, 08:32 AM deck, well i love bakers but they wear down WAY too quickly. zeros are good IMO but i wear em down quick. boardpushers are amazing, my favorite board probably

Krux downlows raw
some white 53mm urethane wheels with no graphics
red bones
Skihdoosh 08-11-2008, 10:01 PM 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.
