Not getting much better at skating but getting a little better at photographing it.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times before, but what's a good setup to start with? I want to get into it but I don't know where to begin in terms of deck, trucks, wheels, etc. Would it be best to just buy a deck and then take it into a local skate shop and have them hook it up for me?

[Lukenstein]

I'd go to the one skateshop and buy everything at once, that way you will be sure to get trucks that are the right width for your board.

They will help you and you can stand on some different board widths.

i tried to nollie into a steep flat bank a few hours ago and i bounced of the flat bottom like a rag doll. The right side of my body is numb/aching.

go to southside skatepark. It's kind of out of the way but they have a pretty good selection of gear. As far as decks go, reserve in the heights has sick ones like palace and magenta(i think). They are 54 bux. I guess people always say you fuck up the graphics so it doesn't matter. I don't think that's necessarily true. You need a good looking deck that gets you pumped. I don't know how old you are but reserve also has clothes for older skaters like myself. I think southside gives u a deal when you get a complete. I have thunder titaniums. I like indy but these super light trucks are good for beginner skaters who don't wish to go fast and like practicing flat tricks.

I just started riding bones wheels after years of spitfires and i am in love with the v3 stf shape and compound!

[CASSAVA PIECE]

anyone ride indy 129s on an 8" deck?

[frank.]

depends on your style of skating i guess, don't do it if you like to push fast. used to ride venture 129s on 8'125 for guap reasons, switched up to indy 139s, still a bit ''undersized'' but alot less sketchy when going fast.

 the 139's would probably be better, but that's fine too if that's what you've got

speaking of indy, I got a new set like a month ago and the bushings were terrible ??

[herpsky]

just get bones hardcore du

 

*seriously, i don't know why anyone would NOT want to upgrade to bones hardcore

Edited April 13, 2014 by herpsky

[anklspr]

That's what I replaced the orange ones with and they're great. I guess I just never thought of upgrading bushings until these new trucks. The Indy bushings were super soft and mushy- pretty much unskateable.

Just got back into skateboarding after a 7 year or so absence.

I used to really like Louie Barletta, are there any new kewl kids with a similar style to look out for?

I feel like an old man.

[ninetynine]

I've blown out every set of bones bushings i've owned. That's 3 sets in six months.

 

Indy Soft is all I really use now, or the stock bushing on my ace trucks.

[Lukenstein]

[POLYGAMY]

Anyone try the Thunder Titanium Lights?

Surprisingly well, actually. I've lost some weight since then and I got a feeling flips are easier now.

I'm gonna order a full set-up as well, post a pic of yours when you get it!
