JichelMustenJust started skateboarding a little and I am looking to get into more. I have been going with friends and just borrowing theirs when they aren't using them but I want to get my own. What would you guys look for in your first skateboard? My price range is 70-100. I would ride a mixture of rails and mini quarter pipe
Riceaight no one has really helped you so I'll give you my best shot.
for a first board it doesn't really matter what brand, so long as it's a decent skateboard brand like Chocolate, cliche, plan B, toy machine.
I would get a deck between 7.75 to 8.5. The wider the board, it's better suited for tranny skating but it's up to you. I would get an 8 if it's my first board.
Trucks-doesn't really matter, indies are considered the best but they're a bit pricey.
Bearings-just get Reds, cheap affordable good bearings
Wheels-once again doesn't really matter get something from 50mm to 55mm.
Griptape- I use grizzly, but MOB, shakejunt and other brands are still good.
The reason I'm being pretty general is because as you skate more, you'll know what you like
Just keep on upgrading your setup as get better, so that you find the set up that works best for you. If you have a good skateshop near by, hit them up as they'll definitely recommend you something that isn't trash.
Have fun!
Chubz.What's a solid cruiser board? Not looking to learn a bunch of flip tricks or hit rails or anything but something to pump tranny and just cruise around and film on. I'm thinking of maybe getting something a little wider like a 9 or some sort of long board..opinions?

wuuI second whoever said go to your local skateshop and talk to them, always find that really helpful and you get to see the whole picture.
Welcome do some nice shaped boards for just cruising around - they have a bunch of 8.75" and bigger options!

Chubz.im liking what im seeing from these oens, what about arbor? They look doope but they're pretty pricey.
Also sorry for threadjacking
JichelMustenThis is very similar to what the person at the skate shop said and is great advice, thanks!

NEPTRjust get a 9+ skateboard and throw some risers on it an a 58mm or bigger soft wheel, I wouldn't get a long bored for filming if i were you
DIRTYBUBBLEDo not buy online. DO NOT buy a skateboard from Zumiez. Buy from an actual shop.
SlushI bought both my park board and longboard on tactics.com, and I couldn't be happier. Masive selection, cheaper than a skate shop, and it's pretty fun. As long as you do your research on parts before hand, you can buy online. I have never skated before buying my longboard and still bought a board I love.
