Pretty much the title, I’m looking to get a skateboard and I don’t know whether I should look for a complete setup or try and buy each part separately.
I’m looking to get my first one since I mainly snowboard, and I’ve also longboarded a little.
I’m mainly looking for a way to practice and keep active during the summer, I’m out in the burbs so not really using it to get around, just to and from a local park.
Go to your local skate shop rather than zuniez or wherever else at the mall sells skateboards. Actual skate shops will be WAY more knowledgeable and helpful and won't try to up sell you shit
Buy a shop deck, they're like half the price of pro model deck and are the same thing (pretty much ALL major company decks are produced by a small number of manufacturers then they paint them for different companies)
Trucks get Indys or Thunder
Wheels get Spitfire formula 4 or Bones
Bearings get Bones Reds
This. A local skate shop is always the best way to get a great setup.
Second that recommendation on bones reds. Best bang for your buck when it comes to bearings.
