Not sure where you’re based but definitely support your local; Globe is an Australian megalith shoe company that has links with Almost/Tensor etc. but for the price of that setup you can get a pretty decent one. Slam City/Focus/Blast Skates/Brixton’s Baddest/Flatspot/Skateboard Café/Welcome/Native/Ideal etc. are all UK-based and would welcome your custom. I like Welcome (brand, not the shop) decks for their shapes. Worth spending a wee bit more and putting a few quid in a local business’s pocket. Avoid Route One; that’s a kite shop that just happens to sell some skateboards.
That's a great point to be fair. The deck is obviously the most expendable part of a setup.
This one from Globe had caught my eye, Tensor trucks would be decent?
Otherwise recommendations for a sensibly priced build would be great!
