Skateboarding

i am considering getting a skateboard...did a bit when i was younger. does anyone have any recommendations for a first complete setup? don't want to spend too much as i don't know if i'll get into it...

Buy mine

Cheap blank set-up will do the trick, something like this although you could probably find something a bit cheaper if you go to a skateshop outside of London.

+1 blanks (graphicless) are amazing value

I'm definately putting a tail saver on my Shut Shark set up.

I've just got back form a spin on my new 'winter cruiser' - 9" pool deck, 62mm very soft wheels, 1/2" riser pads and bones reds STUFFED with Phils waterproof grease - if they die I've just also seen 50 bearings with removable shields online for £22 so even of they only last a wet week I can bung some new ones in. That should get me through even the wettest of days...

Puddle Power Slides FTW!

I NEED New York in my life.

I got back a few weeks ago from my 3rd visit and I just felt sad - as cliche as it is there's nowhere like it - particularly to skate.

Mass Forum Emigration?!
