Im somewhat of a beginner, I already own a cheap tonyhawk board and want to get new wheels and bearings because mine barely spin. I am kinda on a tight budget of around 50 dollars and Im wondering where i can buy high-quality parts for cheap (I am willing to go a little over budget). I really like bombing hills and street skating so im deff looking for something durable.
New set up. Anti-Hero Grosso "Daily Suck" 9.25x33, Eric Dressen Indy 166 Stage 4, Spitfire Conical 56mm/99a
My dad gave me his old board and I’ve been skating it for like 3 months. 8.0 with destroyer trucks and world industries wheels. It did have red hellraiser riser pads but they crumbled to bits so I took them off.
Hi everyone! Is there any sense to put on a cheap 40-50 bucks firefly skateboard trucks by independent or tensor with a new wheels? Or should i replace my deck as well?
Witch of these griptapes would be a good choice for a first “real” skateboard.
Are the more expensive too rough so it eats shoes for lunch? Is the cheap ones to plain so it doesn’t stick?
And is the board in general a good board. This far I’ve been skating on a pre built no brand from a general sport store. Planning on getting the Andy Andersson wheels and have no idea about trucks
Thankfull for all advice
1st image is the griptape I've been thinking of getting with this board! The grip is the DGK primo griptape. And the board is a sariah deck..IVE BEEN SO CONFLICTED..
I love the DGK grip a LOT and I think it'd suit the board really well, but the grip is clearly inspired by Gucci and.. I don't want to give anybody the wrong idea, I'm definitely not trying to seem like I'm balling.. BECAUSE I AINT... and like.. as much as I love it, doesn't it feel a little... Knock off'y?
Any opinions would be HELLA APPRICIATED. Would you consider it a bit weird or like corny or lame or something for somebody to use this griptape which is heavily Gucci inspired when they are broke and it's not ACTUALLY Gucci branded..?
LET ME KNOW..!
I feel like I’m going crazy because I can’t find anything about them on the internet, but does anyone remember a company called Uptrux? They tried to make a kingpin-less truck that you bought in soft, medium, of stiff. The idea was to not get hung up on grinds. I’m thinking 2004ish. They were not great. But none of my buds know what the hell im talking about. I know they existed…
How lucky did I get?
Hi im Laura and im a freehand pyrography artist from Scotland. Im working on this deck too. Just trying to get my work out there. Thanks x
I just turned 29 and have decided it’s now or never. Anything you’d change about this build before I pull the trigger?
If anyone knows more about this brand let me know and yes I know I don’t have grip tape, it’s my preference for freestyle
