Buy blank. Much cheaper and almost just as good.

wow.. u cant get alot with only 100$ at max, are blanks even that cheap? or you can always buy a walmart board, which are really really bad and its impossible to do anything on becouse its so crappy.. i have a monkie skateboard and a element and zero skateboards, and i have phantom, 2 royals, and a thunder trucks ;) im also buying my friends board (used) for 120$ and its element complete set, now that is probably the cheapest if your looking for a complete set and if you actually wanna do something on it.

Hmmm,

Go to like www.skatewarehouse.com and build a board.

Read around the forum to find some good brands.

Have Fun!

You can easily get a $25 blank (including shipping), a $20 set of wheels, a $10 set of bearings and $25 trucks, making your total $80.
