Deck: Alien Workshop X-band with Black Magic griptape
Bearings: Bones Swiss or Rockin' Ron's
Trucks: Krux, Independent, or Thunder (if you get Thunders, get Hi's, not Lows)
Bushings: Bones medium
Wheels: Bones STF
Yeah. Any combination of those should make you cream yourself.
i know this is off topic but whats bad about thunder lows? i was planning on getting them. a lot of people suggest thunder hi's over lows. i just want to know why that is? >.>

well ive never skated them but if you are looking for new trucks, the best way to go is krux. its pretty standard in the skate industry and everyone knows they are good.

well the setup isn't all that great, i have to admit. the only part of it i like are the bearings which should be awesome. if you ever plan to get a new setup ask for help before you get it. it should be alright for a beginner though.....beginners are less picky and stuff. once you get really good or whatever you are going to be way more picky and be like "OMFG it haz no pop dude!" or "lolz the shape sucks". for now it should serve its purpose.

They don't have very good grind clearance, and certain bushings won't fit on them for some reason. The Hi's are almost the exact same height, except the kingpin is angled differently so it stays out of the way, and all bushings should fit on them. Plus, higher trucks are known for stability and turning. You have to be autistic to get the Lows if you know anything about the Hi's.
