Ok, well to start I ride mostly street w/ lots of rails, some transition(local skatepark). I'm an Intermediate skater I can do varial kickflip, sex change, pop-shovit, ect.
So, now need to decide on A few things for my next board. Which i can get May 2.
My previous board back in September(got ran over, long long story) was:
-Almost Uberlight 7.8 Silver
-Independent Stage 9 Gunmetal series 129mm lows
-Lucky Titanium bearings (so bad of bearings to start off with)
-Bones wheels
My new board theres quite a few things I'm debating on
-Almost Uberlight 7.6 Red or Foundation fiberlam.
-Destructo Magnesium mids or Tensor Magnesium Response lows
-Oust Moc 9 air... bearings.(already ordered)
-Bones Street Tech Forumula wheels 52mm or Ricta Supercyrstals 52mm red.
For my shoes i ordered some Nike Sb Tre A.D. i hope they're great shoes also.
So, if anyone can give me any advice, knowledge, suggestions, or anything helpful thats relevant I would appreciate it.

Asshole.
You're so lucky.
Also, those lucky bearings are great. Don't hate on em'.
PS: Use paint thinner as a bearing lube. The bearings will suck the first day, but the next day after you break them in, simply perfection.
Omg, that's one of the best setups imaginable.
Get the tensor magnesium response for the trucks.
Out of the 2 decks, get the uber light, but if you want the absolute best for like 15 dollars more, get a revdeck.
Shorty's hardware and black magic grip.
Get Bones STF wheels.
I would have recommended better bearings, anything in the RocknRons series (Absolute best is RocknRons Nuclear Missles Ceramics), I don't know anything about the bearings you ordered though.
Tre A.D's are probably the best or one of the best shoes out right now

krux for trucks
if your skating rails that is
and from what i have heard its not really worth it to spend the money on an uber light
if it were me i would go with an aws, or enjoi...although alot of people reping kayo corp stuff(dgk, expedition and organica)
but everything teak said
i was just putting my .2 in
stf>supercrystals

first learn to spell and type like a human
than stop hating on bones reds they are one of the best bearings out there.
great choice on the setup. id go with the uber light, the tensor trucks, and the ricta supercrystals but bones are amazing too.

My first one was a great deck. So, if you could provide something helpful that would be great. Say why you don't like it.
