--best setup ever--

[MealOnWheels]

ok for my birthday im gettin around 200+ dollars so ima get the best setup i can i was thinking:

Popwar slickdrops deck
phantom 2 trucks?? (i dont know wut the best trucks are)
shortys hardware
Bones bushings
Ricta wheels? ( i dont know wut the best wheels are)
bones swiss bearings (im not gettin 80 dollar bearings.)

wut do u think i should get

[lazylife]

i like krux downlows alot, spitfire or pig wheels, bones swiss are good, but bones 6-ball is better and rons rokets are really good also

[Enjoi Panda]

Don't get Popwar!!! Get Flip, Enjoi, or Girl. Krux, Tensor, or Thunder trucks. You really don't need special bushings. Ricta is good.

[skatemystery]

dont get flip they are really heavy and they dont flip good

[EmericaSktr51]

umm get a baker and venture trucks or thunders and spitfire wheels

[ALMOSTJsk8ter]

deck:zero,habitat or popwar (i dont really like slick drops,but they are ok)
trucks:ventures or Phantom 2
wheels:rictas or pig.
bearings:bone swiss or pig

i wouldnt reccomend slick drops, thier good,but thier not as good as the normal popwas when it comes to peformance, normal popwars are freakin godly though, krux downlows or grindkings are the shit

[Hippopotamus]

SHUT UP! EVERYONE!

if youre a beginner get whatever YOU want because it doesnt matter

lol ok, im learning kickflips still is any deck good with concave and pop cus thats all i need. k im gettin krux, ricta yea, and i mite try out black panther abec 7s...

Reds are better for the money that Black Panthers. Here's from MY expierience, MY favorite stuff.

Zero Deck
Krux Downlows w/ Red Doh-Dohs
Spitfire wheels
Bones Reds bearings
Shorty's hardware
Jessup griptape

Those are the brands I prefer. Out of two Zeros, two Flips, a Baker and a shop board, I liked the American Zero 7.75" the most. Otherwise just get a blank or two. You CAN'T take my word on decks, you NEED to look at them at your shop since it's going to be your deck. Krux or Independent are my favorites. You can get socket or allen in Krux and Independents are strong and socket kingpin. Spitfire are the only wheels I've had so I can't comment there. Reds are really nice for the money. So far better than all my others even my Bones Swiss although they need to be broken in. Shorty's for hardware, well, just my brand preference. Jessup is my all-time favorite grip. Mob is shit, there are little holes and they collect dirt.

i think you should buy some random cheap trucks (hell, i have some cheap ass ones now and they skate smooth as butter.), blank wheels, red bones, jessup grip, some hardware and 5 blank decks.

you have a good setup and you can skate way longer with this then with 1 deck setup.

get destructo drucks

[Brettbags]

if money matters

habitat deck
shortys hardware
tensor mids or lows
red bones bearings
spitfire wheels
black magic tape

if money didn't matter just make the red bones ceramics.

that my opinion tho

[Lakai.Skate]

krux downlows are good and reds are as good as any bearing(the normal ones) but cheaper. i dono about decks though but wheels are the same for me

Popwars are sweet. The only thing I see wrong with what you're getting are Rictas. ALL of them just flatspot far too easily.

get what you like and what feels right to you
