Hey, My birthday is in 16 days so my parents are looking at what they wanna get me..i also have 250 us dollars saved up that i wanna blow soon as well

i have had a mini logo for 6 years now off and on skating and now im looking at darkstar, zero or black label decks

can someone reccomend what i should get besides decks as well.
Im looking at Helmets, Wheels, Trucks, Bearings and Pads
Please Help

im thinking
Deck-Darkstar
Trucks- Destructo Bam
Wheels-Spitfires
Bearings-Reds

money is not much of a problem

Are you a vert skater? cos why do you need helmets etc. THe setup you picked is good but I'd get a black label deck instead of the zero. Heres my recommendation:

Deck: Black label
Trucks: Destructos
Wheels: Hubba, Bones STF (spitfire wear out very fast)
Bearings: Reds, but if you got enough money, get Super Swiss 6

Uhh... Why do you want to blow all your money on skate gear. You dont need helmets. If you have been skating 6 years on the same deck. Its unlikely that you will need them.

definatly get the Darkstar, try to get an armor ply or armor light as they will last long.

Reds bearings or Speed Demons which are in my opinion better than reds and the same price

Tenor trucks or krux,

Doesn't matter what wheels you get, blanks are as good as normal, but if you really want a brand name then get Darkstar wheels
