A new skateboard and shoe
Hello everyone I am thinking about purchasing a new skateboard and need some advice. What I am looking for is a nice board that rides good and will last a long time. I would only casually skate and will not do many tricks. I was thinking about buying this:Blind Reaper Camo Combo Complete on CCS.com, plus it comes with a backpack too for only $100.00. I am not sure if size matters it is about 7.6x31.6, but i am about 5' 9" and a size 9-10.5 shoe. Also if you have any advice on good shoes that would be good. Just need some advice on this matter any feedback would be great!

No, but If you go to CCS.com it should be under complete decks. I was thinking about that or a Dark Star complete I just dont know where exactly to start I don't want to spend to much on my first board, but I want a quality one.

If you want durability don't buy a freaking blind beginner board. My Anti-Hero is solid and indestructible. I'd really recommend any Deluxe board. But CCS doesn't stock Anti-Heros. Besides, it's not like you'd ever get the board if you ordered from them anyway.

If you want something solid and inexpensive just go to your local shop and buy a shop deck or a local deck company. If your just riding around your going to want to have a nice set of trucks (indys or thunders) and wheels (bones, spitfires, etc)

dont bother buying those completes they usually come with shitty parts just go to www.blackholeboards.com and build a custom complete i can build a really nice complete for $70 if i use a blank deck and it would be so much better than what you were goona get

I try and buy fewer things, but better quality, and make sure you get one set up for the type of riding you are going to do.
