Looking for a semi-good condition, anyone know where I can get it?
I am looking to buy it fast as well.

I need help with Sizes, what I should ask, and stuff like that.
What's the difference with tiny wheels and big wheels anyway?

basically I know that the Wheels should spin nice and long without stopping.


edit: Tipping FG for people that help me!
<3 Also posting pics of the chick that'll ride it.

If you need a skateboard deck go to a local shop and ask for a shop deck or blank

If you need a complete your shit out of luck with 40$

Also bearings make the wheels spin.

Sizes are preference, most common in 7.5 / 7.75 / 8.0

south beach cheapest is $99

it's just for cruising/minor ollies for a chick, she ain't going to grind or anything

but I heard blank decks should cost $11-17 frmo my other friend, he was clueless on the rest though.

I'm wondering if on-line where should I look.

Trust me, spending the extra money for a decent board is worth it. You can always check Zellars/Wall Mart or maybe even Toys R Us, they usually have dirt cheap boards (I think I saw a world industries complete for like $39 in a Zellars one time, either that or I was really baked).

what's World Industries Complete?

cause I see skateboards for sale at wal mart @ 20, the wheels spin good and I myself can do a pretty high ollie on them.

world industries used to be a "legit" skateboard brand, but now that they sell it in wal-mart.... not so much

Not so sure about 11-17$ I have been skating for like 8 years and haven't seen one that cheap around here.

But if you want to buy it online I can find you a cheap setup just pm me.

for a female, if she isn't experienced on a board, get an 8. People at a skateshop will know what im saying.
Get fairly big wheels, and if you can get soft ones. These are best for riding if you dont plan on doing tricks and wearing the board out.
Get slow bearings, somewhere around abec-3's. Anymore than that and she might get sick of trying to ride her extremely fast skateboard.

Any deck will do that has at least a little concave. World Industries, Alliance, and Blanks/Shop Decks are the cheapest available.

Idk about 40 bucks, but you can get her riding with 60 for sure.
Pm me if you have any other questions. I wasted 9 years of my life skating, so I know alot about it.
