ride snowboards have a great Freestyle (park) boards with a lot of wide options. I am 6', 170 and size 12, i have a 159 santa cruz board (regular),  a 154 ride (reg) and a 131 nidecker (reg) for park. i tried a wide board once and hated it. i couldn't cut and carve as quick as i could with a reg board. I adjusted my bindings perfectly so i have zero toe or heel drag. they also make "risers" it lifts the binding a bit so you get no toe drag. My favorite setup i have for just freeriding is '06 santa cruz 'duo freedom' board, '06 ride SPI bindings, and '06 ride 'amp' boots\n\nLong time boarder...snowboard instructor at california resort

Bridge bolts hell yeah Its not a company name though its a product Ive got some on me 10 year old board they are the shnizle what they do is replace your screws that hold the trucks on.  Vibration from riding causes the screws to come loose well these bridge across two holes so you need four bridge bolts per board.  you can tighten the crap out of them and they wont pull through your board and also the dont get all stripped out like screws do and you never need a screw driver just a wrench.  I think I ordered the from California Cheap Skates back in the day I dont know if they still have them or not.  If you can get them you should you will love them, definately worth looking into. Good Luck   Oh yeah Grind king trucks are cool to in stead of a long bolt and nut stiking out on your king pin its reverse and uses a hex wrench they dont hank up as mush and you can grind alot faster and farther.

well there's no such thing as a pro skateboard...but what do you mean by what kind of bearings...brand or abec?  if you're talking about abec then most pro street skaters use abec-5 bearings, while vert skaters like a bit more speed. so theyll use abec-7.  abec-3,5, and 7 are the most common.  the higher the number the faster and longer the bearing will make the wheel spin, but they need cleaned often and dont last as long.  as for the brand, they will skate bearings from whichever company gives them sponsorship.\n\nmost pros do not skate element bearings, they skate whoever they're sponsored by.

There's lots of running boards out there. Make? Model? Year?

lib tech is prolly the strongest board you can get. they also have pop that lasts a very long time. they are pretty hard to snap too. i like habitats and alien workshop. plan B are also good decks.

i love almost. they have good decks for street and tech. most of their decks range from 7.5 to 7.8 in width. and their new resin 8 decks have a ton of pop and are really strong for when you hit up el toro (haha). but if you actually do a lot of gaps, then i would say zero. they are nice and wide so you can land easier and have a ton of concave.

I ride a Gravity.  Independent trucks are the way to go. I'm sure they have their own website you can checkout.

It depends... you can have cheap skateboard at 30$ at Wal-mart but you won't be able to do anything with it. The best place to buy a board is a boardshop.\n\nIf you are a beginner I suggest you to pick a last year model. That way you'll have a better board that will last you longer and give you the opportunity to make more progress compare to a year board that would be cheaper.\n\nFor the price it depend a lot. Establish your budget first and then go to the skate shop.\n\nOn www.skateboard.com you can choose you pieces one by one. The deck, wheels, trucks and bushing\n\nFor exemple, you can have a santa cruz deck for 46$\nIndependents truck for 40$\nSplitfire wheel for 24$\nBearing for 15$\n+ other stuff like bolts, grip tape, bushing for 10 $\nFor a total of 135$\n\nIt will give you an idea when you'll go to your local shop
