stick with blank boards boards with no brands you get em at any skate shop you dont need a brand board trust me on this one. a blank board lasts long and im doin 12 stairs. it will break along with other boards but blanks have perfect weight and dementions

Out of the brands you have listed i would probably go for Sims as i have ridden one of there boards ( the fader ) before and really liked it. Ive ridden a morrow board before and hated it as it felt really stiff and heavy, but it doesent mean that its nessesarily a bad make its just that particular board didn't suit me. Out of the other companys you have mentioned i have never ridden any of there boards so its hard to give an accurate idea of which are the better ones. But M3 are quite respected and had an excellent team a few years back so they would be good, and LTD and Lemar are known for selling cheap but really good value for money boards and would be worth a try. \nSo if i were you i would go for Sims first them M3 and then probably Lemar. To be honest all these brands are ok you don't need to go for Burton like most of the people on this site think. I imagine that most of the people who rate them so highly have never ridden any other board and just like them as they are the most hyped brand. Yeah they are good but so are many other companys out there which sell boards at alot more reasonable price. Hope this helps you a bit

Northface is the best quality, but there are expensive. I have an Adidas w/ comfort strap and load spring which reduces the load wieght & has a lap top pocket and costs a fraction of the price a Northface would cost. L.L. Bean and Jansport is quite popular but I dont believe it meets the quality of a Northface.

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.

Burton, Ride, Arbor, Nitro, Rossignol, Salomon, K2, and Head are all good, higher end boards.\n\nI have a Burton and a Rossignol.

I am a figure skater. If you are looking for figure skates you should probably go to a pro shop at an ice rink and get fitted. You can get quality used boots and blades; just make sure that the leather isn't broken down. Good brand names are spteri, harlick and klingbiel. Figure skates are VERY expensive so start with used or middle quality brands.

High quality brands- Stubben, Rivel, Beval\n\nMiddle quality brands- Passier, Collegiate, Crosby, Wintec (synthetic), Kieffer, Courbette\n\nLow quality- Argentine leather...\n\nJust my opinions and best guesses-\nI have a Stubben and have loved it 20 years.

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.

Jake, I buy all of my son's boards on EBay. Most large skate shops have an EBay account and they sell either complete boards or just decks for very reasonable prices. Shipping is typically around 11.00. Good luck finding a new one.

You need to find a good skate shop in your area. You can check online but your phone book will probably serve you better. Sporting goods stores, Walmart, Shopko, Pro skate shops. Call around and then go check out what they have. Good luck.

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.

Different brands of skates fit differently.\n\nI'd go for fit first, brand second.  I'm skating on a pair of low-end Vapors and they're fine.\n\nAs with sticks, skates are a fairly personal thing, and every skate has its own characteristics.  I'm a fast skater, and my current Vapors pitch me forward just a little -- it's less good for when I'm playing D and doing a lot of backwards skating, but when I'm playing forward and really going all out to skate fast, that foot angle is great.\n\nAmong the Vapors there's difference in quality, too.  Mine were cheap and you can tell... the rivets rusted out fast, and the blade steel is low quality... it rusts fast and needs sharpening oftener than my old pair of skates.  I'm hoping to change the blades out this winter.  The rust I can live with.  Keeps my laces tight.   :D
