Mini Logo boards are cheap but they are not the best boards \nVery little pop that easilly wears down, and i dont think they even know about concave\n\nnow depending on your budget i would recomend either\na Zero if u want an all around good board, they last a long time and they look sweet \n\nNow if u need your board to last long i would go with a lip tec\nLip tec boards have fiber glass in between the layers of wood making them close to impossible to snap

Bauer and CCM for skates get either bauers or maybe vectors Vectors are nice. For stick, go for one made of fiber glass.

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.

To be honest I'm kinda out of the loop with the good skate brands these days but I've alwasy found that the guys at your local skate shop will know what's up. Talk to one of them, if they are cool they will hook you up with what you need to know. If they aren't cool and throw attitude well, they suck and go to the next shop. Good luck and have fun.

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

my favorite shoe brands are DC and eS. As for skateboards you need trucks bearings wheels bolts griptape and a deck to make a complete board... for trucks i suggest independant, they last forever... just make sure you NEVER NEVER EVER get royal trucks, just from minor skating mine snapped in lik 8 places. for bearings um, it doesnt matter too much, bones swiss are the fastest but the most expensive. wheels, anything, i get 53mm not too small, not too big but it seems people buy smaller. bolts are just screws they dont matter. griptape i ride Iron Horse, just dont get a blank brand for griptape, theyr no good.... Jesup and Black Magic are good brands too. ok and for Decks, or the actual board part, they are all basicly the same, element and zero are good, so is blind, and i guess try anything except girl, i hate those boards... some other companies i can think of are enjoi, flip, almost, darkstar, mystery, baker, alien workshop (i HEARD that these were the best)....... well for myself i ride blanks, i go through boards alot so i cant afford a $50 deck, buy from blankdecks.com, they make the best ones

redz rule.i've had mine for about six months and they are still fast as heck and i haven't needed to do anything but spray a little WD40 on em. black panthers and tensor oust bearings both work really well, too. my old school deck is set up with reds and since you do any tricks on that type of deck, i use it for cruising and hills, and the redz work.
