Well, for me i would say that autobawns and/or spitfire would be the best wheels, and decks i would proably say the new Element Heliums

I heard they were decent , just go to a skate shop and stand on one, see if its your style and comfortable to stand on.

He is right. Those measurements are for something else. Bearings are standard size and should fit any skateboard wheels, provided that you have skateboard bearings and skateboard wheels. :) It's all preference.

If you're talking about the difference between a board from a good skate shop and one from Target here's the difference: Weight-the Target board and trucks will be much heavier; construction-the deck and trucks on a cheap board will break "like that" if you try any agressive manuevers, plus the berrings will wear down or fall apart quick; and, of course, it pretty much goes without saying that you will gain no respect or credibilty ridin' that cheap deck around unless you just shred it and work it like a pro. If you can skate like D. Way, Bob B. or T. Hawk then you can ride whatever you want.

Hey I gotta say no, for any style of aggressive riding a higher (36 spoke) spoke count is far superior for the difference in weight my money is on reliability stick with atom labs. trail pimps,Supra D etc. The higher spoke count also gives you a more responsive laterally stiffer wheel if you want a lighter weight and  still strong rim go with a Sunn single track and the hub of your choice, if your not worried about money go  for Criss Kings nothin wrong with droppin a few bills on a hub that will out live you.

heres my deck\n\nI really like the responce of Spitfire wheels. the trucks are up to you, whatever you do. I think mine are King Grinds or somthing. Monkeynuts for all of the hardware and a World Industries deck.\n\nIt works for me and hasnt broken...yet.\n\nMy cousins swear by Darkstar though.

Yeah basically if you're a beginner, then go to Wal-Mart or Target and get a cheap one.\n\nIf you're not, then go to a skateshop, or if none are near you, go to the mall and go to Zumiez. Decks alone will cost you about $60 and completes will cost you $100 and up.

It kind of depends on his style cuz most ppl buy decks w/ graphics that kinda fit their personality. If he rides vert. (like halfpipes & bowls at a sk8park) then I would go w/ an Alva deck  http://www.alvahardcore.com/shop/  If he rides street (stair rails, benches, curbs, bunch of flippy tricks, ect.) then go w/ Zero, Mystery, Popwar, or Black Label. I personally LOVE Element or Rookie decks. PEACE.

OK, if your neice said she wants a "Skateboard" it means she wants a "shortboard" which is a "twin-tip" style board meaning both ends are turned up for leverage to do tricks. "Longboards" are extra long (naturally) and are for cruising, generally with softer wheels to make riding slower but smoother. Girl skateboards is just a brand that is called that simply as a marketing technique, they arent necessarily for women, many male professional skaters are sponsored by them. But they make quality decks, so if your neice wants, they are a good option. Check out www.ccs.com    they are a good, reputable online shop.\nbut the best option is to go to a skate shop and tlak to someone. Dont get sucked into paying any more than 100 bucks for a complete board though!
