just buy from a shop... no shipping costs, less hassle, plus your promoting them, which doesnt hurt. usually if you buy a complete they will hook you up.

If you use a site, or mail, acitve mailorder. SOOO GOOD. They have great service and help, and dont dick you like CCS will do.

Skateshops are great, and Zeros are ok decks. Actually they are really good from what I remember. Element, Blacklabel, Anti Hero, and Shorty's I found were good decks. As well as Flip. I loved Flip. Used to have to Rowley Victory UK. Tite as hell, now I got the Black Widow deck. (Blacklabel)

if your just starting buy shop blank gear its good to get you going. you never need to buy brand name boards blank decks are just as good (if your jumping down stairs and handrails) cause their cheaper and you dont feel guilty breaking them

Yeah shop complete is definatly the way to go... Don't buy boards just cuz you saw some b footage on a video game, buy borads beacause of shape concave etc. step on it in the shop, see if you liek the feeling of it regardless whose name is on the bottom, its stil a pice of wood no matter how you cut it. Just make sure ti feels right.

Happy skatting WHOOT!
