Getting Back Into the Game

The skateboard game that is. I stopped back in like late 2001, and it seems a lot has changed. Im thinking of getting back into it because now that i have a longboard and should be able to drive soon, i'll have access to more stuff.
Im not in the skateboard cult or w/e, but i guess that would be the best place for this, so if someone can invite me that'd be awesome.

dope, and i'll send you an invite..
but I must warn you the ns skateboard cult is mostly people from ottawa who all know eachother and just talk on it casually like msn, there isnt much hate. unlike those dumb transworld/emerica message boards haha. so all im saying is you might not post in it very often seeing that you dont know any of us.

aright well could you recommend a place where i could get a lot of info on decks and stuff. it's been soo long and now looking on ccs and stuff, i'm seeing bamboo boards, resin and other crazy material which i have no idea about. i just wanna get back into the know.

You should get the Darkstar Armor Light they have a wannarty on them so you know they wont break and there made with kevlar. but get some Krux trucks with some Bones wheels and Bones reds bearings and you'll be set Skatewarehouse.com has some pretty good deals

well your bisexual and you cut yourself
but i do agree with bones bearings and wheels,
no need for a pro deck, just get a skateshop blank for like 20 bucks, theyre just as good and way cheaper, you'll fuck up the bottom of a pro deck anyway boardsliding...and royal trucks are the way to go

yea i was actually leaning towards a blank deck just to get back into things, but i used my friends little brothers board the other day, and the concave was so amazing i could honestly double kickflip like it was nothing. are their differences in concave and stuff? i know there are width differences, but what shouldi know about that. i have big feet (13-14) so would wider be better?

just get a 100 % North ammurican maple deck
and some trucks that are indy's ventures or royals and you'll be fine

Buy blanks. They are cheap and great. I used to buy like 3 at a time. I snapped a lot of boards when I was into it. I buy blanks and then spray paint them with stuff.

True dat. but ya just get a blank size 8.0 because your feet are so big. Normally blank decks have a normal concave
