bit of a noob longboarding but want to get into it for the summer looking for a cruizing all round board, not a huge budget, but want to do a custom build; my plan so far, abec11 flywheel 83mm 78a, holey 173mm trucks, bones reds, and a mindless maverix dt deck, know the decks not the best but kinda run out of money, anyone got any suggestions or things to change Click for larger image Click for larger image Click for larger image

Holeys are pretty pricey. For cruising I suggest getting Paris Adam Coltons.

Get some paris 180 trucks, thats what I have and they are solid, not too expensive.

Get paris 180 for sure and you can't ever go wrong with an abec 11 zigzag. They are cheaper than flywheels and are a great all around wheel
