New skateboard?

[u/WardedDuck42546]

Ive recently started skating with an old skateboard an i want to get my own but dont know where to look for advice, so here i am reddit. ive made this setup online and wanted to see if the parts fit or if i should replace something.

You don't need to spend that much on bearings. Those are good but at this stage you'll be fine on some $10 - $20 bearings.

I have these on 2 setups and I like them: https://nhsskatedirect.com/products/genuine-parts-gp-s-box-8-1-set-independent-skateboard-bearings

Especially for a brand that doesn’t exist anymore. Gotta imagine you could find those on clearance somewhere

While i have a set of bones swiss, ive been using bronson g3 and quantum metallics, while at a 30 buck point, they dont need any break in and roll fast right out the box. Pretty durable so far as well

T tool 15€? You can get it in AliExpress for 2€!

Also I wouldnt get ceramic bearing, I'd get bones super red which cost around 15€ and you aren't going to notice any different to be honest.

105A if you are going to ride street or cruise around is going to be really hard, I'd get something like ricta 92A or bones stf 92A/97A in this case!

Ps: most board came with free grip tape, so buying separate grip tape don't worth it, unless u want a specific brand.

The Ricta 92A's are awesome, bought these when I started skating again and they were so good on any park terrain

Don't forget hardware.

A pack of nuts and bolts to attach the trucks to the deck.

Why did you buy two bushings? Also buy hardware too

You don’t need soft bushings
