I have always lived by the fact that you can\'t go wrong with Monkey Nuts.

How long have you been skating?  Because at first it doesnt matter what kind of trucks you have.  If you learn to do the tricks first then you can get a feel for what kind of trucks best fit your style.  I purposely didnt get my skateboard decked out because if you have zero patience, like me, and dont want to put MONTHS of practice into it, then you wont like it.

*Little skater brother typing...... NOT ME!*

Don\'t get Powel because all the plys break. Ya Grind King trucks are good, and Monkey Nuts. Get Speed Demon bearings. Get Lucky Risers. And finally Red Devil grip tape.

I would go for World Industries deck. It\'s what I currently own. And it is perfect for me.

Oh! And for the size of the deck get 7.75.:)

*End*
