The Best Affordable Skateboard Setup for Beginners!

[@otakuskateboarding9617]

Good looking out by saying reds bearings is the standard I’ve been skating 15 years and reds have never failed me prematurely. Really informative vid for the new shredders to save some $

[@koskey06]

If your a TRUE BEGINNER, to where u dont even know if you will like it enough to stick to it....then I would recommend a cheap pre built that's around $50 give or take $20 dolors! Heck even one of the better walmart, target, etc skatebored is a good choice. Ride an figure out if it's something you like and want to stick with, learn the basics like just pushing and riding, ollie,etc.....and if u are hooked after a couple months go ahead and get a "better" set up. You will learn what. Matters to you and is worth paying more for and just have a better idea on what you like, like the size etc. And you can give your cheap set up away to a friend or someone who is interested in trying skating.

[@monkeman2926]

little tip if your getting a walmart or other supermarket board, make sure you replace the wheels and bearings with good one because the ones that come with it suck

[@raduadochitei2728]

get a birdhouse complete, i got one for 60 and the deck is good and trucks are fire and bearings are extremely surprisingly good but the wheels are okay. A birdhouse stage 1 is a good deal

[@Xxdirtygranny420xX]

this might be half decent but if you decide it is something for you it will quickly dawn on you you will have to buy a completely new board, ive been skating for a good 15 years by now and i can confidently say its way harder to learn on a board like that, it has no pop whatsoever and and it doesn't roll good at all. ive tried to help a few beginners and the bearings where so bad to where pumping in the halfpipe was impossible cause you would just go lower and lower

[@ladbbbass]

this really helped, I just bought a skateboard from skate warehouse and I'm waiting for it to come but I was able to figure out what I wanted for it.

[@Antisim]

getting back into skating and almost dropped 180+ on a board haha, thanks for this you just saved me $80

[@mmichalnowak]

Great video but you forgot to talk about board lengths and the wheelbase. I’d say that a good board for a beginner would be size 8 to 8.25, the length of the board being around 32 to 32.25inches and the wheelbase (distance from truck to truck) 14.25 to 14.38inches

[@mmichalnowak]

Also for concave I’d say just get a mid, I wouldn’t recommend a flat board or a super steep board if you’re a beginner

[@PHeMoX]

I would say 7.75" or 8" is a good start for pretty much all beginners. 8.25" _might_ be good, but only with the right wheelbase and trucks or a beginner will struggle with flip tricks. Once someone can kickflip or heel flip, a bigger board shouldn't take too much effort doing the same tricks on, as most tricks are 70% technique, 15% pop and 15% power anyway.

[@jodyrobertson996]

I just started last year too at age 34 now, Im loving it at skate parks. Dropping in reg and reverse. Can rock to fake and ollie. But thats it for me. But the adrenaline rush and the absolute freedom of flying is worth all the pain

[@PHeMoX]

I think the choice of deck is pretty much all up to budget and preference (or requirements, for example when you want to not break a board too easily, but are on the heavier side etc.). But I recently got two Everslick decks and love how durable they are over a normal deck. I also liked the Powell Peralta Flight deck a lot, but it razor tails too quickly to really be worth essentially double the cost ($99). It does last a _lot_ longer in terms of pop and being pretty much unbreakable (I'm just a skinny dude). It's also lightweight, which might be interesting to people who want to skate larger boards, but without the weight penalty. Honestly, in terms of concave and shape I think I like Santa Cruz and Creature boards best so far. I might try either a Revive deck next or a Mini Logo, depending on budget. I have an 8.25" blank that lacks a decent tail, so might have to upgrade that one with a new deck.

Thank you for this video! Now I know I'm getting a better quality board than just buying a complete, unfortunetly because I live in Uruguay I have to pay like 80 dollars on shipping, so I'm actually paying the same But It's just less painfull to spent that much money knowing I get to choose my own board, setting it up myself and know that I'll enjoy it more this way, plus It'll probably last longer

[@seanbrownskating]

Damn that's crazy! I'm sure you'll cherish it after paying that much. Glad I could help!

anyone know the best place to get helmets? i am new and just got my board so im nervous of eating it bad

[@Sk8kid1]

Honestly I think walmart will do you just fine, but NEVER get in the habit of letting your head get hit because your protected, even with a helmet you can get a concussion, be safe and do what you can to avoid hurting your head

Definitely subscribing love your channel! I have a longboard but I’ve always wanted to get into skateboarding. So your video was the first one I watch to try and figure out where I can get a good quality board for a lower price and u explained everything so well. Thank u for this video Update: So I took your advice on the custom boards and I put mine together using all your advice. I found a nice Jart board that was really cool. Also I noticed in custom they had packages good, great, better etc I went with their great package but I checked all the items according to everything u said in your video. And I feel confident that I’m going to love this board. It’s nice that they can assemble it for me too. My total came out to $138.93 which I feel like I would be willing to pay. thanks again
