    Skateboarding is bad.

    Skateboarding = punk look = emo life = self mutilation = school shooting = suicide.

    think its the other way, suicidle, school shooting, self multilazing emo punks try to skateboard to fit in. i was skateboarding for 6 years, and i was far from anything emo/punk/stoner and whatever else people stereotype skateboarders as all the time. skateboarding = bad knees, and ankles



    as for the question i know some places can do custom painting, wont be some skateboard place would be like a screen printing place. just call around to screen printing places (or other printing places) and ask them what they can do. as for boards are you getting a whole board or just the deck? either way ide just get a blank deck mini logo's are good boards and cheaper price. i used to only buy boards with graphics cause i thought the blank decks were cheap made brands, but once i switched i liked them a lot more than any other board.

    what's the difference between a deck and the whole board? the deck is without wheels right? are there any good boards that come with everything? would it be better if i bought the deck and different wheels?

    back when i was skating the stuff everyone always wanted was

    - lucky bearings - abec 7, if they have higher now get that

    - tensor trucks

    - spitfire wheels - i think it was the sizes 53mm+ is good for vert ramp skating, 53mm- street skating, its been 2 years though so not sure

    - spacers - get any 1/8 spacers, help stop pressure cracks on the deck with the trucks hardware

    - grip tape - jessup

    - deck - mini logo

    what he said, deck is just the wood part, board is the whole thing. you can buy them complete, best bet for a complete would be to goto a skateshop and just tell them what you want, if they dont have it have them recommend something, and most of the time they will build the board on the spot for you.

    common sense? all it took was facts to know it was wrong, i skated long enough to know there is nothing emo about skating. you dont see any emo kids on the xgames.

    the difference is that ppl who skate to skate treat it as a sport.

    the emo/punk/... whatever the fck you said are the posers who suck ass at skateboarding. they only ride skateboards and try to break stuff as to where the true believers in skateboarding sole intension on grinding, stairways, gaps, etc... is practice. later, Wick.

    I wouldnt worry about what brand the deck is. Just whatever really.

    Grind King Trucks

    Bones Reds bearings(some of the best bearings out there and fairly cheap too)

    Whatever risers you find will work, I used lucky.

    Check out ccs.com, it's a great site.

    i used to skateboard too lol..Your best bet is to just check out ccs.com as stated before or avtivemailorder.com. But if your getting the board customized just buy a blank (no graphics) cause their cheaper and it would be stupid to paint over one with stuff on it already. as for the other stuff like trucks, wheels etc. thats basically just preferance. theres alot to choos from.
