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 anklesOriginally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
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.

hey let's not get too offensive here or anything. and repped!
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?Originally Posted by Schugg
back when i was skating the stuff everyone always wanted wasOriginally Posted by an0therh22
- 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.Originally Posted by an0therh22

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.Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ

i use to skateboard, i still do on and off. And no u cant get the bottom customized. unless u buy a blank and take it some where that does graphics...Originally Posted by an0therh22
sweet. thanks for the help guys.
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.

haha dont say that might end up with one of those flat walmart cardboard decks!Originally Posted by Kyle
