Do they use feet, inches, or etc?
Decks are measured in inches
Wheels are measured in millimeters
Trucks can be either one
I was thinking of getting an Enjoi one, becuase I like the panda ^^ Are those good? What brands do you suggest?
This is a good brand but may i suggest a plan b
What im looking for is a board that has good response to the ollie, which is better heluim of fiberlight?
i love element witch make most boards like that… but i dont really suggest you buy any of those high tech boards because i heard they break real easy
I really want to know what is the litest deck out there some people say its Element is it true?
It is true that elements new helium deck is very light, but the lightest deck on the skateboarding market is the Almost Mullen Uber light deck. Unfortunately, this deck alone is $109. There is also some less pricey light decks, like Darkstar's armor light deck, Elements fiberlight decks, and toy machines Fiberlam decks.
Hoped this help you
I got a new deck and am clueless as to what parts I need. I know need grip tape, trucks and wheels, but what else? How much will all of it cost? (I already have safety gear like a helmet, knee pads etc.)
the only other thing ya need would be bearings 4 your wheels. skate shoes aren't necessary at first but will help a lot once you get into doing tricks. For pretty good quality wheels, trucks, griptape, and bearings it'll cost you about 50-75 bucks total but u could get cheaper stuff for 25-30 bucks total. Getting good quality stuff will be good long term but cheaper stuff is fine if you are just starting and don't want to spend to much
Ex: Zero and Mystery are both in Blackbox Distribution, so does that mean that the shape and concave are the same? Ex2: Alien Workshop and Habitat are both DNA Distribution. I dont mean like buying two different companies off of a website like ccs.
Well usually there suppse to be but sumtimes there’s just a slight difference in the shape
Shit man this is all me.
The BEST kinds consist of
Alien Workshop (what i skate)
Enjoi
Chocolate
Girl
Zoo York (over skated)
Element (way over skated)
DGK
Plan B.
All in all, your looking at around $50 -$70 dollars a deck and $100 - $130 dollars a complete skateboard.
Kmart and Wal-Mart will give you $20 piece of shit boards made of fake everything. I had one and it snapped after i ollied my first set. I was pissed.
Hope i helped!

how to hang skateboard decks on your wall
We use those clear plastic mirror clips. No damage to the decks and easy on the walls. Cost about $2.50 for 4 clips
I'm looking to get a longboard for the cruising and stuff, but I already have a skateboard and I was wondering if it is possible to attach the large, soft longboard wheels onto my skateboard trucks and still have the cruising feel to it.
Yep, you will need to add some 1/2 in risers to keep from getting wheel bite. Loosen the trucks up and you should get a cruising effect, but it won't be exact
When I say "By hand", I mean hand painted or drawn onto the deck. Im looking for a way to do away with the middleman. Silk screening is good but you need a machine that will srceen print on curved surfaces.
Have a blank manufacturer silk screen them on there for you.
