IMO just go to zumiez, build one of the 89 dollar completes, upgrade what breaks eventually

 

[RiccardoM]

A zumiez complete qould cost me about the same with shipping so i'll consider it when I can llook at the build a board thing cos i can't on my phone. Which won't type properly.

Santa Cruz is good wood, really good pop, krux are alright too, wouldnt be my first choice but cant complain for the price of the complete, the only thing i would change would be the wheels, but the oj's will do you fine to start with, then upgrade to some spitfires.

7.75 or 8 wide blank deck
thunder trucks. ive had 2 pairs without any problems
the cheapest set of 52mm wheels.
any grip
any hardware
any bearings
and risers are optional. you really dont need them.
im sure you can go to a local shop and get a decent setup with that money. just talk to an employee.

try to find a shop actually owned by skaters though or else they just wont have any idea what theyre talking about

 

[RiccardoM]

Ian, around me that will never happen. Haha. Alsoo, what do you guys think of the santa cruz I posted are there any other completes on that site for less that are good/better?

theres a really sick shop in hamtramck (detroit suburb) i go to every once in a while they have huf and other cool brands and a miniramp in the back also its across from this polish foods store that has really good perogies
and there is also like 3 or 4 5-20 minute distance shops so i'm pretty lucky

 

[Grant Schofield]

There's literally only 2 in all of North Carolina, and we didn't get them till like 2 years ago.

We do have a CCS store though, which is cool.

lol, I went to a lock-in with some skater friends and this one dude who's throwing down kick flip backside board slides and crooks across a 20 ft box rides wheels that are literally as big as a quarter almost all the way down to his bearings its ridiculous.
