I'm getting the shop deck from a skate shop back home which looks rad as hell and reminds me of home. What would be a good cheap set of trucks/wheels/etc. What you are looking to do, how large you are, etc. should all be factored into your buying decisions. It might even be worth it just to go to your local shop and get a complete. I can only speak from a street skating background. I find that Ventures are the best for the price. Light, pretty cheap, and generally durable. Bearings don't really matter much to me; They're cheap enough that I can pay up the $15 or so when I bust 'em. ABEC 5 is standard, I usually go with Diamonds or Luckys. Wheels, like bearings, don't matter too much to me. 99a and 53mm, I usually just go with my local shop's. Hardware is probably the least important thing to consider but I usually go with Diamond. Grip tape is always hecka cheap so w/e on that. I wish it wasn't winter in the northeast right now. It's been surprisingly mild though and I've managed to get out a few times within the past month but I broke a kingpin in December and wasn't able to get to a store until the middle of January. It snowed here this weekend though, which sucked. Apparently there's an indoor park close to me that I need to hit up soon, and my local shop has a mini-ramp in the back which loving owns but I've only hit it up twice.
