    okay i need some help with buying a skateboard, right now im working on a custom one.

    Right now i have the deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, bolts and grip tape... and want to know if i have missed anything, as there is options for risers and kingpins and i dont really know what the king pin is ^_^

    King Pin is what keeps your trucks together, the big bolt looking thing.

    This is what I would do:

    Deck: DarkStar
    Trucks: Grind King
    Wheels: Spit Fire



    Thats some of the best you can do. Darkstars are thick and arent that easy to break.

    no man you want to get a alien workshop they have the best pop i wouldnt worry about a board breaking and as for trucks get thunder trucks specifically the mark appelyards if you can find them and grip i wouldnt worry about bearing i would get bone reds but if you have the money i would swing for bone swiss's other than that you dont need risers and bolts dont matter as long as they arent allen wrenches

    sounds about right, I have heard good thngs about all of those...

    this is what I suggest:

    Deck: Flip
    Grip: w/e
    Trucks: Venture lites
    bearings: Bones Reds or Bones super six
    Wheels: anything they are all made in the same 3rd world country workshop and sold for mass profit.
