Some GREAT stores are skatewarehouse.com, zumiez.com which is also a chain store found in malls so check if you have a zumiez around you. A good skateboard can range from $89 - $200 depending which parts you get. I listed some good brands below, these are top notch equipment for medium price. If you want to make your board AWESOME instead of Bones Reds which are excellent and popular, get the Bones Ceramics which are $100 instead of about $20. Again, what is listed is probably the best you can get for spending in between $89 - $200. Deck - Zero, Blind, Almost, Element, Enjoi, Habitat, Toy Machine Bearings - Bones Reds! Great and durable for a well reasoned price! Trucks - Independent and Grind King mainly for skate parks and such, plus they are a bit heavy. I prefer Venture, Tensor, and Destructo for street skating. Wheels - Ricta and Spitfire all the way! I prefer Spitfire but they are close. The bigger the wheel the faster they go but mostly used for skate parks unless you just want a cruiser. Smaller ones are slower but better for street skating. Hardware - Shortys all the way! Grip tape - Mob or Black Magic! Risers (Optional) - Risers rise the trucks from the deck decreasing the chances of wheel bite. Not recommended for smaller sized wheels such as 50-54mm but optional for bigger ones. Risers are all the same so the brand you get doesn't matter, go for the cheaper ones. Hope I helped!
