Element Fibos suck,\n\ntry Blind, easy to do flip tricks on.\n\n\nDarkstar, they use to last alot longer now a days they try to hard and the boards kinda suck, but I heard alot of a good, but bad.\n\nFlip, those last for ever, so far Blinds and Flips have lasted the best for me...\n\nElements suck as to begin with...\n\n\nBut try other boards man, find one your comfortable with, and try to get one that lasts.\n\nKeep up the skateboarding

Depends on a couple of factors.\n\n1. Which has less rolling resistance. (bearings and wheels)\n2. Which happens to get a cleaner part of the street.\n3. Which is heavier.\n4. Which is more aerodynamic. (matters very little on a skateboard)\n5. Which gets the better push off the start.

Bauer and CCM for skates get either bauers or maybe vectors Vectors are nice. For stick, go for one made of fiber glass.

redz rule.i've had mine for about six months and they are still fast as heck and i haven't needed to do anything but spray a little WD40 on em. black panthers and tensor oust bearings both work really well, too. my old school deck is set up with reds and since you do any tricks on that type of deck, i use it for cruising and hills, and the redz work.

Assuming that you can ollie, start with kickflips, heelflips, frontside and backside 180's, frontside 5-0's, frontside 50-50's, frontside and backside boardslides. After you get that stuff down, you can step up to varial flips, 360 flips, frontside flips, backside flips, and maybe some some switch and nollie tricks. Just watch alot of skate videos and try to emulate what you see. You can also check out Transworld Skateboarding magazine.   They have alot of trick tips. Have fun, because that is what skateboarding is all about!\nwww.skateboarding.com

Just about anything is good enough for a beginner. There's no need to spend $150-200 on a board for someone who is just beginning. Go to your local skateshop. Most will have package deals on complete boards that are pretty generic but still a good board for a beginner.

I really think that element or zero decks give the most pop and they are preety strong. I like element and zero. It really depends about your trucks also.

Tony Hawk is probably the coolest skater alive. He's the one who invented the 900, which is one of the most difficult tricks to pull out. Besides he's what, 35 or so, and still skating...

Well, for me i would say that autobawns and/or spitfire would be the best wheels, and decks i would proably say the new Element Heliums
