Depending on your level of skating you may be okay with a price point truck such as Core.  You may also like Industrials or New School.  If you are just starting out, any truck in the 12-15 price range will probably suit your needs.\n\nIf you have been skating for a while and are above the beginner skill level then you will be better off with the higher end brands.  Check out Indy, Thunder, Grind King, Venture, Royal, Krux, and Tensor.\n\nI hope this helps you out.\n\nLater\nJeff

Get your parents help\n\nhttp://www.dickssportinggoods.com/sm-skateboard-buyers-guide--bg-222934.html\n\nHere is a buyers guide from a sporting goods store. \nGet your parents help\nBuying a skateboard on line is not the best idea for your first board purchase. \nGo to a store like Target or Wal-Mart and check out there skateboards. Buying a expensive or cool skateboard will not make you a better skateboarder until you practice skateboarding. \nUse the money you saved to buy helmet, kneepads so you don't get hurt learning how to skate.

If you're talking about the difference between a board from a good skate shop and one from Target here's the difference: Weight-the Target board and trucks will be much heavier; construction-the deck and trucks on a cheap board will break "like that" if you try any agressive manuevers, plus the berrings will wear down or fall apart quick; and, of course, it pretty much goes without saying that you will gain no respect or credibilty ridin' that cheap deck around unless you just shred it and work it like a pro. If you can skate like D. Way, Bob B. or T. Hawk then you can ride whatever you want.

burton or kemper. thats all i ever use, and have been using for years. they both have some pretty mellow graphics, not super flashy. i she a beginner or advanced? fiberglass cores are nice. woodcores get waterlogged. metal edged to great turns!

I don't like the ones with hard plastic outsides.  They're just not comfortable, especially if you skate for a long time.  My favorite are inline skates.

elements new helium boards are good. i have 1  and they are better then regular boards, they give you more balance when your grinding on rails

I really like bone reds.... they are really reliable and FAST! They are really nice and if youre willing to spend alot of money then go with bone swiss's. The beat trucks I think are Grind King (GK) they are really strong and can handel any grind you can throw at them. If you dont like those phantom 2's are pretty good also. \nHappy Skateing

well if you have 150$ for begginer skates, then you are good to go bro, and as long as they are not Vert Skates then your even better. Inline road skates would be a hard choice though, since there are not so many Hyped Road Bladers out there, the best idea I can give you is look up a proffesional Road Bladder and try to get there dig on the subject, and I am sure you have already tried searching online? if not try this guy right here... http://www.lowpriceskates.com/index.asp\nthere is a 69, and a 179... so either talk your parents out of a few more dollars or start out like a true begginer and work your way up, good luck bro

I own a 303 boards boars. (i can trash it and it was't too much money but it's a good board.)\n\nI think the Element "Helium" boards are the best. They get good height, but whoa they are costy. (I would only get one if i suddenly got alot of money, i trash my boards trying tricks.)\n\nMy fave trick to do as of now is probably a shove it. Im pretty new. I'm learning how to 50-50 a rail so i'll probably like that soon too.\n\nMy fave pro skater....well my faves are\nJoey Brezinski\nKenny Anderson\nBam Margera\nTony Hawk (who dosn't like the guy)\n\nAs long as Tony Hawk dosen't break his hip...hes not too old to skate.\n\nBam...sometimes its hard to tell if hes a poser or not. I don't think he is, but sometimes i feel stupid for thinking hes so great.\n\nYea, the world needs more women skaters, and I'm one up and comming!\n\nI just started praticing the 50-50 rail slide.\n\nThe hardest....i dont know, i havent goten to the really hard ones yet. I guess....i don't know...Dropping in? Naw. They were all hard untill it clicked!\n\nI like both. Olling everything on the street, grinding all the rails i can find (with bad results sometimes) running and jumping over fences to get away from cops....ugh forget that last part. And i just started to learn how to do Vert tricks, which ones, simple ones that i feel stupid saying, but even if im just going up the ramp and down, its a rush.\n\nI guess that my fave is probably street. That's where i started, and the place where i can do the most tricks.

there is no one "best" board. so many companies are making great boards. m3, forum, burton, academy, and rome just to name a few. make sure it is a true free style board (non-directional) and is the right size for you. ask the shop for help on that one.

The kind that works best for you. The type of board that is best is totally subjective because everyone surfs differently and is built differently.

Your a Big guy like myself and I used to ride a Trucker but last year I went to a NeverSummer Legacy.NeverSummer is American made not China like 97% of boards you'll see on the slopes.I tell you man it's the best I've ever dream of,it's great for the powder,ice,and ever thing in between.I've been riding 10 years been on several boards and it's the best by far.

If you honestly can't tell the difference between boards I would go for one of those plastic boards that you can strap onto your sorels. They are about $15 at the hardware store.\n\nThis is not the time of year to be getting good cheap new gear, but try a local ski swap and try to find some used boots/bindings. Then at the end of the season get a pair of new boots 40% off. I really like burton boots/bindings. I just got a Rome deck and I'm loving it.\n\nPalmer sucks. I hope Sean Palmer burns in hell for making crappy decks.

I use to quad and jam as a kid....now I do indoor inline speed.  I have seen these and there are other versions as well.  Look on the front page of http://www.skates.com/ and you'll see the few versions of the radical skates.\n\nI've been tempted to try them but just love my speed inlines too much.  The power, the cornering, the ability to turn over 90 degrees on a dime even at full speed......no quad no matter the wheels or set up can mimic that.\n\nthere are even off road quad-inlines......freaky!!!
