Evening everyone,

So I am looking at buying a skateboard. I actually ended up finding a deck I won at a raffle about 10 years ago which is now listed on eBay for around 220USD by a few different sellers. (Was in the Garage buried)

So instead of me adding the hardware to that one and breaking it, I thought I would rather buy a not so decent one.

I skated a few times as a kid, but I am looking to get back into it and giving it a go!

I have absolutely no idea what the hell I am searching for. I know I just want a complete skateboard and would prefer to spend around $100. Please tell me if I am dreaming to get one at around that price.

I have googled, but would love some input from those who actually Skate.

Thanks:)

    I also want to buy a skateboard
    haven't skated in 5+ years and my old board has broken trucks and is crap
    where's the best one to buy one online?

    Just buy the parts from eBay or some other similar site. Most of the retail stores are dear as poison for parts.

    I’ve built a few decks for myself and others and get most of my parts from there.

      If you actually bothered to read what I wrote,
      I said I have googled it but wanted to hear from those who actually skate.

    Depends what you want to do. If you want to get started with a basic complete, you'll be able to pick up an element / blind for about $100. It won't be amazing, but it'll be a very solid start.

    Watch your deck width and concaves. You want to be around the 8 inch mark and something pretty moderate.

    Alternatively, if you just want to cruise around , have a look at cruisers/longboards. Often a smoother ride. Globe does some decent ones.

      Honestly, Just wanted to get the hang of it again.
      I will check out the element board:)

      Will also check out the longboards, hadn't really thought of that

      Thanks for the advice denz

    Any recommendations for a complete with a plastic deck? This is for a 5 year old and will initially be used "sat on". Something up to $100.
