I want to buy a board again, but don't want to drive an hour to a shop. Any recommendations?

CCS has always done the trick

 

[JohnE]

CCS good, Skate America . com good too...

 

[Vinny A]

CCS is really good, thats where I get all my stuff from.

support your local shop man!!!!! (i only say that cuz the shop i have been going to since i was a kid is really struggling & it is a cool shop)

 

[loco-gringo]

I have been considering them. I can do a CCS blank with Indys for about $85. I may do that.

60 miles isn't really local and I will get the "old dude" snub when I go anyway.

If I had a local shop, I would go there. We haven't had one in my town for years.

F*ck Indys, Tensors are the way to go!

Oh yeah will i dont blame you then. The shop i go to has the same old guy working that was the young when i used to shop there when I was a kid. He is crazy now (prolly back then too) & never takes his walkman tape deck off.

ccs... wow that takes me back... i remember being in 6th grade drooling over their catalog 13 years ago... lol

Tell me more. I'm listening.

I never blinged a board back in the day, but green/white Tensors would look cool on a green blank.

 

[brungeman]

here is another option... Jeff is a friend, and super good guy! He has good prices as well. He was skating back in the day with me! althought it isn't local for you... his shop is for me, and it is cool to support a good dude!

I got my son's complete from tgm_skateboards on ebay for $80. It's a World Industries deck with Independent trucks and Element wheels if I recall.

But for an old man like you, you need something like this:

i got an alien workshop deck from evileds for around $30 a couple of years ago. you can get completes for $60-70

and i agree...tensor trucks are great

it's pretty much the steep and cheap for skateboarding

They are tough as hell, slide like a mofo and the little slide plate on the trucks is a nice feature. All in all they are honestly just pieces of metal that cant really be improved on. I have ridden my same tensors for 3 years now so I guess its just brand loyalty. Get what you like best though

I second blankskatesupply.com

If I could see the shapes. I was considering the med concave. They are a bit higher than CCS though.

 

[D.E.T.]

Which boards are you looking at? I thought most of their stuff was cheaper then ccs.

I was thinking of another spot. I'll see if I can find the link. All of their blanks are different shapes.

CCS was nearly as cheap as Blank, but using Tensor trucks, rather than Blank.

Here it is. blankdecks.com

Please be sure to post pics of the broken bones as they happen.

 

[D.E.T.]

As far as blank decks go, the ones from blankskatesupply seem to be of higher quality, then the ones from blankdecks. I don't know where the blankdecks ones are made, but the blanks from blankskatesupply are made locally in PA.

Stop being such a cheap ass. Buy something nice.

 

[JohnE]

Hold out for a Warptail II with some Bennet Pro trucks and Yo Yo wheels...

I am getting something with nice trucks and wheels and will get a new deck if I actually skate. I can save some change with a blank, and will support Gringo/Zorlac soon if I actually skate.

I don't think you guys understand what the thread is about. Bogey started it so it there must be a spelling error and he is really looking for an inline skate shop.

 

[loco-gringo]

hahahaha - if only you knew how lame I think inline skating is.

Bogey is a fruit booter!

I got all of this good info, yet still can't make a decision.

Stay tuned.

I had a Toy Machine demo in my hands today for $40 and backed out. I guess I'll shave my legs and ride the road bike some more.
