Ventures provide stability, Indys are a bit more carvy and Thunder is a good choice for street skating. The basic version is Available on SkateXS (sponsored link) in many colors, you can even personalize this board and add a name! Arbor Pilsner Cruiser If you don’t want to assemble a skateboard yourself there are a few decent options out there. Buying a pre-assembled skateboard might seem easy, but a good complete skateboard is hard to distinguish.
I skated transition on Thunders for years before I moved on to Independent but don’t have any preference.Here a are examples of different skateboard setups for different styles: All-Around Beginner Skateboard Setup You can adjust the setup to your liking and swap the wheels for Bones or Spitfire once you progress. You also won’t have any trouble skating street and parks with this setup. Birdhouse offers the highest quality parts where Santa Cruz is right in between. I also included the Tony Hawk Signature Series which is a very cheap skateboard that isn’t great but also not terrible.
If they’re too tall you could shorten them, but it will leave sharp edges, don’t do that. Custom Skateboard and Styles Suggestions Buying a complete is a good option for beginners. Many skateboarders started on a complete skateboard before upgrading. Why you should buy this electric skateboard:Your skate sessions can find you anywhere, from uneven pavement to off-roading through your local park.The wheels are not too hard and not too soft, 100a to be specific, which means they can be used on the street and in parks but not for cruising. The skateboard brands mentioned here ( Arbor, CCS, Santa Cruz (NHS), Birdhouse, etc) offer both high and low quality skateboards, but a few skateboards really stand out. This is the top end of the Tony Hawk Signature Series Skateboards. All components of this setup are upgraded to the highest quality of the series. This setup works well in skate parks for a more advanced beginner/early intermediate skater. Some tape will come off because of poor quality so don’t go shopping for fancy stuff unless you don’t mind replacing it when it peels off.
Over the years I have tested about 40 skateboards and close to 20 cruiser skateboards. Many of the complete skateboards are exactly the same and have flaws, few are the best. Though the Swagtron Swagskate NG3 may not have as many fancy features or extra bits like other options, it is the safest on the market. Kids can experience fun while remaining safe which puts parent’s fears to rest. There are other costs involved if you include gear. I summed up all the costs of skateboarding you might not think about at first. What Size Skateboard Should I get? It comes in different sizes starting at 7.0″ wide, anything up to 7.5″ wide is for kids under 10, 7.75″ to 8.25″ is great for technical skaters but you could go for an even wider board if you want more stability.

We strongly recommend using a 'signed-for service' with the Royal Mail, Parcel Force or a Courier Service. Make sure to clean them 2x a year to get the most out of them.

It won’t be long until you have to upgrade parts and you’ll end up paying more in the end. Skateboard Parts Explained
The Best Skateboards
The cheapest we bought and recommend is the CCS complete which is a great starter skateboard for skate parks. Bones bearings and Bronson are excellent bearings and come in different price ranges but the cheaper version are the best choice. Their complete offers a pretty solid components, and a very forgiving ride. The mellow concave makes it easier to keep your balance, and beginners will appreciate the softer 90A wheels that offer extra grip and stability. Don’t worry about the length of a skateboard. Wider boards are longer and narrow skateboards are shorter, manufactures adjust the size accordingly. Skateboard, Cruiser, or Longboard?
