Basically I wanna start skating while watching some badass videos i got really motivated so yh... I want you to tell me a good complete that i will be able to do all kind of tricks ... I ain't looking for a element or something like that since I'm still a beginner ..
Also some nice youtube channels with nice skating videos..

You should buy a skateboard from a skateshop. If there's one locally, pop in and have a look.

You can also check out a few UK online retailers like SS20, Rollersnakes, etc.

A £50 Fracture complete from RouteOne should do the job.

Google; London will have loads. Also, if you're going online, try Native in Newcastle. Awesome bloke who does a HELL of a lot for the scene up here. But I'd recommend funding your own scene, not mine.

I'll just find a skate shop in london and they should be able to tell me which skate is for begginer and which not right ? Btw should I have around £60 pounds ? I don't really wanna spend more then that for a complete.. If I do a ollie i will motivate my self even more because then I'll start practising kickflip and once I do kickflip and all the shove it and basic tricks i'll then start thinking about a more PRO skate ..

I got my first setup for £60 ^_^

It was:
Exit x FSAS deck 8" (Localish store, there was one in Leeds and one in Manchester, they closed though)
Union raw trucks
Exit wheels
Southstar Abec 3 bearings

Did the job for a while, I just gradually upgraded parts happy

Although on the Rollersnakes eBay outlet they have Darkstar completes for £45, they look nice as beginner set-ups!

Skateshops off the top of my head in London are
Slam City Skates, parlour and supreme. London is packed with amazing spots too, and the skateparks are insane, especially baysixtysix as it was rebuilt recently.
My first setup was a deathwish, wish some cheap trucks and cheap wheels, think it cost like £80 in total, but if I was you i'd do what Danny suggested and get a darkstar complete, £80 is excessive (imo) for a first setup, and if you quit or decide you don't like skateboarding (which you will most likely not haha) it won't matter too much.

Use a 1/8" or whatever drillbit size that has a little indentation at the top which fits through the 1/16" hole to perfectly center the aim.. Or use one of those circular thingies that the guy in this vid uses-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJtTWpV62xM

The way to get the hole perfectly and consistently the same deepness would be by locking the drill's stop gear thingy....but not every drillpress has it. if u dont understand what im trying to tell you, skip to 5:28 of this vid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PL6llHhr-w

That's how i do everything but it might not be the simplest way.Quick Questions - Page 40 RX-DK-DIY054036_wood-drill-bits_s4x3_lg
