- 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 Although on the Rollersnakes eBay outlet they have Darkstar completes for £45, they look nice as beginner set-ups! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Darkstar-Tempest-Complete-skateboard-7-80-wide-Free-shipping-/360541551507?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Skateboarding_Skating_ET&hash=item53f1f37b93 |

| 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. |
