So, I am a relatively new fingerboarder and the only proper deck that I have owned is the Tech Deck Expert SK8. I would like to upgrade and I will definitely get a good deck (something like a Berlin wood). However, I would like to get some information from more experienced people on what would be a good deck to buy as I will most likely not purchase another for a long time, due to finance.

Additionally, I would like to know what are some good trucks and wheels as I definitely do not want to spend loads of money by Black river, Winkler etc. My initial thinking was that I would get a 32mm Berlin wood deck and then the 32mm broken knuckle trucks and P-rep CNC lathed wheels. Again, I would like your opinions on whether this is a good idea and would be a worthwhile upgrade, or should I take a different approach.

Thank you

I have the Berlinwood setup with Prep trucks and CNC wheels. It's a good setup. I also like the Tech Deck Long Board trucks, as they are wider; but taller.  I'm actually not a fan of the new Berlinwood Low concave / Low kick decks, although tons of people are so don't take my word for it! I *prefer* high kicks. So I recommend Homewood and their new High Kick model if that is what you like.

You will find tons of great advice on this subject if you read through the forums. We have answered these kinds of questions countless times..

Berlinwood decks with China parts sounds like a good start. A Flatface deck is definitely not a bad choice either. I would recommend 32mm trucks though.

Thanks guys
