How would you buy the supplies to make a deck without having enough money to buy a deck?

My mom said she would buy them for me since it would keep me busy doing something other than sitting on the computer.

I'm sure you will at least have some sort of allowance since you are still schooling and stuff? It's not too hard to put aside a few dollars a day (try $3?). By a couple of weeks you should be able to afford a new deck. It sounds really cliché, but use a piggy bank if you need to.

How many times must people call for Oliver when he hasn't even posted in here yet LOL

:trollface:

Well I mean, I have a china that I put a custom graphic on at the moment.

Has a strip from the comic "Pearls before Swine" on it.

It is wood and has bearing wheels but all of the quality is kind of bad.

I guess I could just start collecting change I suppose and take it to that thing at the grocery store that exchanges change for dollars. I want to buy a pure deck.

But I've only ever used tech decks.

I never actually gave it thought to try and see if there were other fingerboard companies until just recently and I quickly found several.

So I decided it was time for an upgrade because I'm sure you all know that everything is better than a tech deck.

So I'm buying a Broken Knuckle for my first board that isn't a tech deck. Yeah yeah, I've realized a lot of people complain about the China parts and such but I think it is a really good choice for a first board.

I'm just buying a simple bamboo wood board with blue wheels and silver trucks.

I'm planning to go to a skate shop around my house sometime soon after I receive the board in the mail and maybe buying a skate decal or two (really small ones) to put on the bottom of the board so it isn't as plain.


So yeah, you think I made the right decision to buy a 15 buck board for my first one that isn't a tech deck or no?

I used solely Tech Decks for 10 years. You can do anything on a Tech Deck that you can do on a top notch board. However, the difference in board quality makes a huge difference in ease of use , consistency, etc. I'd reccommend upgrading to a wooden board for sure!

THIS. Very huge difference. Once you try it, it will blow your mind. Tricks will be easier to do/learn, etc.

I have a wooden board now.

I've had it for 2 weeks. It is a wooden china deck but it works wonders compared to a tech deck.

Tech decks are awesome! I have used them for a year, and during December I upgraded to wooden boards, bearing wheels, and foam grip. But I can still get down all my tricks on one, and their trucks grind smoothly. But now I prefer my G12 <3
