help with buying a skateboard.

[ncfingers]

Hi, my name's Asraf and i'd like to get a skateboard in Jb soon, and need some pointers.

Is the skate shop in larkin bus station still there? The last time i went there was like 6 years ago. I really hope it's still there. If it isn't where can i purchase a skateboard anywhere in Jb?

I'd like to purchase a decent skateboard for flip tricks. How much would a skateboard for beginners cost there?
My budget is about 260 Ringgit.

I'd like to street skate and learn flip tricks.
Any pointers on what kind of deck should i look out for?

Sry if they're such obvious question, cuz i tried googling all night but didn't get enough info.

I'm a complete beginner and liked skateboarding ever since 6 but never got a chance to pursue it.
Go easy on me:P

Thanks loads.

yeah d skate shop still there in larkin
try to look for endsevennine skateshop, never been there before
but the stuff there are quite interesting
try here, www.endsevennine.com

or mayb u can go to n&z skateshop in plaza angsana
i used to buy a lot of stuff there when i lived in jb few years ago
good one, too

bout d boards, try to use normal size ranging from 7.5-7.75
dont reallly sure bout d concave, as long as u comfortable with it
i suggest u try mini logo, its good for beginner as it is at reasonable price
with good quality
or try our local products, theres a lot of choice
rm260 is enough for a decent beginner complete deck

well, gud luck and welcome to skateboarding
ape pn, have fun n enjoy
jgn malu2 utk bertanya
ok go!

for easy flips get a decent concave deck....what is concave? the deepness of the deck. for me la (might be differ with others) i would get brands from dwindle companies (enjoi, blind, darkstar, almost, world industries) as they have good shapes for flipping. where were u living (since u stated that u don't go to JB often)

not just concave playin the part..for flip tricks or u can say street setup..u need to get most of your setup light..not heavy..the lighter the easier to flip..
