it really just depends on who the skater is like me i prefer zero but others may think elements or alien workshop or any of the many others are the best
element ,Kfd, blind, almost and Evolution are all good street skating brands
I would use vans or dc shoes for street skating especially if you are wanting to get serious about it. also nike makes a good street shoe. but it is really what is comfortable with you and what you are comfortable skating in. but all these shoes have a different grip so pick the one that you really are comforable skating in.
Simply as a measurement: 8.125 is smaller than 8.25
Yes, you should get a range from 53-56mm for street.
Yes, no doubt.
no, they suck, ride a fatter board like an 8 or maybe a 7.75. It makes catching your tricks easier becsase you have a larger surface to catch.
No ive never had one but i have had friends who have and they suck.
no you can get them for 99 @ skates.com
Not really...get krooked or girl
Ice skating boots or a ply skating board
its all preferation for street a good size is 7.5 inches in width with good pop and durability an also should be light for vert and general ramp skating 8.0 inches with good pop it doesnt have to be as durable but still durable for pool skating an old school board about 10.0 inches some good brands are plan b,mini logo,powell,creature,real,alien workshop,creation,organica,enjoi,tony hawk birdhouse and alot of people skate blanks cause they r cheap
