The most affordable yet decent brand would probably be just a CCS Standard Issue Blank which can be found at ccs.com.
The best board brand would be girl no dour about it
Cheap pallets do not have a brand.
Speed demons are a cheap real brand nice an light 2 I like it better than my plan b
in my opinion zero mystery or fallen are the best brands
Girl is my favorite brand and one of the best out there
Trust me.. There really isn't too much of which skateboard brand is the best. One person might tell you that an "element" skateboard is the best there is.. And later, another person would tell you that its the worst D: If your going to get your first skateboard, look for the one that you think has the best graphics. Later on, you'll figure out which brand feels the best under your feet!
If you want a cheap blank or pro deck go to www.skatecantrell.com they have the best prices
a blank deck. cheap and efficient. mini logo, get a 7.75.
Elephant brand skateboards or Dogtown skateboards.
my favorite is plan b they seem to flick the best!
keep the deck to about 35 to 60 dollars the trucks about 25 to 30 dollars and wheels like 25 to 30 but none of it is cheap it you get a popular brand skateboard like PlanB or BirdHouse
flip is one of the best skate boards you could buy.
