Okay, let's start with the deck. Depending on how big your foot is or how much room you need, choose how wide you want it. I wear size 10's and my skateboard is a 7.75 in width. The brand of the deck is up to you. Just research different brands of decks and see what people say about them. Now on to trucks, trucks don't really matter that much. I would recommend Independent, Thunder, or Destructo. With wheels and bearings, it depends on how fast you like to go. I love going fast so I go with Bones Red bearings and 54mm wheel. If you don't like going fast then get whatever bearings and about 51 or 52mm wheels. Then pick out your griptape and hardware and then your done. Risers are optional but I always get them.
Skateboarding can be a lot of fun, but the fun you have is contingent upon the equipment that you choose. While skateboarding equipment can often be very expensive, this is not always the case and certainly is not necessary unless you are competing in tournaments. A beginner skateboarder can purchase all they need for little more than $150.
Most people choose to build their own skateboards by purchasing trucks, wheels, bearings and decks separately. While this is the preferred method for professionals, it is not recommended for beginners as it usually costs more money than buying a complete skateboard. Beginner skateboarders benefit the most from going to a skateboard shop and purchasing a complete board that is already put together. Depending upon quality, you can usually purchase a skateboard in this manner for $75-$100.
The next most important piece of skateboarding equipment to purchase is a good helmet, along with wrist guards and knee pads. Do not skimp on safety equipment, as skateboarding can be dangerous, and no one should ever skate without a helmet on. Choose safety equipment that is durable and comfortable. Remember that you will be wearing it whenever you step on your skateboard, so make sure you are comfortable in it.
Skateboarding shoes are also very important, as you do not want to skate in regular sneakers. Skateboarding shoes have special grips on their soles and are made of strong material that will not break down after repeatedly scuffing up against the griptape. Choose a strong, comfortable shoe that will stand up to long hours of skating, as it is better to spend a good amount of money on a single pair of shoes than to have to buy a new pair every few months.
Once you have these essentials, you are ready to start skating. There are of course optional pieces of equipment such as tools and lubricant, but these are not necessary in the beginning. Just be sure that you buy quality equipment and you will be sure to have a blast when skateboarding.
