some people like the sabre, the wheels are decent lush come with.
Thanks for the link, I went and ordered the complete before I read these, so will have to just wait until I need to upgrade after a few weeks/months of use lol.

I guess once you start riding you will figure out what suits you better for what exactly you want to do. But if you've got the board at the price that I've seen it for advertised then it's defo a bargain anyway.
A word of warning though: new Sabre trucks (or more specifically the bushings) are very very turny! Instead of cranking the kingpin nuts right down, take some time and just carve around for an hour or so. That will wear off the mold release from the bushings and eventually give you a better feel for the trucks.

What did you pick it up for Tony?

£162.99 from our local skate shop, I've since seen them cheaper, but wanted to support our local boys, I tend to buy more from the web these days but I they have been so helpful seemed only right.

But at least they're honest and open about it, unlike some 'American' brands

I thought about one of these, hope I've made the right decision. I got myself a nice little Zapper deck to go with my Indys and Kryptonics, I can't get on with popsicle boards lol
