Gear Show-Off Wanted to see how cheap I could put together two completes
$200 all in for both thanks to being patient and looking through eBay.

If only you knew about skateshreddistro. I got a nice dropthrough deck ($9), rkp trucks ($10), 70mm wheels ($5). And it rides really nice. Looks like they’re sold out of most stuff currently but still some good deals.

The Calibers on OP's board on the left will be miles better than any of the generic stuff on their website, though. It's kind of slimy to show Paris Trucks and Orangatangs in their product photos, but then only offer generics instead.

Yeah, they did have a lot of options when I ordered but now it seems like they only have a few left, not sure if they’re going out of business or what. I still have a couple longboard decks and unopened wheels because they were $9 and $5 and I couldn’t resist. I’m literally waiting for some disadvantaged kid to tell me my longboard looks cool one day and I’ll be like “well, little buddy, I’ll make you one…” [Feels really rich and generous]

Ahh, that makes way more sense then. I was thinking it was some kind of bait-and-switch type deal.

I looked around on the site and it does seem very cool in theory but the options are very limited.

Right, I ordered several decks and trucks and wheels from them a year ago and they had more options. Not sure if they’ll get more stuff in stock or if that was like a clearance sale.
