Getting Started...

Well... it took about three months and 133 dollars, but I finally have purchased myself a longboard. The particular brand and model purchased was a Kracked Skulls M-1: check it out at http://krackedskulls.com/. As for hardware, it's not particularly sophisticated; it comes standard with Randall II 180 trucks, and the cheapest wheels available were Abec 11 70mm 70's Flashbacks. It hasn't arrived yet, however... it's looking like it will probably get here sometime next week. If only i had patience...
