*Request* Cheap Pro Skateboard

Timans

I have recently started skating.I have heard that it is very hard to do an ollie on crappy skateboards like mine(smyth's toystore )

I would love a proper pro skateboard.i have 2 problems:

1)Money
2)don't really know where to get it.

Just to clear this up.I don't want ones from the argos catalogue or anything like a toyshop unless they are really good.

Thanks in advance.

There are 2 skate shops in Dublin, they have a fairly large stock, what kinda budget do you have ??

Timans

I don't really have a fixed budget.I have around 60€ at the moment but could save up to about 100-150€ if needed.
Is there any websites where i could look at shops, prices in ireland?

100-150 isnt gonna get you a pro deck. Well it might get you the deck, but you're gonna need trucks, wheels and a good set of bearings. G1 prolly have a website so just google their name and see what pops up.

You heard wrong, should be able to ollie on any board but more so one which is curved. Smyths ones the Bart Simpson one in particular i got for my kids, i can ollie over the front gate (kids think im frikkin awesome) not a problem the board is actually better designed than my old Dogtown. **** wheels tho.

What you really need is a set of wheels but Irelands tarmac concrete tarmac concrete roads make wheels a hard choice as some are good for one and not for another. Check out the skating forum here an ask for decent wheels, dont spend 100+ on a board if your no use on it.

rant/ God i used to ****ing hate that some fecker with a Powell Peralta board Inde trucks and speedball 3s and could barely walk with it in his nad let alone skate....
