Skate1 has 7.0 completes for $65. They’re not specifically made for freestyle but they’re the right size & have minilogo trucks which Andy Anderson rides. I originally got one for my son but started using it myself once he lost interest

I used to freestyle with non-freestlye boards as a teen and they just got shredded. Idk what Waltz is but if theyre designed for freestyle and have longevity you'll save yourself money not having to replace the deck every 2 months anyway lmao

Check out this old vid from waltz Hack your skateboard for freestyle and just get a regular deck for cheaper. Maybe get a smaller size like 7.00 - 7.50 if you want like the other dude said. The biggest differences with freestyle decks are the size and shape.

What’s your budget? Decomposed Skateboards have some affordable completes that might be perfect for you.

Here’s one for $99

I’m a freestyler. The most important thing is wheels. Get some that are offset so they will cover your axles. Second is skid plates. If you already have a street deck, those will be enough to start. If you don’t have a board at all, Waltz is a great brand as well as Mode, Decomposed, and Moonshine.

It's all personal preference. No one buys completes except for brand new skaters. Generally, its Ace or Indy, Bones or Spitfire and whatever brand decks you like. The advanced level here is not by brand but by shape/woodshop.

I might age myself here but -

I always liked Element or Girl. Featherlights were fun. Most decks will generally feel the same, though. Get something that's wide enough for your feet, but thin enough that you can still flip. I'm a size 10 and usually stuck with 7.75" decks. Ask the guy behind the counter to let you see the board and stand on it.

Trucks - Tensor, super light lows. Bearings - Swiss, but probably not a big issue here. If you pay more for really nice bearings, you might not like them/be ready for them yet. Wheels - Ricta

Yall newbies focus waaaay too much on these things.

If you didn't buy it from walmart and it's 7ply (idr all the types) or more, with a concave, its 99% going to service you just fine.

Buy the brand you like/think is cool/cheap/whatever. I used to buy a lot of Girl, Almost, Baker, etc. and then started supporting my local shop buying their decks. Nowadays i just buy the cheapest shop deck my local sells, otherwise i get the cheapest blanks and sticker job the fuck out of it every time.

I wouldn't buy a complete. I'd buy the parts you want then assemble it.

im not sure but i got into skating around 2017 and started playing THPS and seeing darkstar boards that looked sick, and trying to find some and only really seeing them at walmart

lol trick board

sucks that darkstars are walmart boards now

Dope D3s

Ripped baggy jeans, D3s, and a darkstar deck. Is it 2002 again?

All the worst trends in one photo.

Yep ! Nuge ripped on that one!

Sierra went huge

Fowler, corey killed it!

The whole team!

I was just browsing their website 10 minutes ago!

Good dude- great decks! ❤️

This is rad to see. I've known Jonny for a long time. Good dude.

I herd 10 seconds of a song just now, can totally get behind it. Thanks for the new rec 😂

Manak is a good dude. He's given me advice on board building on fb groups.

For that budget you have many good freeskates available. I recommend measure your feet and check the sizing chart of each skate/model.

Some models run narrow, some run wider, and this can be decisive for getting a good fit. Particularly so when you chose the right length.

Popular mid-high freeskates in your budget are: Rollerblade Twister (narrow), Powerslide Next (narrow), FR FR1 or FR2 (wide), Flying Eagle F6 or F7 (narrow) or Micro MT Plus (narrow, I think). I am not 100% sure that FR1 is inside your budget, but more or less... Also, you can get something really decent in the 150-200$ range.

I would go for a Powerslide next skate. I like the core 80.

I bought the Flying Eagle F5S Eclipse skates recently in a sale for approx $160 delivered here in the UK and love them. They are rockerable and are pretty similar as the slightly more expensive F6s but the other /u/DaniDevil3 mentions are also meant to be great.

>Can anyone recommend me a good freestyle skate for a reasonable price?

>I am not rich at all lol, but i am looking somewhere under $300 And has good wheels where you can do powerslides, magic slides, transitions and all that easily

A point of clarification: "freestyle" generally refers to those skates that are specifically designed and optimized for freestyle slalom skating, and is a distinct class from "freeride" skates that are purpose-built for urban skating & powerblading.

The main differences are in the style and materials of the boot construction, with freeride/urban skates using thick thermoplastic/fiberglass shells, while freestyle/slalom skates using thinner thermoplastic/fiberglass or carbon-fiber layers. While this makes freestyle/slalom skates more lightweight, it also makes them less robust than the typical freeride/urban skates, as seen with this example.

Also, with pricing, it will be difficult to find a quality set of freesyle/slalom skates for $300 USD or less, while a number of upper-tier and top-tier freeride/urban skates (including the Twister Edge (both the standard model and the higher-trim Twister Edge X), Next Core (in 4x80mm, 4x90mm, and 3x100mm), FR3 & FR2 (in both 4x80mm and 3x110mm), and Uptown) can be had within that budget.

DOA, Huck knife, Rome Agent. For a bit softer you have the Ride Kink, Rome Artifact.

Also the Lobster Shifter, full camber but with some 3D in the tips so it doesn’t catch like a standard camber. I rode one most of last year it’s a great deck.

Outsiders. Process. I know they have flat at the contact. Huck knife might as well? Personally I like the free thinker for larger jumps, though tip to tail camber with distant contact points but to each their own.

Zero is softer than you're likely thinking. Haven't ridden it on snow yet but I picked up a General Public for jibbing and small park

My friend just got a capita doa, I didn’t do much research into it but it seems to check all those boxes from what he told me

Check out the rossignol jibsaw. It has camber between feet and friendly rocker points on the tips. Mid flex, easy to learn park on.

Get a Santa Cruz Winkowski, great width for surfskates. Throw some Carver CX trucks on it and call it a day!

What’s the far right one? Is it a complete from Santa Cruz or is it made from different parts?

Those three bad boys look sickkkk AF :) Enjoy the concrete wave!

That Claus is sick!

Why not 💪🏻

Try getting some remember hoots in 78 or 82a. Trust me. You will slide.

You’ll want proper grip as you learn to slide. Makes it so much easier when your feet don’t slip around when you’re trying to kick out. Clear grip looks nice for carving but is notoriously bad for actually gripping
