Here is what I think about the products I have used:

Independant Trucks: Really good trucks. They are a little heavy, but turn great! If you complain about their weight, you must have a problem because the weight between Indy's and the lightest trucks is less than a pound!

Alien Workshop Decks: Light, strong, nice shape! But if you care about the graphics, get the Creep Series, or Creep Series 2 because all their other graphics are stupid looking.

Spitfire Wheels: Hard wheels, and tough as nails!

Pig Speedstar Bearings: Fast, last a while, but my shields come off and I can't get them to get on, and stay on!

Randoms Hardwere: You don't need to bother with allen wrenches or screwdrivers. You hammer these in, and they are there to STAY!!!

Black Magic Grip Tape: Not too grippy, and not to slick! Just right!

Vans Shoes: Really good, comfortable shoes. I prefer the ones with a softer soul for skateing, so the bottom of your foot will not slide around a lot. GREAT for skateing in!

Those are it for now!
