What is a good "cheap" setup that I can use?

I am a snowboarder that has never riden a skateboard, but wishes to for off season practice and as transportation around college (mainly flat w/ some patches of uneven terrain).

I was thinking about getting a roeracing LDP. I am not quite sure what kind of trucks or wheels I should get. Also, I am not sure what risers I should get.

Could somone give me a rundown on what I should get to set-up a board?

Thanks,
Hans

I'm almost 47, and just took up longboarding about a year ago. I love it and thought I was crazy for also liking the bike path! It's long and flat and one of my two favorite places to ride. Sure wish I knew where other east coast longboarders are, here in the Berkshires especially. Albany NY, is anyone out there?

My quiver: kracked skulls, dregs, lush, sector nine

absolutely -- depending how early you can get out, there's more chances to hit the burke or green lake most weeknights these days. the lake is a good place to learn, because with a small group no matter what pace people go at we can always catch up with each other.

i'm usually posting updates next time we're riding up on this thread on Silverfish:

Hey hows it going, I'm wondering if theres anyone who'd be willing to meet up with me and aid me in my quest of pumping. I live in Beacon hill in Seattle, and could be available any night you could offer. It'd be much help.

Hello fellow wigglers! I just got into this pumping thing a month or so ago after 5 years of boarding and what a blast! Gotta love getting stared at on the bike trails, but at least I have a few nice parking decks to practice in without being seen!

I started writing this the first time and my message ended up too long so I sent it to pavedwave@comcast.net. Wanted to leave some public love anyway so if any fellow NC scooters see this drop me a line and we'll go tear it up and learn from each other. Sharing and caring and all that.

I just heard about the Portland Pusher #8 on August 19th. Anyone know anything about this? http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=312#signup Is this only pushing or is pumping allowed as well? Or how quick people usually ride. I'm kind of just trying to judge if I want to make the trip down to Portland and attempt this, since it could affect some other plans.

p.s. I'm looking forward to getting out the for the 24 hour ride round green lake, I got a pumping set up I'm loving right now (as good of a set up I could get out of what I already had at least)

I am looking fo a recomendation on a pumping board. I cant afford the Roe, which looks like your top pick. What would your suggestion be for about 75.00 bucks? I got some c7 trucks and I can pump on them with on a sector 9 pintail,, but I have a oak wood longboard ,with regulsr longboard trucks ,that I cant pump at all. Can you pump a solid wood board I mean solid, no plys just a cut out piece of oak. Thanks Steve

Nice site! I did some 7 mile ldp on a local rail trail with my vanguard 42. Nice but had to push up some hills.

Just got some carver cx on spare 24 inch wheelbase stiff board w gumballs and it rocks. Still pushing the occasional hill, but several miles of solid pumping with no feet down. Can carve off speed like crazy on the 6 foot wide path down hills. Just need to watch out for grass clippings messing with my grip Smile

Passed many bikers and most rollerbladers. Everyone who sees it smiles. Local kids went and got their wave snakeboards. Let them try the gumballs and cx and they were blown away.
