One thing that i would really like to learn is how to skate, do tricks and stuff but ive heard sooo many horrifically fuked up stories....

Is the danger worth the excitement??? I mean, ppl bail all the time, and some are really nasty and they give up skating. Wat r ur thoughts?
bailing is pulling away from something from fear. not hurting yourself...
your looking for stacks
and i think you should take up skating, so you spend more time doing something else rather than coming onto bored of studies...

100 bucks isn't cheap... cheap ones are the ones in big w. 30 bucks for the lot. with 100, you could get yourself a decent deck (i'm assuming you mean the main body only, not including the trucks, bearings, wheels, etc).

I think cheap blank decks cost like 80, and ones with graphics are around 140.

A $100 setup should get you a decent setup to begin with. Injury wise, wear pants..the amount of times u get hit in the shins is painful. I am only 16 and i cannot run my hand down both my shins without feeling a bruise.

dude honestly dont bother with the enjoi deck........like seriously ur deck will get ruined and the graphics will be gone real quick.....since ur starting i recommend a blank.....yeh blanks are boring and shit but theyre cheaper and the quality is practically the same. like the enjoi one is 99 while u can pick up a blank for like 60...50 if ur real lucky......did u say u saw the enjoi deck at parra......go to city beach in parra and ull see a dexter blank or hardcore blank...theyre around 60

dont bother getting the expensive shit...its not really worth it. id say get a blank and dont bother putting ur own shit on the bottom either coz its pointless.

but ye hit is up to you.....like if u really do have the money to spend on it....go ahead coz enjoi are good.....i think i know which one u want....is it the one with the panda like on the left hand side of the decl.....like not in the middle.....if it is just remember ur trucks have to be put on so like u hardly will be able to see the panda anyway...so yeh just something to think about

Graphics will become wrecked on any deck over time. No-one looks at the bottom of a deck, only if you're carrying it around.
