Personally, I hate mini cruisers and I'd never pay that much for one. I have one and you pretty much have to ride bolts (aka with your feet on top of the trucks). It's easy to slip out since your feet have less room to stand, and you can forget about popping the board easily. I should've listened to this sub and not got one, but I got a great deal on it so I'm not bugging.
I have several boards right now. A mini cruiser, an 8.3 cruiser, a park board, a hybrid board, and a longboard. I learned forever ago on a cheap Wal-Mart board. The larger boards are definitely easier to skate, and I've been practicing my switch skating on my longboard since it is much more forgiving.
That being said, I think you should've gotten a "normal board". Muscle memory has a lot to do with how comfortable you are on the board. Yea, a longboard will provide more stability (and the inverse is true), but it's not necessarily going to make you a better skater. You should consider getting a 7.75-8.5 popsicle or cruiser build depending on what your expectations are.
Okay, here is a post where I explained what to look for and why: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewSkaters/comments/51rmtk/setup_check_again_im_sorry_just_want_to_make_sure/d7eah52?st=isujm8ct&sh=8bb27ef2
I hope that helps! I also didn't like the blue, but it was the best I could find on that site. I can poke around on Amazon as well and will get back to you if I see anything. The most popular wheel on this subreddit right now are the 92a 55mm Ricta Clouds, but they seem to be very expensive in Europe.
These are my favorite wheels in 56mm: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spitfire-Formula-Classic-Skateboard-Wheels/dp/B00J7T0SSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473351119&sr=8-1&keywords=spitfire%2Bformula%2Bfour&psc=1
The 56mm makes up a bit for the hardness, but they are slightly harsh for some of the newer skaters.
They do make some slightly softer ones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spitfire-Formula-Wheels-Classic-Skateboard/dp/B00J7T0N16/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473351119&sr=8-2&keywords=spitfire%2Bformula%2Bfour&psc=1
This is the best I could find for Ricta Clouds from the sites you mentioned: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ricta-Clouds-Skateboard-Wheels-White/dp/B01J9RQ0LC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473351053&sr=8-3&keywords=ricta+clouds+54mm
I can't see the website you linked right now because I'm at work and we don't have filters. I'm not familiar with the Currency rate, but if i recall correctly it's almost double the USD right? So 100 pounds sounds like a 200$ american board. You probably don't need to spend that much. But I don't know the currency rate.
I don't know if you guys can order from Zumiez http://www.zumiez.com/build-your-own-skateboard/ You must have something similar in Europe if not. But check out that link and build one of the $99.99. You really should go for the $119.99 But I know how appealing saving money is to you. And a representative did tell me that some of their $39.99 boards are actually pretty comparable to the 49.99 ones.
Most skaters will say not to buy from a Corporation like Zumiez and say to support your local shop, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Seriously, they best advice someone gave you was to just go to your local shop, tell the guy you want a decent quality board but are looking for savings. They'll show you what you can get for the prices your looking for. But most likely that means spending AT LEAST $100 USD, and probably more. Also, if your looking for savings you should stop looking online where you're going to have to pay shipping. Just go check out your local shop.
Anybody have input on these complete setups for him? I know their good board companies... But for so cheap there must be some catch... Is it the Trucks/wheels/ETC?

I like this set a lot. They're comfortable and still offer a good amount of room. (Also not bad on the wallet)

Sorry wish I knew more about helmets, I think I bought mine from a sports store. I'll leave that topic up to the other newskaters :)
for 60 bucks prebuilt completes are you best bet. A custom board is better. Prebuilts use cheaper everything to keep the price down. The quality isn't terrible depending on the brand. Just stick to brand with a rep and track record.
like this one is is 65
Almost
or this cliche 7.8
facebook marketplace is also good atleast where i live
No promises on that, but I will try to find something that will help you more. :D

And some protec wristguards, which seems also to be fine, I guess ( I have a helmet from pro tec and its doing a great job so far)

It’s preference I wear 10.5 and I use a 8.25” board. It depends on what you wanna skate for street and technical skating use 7.5-8, for bowl only use 8.5-9, and for both use 8-8.75. For something good on Amazon I’d say your best bet for all around skating is:Powell Peralta has good cheap skate boards or this Flight deck known to be almost indestructible
Yeah I honestly figured it was one of those "sales" another redditor in this thread recommended me to look at Powell Peralta on Amazon and I found a pretty nice looking board. What do you think of this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IZH0DXY/ref=twister_B00LGXT8UI?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
keep in mind the amazon price is from TGM skateboards.. which is a shop in michigan
so they are paying the equivalent of around $36 US here is a pair indy 139s on amazon from TGM for $35 with free shipping in the US now keep in mind the UK amazon listing is not free shipping it's £12... this brings the price above $52US and then chances are they may need to pay import tax after that
so for OP... since the amazon item would be shipping from a US based seller in Michigan it would be a good idea to find out if there will be any additional taxes added to the £38.87
http://socalskateshop.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=439 get something in this range and some Independent 215s with risers or some 169s, some OJ hot juice wheels some bones reds bearings. A set up like this will help you learn to cruise around and get a feel for carving you can use it as a cruiser or a pool deck when you downsize yourself and your setup. Skating is a great way to inspire yourself to lose weight, I recommend this book it helped me with a lot of bad habits and reprograming myself to live a better life. https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Mindset-Control-Thoughts-Emotions-ebook/dp/B0100Q4S7E
here's a quick list I put together for a solid custom setup.
Deck: Enjoi 8.0 (you could swap this for another deck of any quality brand.
Trucks: independent stage 11's. (note this is in a set of one, so you'll have to buy two trucks)
Wheels: Spitfire formula four's
bearings: bones reds
grip tape: mob grip
Hardware: 7/8". (personally I go to a hardware store and get them a bit cheaper)
Definitely do your research and decide what would be best for you though.
i ride a penny skateboard around and they use 59mm 78a wheels. You could get bigger wheels if you wanted, but with so many people copying penny, wheels in this size are pretty easily obtained, and about $10 cheaper than typical longboard wheels ($25 as opposed to $35)
http://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Boards-Skateboard-Wheels-Black/dp/B008Y2RN2E/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1361049014&sr=8-14&keywords=59mm+wheels&tag=side01b-20
and if you dont have bearings, you can get the stereo vinyl cruiser wheels. those come with bearings
http://www.amazon.com/Stereo-Vinyl-Cruiser-Wheels-Color/dp/B005QK7GLA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371506149&sr=8-2&keywords=stereo+vinyl+wheels
I bought this board on amazon and it's been great for me. My one issue is that the wheels are suited more for park than for street.
But I get the appeal of building a board, I wish I would have done that.
Do you think this would be okay as well? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ETERNAL-SKATEBOARD-COMPLETE-Black-Sea-Whaler-7-75-/361463160771?hash=item5428e21fc3
And then just buy http://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Boards-Skateboard-Wheels-Black/dp/B008Y2RN2E/ref=sr_1_9?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1454012918&sr=1-9&keywords=skateboard+wheels
and slap those wheels on there?
How would 59mm wheels fit on a board that comes with 52mm wheels?
Thanks! That was very helpful. Would these be fine?
Because it seems like it's been mentioned quite a few times in this thread, here is a link to a set of adult knee, elbow and wrist pads that will only set you back $22: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GG7AYLG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VTXEAbWP9VN4P
This was a must for me learning how to skate transition and these have been great so far.
Trucks, wheels bearings $52.95 - lifetime warrenty
https://www.amazon.com/Independent-Skateboard-Trucks-Wheels-Beari/dp/B002R6SAFW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=independant+trucks&qid=1564774076&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Customskateboards.com - deck $30 shipping included +$3 for griptape, if you get more it's $17 more per board including shipping. I weigh 180 lbs and I have yet to snap one of these boards. They are the best in the business.
I can't really recommend this board but the trucks and wheels are solid so you can replace the board after it breaks (which depending on your weight could be never). The bushings on the trucks might need replaced within a a few months or simply according to taste. Even if you put the board into the garbage right away it's not a bad price for trucks and wheels.

​
Another thing to consider is DKL griptape, it costs a little more than regular griptape but it saves you on the most expensive part of skating... shoes. You're shoes will not wear out from using this stuff so give it a look.
Here's a helmet for $17 on Amazon. I got this same one to start with and it's decent. You definitely want to protect your noggin!

This is a toy machine board but the bearings suck so just get new bearings and otll be 👌 👍
Skateboard shoes should be perfect and also with whole lots of hold

what about these? 53 mm so i won't need risers and the hardness is 90a? I hope the shipping costs won't be to much
Hi! I'm also trying to learn how to skate, is this a good board for someone like me? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWCRX3M?pf_rd_p=183f5289-9dc0-416f-942e-e8f213ef368b&pf_rd_r=8XESKFMSBYD1RCGMMDYR
That's what I read- can I effectively power slide on these types of wheels?

(These are not my exact wheels- just similar to the type I have on my board)
I skated these for awhile and really liked them
