Beginners, look here!

These new Z-flex 76 longboards that we've gotten in recently are pure gold for new riders. While the components certainly don't compare with a more advanced setup they're great for finding the style of riding you want to get into so you're not wasting money on a setup that you're not interested in later down the road. Another awesome thing, is that while these components are going to last the life of the board, will give you something to work with when you're wanting to upgrade your trucks, wheels, and bearings. I feel at least in skating, starting from the bottom and working your way up as time goes on makes you more appreciative and more aware of how all of these parts function. This again, leads to less money spent from getting something that doesn't compliment your riding style later down the road. Although they're generic looking (which is kind of a bummer) there's really no better place to start, except with of course a $300 board that you may or may not even want.
