What kind of Skateboard should I get?

A skatebaord is a skateboard, as long as it isn't a cheap chinamart board you'll be fine. I'll give you some sites to check out for completes which I agree is the best way to go when really first getting into skateboarding. I've used about 10 different brands of decks and never had a problem with any of them really they are all pretty much the same, the thing you're going to want is nice bearings, most completes offer abec 3 or 5 bearings because they're usally for beginners and beginners don't need to be going fast. Take care of these bearings and they'll last a long time, most people never clean them or lube them but if you do that once or twise a week they'll last a very long time no matter what bearing it is. The skateonhaight is a great place with great customer service check them out first you won't be dissapointed. Hope this helps, good luck, any questions just email me.

blankskatesupply.com has them for 55 60 65 dolars

boardpusher.com has custom decks for $50 custom by you or by other people but it might no be the best for you because its only the deck

elskateshop.com has them from $55 To $90

i hope this help and good luck

Also Olympia Sports has 10-80 boards for 30 dollars and blinds for 89.99 these are completes

Ok go to ccs.com and you can make your own complete, or they have many completes for sale that are already made for cheaper. But you can make your own complete and some brands I Reccomend are. Decks: Baker, Zoo York, Real. Trucks: Thunder, Independent, Krux. Wheels: Spitfire, Ricta, Hubba. Bearings: Bones, Speed Demon. Griptape: Black Magic, Mob.

There are countless types out there. What I did when I picked my first board out many years ago, was pick one my favorite skater used. "Pro" boards of course will cost more, but they last longer.

Some sites you can check out:

www.ccs.com

www.activemailorder.com

These are the most commonly known sites for buying boards and other items.
