my first setup was sold to me by Glenn about three years ago:

Tracker RTS & RTX trucks
Turner Cambria Wheels
Comet Race Narrow Deck, stiff flex

That's a perfect beginner setup. I think he asked 90 or 100 bucks for the whole deal.

For me it really came alive with stock Indy 101's. Still love them Indys.

Experiment with inexpensive bushings and wedges. I sand Sector 9 wedges to any angle I want , cost $2. Sometimes the cheapest mods are the best. Look at the how the good riders are modifying their setups and copy them!
