What size are you? I'd go with the expresses and ordinances if I were under size 13.. But if you're hardcore enough to search for the rest, go for what Ramen Radio listed.

Good luck looking for the good plates though lol, unless Steve has them in your size. BBKs will be the most common plates, along with UHF plates.

(sorry for double post)
I already bought some navy blue BBK 9/10 plates because i was guna see if i could mod some of my old skate shoes into soaps. but i duno.. it wouldnt be that hard... but i duno if that is legal...

Modding your old skate shoes??! LOL! Would've killed your feet with some maximum uncomfortability. I hope that makes sense...

Anyways, you should check out eBay's Southern Belt Shop or order from Sonicandpals if you want something cheaper and closer than the UK lol. Then when you get more hardcore and have more money, order from the UK.

The best shoe that you are going to be able to find is the ordnace. Read about them in the shoe section they are great shoes, as for plates I recommend slo-bros.

I'm all about some BBK. plane jane, durable, etc. I like my scabs, because the hard heel makes them fit better than my others.

Yeah the BBKs are a bit on the regular side. They have good lock on and all and last a long time, but I think I'd rather get the Octanes b/c of the grooves. Nice grooves :O

hells yeah. I like curb busters depending on what I'm doing. I switch plates all the time. It depends on what I'm soaping.

I've got 3 pairs of BBK, one UHF pair, some Slo-bro's and 2 sets of Maxwell's. The only plates I don't have a Curbbusters, and Octanes. I want curbbusters. I've used them, but i don't own any. I've never used octanes. I want some Prabas bad.
