Beginners dh setup

Sooo since I just got my bf a new dh board I'm thinking of getting one for myself as well.

I still want to be able to cruise around and do some standup slides. I'm about 169cm and 52kgs.

Preferably a deck below $280?? As for trucks, I was looking at randals or bear grizzlys but I'm really not sure.

Thanks alot.

I haven't ridden crails however the fundamental geometry is the same as R2 randals at 55 deg reverse kingpin angle. This governs the lean to steer ratio.

Force R7's = Randal R2's = Tracker Fastracks = Gullwing Chargers = Holeys = Grizzlie 52S = Paris = .........(list goes on)

when u get the crails, ride em for a bit then YOU tell ME how they feel...

everyone has their own opinion to what is good. when your starting out and havent ridden anything then EVERYTHING is good... so go for the cheapest option. Just do not buy a scriber, thats all i can say...
