What Board

I'm looking to buy my first board and dont want to spend a fortune. After gathering a lot of opinions I decided to get the deck from http://www.skateboardexpress.com.au/longboard-decks/ and an orangatangg and randall truck package from boardshop. I was wandering what deck is the best for a cheap beginner,. (that has flexyness, quality of build, etc.)

Yes, the OMNI is a very good board for it's price. However it is downhill oriented, and you might not know if that's what you want to get into. Generally, the first board people get is a cheapish allrounder, and then see what style of riding they like and specialise after that. With that said, the OMNI is still cheap and also good.

I don't really like Vaults myself, I agree with what Scott said.

Otherwise, I have my first board and I'm thinking about selling. It isn't anything flash, and it's a cruising board, so it's pretty allround. If you're interested I could sell it to you for a low price like around $50 (plus shipping). It's a Sector 9 Padang if you wanna Google it. If you're interested I'll get it back from my mate and give you some pics.
