What is your hieght/weight & shoe size?

What are your pavement conditions? How do you ride?

$100.00 doesnt normally go very far.

I would look into this:
Randal trucks alone are $40.00

pavement conditions suck mostly so i was thinking some softer wheels. and i do a lot of commute and cruiser riding but im trying to start doing downhill stuff

and i know it isnt very much for a budget... i guess i just need something cheap

If your going down the cheap mini path, a gravity ben wei would work. I'm loving mine Stoked has a complete for like $112. Ben Wei Pro Model 24" Complete

I have the Ben Wei and find it lacking in deck space.

I prefer the Muir Skates Blacks deck, its just more functional for me (if I gotta go small I like a bigger tail.)
