    Welcome to the 'fish. 8) I think that looks like a pretty good setup. The only thing I don't like are the wheels. They kind of drag, meaning the urethane has poor rebound characteristics and will slow you down a bit on your pushing, pumping, and carving. They may be okay for starters though. You can always replace them later.

    looks like a pretty decent set up as a beginner board, although if you want a more quality board, I would check this out:

    looks like a nice setup. there's nothing wrong w/ that TLS, but the wheels just kinda kill it. have you looked at a kracked skulls? KrackedSkulls.com

    -KS m1 46", R2 180s flipped pin swapped, abec 70mm flashbacks, mad max abec 5s, hopin to get some abec bushings soon. (i <3 this board)
    -S9 off the wall, deck only as of now. hoping for indy 169s, zig zags, and reds soon.
    -Evo deck, somewhere in the mail
    -dervish - sold
    -tactis white terror - blue crails - white jimz bushings - 78mm blast waves - bones swiss
    -zealous felon
