for pools get tracker trucks,dogtown decks and wheels.
whats a pool skateboard? sorry to be rude but for a new reguler ground skateboard i would get: board: Plan B (8.0 times 32.0 or 31.5) bearings:Reds Trucks: Ventures,Royals wheels: Chocolates,Hubba,Girl
Lets see... For a good deck I'd check out Plan B, ZooYork, or Zero they're all 3 pretty good brands. For trucks u have either Silver or Independent, I think Silver is better but that's my opinion. For bearings I'd go with either Bones or FKD saw blade. For wheels Bones would be a good buy as for grip tape u can either check out mob or check out Torey Pudwill's new brand called Grizzly Grip but it just came out recently so it may be hard to find in stores!
for a pool board the new school sucks wheels are good reds bearings are cheap, reliable and long lasting or swiss labyrinth are twice as expensive, but longer lasting, smooth and only like 35bucks indy lows trucks (independent lows) are really good for air and dropping in, but you get wheel bite( wheel touches board = immediate stop) real easy thunder tricks are the BEST, no kidding, (get the black ones with a hollow king pin) GET THE THUNDERS
I assume you already have a board picked out. All my pool setups have Indy trucks (factory yellow bushings) they have great turning response. Trackers are good as well, but are less fluid in turning. Both brands have been around for 30+ years and are designed for grinding pool coping. Leave the trucks set at factory tightness, which is LOOSE. Pool skating is much more enjoyable and by far easier with loose trucks. Make sure to get the correct width trucks for the board. when in doubt, opt for a little wider. Get some risers to reduce wheel bite. As for bearings, Bones Reds are a great value. I know many riders who swear by these bearings. My favorite is Pig Swiss. They require less frequent servicing and roll faster. The wheel choice is really based on a rider's preference. The wheels on a pool board generally are 60-63 mm, as larger wheels are faster. The big choice is wheel hardness. the harder the wheel, the faster it goes; but it has less surface grip so it slides more. Softer wheels are grippier, but slower. They are also better on rough surfaces. My two favorite wheels right now are the Spitfire Jesse Lifer II 61mm 99a and the 60 mm Bullet Church Glass 95a wheels. Much of the pool skating crew rides Santa Cruz OJII or Bones SPF. I prefer the OJs for wooden ramps.
