‘House’/basic no-name wheels are probably fine if they’re just trying it out for now (edit: just pay attention to hardness with an eye to where they’re skating - harder for park, a little softer and/or wider for street. Talk to the guy at your local skateshop). I second Reds or Bronsons for bearings.

The indy fanboy in me says they deserve a good set of Independent trucks, but honestly at this stage of the game the cheapest trucks you can find at the skateshop probably suffice. Pick them up a skate tool while you’re at it.

Orange. Shag. Carpet.

Yes, it’s a bitch to clean. Yes, it traps every particle of dirt that wafts into the room. Yes, to almost everyone other than me and some equally damaged enthusiasts, it looks god awful.

But if I could carpet my whole house with it without that being grounds for divorce, I’d be doing it right now. It’s the feeling between the toes, top-tier. I can’t explain it - it’s not like I grew up with it - but there’s something about orange shag specifically that screams “comfy” to me.
