if youre new to skating, a blank would be ya best bet ....ive been skatin 16 years or so, and can honestly say that i can skate a pro board or a blank board exactly the same..it just takes me a day or two to get used to the change, i dont really think theres that much of a difference (nothing that you cant get used to anyway).
but if youre new to the game , then go for a blank, maybe get a 7.6inch wide one (not too narrow, not too fat) cos whatever board u get will feel totally alien to u, but this is an average size , something good to get you used to skating..then with ya next board youll know wheterh to go wider or narrower...stick some venture trucks on that plank (cos theyre light and youll probably find it easier to learn to ollie than with some heavy trucks), and some 52mm wheels spitfires or something. (super good wheels, this size is a nice size to try first, when it comes to buyin a new set next time, youll know wheterh u want to go bigger or smaller)
youll be loviing it, why confuse things by lookin at all the diferrnt brands, gimmicks etc? this is a perfect beginners set up..i wouldnt say no!!
and as far as graphics go, scratchin em off personalises your board!!! its half the fun makin that shiny graphic scratched up...wrecked board graphics tell a story!!!
