I got my MBS blade for 150 on craigslist, I am very happy with it, after I added some shocks, and some nuts that were missing. If you buy used, definitely chaeck everything, making sure all the bolts are tightened, before you use it. In my excitement, I didnt, and popped a very important-looking bolt out of place. Luckily all I lost was the nut, The bolt is pretty specific.

Otherwise, youre looking at a minimum of 300 bucks for a new one.

look on flea bay, 200 bucks is a down payment on a ATB.You might find somebody who is trying to sell off and upgrade.A beginner board will run at least 250 dollars.
