ZOMBIE 05-24-2008, 10:18 PM good wood and birdhouse decks are good The Beard 05-26-2008, 02:27 PM get an 8.5" deck 149mm indies 60mm wheels the rest is whatever you want. keep your trucks looser. black label, powell, BACON BACON BACON,creature.. all good boards. (get a bacon:) www.oldschoolskaters.net ) lol mazonemayu 05-26-2008, 03:37 PM I have a 10" deck & 149mm indies & it rocks ShredTheGnar 05-26-2008, 05:29 PM Good wood is ****, don't even bother with those. Just run whatever you're comfortable on. I ride a 8" enjoi or Real with indys, bones swiss ceramics, and bones 55mm SPFs. <GeSuS-KRiST> 05-28-2008, 08:30 PM I have a 10" deck & 149mm indies & it rocks so do I except mine has 169s its hella fun mazonemayu 05-31-2008, 03:11 PM well, I wanted 169s, but they were sold out, so I got these in stead. but I'm still thinking of getting 169s in the end I just bought a smaller board as a spare & I'm sure those 149s will fit it nicely loz4 06-11-2008, 04:07 PM i find u don't particually need a good size board i do all skatboarding street freestyle and vert and i find that my 7.5 is good enough but i love my venture trucks n blueprint wheels jayadams 06-12-2008, 02:21 PM Well... I've got a 7.75" wide board, and 7.5" Destructo's, and size 14 feet, and it fits me just fine. The place where the size really matters to me is more the tech side (I can't even kickflip because I'm not stable with the 45 degree foot position). Most people say wide decks are better, vert specifically, so I'd get around 8, or 9 inches... Lance Mountains Flip deck comes at 9 inches wide, with wheels wells. Put on some Auobahns, Khiro and Bones or whatever you like riding and your set to go! |
