hey guys,
well i have been going on about a FS board to my mum and dad for a while for my birthday which is in two weeks.
they said to me what would you rather do go into town this week and buy a board and wait till your exams finish till you get it. Or just get the money.
instead im gonna get my first freestyle complete from the net as the UK has no source for them :)
which my dad is gonna order this saturday,Problem is what one should i go for? im looking one with skids and maybe side plates.
soz if im vague but im new to this FS parts thx

here is one ive been looking at. please comment and place any links or suggestions thanks.

The small size will be kind of hard to adjust to. It will feel weird, but you'll get your tricks back.

I suggest you buy either of them. Doesn't matter to me because the money's going to the same guy (and trust me, he deserves it), but I'd go for the Small School purely for the support aspect.

If I were you I'd choose the Chaos Bros. CB3. I've never ridden it but I believe it will fit you perfectly since you've skated 7.5 decks before.

The CB3 would probably be easier to get used to, but if you're making the change to a freestyle deck you might as well go the whole way no? I dunno man I'm still on the street deck.

I've been skating the CB3 and I really like it. It's a nice all round feeling board and strong. The rails are really stable in it too. I've never ridden a small school board though so I can't really compare, I just know that I really like the feeling of the CB3. I have heard people say good things about small school wheels vs. sk8kings wheels too and the small school wheels come on the CB3 also.

mmm well atm im sortof caught in the middle, the cb board has a closer size to my street deck.but the small school has a 75mm wheels which i think would like for a change.

I'd go for the cb3, the small school one is great too.
I'd skate either deck tbh, but I favor Krux trucks over trackers, for many reasons.
Id go for the cb3
