Any advice gratefully received Thanks Chris The best tip i can give - buy mine Seriously though if you dont already have a board i have one lying about if your wanting to buy, depends if i can find it. Pretty decent though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 You can get a pretty good spec board for about 100. The wider the board the more stable it is, a narrower board is easier to flip. So an 8 inch board would be better for vert. A 7.5 would be better for street. Try Kates skates and route one. On both sites you can pick a deck and get a complete built around that deck on the site, so its built etc when it gets to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
