How To Choose a Skateboard

[AdamBombStudios]

Why does it recommend less then 33' but mostly show longboards?

[JAbayaaaa]

I ride a 8.0

[ps3vs360jamboy]

My budget is $40 at zummiez with a plan B deck is it possible

[mkgxcommanderx]

@ps3vs360jamboy um no maybe just the wheels but no it you want a cheap board go to ccs

[TheSkullPod]

thats one pretty big budget

[ShadowxThexReaper]

Dudes, Obliviously they weren't putting Stockers on the griptape. They were just showing the stickers to show what you could pick and what kind of sticker might fit your personality. Though, I have seen some buds of mine put Stickers on their griptape, and they shred amazingly still.. And the people who put this up wouldn't do that because they have Pro's that know what their doing.

[SuperXtraCheese]

i wouldnt put stikrs on my grip itd come off by just olliein

[TheDirtwarrior]

thumbs up if you hate expert village!

[enz0x404]

I love to skate, but I use my skateboard for purely getting around. I can do a few tricks but only like shuvits and 180s. Is that bad?

[ShadowxThexReaper]

@enz0x404 It's really up to you what you'd like to do with your skateboard. So No. It's fine for just getting around, here in Jacksonville manyt people do it just to get to the beach and surf, Haha.

[MrSkullkid49]

8.38 is da best

[Falcon2698]

No the most important thing is what board you fell comfortable on!

[HiImRussell]

[Saaderino]

[kid54316]

[nizzlefwizzle]

who sticks the stickers on the griptape ? O.o

[vizjvp]

Im 13 i wear a size ten shoe and i skate street what is a good size board for me

[mahalaha]

@vizjvp im 13 and size 8 1/2 with 8.2 baord

[mahalaha]

@mahalaha and dont get a 7 with big feet

[onecabnomad]

@vizjvp For street, you're going to want to stick with a thinner board. Considering your shoe size I would recommend something between 7.75 and 8.2 inches, keep it wider if you're going to be cruising more and thinner for better trick control.

[vizjvp]

Hey guys im 13 and I wear a size ten shoe and i want to skate street what size board should i get

[turtoise87]

quicksilver dosent make decks they make surf boards

[TheGameCast360]

[TheCruz0]

[tanlerdx]

why wast your money on stickers for the board they all scrape off anyways

[pokoio1000]

[supercooldudeman1999]

Wat's the difference between a long board and some other skateboard? I'm gonna buy one end of this month but I don't want a longboard

[2Dismalikgreen]

@supercooldudeman1999 when u go to the shop ask theyll tell you

[SOADsam7]

@supercooldudeman1999 longboards are normally bigger, have bigger wheels and the trucks are the other way round and the trucks are normally bigger and looser

[demon5491]

ya put the stickers on the grip

[marx12499]

[OBLIVIUS6]

[OBLIVIUS6]

if u press on it will say shit

[b3zy100]

whats with the longboards

[skatevans1231]

the most important thing is what the board looks like? when you choose a board you look durability,weight and if its made for park or street. not looks

[TheYoyoa]

the boards that you showed us are to long for tricks and ramps

[crystalroy]

on trucks wouldnt it have been more simple just saying:cant go wrong with indys or thunders? XD

[dustrock0725]

these people dont no jack

[snowkingVT]

why are almost all of these steps incorrect

[turtoise87]

quicksilver dosent make boards they make clothing

[81andrewg]

1:39 =faceplant

[YellowFellow97]

1:08, shorter boards are perfect for beginners,360 flip

[chaser19723]

i cant ride a flatter board i ride a steep concave kind

[stayathomekid]

why would any1 want a flat board???

[chazzle7798]

plastic?



[SkaterChu100]

Yeah. You don't put stickers on your griptape or they will ware out when you skate.

[GTK1337]

[Sk8b0ard4Life]

@freestylemusic4ever try 8" I ride them but they're a bit big for me but I'm size 11 but only 5ft6" tall I'm going to start riding 7.75 or 7.8 it's up to you

[freestylemusic4ever]

I'm 6ft tall, weigh 160 pounds, and have a size 10 in shoes. What size board should I get??? Oh yea just started skating xD

[TheGERAWRDO]

@freestylemusic4ever i weigh 110, 5'6'' and have a size 9 shoe. I ride an 8.25'' deck and skate street. most people my size usually ride 7.6'' -8'' boards. choosing a deck is all personal preference, so try a few sizes out to see which one is most comfortable.

[shawtm1]

@freestylemusic4everim 6'2 150 size 13 shoes i ride 7.75 its what youre comfortable with

[Xgirl9111]

[andriodskate]

[murcow99]

I have size 14 feet US and I have a 7.75 deck it seems to small.Can anyone tell me my right width for a new deck or should I stick to my deck. I am 5' 7' Thanks

PLEASE RESPOND

[skateallday900]

@murcow99 you should get around an 8 inch board i have a size 10 foot and i ride a 7.9

[E34FREE]

@murcow99 If your a 14feet shoe size, then for the good of your skating, grab a 7.75 or a 8.0; I recommend a 8.0, cause thats what I skate on. and since your 5'7 grab a 30-31.5 foot inc board.

hope I help a little bit.

[freeruner5]

can anybody tell me if height of a person should influence the deck size?

[E34FREE]

@freeruner5 yes it does, cause I'm 5'12, I skate on a 32.5(length) It doesn't leave my feet hanging to far off on the tail/nose as much to if I was skating on a 31in.

[killerzone107]

what is the look like, the good ready made skateboard?

[TheParadoxxReviews]

@VideoScenario so what kind of skateboard should you get?

[BramsCoop]

stickers, stickers, stickers.

[NG01Near]

[truewitness40]

[TEEVENSSNEVEET]

literally everything he said was wrong lol

[MARSHAAL101]

what's the song at the begining??

[llThatAznKidll]

hey can someone help.

im 5'1". size 9 1/2 shoe, and 12 yrs. whats better for streets-7.75 or 8.0?

[brousteen]

@llThatAznKidll 7.75, big boards are harder to flip, odds are if your asking this question you are new to skating, so start small and if you feel up for it go bigger when your more confident.

[llThatAznKidll]

@brousteen its that i started with a 7.5 about a year ago and i was a size 7 shoe.but since im a 9 now its way hard to land kickflips

[coolman3012]

@llThatAznKidll

dude im same as you but also remeber that it is personal preference, 7.75 is normally better for street but 8.0 is good for both street and transition skating(ramps, pools etc) . i like to ride 8.0 but its all up to you. hoped it helped.

[Pettzh]

@VideoScenario

First, he means flat decks are easier to ride, just going forward, not doing tricks or anything.

Second, a smaller turning radius means it's easier to turn, which is true for wider trucks.

[jayman4874]

all these boards are long boards

[skittnazzz]

@jayman4874 A longboard is still a skateboard

[dirrtysteve89]

@skittnazzz no its a wrongboard

[willdoelol]

@VideoScenario ehhh doood... i totally agree with u... but the guy said wider trucks will giv u a SMALLER turning radius... not a tighter one...

[greenday1663]

2:26 was cool

[zumiez1997]

This guy sucks,i kant do shit on my 8in. Board cu I suck Dx

[opticgaming8]

fuck what they are saying is that you need to bye many decks and find out what is best for you WTF hate Howcast

[AimanRohisham]

This guy's a dick-head. He's talking bout long bawrds. not skate -.-

[iBetherz]

They all looked like longboards...

[LorySkater97]

PLEASE WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE SONG!?? And 1 YEAR I TRY!

[zomgmage]

everyone knows decorative stickers are a cruicial aspect of board selection. HAHA

[JonathanFunny1]

u should het some from GDS skateshop in greensboro they the best

[ihavnovideos]

I've never done even an ollie on a skateboard and i want a skateboard im a size 4.5 to 5 and im like 4 ft 7 in wat width board should i get?

[SoHCi4L]

@ihavnovideos never listen 2 anyone about that you need 2 try diffrent sizes 2 see wat you like the best ask someone at a skate shop if you can stand on some boards 2 try them out.

[wecca1]

wtf nothing about bearings!?!?!?

[MrAdrianskate]

dont watch this watch a real skater teaching you

[72retaks]

wtf? the flatter the board the easier?

[YoungSteezySkaterz]

oh ya try lots of boards

[slugdiesuper]

bearings ?



[thefearlessT]

@VideoScenario you seem to know a lot about skateboards, would you mind telling me what would be good for a beginning skater?

[sk8Etnies1]

@thefearlessT i would get a krown skateboard or a walmart board

[mxskater144]

@VideoScenario you obviously have trouble paying attention he said wider trucks give u a smaller turning radious not tighter dummass and flatter boards are easier for cruisin and boards with more concave are easier for tricks

[rubberunicorn]

i love how the title is "how to choose a skateboard" yet every time he goes to the shop....he is picking out a longboard

[NemiiGamingTecH]

guys. If you watch this to learn what skateboards you should buy. Dont listen to this. Flat skate boards are harder than the normal ones these days. If you dont wanna break your nuts. Then listen to VideoScenario!

[megadude77]

this guys voice is so sterotypical it pisses me off escpecially when he dosent know what hes talking about

[DustyMikeSB]

the way your board looks doesnt matter at all lol

[wowimabeaballer]

ok heres a good setup unlike this dumbass is sugesting first go with a 8-8.5 board kind of good lip on one side flatter on the other best of both worlds chocolate or habitat stuff like that no element or nothin independent trucks or theeves bones og formula or stf bones bones reds super reds or SWISS good setup tthere

[FebrezeProductions]

this guy is a complete wannabe skater...

[anes1998]

F5 to skip the add!!!

thumbs up if worked
