[MangaDesigns]

@TehDiZzyPs3 skateboarding is all about you personal style and needs dont ask us go out there and see witch one works best for you.

[canelokid15]

@johntheeccentric go for anything over an 8 inch

[johntheeccentric]

what deck size should i get? i wear a size 10 shoe

[SuperSniperBEAST]

i get my board at vans

[cmpondeck]

@Scarywzzy 7.8 is really small for a shoe size that big get between a 8 and 8 1/2

[sopoker6]

Look up sopoker6 all the videos are beast!!!!

[xxHardkorex]

7.75 to 8.0 the 8 is wider so my tricks are cleaner the 7.75 harder to land and usually hard to commit or toe touches

[MikeySICS]

I wear size 8 half shoes and skate an 8.6 deck o.o" works fine for me. You dont need a 12 size foot to skate 8.5 or bigger.

[SilentBoardSK8a]

im 12 im 5'10 i weigh 110 lbs and i have a size 13 foot and i skate a 7.0

[I3raden]

@SilentBoardSK8a wtf thats weird haha. i skate 8, it feels so much better in my opinion. It also makes tricks look cleaner. :D

[blackmondaysk8crew]

@SilentBoardSK8a what????

[12ChRiStInA20]

At the end of the day its all about preference. I know kids that are 4 foot 5 and the use a 8.0 board and adults who use 7.5 boards.

[E34FREE]

Now I want to buy 8 deck with 129mm independent 10 trucks , is it good for street ? I want that deck slip more when land into railstand. And protect threads too. OR should I buy 7,75 deck instead ? i know there is no much diference but there is more landing space, and more space for mistakes , PLEASE HELP

[zeppelinhead1]

[irideyamaha1999]

[0Stripes]

@viper5658 you should get a 7.5

[viper5658]

hey, im trying to buy a skateboard im 15 years old my shoe size is 7 and im 5.4 height should i get a 7.5 or 8.0 thnks

[spartan117937]

I've got a size 4 shoe in adult so how big should my board ve

[kamrantahir111]

is the screaming hand deck good

[crazyska8tr1]

thats stupid i went up to my skateshop and bought a brand new powell complete like a coule of weeks ago and nothing bad went wrong with it

[TheRobertoAngelone]

Dude, I use a 9 x 33 Deck with a 14.5-15" WB & I still manage to pull some flips with it...the Extra stability offered is certainly a worth-while trade-off for not being able to pull off every flip trick in the book...but that's more due to my limited skills in that department that the deck being at fault...Chunky can be fun too :o)

[Riighted]

The red and white dotted hats looks awesome

[joshuasbrooks]

most street pro's skate 8-8.5

[TheZombieNERDS]

so what concave is the best if i want to do high ollies ?

[osirishoes3]

If I wear I size ten can I ride a 8.38 is that good for street skating and gaps

[danishairsoftink]

@osirishoes3 i would say 8.0 cause bigger than 8 is mostley for vert n stuff. 7.75 is for smaller feet. so 8 is a good mix of bigger feet and street skating:)

[MegaOpticBlast]

size doesnt matter what ever feels comfortable

[numetla]

@MegaOpticBlast that's what she said

[panisfire]

@MegaOpticBlast likiing 8.5 but all i can do is ollie n shuv lol

[utubienut]

@panisfire That's because you got a 8.5, that board goes slow on flip tricks. If you only had an 8 and less then you're good for tricks and vert.

[plyiu2]

@MegaOpticBlast Thats what she said hehe XD

[Diedhard]

@MegaOpticBlast to a girl it does

[CommunistChocolate]

is it that even if you feet is big but its fine is u can find balance on it?

[Tenpoundcat]

send me a hat!

[djeerryy]

I have a footsize 11,5 so what board should i use?

[MAmoviesRS]

@djeerryy im a size 12, i use a size 8,3

[keith644]

@djeerryy try about an 8 and see if you like it

[TheRaiden1945]

chocolate boards arent flatter! chocolate and girl boards are the SAME!

[GTFOandskate22]

i bought a 7.75 fabric skateboard and i only have a size six shoe and i love it

[Hiouji]

what i learned from this video: 8.5 decks are bigger than the others he showed.. so wow!

[sushicannibal]

8.25 real board chima its great and i usaually ride the nose because it lasts longer

[MegaMadd123]

I picked up an 8 inch plan b ryan sheckler authentic deck and it is amazing.

[bosssauce18]

helpful video

believeboards website has some cool skateboard decks

[HairOverTheHorizon]

can anyone help me find the rite size for a board i wear an 8.5 to 9

[97sniper]

@HairOverTheHorizon i say get a 7.75. ive rode one of those since i was size 7 and now im size 12 and i still ride it

[cpadowitz]

@HairOverTheHorizon

probably something like 7.75 for street. maybe also 7.5 but its all personal preference. go to your local skateshop and ask the guy and test out a few boards.

[HairOverTheHorizon]

@cpadowitz

thanks man 

[YouThinkYouCoolHuh]

hey whats better for a size 10 shoe...-7.75 or 8.0

[cpadowitz]

@YouThinkYouCoolHuh

for street probably 7.75 but its all personal preference. i ride a 8 inch deck and im a size 10 as well for street but its what you like to ride.

[JAMSTAR111]

I'm a pretty technical kinda skater (Double flips, triple flips ect..) And I've got two 8 boards, they're super awesome to skate with n stuff but for some reason, doing technical stuff on that board doesn't feel right :/ What size would anyone recommend for a technical trick skater like me?

[JoshKnightmare]

this guy sounds like an idiot

[537productions]

Please what is that gold deck

[djeerryy]

what is the best Board for a guy thats 15 years old and have size 10- 11? im looking for a board thats good to do ollies with and other tricks like ollies?

[TheGuanajuatoKid]

can someone plz help me pick the right size of board?

my feet a 9 size foot and im 5 feet and 8 inches tall

[BakerMassacre]

@TheGuanajuatoKid Start with a 7.75. If you feel like you need a wider board, go up to an 8, if you feel like it should be less wide, go for a 7.5. Its more personal preference rather than size ratios. I have a size 9.5 foot and ride an 8, and I know people with size 12 feet that prefer 7.5.

[TheGuanajuatoKid]

@BakerMassacre thanks bro :)

[SICK620]

you blink alot ;)

[Icecats5000]

i have a size 6 shoe what should i use

[chronicalsofgnarlia]

@Icecats5000 it depends if you want a big deck or a small deck. if you want a big one go with 7.75 and if you want a small one go with 7 or 7.5

[SketchySkater420]

pause at 1:31 hes so stoned

[ScootKr3w]

how to buy a skateboard: look for anything 8+ and buy it

[TheHenryTown]

@ScootKr3w i don't think so. you can't do any good tricks with those.

[DiViNiTY1337]

The board size is not entirely made up of what shoesize you've got, dickhead. It's the height of the skater, the shoesize comes second.

By the way, this is the 1 337th comment, so I know what I'm talking about. Haha.

[NG01Near]

oioi....can i ask you something? i bought a skateboard in vans botique in a mall i think they are just for display.....is it fake???yes or no....because i feel its fake..the wheels said L.A sports or something.....and its my firts time to skate....iff you want to see it ill make a responce vid of pics...for you...thanks you....sorry my english is bad...

P.s..i need your responce asap because in june 2 im going back to philippines...there is no skate board in there....please help.

[ibrokethewindshield]

I'm a size 9, what size skateboard should I get? I'm planning to save up for a board but I'm still pretty clueless.

[faceplant441]

@ibrokethewindshield im size 9 too, and i ride 8.00 inch bords

[kz88814]

@ibrokethewindshield I'm a size 8 and i skate on a 8.0 but i think 7.75 would be better for me so, id say get maybe a 8.0

[kz88814]

@ibrokethewindshield im a size 8 and i skate a 8.0 but i think a 7.75 would suite me better, so id say get a 8.0, but its watever feels right, so maybe try skateing on different sizes

[Bijface]

like if you already have a board

[MaxJones97]

@Bijface FAIL!

[XtraAzianBoy]

i have a size seven foot. is it alright if i ride a 8.125????

[not4useofidiots]

@XtraAzianBoy its all personal 

[TheHenryTown]

@XtraAzianBoy you can ride a 10" board if you want but you aren't doing any flip tricks.

[o0SkatingWithHarry0o]

[CrotonSkateTeam]

[24sk8rgrl]

I got a question and can someone answer it. I'm a girl and I skateboard I'm really good but I want a cool brand that's good. Also my shoe size is a 7 so WAT should I get?

[oOBulletsaint]

[Iskatefridayzz]

[oOBulletsaint]

@Iskatefridayzz yeah i ment2 say they chip easily but there great bro but i love, i ride creature boards.

[Iskatefridayzz]

@oOBulletsaint creature boards are insane :)

[sk8tenistcool]

ive seen a 8.625 board you can see it if you type in google skatedeluxe in skatedeluxe you go to boards and the n you have to type in 8.625 in the top right hand corner and youll see it

[jon33cc]

hey tom morelo

[nlceguy]

i think a size 8 board is ideal for fip tricks and a lil bigger for tranny and bowls and stuff like a 8.2-8.5. but when i was younger i def had a smaller board somewhere from a 7.6-7.75

[TheHenryTown]

@nlceguy it completely depends on your shoe size.

[ScrubaDubSkateFilms]

maby before being an expert at skateboard reviews u should get an expert education on speech!

good review though

[Magicxskater]

I wear a size 10 what size board is best for me?

[Killa9023]

[elainemarie5]

@XxXKickityFlip506Xxx Zoo York

[Gallonfoot]

i like alot of concave and alot of pop. if your like me then you should get this brand i found called 10-31. my local proshop sells them and so far ive skated 3 of there decks and i skate really hard, and they last me a while, at least around 4-5 months, considering how i skate, thats alot. so i highly recomend 10-31

[joeg567]

[dORkyERiCbvb]

@shawn895111 Umm depends what you use it for. If its for gaps and stairs and stuff or if your just qonna qrind. Im 14 and im size 9 and a half and i ride a 7.75. Maybe you'll be a size 8 deck.

[lalabunda]

7.77 

[clicheskateboarder]

im 12 years old i have a size 5 foot i really like this deck thats a 8" but is that too big for me?

and im pretty small

[TEXASSHIT]

also make sure d place u buy a board from doesent have a wal and a mart in d name

[BeatlesHero]

pick baker or element.

[Headroidz]

so the deeper the concave, the easy it is to flip(faster flip)?

[seangreenz420]

Can someone help me out, i ride girl and i wear size 9 1/2 and i originally started skateing a 7.5 but it didnt feel right and when i switched to 7.75 i started landed tricks more and doing more stuff, i wanna know if a 8.0 board would be better for doing tricks with my foot size? Thanks

[lilpunk324]

@seangreenz420 I wear a 11.5 in mens and ride a 7.5, i land tricks just fin on it. and ive also had a couple 7.75 boards, but with 8.0 to me it seems that theyre harder to flip and move around and stuff. so i would just stick with 7.75. and if you have a friend that rides 8.0 try riding his board for a little bit and see how you like it.

[seangreenz420]

@lilpunk324 Thanks alot man that helped alot.

[AhoyPirateMason]

@lilpunk324, but i dont have friends

[sudahi51]

@lilpunk324 hey i wear an 11 in mens and i ride an 8.0 and i find my feet fallin off a lot if i don't land squarly with my feet on the center of the board and i can hardly regain my balance and stay on the board. is the problem the board or am i doin something wrong?

[lilpunk324]

@sudahi51 I have that problem sometimes, but you just need to try and keep your weight centered. but you need to place most of youre weight in different spots for different tricks. what tricks are you havin the most trouble with?

[sudahi51]

@lilpunk324 thanks man, its actually mostly ollies and kickflips, i'll land the ollie after jumpin something then my toes will usually lean over the side to much and ill fall off and get pissed. kicflips a lot of time ill land then my front heel will hang off in a position that's hard for me to regain balance and ill fall off.

[lilpunk324]

@sudahi51 on kickflips try to put some of your weight over toes like lean forward when you do, thats how i got my kickflips.

[sudahi51]

@lilpunk324 ok thanks man

[missinglinc7800]

Hey is zumies a good place??

[midgetproductionstv]

@missinglinc7800 local skate shops are useally better cause they know more and you get better deals.

[TuckerTribe850]

[TheFrigginAwesome]

[TheBakerSkater1996]

man, i wear a size 9.5 shoe and skate 8.25s. this guy dont know shit. never seen a pro skate anything smaller than an 8

[Skatezillah]

@TheBakerSkater1996

Paul Rodriguez skates a 7.63 so in your face!

[TheBakerSkater1996]

@Skatezillah for real. dang. thats small. im goin off boys from baker and deathwish. lizard rides like an 8.5 and so does reynolds. herman rides 8.25

[Skatezillah]

@TheBakerSkater1996

Yeah, I skate 8 though. But I still agree that this guy doesn't know shit because he's PAID to do this. Plus you were born in 1996? Me too. I'm turning 15 March 23rd. Haha I ride FLIP at the moment.

[TheBakerSkater1996]

@Skatezillah oh no, i was born in 1994, 1996 is the number my email gave me, so i stuck with that. But im a Baker rider all the way

[Skatezillah]

@TheBakerSkater1996

Oh, lol. Are Bakers really good for pop and concave?

[TheBakerSkater1996]

@Skatezillah there kinda flat. but i think they have pretty good pop.

Why. Does. He. Talk. Like. Ergh. This. All. The. Time. So freakin annoying...
