cool i thing im going to get a real then
-
one more question, will i kind of be disappointed if i get this? i never rode an old school board so will it be hard for me to grind, kickflip, ollie, vert stuff like fs airs and such. or will i jsut get used to it and be able to do stuff with it? thanks for the help

58 should be sick... 'm only rolling on 56's in this clip, but 58 would be even better.
-
alright thanks. will 58mm be kinda of small for it to use it as a vert/cruiser and some grinding?
-
It's a little bigger than normal, it has a longer wheelbase, a more squared-off tail, and a pointy nose. It's a lot like the boards I grew up skating on in the mid to late 1980's... these days it would be considered a "cruiser," basically a heavier board with softer wheels for hauling ass around town on. Super fun.

how was your zig zagger. is it pretty much like a normal board? harder to do stuff on or easier?
...last thing, Deluxe was one of my faves way before i got to know anyone over there (though I knew of many of the guys when I was younger because few of 'em were big pros back in my younger days. Peace wilson!

Yeah man, if you check the bottom of my profile you can read abot me and Deluxe (who make Real, Krooked, Anti Hero, and Thunder).
I don't review Deluxe products because I have a very strong bias for them... personally, my favorite boards and shapes, favorite wheels, and they manufacture (but don't distribute) Indy. If I'm not riding a shop board, I ride one of the three board brands under deluxe. Killer wood, great shapes. Disclosure: I'm friends with a few fellas over there, too. I love DLX!

...even fuller disclosure, the main guy in charge of running Real & most of Deluxe is my best friend in California. I spent the weekend with him & his family just a few weeks ago, skating and loving it. The whole company has a great skate-ethic, not to mention that the three companies (same wood, btw) have some of the sickest, rawest, most bad ass skaters on the planet.
ps,
ALL HAIL CARDIEL!!!
