10 points! What size skateboard is the best for my age/size?

Question

Hey I was wondering what size, deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings I should get?

I am 13 I weigh 149 pounds and I am about 5'5 - 5'6.

Also if you know are the plan B acid trip decks and wheels good? This will be my first skateboard and I like Alien Workshop, DGK, plan B, and enjoi so which one is the most reliable brand?

Thanks!

God bless!

Answer 1

For size of deck 8 is really good, alot of people will tell you 7.5 or 7.75 because its lighter and spins faster but its small and once you get better you really dont need a tiny deck to get your tricks to spin.



Trucks should be the same size or a bit smaller then the deck never get trucks larger then your deck.



For wheels, if you skate mainly park like me 49-52 is good, if you skate alot of places with bad ground go for 53-55, bigger wheels are a good idea if you skate vert too.



All those deck brands are sick but i find DGK to have a bit less concave and seem more flat shaped

Answer 2

size deck i say about a 7.8 i got a 7.7 but im 5,1 100 lbs but its not really size its what you prefer i will find some decks and see which size you prefer. but i don't suggest a dgk at all! the graphics look cool but crack easy. i like all the others but another great board and durable is almost impact deck. also girls are really nice. enjoy has great pop but loose the pop fast. ill go with almost, girl, or plan b. and usually in wheel sizes 54mm and under is street over is vert.

A length 8 skateboard is unquestionably good for cruising and gaining know-how of to experience the bowl at a skatepark. it is undemanding to do technical tricks, yet they are going to easily desire a sprint greater attempt, yet not that lots. i personlly think of a length 8 is the suited length board on account which you'll be taught enormously lots each and every thing on them. have relaxing!!
