Im taller than you and heavier than you and I just ride widish decks with either 15 or 14.75 wheelbase. Its all in the wheelbase because thats what dictates the width of your stance, and Im assuming thats what your gripe is. Some of those Skull Skates have really long wheelbases to the point of them being a bit of a pain in the arse to skate.
What is it about a normal wide-ish deck, like 8.5-8.8 x 15WB, that you dont like?
