Hello...
I used to skateboard back in high school and junior high, just skated around, never learned any tricks...anyway I'm 23 now and living in New York City. I really miss just skating around and was thinking of buying a new board. My old set up which I still have is about 8 x 31, with 44mm wheels...which I don't think is good when I think about the city's streets and sidewalks. I will probably just use the board for riding around and was considering getting a more old school shaped deck, either more of an 80's style, wider with more tail and less nose, or something more like a longboard...either way with some bigger, soft wheels. My question is which do you think is a better deck shape to go with? I don't really want a really long board or anything terribly huge...but I also don't want to eat it on my way to work. Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated. Also, if this makes any difference I am about 5ft 5 and a girl. Thanks in advance.
