Nice rigs boys. Always get inspired when I scroll through this thread.
Currently riding a very old 8.5 on very old 149s with new 54mm wheels. I’m just getting back into skating semi-frequently again, and itching to switch it up. I wear size 11.5-12s and I’m eyeing an 8.75 deck with 159s. Anyone running a similar setup and have input on whether or not it still works for flip tricks and such? Not that I plan on getting too tech but would be nice to have the option.
Depending on your height length of your inseam, I’d look more at wheelbase and overall length of the board.
I find that I’m okay as long as my feet can sort of be on the board and not as much “in” the board. My preference is anywhere from 8.5”-9”
I’m 6’1”/185 and I either have shortish legs or longish balls.
For length and wb I’m inclined towards boards 32.25-32.75, and 14.625-15”.
Let the type of skating you do be a guide. Go to the small end of your range for techier stuff, and big for bigger stuff. Or try and find that perfect do-it-all board.
For tech, even though I myself have none, I would look at shorter lengths and wb of boards.
Polar has some nicer 8.75” wide boards, that aren’t too long
