you going to hate on manfre? im pretty sure he skates some skinny ass boards

Mr_Friendly · « **Reply #459 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:32:15 AM »

It just annoys me that it's difficult to aquire boards 8 and over because most of the board company's only make tiny sleds for little kids, because that's who buys their stuff the most, that's why I prefaced that by saying I was glad to see other people skating 8's and up, as in the tide was changing. If you want to ride a smaller board, that's cool by me, I know my friends told me i needed to step up from a 7.5 and it's worked out great for me.

bothersome · « **Reply #460 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:58:01 AM »

Age has nothing to do with board size.
And there are plenty of larger boards being made, not sure where you are shopping but you might want to switch shops.

Picked this up today, it is 9 x 32, going to set it up with some Indy 149's and Javiro 58mm wheels, when I get the extra money I will switch the Indy's to Ace 55's

I also have a 8.25 Stereo team deck, with Ace 44's, 53mm Spitfire F-1 park and a Systems ( I think that is who made it) blank deck that I stole from Judd when I moved from Sacramento 3 years ago (I didn't steal it for real just owe him the money

) Some beat ass Indy 146's, 59mm soft wheels I will post photos later.

fuckingvegan · « **Reply #464 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:40:40 PM »

Also as far as small boards 7.5, if you have small feet and that works for you by all means ride it, but riding something that skinny with say size 11 or 12 feet (which I have) never felt right for me, but I try not to judge people on what they skate anymore.

Sarcasm · « **Reply #465 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:48:24 PM »

Yeah for real. In my town if you don't ride an 8 or more people will tear you apart. I ride a 7.5 and have a size 9 1/2 feet. I just like it cause I like doing flip tricks a lot.

^^^^^Good to see that 5boro up here. I'm kinda surprised that with the type of skaters I figured were on SLAP, people wouldn't buy more local or smaller brands. Like, why flow 5 more dollars to fucking Megan Baltimore, when you could support someone like Hustle Jaimie or Steve Rodriguez??
