build my board :D

[grayson]

ok here is the deal. my dad is in the usa, im in mexico. they have a skateshop here but they have shitty atm's and girl boards etc for like 65 dollars. (just deck) anyways, i want a mini logo... i like them, i landed my first kickflip on one like a year ago and i just love them for some reason.... anyways, i need to know the size of the deck i want. the trucks the wheels etc etc. i am fat. lol, k im overweight. so if that is a determinimgmatter on something let me know.. so far i have

mini logo deck -black

i wear a size 10.5 shoes so what size deck should i get??

for wheels, im not going to be skating on the easyest and smoothest floor, so i dont want to eat it again and die like i did before break my arm :/ so like 53/4? wheels? then trucks... and yea tape etc.. i am poor lol, i dont have lots of cash to spend on skating so i really dont need that nice of shit, i probably wont be grinding to much. mostly flip tricks and stair jumps etc. also i want a cool grip tape design, not really a dsign, but what do u guys have on ur grip tape, i want something more then just a line i think... anyways thanks a bunch :)

my msn is graysonr2k_@hotmail.com so if u wan2 add me go for it.

deck size: 7.75 (i have the same size shoe) and mini logos are good boards nice pop and concave, pretty durable also
trucks: thunders/royals are good
wheels:authobahn or rictas
bearings: red bones
grip:black magic or jessup (no design but very good grip)
hardware: dosent matter every 1 has shortys

55-56mm generic blank wheels

55-56mm generic blank wheels

ya blank wheels of any sort are good (forgot u were on a "budget" i should say) but wheels are wheels

and if u want trucks that are durable, get some indys...they will last a very long time :-41:

sounds good here, but I would change/expand on some things. I would prefer a 7.5 deck(I also have 10.5 shoes). Go for Rictas in 55-56mm. Rictas perform significantly better. I am a fan of low trucks, but you could either go for medium trucks or order risers with low trucks, just in case.

deck size: personal preference, but most ppl (friends and skate shop owners) suggest a 7.75 for beginners
wheels: rictas= soft and big, good for going on the streets, autobahns small and hard, good for smooth pavement (which i ride on) :-3:
trucks:low with shock pads
but thats how i like my setup, u just have to test it out, in my opinion, its all personal preference :D

thanks guys, ill tell you what i decide, what is the diference between .5 and .75, i mean. pro's cons?? thanks

[just_skate_]

not really "that" much of a difference
7.5= usually easier to do "flip tricks with" (can spin the board faster) harder to land (less of an area to land onto)
7.75=harder to do flip tricks with but easier to land stuff (larger area to land on to)

[PopwarPunk]

A quarter of an inch, that's the difference.

[grayson]

yea thanks, i had no idea it was a 1/4 of an inch.. /sarcasm

i am just gona ask my dad to see what they have :) 7.5 or .75 ill get some independent trucks...

probably just some cheap 54-56 wheel's or ricta's ;) and swiss bones bearings ;D thanks

[Sk8er_MaFe]

no prob man and have fun skating

sounds good, but you could probably exchange the swisses for some bones reds. Reds are only $15 and are really nice bearings, but if you're willing to spend the extra money, then get the swiss.

[Sk8er_MaFe]

both are nice buys, bones in general are great bearings

[grayson]

thanks ill keep that in mind thanks

[spenser]

i have size 10.5 feet too and i ride 8.25s, and they dont feel big.

so shoe size really doenst make a difference. its all preference.

get a 9.5

satori gooballs are real nice small soft wheels for the rough stuff. they are the smallest soft wheels i can find. 56mm
