vert

[dy nasty]

ok well i skate vert and allways got a birdhouse deck an set up .. and wanted to try another type of deck ... anyone have any good ideas for a good vert deck?

[TrAnCe]

anything wide I guess.... doesnt really matter on brand, though I've seen some good wide Zero Decks that noone's bought in my local shop. maybe see if they're selling some near you.

[dy nasty]

i see.. thanks . i think im going to go check on some shops near me and see what i find.

How good are you at vert?

How good are you at vert?

well im not to good and not to bad. but i want to learn to skate street..

[TrAnCe]

lol.. I wanna learn Vert, but am too pussy to drop into a 10 foot :-)
if you get air and u stack it, what happens, like, is there a way to fall properly? (pardon my influx of questions.. I never met a vert rider before)

[dy nasty]

lol.. dude start small and work you way up... well if you have air and ur falling its best to wear pads and try to slide down on ur knees it doesnt hurt or anything just a little bumby when you hit the ground... i started on a mini ramp that was 4 foot tall and went to 8 feet and then 10 now i skate my 14 foot halfpipe...

8.5" is a good width board for a street skater getting into vert.

[dy nasty]

yea thats what i usually skate but i think im gonna try a 7.5

[TrAnCe]

7.5 stinks even for street. I cant really Kickflip off anything without scabbing someone's Deck. Thanks for the advice btw.

Trance if you fall in vert your suppost to slide out on your knees. Jeez even I know that and I haven't skated anything over a 7 foot extension. As for a 7.5 in vert.... doesn't sound like a good idea. Your best sticking with very wide boards.

[crazy_dave]

For any type of skating I wouldn't recommend any board thinner than 7.63.
