In need of a new board.

[cordell]

I should've gotten one a long time ago. Its in bad shape. The edges are chipped, It lost its pop, the graphic is completely scratched up, the nose and tail are a different shape and everything.
I need help with getting a new board. And im really picky about them.
It cant be to lightweight, It cant be too small, It cant be too wide. It has nice pop, and lasts a while.
Any suggestions?

just get the same size you had last time......
habitat, almost, deluxe and anything from blankdecks are good.
if your that picky though, just get the same deck you had last time.

im thinking about getting a habitat or another flip.
here is my setup right now:
Deck: Flip Rodrigo tx
Trucks: Royals
Wheels: Flip HKD
Bearings: Bones Reds
It was about 31 inches long but it shrunk so its not as long now. And it is 7.5 inches wide. Thats not too wide

Habitat's are awesome, you can't go wrong with one of those. They have kind of deep concave though, so if you don't like a lot of concave try one out first.

Are you getting a whole new setup?
If so go with indy's instead of royals this time.

Habitat 15,000 thumbs up.

I only ride Foundation and Habitat now, great boards.

Most likely. Maybe ill go with something like this:
Deck: Habitat
Trucks: Indys
Wheels: Either bones or ricta or autobahn
bearings: Lucky
What kind of wheels? Im deciding between Ricta, Bones, or Autobahn

[yoda_emo]

Ricta or bones

[cordell]

Why not autobahn?

[TrAnCe]

Yeah, why NOT Autobahn? From my experience, they're the best wheels on the planet. Ricta's... they wear down an go slow from what my mate's told me. Perhaps Bones are good, but Autobahn really kick some serious arse. I even advertise them in my sig. thats how good they are.. Whatever you do, dont get spitfire.

Wheels don't effect the speed, the bearings do.

I would try ricta. I mean spitfire is okay but they get shit real fast.

I just skate shop wheels, 20 bucks and im good to go.

slaves are dope.

slave is from blackbox. so i don't see how they could be good. they might be alright though. the best deck i've ever skated was a habitat. but if you want a habitat you are paying your full money. i'm a fan of crailtap decks, girl and chocolate. they are great, definantly better out there (habitat) but i always find deals on them and i love crailtap altogether.

Not really. If you get 50mm 78a wheels they would definatly slow you down, whereas if you get 50mm 100a wheels, they would go faster. Also, the rebound of the wheel affects speed. The more rebound the wheel has, the faster it'll go most of the time.

[Dookie416]

Wheels don't effect the speed, the bearings do.

the wheels can effect the speed even more than the bearing can. if you skated 50mm wheels and then 55mm wheels you'd go way faster on the 55's.

Deluxe is an acquired taste.
