Not only am I a new guy (see http://www.ramprage.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5031), but I'm also pretty large (we're talking 250 at 6'1"). Am I looking at any problems other than the enlarged affect of gravity on my gelatinous form? Am I going to break decks left and right?

I wouldn't think so, not if you land right(feet over the trucks) I see some pretty big guys busting some huge shiz at my local skate park and they never break decks. Just practice:o)

just land on the bolts and you should be fine for the most part.

A guy I skate with is pretty big like that, but he's a little better than me, and he can TresFlip and everything. But when he bails he bails hard. You just got to be gentle.

im 6ft and nt sure on how heavy and the only ting that annoys me is my feet are a bit to big for tre-flips :mad:...it shouldnt affect you in any way cause decks are made to be strong and take a battering
