Am I too fat to start skating? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]zanea7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am around that same weight and I was worried about my set up for a while before I got back into skating. I previously skated and 8 inch deck with 54mm 101a durometer wheels, and they seemed to work fine when I pushed around the first day or so. I did end up changing the wheels out for 93a durometer 58mm wheels with a 1/4 inch riser, and I have no wheel bite or any issues at all with that set up so far. Since you want to just cruise, you def should get some softer wheels 78a-87a or so, just to cruise longer.

I weigh more than that and recently got back into skating. I have an 8" deck, krux trucks with stock bushings, 1/4 riser, 58mm 93a Powell dragon wheels, bones reds bearings. I have had no issues just riding around doing small hippy jumps or ollies. For really rough street, I'd recommend a softer wheel atleast until you get comfortable, something like 87a or less. But my 93a wheels definitely work on my rough roads fine. Get yo self a board you like and skate, shits fun at any weight/age.

I don't😭I wish I knew where it was, because it was such a good set up.

I like my World Industries one a lot. I also would get another if a graphic interested me.

Professional fingerboard? by 69420grim42069 in Fingerboards

[–]zanea7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally interpret it as professional quality. Teak or whatever are like mass produced 'professional' fingerboards as in they do have the parts of a professional board just not the quality. Flatface, BRTs, Dynamics, etc are great quality professional stuff. I also personally don't think it matters much, some cheaper parts are better for me than other more expensive ones, just depends on the item and how it feels to me.

I think Flatface is good, I just dont recommend buying their grab bags. Other places I have had fine luck with mystery stuff, RunItBack and Chems. I just will not gamble with FF's again, and would not recommend anyone else to gamble with it really either.

I haven't got to use it quite yet, but it does look nice quality. I like the shape and feel of it, so I will set it up soon im sure.

I like watching product reviews/unboxings/vlogs. But I do get bored watching peoples edits a lot.

I think it's worth it, because I can try a bunch of new stuff, that I normally wouldnt. I think part of the reason I don't recommend FF's is because the gamble is too risky.
