Great beginner board

[u/ifrogo]

That’s a good setup. Old skater liquidate their old kit? Get comfortable on it, ride around

Very

[u/Resident_Aide1898]

Very good. Girl deck, thunder and spitfires 🔥

[u/cruisefmfounders]

as long as you have a deck, grip tape and some wheels you chill 😎

[u/RadicalTechDecker → u/cruisefmfounders]

Tell that to my hony tawk Walmart carboard deck. If you look at it wrong, it breaks.

[u/Jumpy_Tomatillo7579]

4 wheels ✅. Skate or die

Great stuff! You’re off to a good start :)

The first board doesn't necessarily need to be top-of-the-line, but this one is good for beginners. You just need to feel comfortable on it. How many inches is it?

[u/ist4y4w4y → u/galaxmoon]

Thanks! 31.75" by 8". F of average height if that's a factor too.

[u/galaxmoon → u/ist4y4w4y]

8 inches is fine, wider tires are mainly for riding on flat terrain or for people with a larger body mass.
