About Max Expertise I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.
Experience Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.
Question Hi, I'm pretty new to skateboarding, and I'm looking into getting a board. I wanted to know, what kind of board should i get since I'm a bit heavier? I'm about 6'1 and weigh about 190. Any advice is very appreciated. Thank You!!
Answer Hey, you should go down to your local skateshop or go to an online skateshop (ie, www.activemailorder.com). There's not much advice I can give you since all the materials offered are top of the line, but you should be prepared to spend nearly $150 for a complete. Get a 7.75 or 8 inch deck since your feet are probably big, and those same width trucks. Just get whatever looks cool to you. Have fun!
