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.

Skateboarding - i dont know what size i need for my skateboard


Expert: Max - 6/4/2006

Question
i am a intermeadiate skateboard and my skateboard just brike recently and when i went to buy a new skateboard i was not comfortable with the board so i just want to know that my shoe size is 11 and i am 16 years old so tell me the size of my board should be.....

and another thing when i do an ollie i dont land straight, i usallly slip or land a funn position. why?

Answer
You should get whatever board you feel most comfortable with. I wear an 11 and I skate 8" boards, they fit me perfect. That's what I recommend.

With your ollie, it's because you're turning your shoulders. Just keep your body directly over the board at all times. It's a common mistake, one that I had for a long time, but practice and you'll straighten it out.

Good luck!
