5’9” but chunky, about 15 stone. Relatively big feet too, 10.5
I think shorter wheelbase as you’re 5’9" and maybe 8.25 as you got larger feet
But just like prof schmitt says you tend to just ‘figure it out’, maybe try some diff board widths from friends. What size you ride now @ParmoViolets ?

I’m nowhere near a shop and it’s gets expensive going through boards by ordering them, trying it and selling them on with damage. I don’t get out enough to make it worth that investment. Wheels are usually 56mm+, standard weight trucks, board usually 8.5 (don’t know latest wheelbase) and usually have risers so might just go with with some 50-52mms, no riser, hollow truck, 8.25” and maybe drop the length and wheelbase a bit. Might start with the Crail G027 actually. I like a long tail.
Thanks for the advice, I’ll try out some of those vids too
New board has turned up with bullet grip. Anyone used it before?
I’ve had it on a couple of boards. It’s fine. Applied easy enough, Didn’t come off or lose grip.

Decided I can’t stand Indy 215s and their shit grind clearance any longer.
Just bought a set of Ace 80s and some 77 hollows in a sale. Need to figure out which I wanna ride more. The joy of disposable income I guess.
Buy another deck to put them on?
Nah, just trying to work out what to ride with the Dead Dave board I have at the moment.
So you’re gonna put new trucks on a board you’ve already skated?

It’ll be fine. Just be sure to slap some new stickers on it first

Come on I only fussily bought two sets of trucks to “audition”… I’m not going full Christmas complete.
Bones x-formula owners, show yourselves
I have a question: I have dragons (93a) ATM and skatepark crud doesn’t stick to them so I don’t have to spend half the time rubbing the crap off on the wall. Would like a harder ‘soft’ wheel but wondered if the 97a’s also have this magical anti-crud quality to them?
Am I making sense?
Yes, they do.

As Nav says, they do. I ride them for that reason I hate shit on my wheels makes me feel unsafe.

So a tick for 97s. I wonder if 99s will deliver
Personally, I think the 93s are too slow on predominantly smooth indoor terrain. You should gain a lot of speed on the harder x’s while still getting the anti-crudness.
I don’t know about Bones specifically but for me 97a spitfires have the anti crap magic and 99s don’t.
