    Just got into skating and bought a cheap deck with 50s. I can tell straight away they won't be great for me whilst I'm practicing and building experience. Have gone all the way up to Venom 99a 60s. I'm mostly skating street, and learning transitions, so I think these will be great for now. Maybe drop down a little once I'm more comfortable.

    Homie, I'm 49 today. I just got back to skating a year and a half ago after a 30+ year hiatus. I tried the skinny popsicles and I fractured my humerus within the first month back. Wide board means more stability. I had no problem with rails or ledges back in the day. I'm still trying to reach the height of my ollies from 30 years ago..... Slowly. But I bought a Roskpopp Kaiju deck and it's 10.12 inches wide and it's not that much heavier than my 9.3 Dressen deck. Or it doesn't feel that much heavier. Aight then ✌️🤙✌️
