Skating 9 and 10 inch decks. 35 year old skateboarder

- The trend is to ride bigger decks these days. In this video I review my current board setups for most of my riding; an Anti-Hero 9.0 deck and my OG 10 inch deck from Santa Cruz. Are bigger wheels and bigger decks that much more difficult? Find out.
46yo and I just purchased my first board in 20years. Stay young my man!!! Keep shredding
I´m 35 as well and started skateboarding this march.
I rode an 8.38 at first, tried an 8" second and now I am at 8.5, feels good, middle of the road pretty much, my wheels as well, 54mm.
my shoes are size 12 and the 8" felt too narrow and it was also too short for me, so I only skated it around 2 weeks and then gifted it to another beginner.
Yeah brother
Love seeing older new riders
Nice! Sweet spot for me is 9.5, mostly ride elephant street axe.
Hehe nice man. I envy if only I am same age as you. I’m 47 and trying to skating again but last February I ‘ve got fell and got a broken bones on my left shoulder. 😅
I feel you. I have permanent knee damage because of mountain biking and skateboarding all of these years. It's really important to just skate within our ability and ease into it again. Sometimes I don't get past a warm up on skating sessions because of this.
Love it bro! Nice vid!
I watched the second part in 144p for that nostalgic experience lol
Doing great, keep it up! 🛹
I love my krooked 8.25 deck. I will not go smaller than that. Even thought later on getting a little bit wider.
I have a 8.5 Zig Zagger deck. Krooked makes some awesome boards.
Yes they do and I like the zig zagger.
@@johnnyguzman3429 The hot pink is rad, I loved the 80s lol
Good to see you out there ripping bro
i find it wild that people can ride such wide boards! im 11yo and just got my second board today, its a powell peralta deck 8.0" i can barely even ride a 8.38 lol
Your feet eventually grow into the board. What's huge at age 11 becomes the right size when you're 36. Keep on skating and thanks for watching the vid!
@@johnnyguzman3429 yea true and i just went from 7.75 to 8.0 and it already feels good
I’m 31 and grew up skating 7.5-7.75” decks, transitioned to 8” and that’s still my go to size for the most part. But as of the last couple years I started skating 9”+ decks and they’re a lot of fun, especially if you throw rails on it for board/hurricane combos, the fat edge you get for that trick is unbeatable. Also wheelbase plays a hugeeee factor in function compared to the width of them.
I just got that same board omg that’s crazy
keep it up!!
Nice moves
That ish is tight I just bought a 9.5 board and I fell twice I’m trying to get better fasho
fun!!!! u said it brother,dont know any trix...but love 2 go fast!!!! skate and create,skate and destroy💀
Oh how did you record your voice so clearly i need to know .!
I’m thinking of getting a 9.125 but I assume doing kick flips and heel flips would be harder
You may find it's actually easier to kickflip a wider board like a 9 inch. There is more surface area to balance out and land your kickflips. It's harder to do shuv it and varial flips because you have to pop the board harder and higher for those tricks.
@@johnnyguzman3429 definitely not, the 9 inch makes it harder to flip bc its a bigger heavy board . having a smaller deck like 7.75 is lighter and easier to pop and flip. big boards are better for trans or vert.
@@hatesalex Look no further than pros like Eric Winkowski, Andy Anderson or Ace Pelka, all pro level riders doing amazing technical things on 10" decks. I'll personally will never go back to a 7.75 with 50mm spitfires like I rode back in the day. I like the extra wood under my feet and I have the power in my legs to rotate the board. User experience may very, but big boards got me back into skating. 7.75 is a kid's size. I need a man size board.
What brand of wheels?

1/4 inch risers for what?!?
That's part of my "big boy" setup. I'm usually riding 58-60mm wheels on these boards, so the riser pads help with wheel bite and being over 190 lbs at the moment, also with stress cracks on the board. Landings are also softer with the riser pads as they sort of act as an extra shock absorber when going off anything over a foot tall.
What deck is it?
The orange deck featured is an Anti-Hero 9.0 inch deck with a 15" wheelbase. The second is a Santa Cruz Flynation Pre-issue deck that had a really short run. That deck is 10 inches and has a 14.5 inch wheelbase. Both have riser pads and 58-60mm wheels.
