New to long boarding and wanted to see if I could get any gear advice here. Bought a relatively cheap amazon board https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L6V7J1E?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf as to not break the bank for a beginner board. After getting the basics down besides figuring out how to ride over bumps and cracks I find or get up curbs was wondering if anyone could provide some advice of what to change from the build. Already decided to change the bearings to redz but if anyone had some better wheels to recommend or if I should change the trucks would really appreciated.
Currently it looks like buying online is within my range, so I can't spin the wheels. Do you know if this would do?: Ten Toes Board Emporium Zed Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Cruiser, 44", Aqua Fishtail https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L6V7J1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_J96Ozb1EPM2FM
Hey guys, new to the subreddit. I've seen a few other similar posts on here from other people. Most of them are pretty outdated, so I thought I'd put up a post for myself personally.
I've been thinking for awhile about getting into longboarding, so I'm completely new to this and have very little knowledge in it. I do know that finding the right type and make of a board depends on the rider's physical build.
I'm an average height female and weigh around 270-280 lbs. My shoe size is 6.5 in men's. I'm really only gonna be using the board to cruise and maybe learn some tricks on flat ground.
I'd like a board that can support my weight but is also aesthetically pleasing. Don't wanna pay for a board that I'm not crazy about appearance-wise as well, right? A symmetrical board is all I'm really looking for other than the weight support factor.
I would like to not spend too, too much on my first board. A complete board would be ideal as well. Preferably below $100. I was looking at some Ten Toes longboards (https://www.amazon.com/Ten-Toes-Board-Emporium-Skateboard/dp/B01L6V7J1E), since I really like their shape and design but wanted to get a second opinion but I jumped the gun.
Thanks!
