*42 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Kind of like a 7 1/2" board , now that's real gay . I skate a 7.5, and a few years back when my feet were a bit smaller I skated a 7.45. I'm not a big stair skater though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELT Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 At 6'1" & 200lb , I'd snap anything under 8" in half . This Enjoi deck will be the true test . :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*42 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well yeah, at 5'7 160. And I don't skate anything bigger than a nice fun 4 stair these days, and usually I'm just skating a nice fun ledge, I stay with a nice skinny board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Quickwood Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 for some reason my board is a battered H-Street, i've been waiting for it to break for the past couple years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 This place looks like a fucking blast. I'm envious, and i haven't even skated for like 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokey Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I got my eyes on a Toy Machine 8.5 deck. Im usually a zero man but figure I might give it a try (casual skating. too worn out for anything worthy of a Transworld cover) Whats the view on ToyMachine decks??

mindvapors Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 ...then i'm going to guess you people have never done hand rails or much grinding for that matter. (not bashing, just seriously not understanding this huge boardness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELT Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I have , I seriously can't skate anything less than 8 . This new Enjoi at 7.75 is holding up but barely . I skate cement and wood mainly - Bowls , Pools , mini-ramps , vert ramps , etc..I never was much one for the street . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsaw party Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah take away all the $80-$90 shoes , silly-ass " skate clothes " jeans , hoodies , horrible & shitty rap influences . That's a start .;) :lol: Holy shit! :lol: This new millenium skatepark boom has ruined me. I can't skate like I did in the 90's. Nowadays, when I go street skating I look for any semblance of a sloped surface and if there is none I find a pallet, plywood, car hood, etc. and make one. Frontside flips have turned to footplants.
