I’m an 8.25 skateboard, what human should I buy?
A 6 foot tall potato
Smaller people manual better
Buy somebody taller so you can ollie high
lol

As a reminder... while in the process of picking a size, please do not leave Ricardo hanging.
HAHAHAHA
Haha

That's Ricardo, the kid that got left hanging...

@@xd_omino7270 WoW sO eDgY.
Honest experience: I started skating on a 7.75, it's amazing for learning flips and it's pretty light, so if you are new to skating, it's a nice start. At my peak I skated 8.25 when I jumped stairs or went on rails. Also it depends on the size of your feet. I'm an 11.5, and when I tried a 7.75 it was incredibly small and uncomfortable. Also the larger the size of the board the harder it is to break , which means less boards more money. But 7.75 would be amazing if for instance you are learning tricks, like underflips, nolie, switch, backside flips etc.
11.5? Your foot is fully in your board with even more space
i skate an 8.75 with size 8 shoes haha
@@Gzerod think again
@@wyatthunter987 I wear size 11 vans and just bought a 7.75 bc it was on sale for $10. Couldn’t pass up the deal

He just said 5 feet tall then described a 3 feet tall person. I’m HURT lmao

Lmao same 😂
Lol same I'm 5'3 I'm hurt 😂
No he's just extremely tall
I love how everyone respected him making his video. I also enjoyed watching the tricks and landings in the back lol. Thank you for all the information 😊
Size really is up to personal preference. I’m 5’1, size 6 women’s shoes and ride 8.5. But it’s what I’m comfortable with compared to the other sizes I’ve tried! Although I will admit the “that board is as big as you” comments never get old... really.
Board as big as you? My friend used to ride a 58inch (4'10) longboard!
You're an idiot if you're skating in 8.5 bored with a size 6 shoe.
"sorry I left you hangin' Ricardo"
Yea what a dick head
Oof
Cacha b
left your hand hanging ;)
What's so wrong about what he said?
When I first started to learn kickflips my front foot slipped on the landing and I bashed my board into my mouth so you might want to consider what flavor board you get as well... Cuz mine tasted like bleeding.😢🤕
Sean Michael why you lying tho
Bruh, u dont need teeth to skate.
Shit ok
Not Seb lying about what?
Someone r/whoosh please I don't want to do it
Man, you were the most stable on the 9. I used to skateboard, 16 years ago. After watching a couple of videos of yours, I bought a nice 8.5, coming next week. Cannot w8 to get back to my youth. Gonna see what the "precise 3" (ollie, kickflip, heelflip) looks like after 16 years.
Thanks for the great content
I recently got back into skating and bought a 8.25 but then found my old 7.75 in the attic.
I think I‘ll ride the 7.75 for now until my body has gotten stronger.
The smaller board works great to learn the technique without wearing me out as quick.
The 8.25 board feels like a heavy boat in comparison.
hi, can i know how tall are you? and what is ur shoe size? im new and kinda struggling to pick the size of my first skate
I wear a size medium shirt, so what colour grip tape should I use?

50 years old, freestyle scooter rider for the past two years now getting my first board ever. Between this and another similar Braille video, I think I’m going to start with an 8.0, mainly to roll around the park after a scooter session. Looking simply roll well on a board, get comfortable and in control, and then learn even the simplest of tricks (and for reference, I’m 5’8”, wear a 9.5 sneaker, and usually rock white tee shirts from Costco!)
Good call
That was cool to see the head to head comparison of the different sizes.

I loved how this turned into more of an science experiment than Aaron anticipated
Just picked up a new 8.75" anti hero deck today, and I threw some of my old 8.75" Stage 11 Independent trucks, the standards not the hollows or titaniums. Also threw some 55mm Spitfire Formula 4 99 durometer wheels in the Classic shape. Big deck, big wheels, heavy independent trucks, that's what I like. It's not nimble, but this heavy setup will grind through the gnarliest, chunkiest street ledges, it maintains speed well when skating transition, and it rides over rough ground nicely due to the taller wheels and wider deck. It's not nimble, it's just a heavy duty street-crusher setup and I love it. These are the kinds of setups we skate here in the rough roads of southern Wisconsin.
How tall are you ?
I've literally had zero knowledge of skateboarding before I found this channel
Same dude
And yet I still don’t skateboard after finding this account! 😂
Honestly, I really want to skateboard but like I’m going to have to wrap myself with like 50 pillows. no matter how many videos I watch, there’s no way I’ll be able to keep my balance lol
Yeah same 👍🏽
@@spooks2170 I have no balance at all and start skateboarding at 21, the more u ride ur board and the more u have balance and the more u can try some tricks, I actually learning ollie and that's just tryhard honestly

I’m pretty sure he right and his hand would be close to a 5 feet person if he was standing
As a 52 year old beginner, I have an 8 and an 8.5 (picked them both up used on offer-up for $55 total).
I like to learn new things like dropping-in on my 8.5 due to the stability, and then later learn them on the 8.0.
Also, on my 8.5, the trucks are tighter and the wheels a bit slower.
I wear 12 sized shoes and my board is a 7.75, it feels like i can only get my toes on the board lol, i wanna pick up a 8.25 or something, but need to test all sizes first to see wich one i like most
@@b4sh936 you should go from 8.375 to 8.6, depends if u skate street or bowl
@@Wladeksk8 I do both, but more street. I still didnt bought a new skate but still rocking on the half an inch skate lol. And btw its a 7.5, not a 7.75

Thank you so much for this informative video I'm 6'2 50 years old and my midlife crisis and instead of buying a car I picked up a skateboard. I went with an eight because my feet are 10 yeah so it looks like I made the right choice and I went with tensor those magnesium tensor trucks for for lightness and small hard wheels cuz I like to aren't you a little bit everything in mid size trucks and I learned all this stuff from you guys so thank you very much

These days I go for the 7.75. But from the late 80's to late 90's, it was 7.25 deck w/ Indy 101 trucks.
this is prolly the most useful vid for people lookin to buy a board for the first time, great work bro.

2:02 I love how this kid knew hes on the camera so he tried to show off and after he failed, he act like he was just about to sit down.
Right bros hella funny
18 years ago, when I was 17, people made fun of me for skating an 8" board. "How can you skate such a big ass board?"
Now people still make fun of me for skating an 8" board but in a different direction. "How can you skate such a skinny board?"
I don't get it.
Well y'know back then skating smaller boards was the "trendy" thing . Skinny boards , baggy jeans , vhs tapes . Now it's all fat ass boards , skinny jeans , instagram stories . Times change . But IMHO 8 inches is probably the best size . Sure it doesn't flip like a 7.75 and it doesn't have the room an 8.25 has ... But it really gives you the best of both worlds .. And I'm skating a 7.75 . Sometimes this lack of 6 millimeters made me lose a trick and the fact that 7.75 flips like crazy has made some of my pop shove it and with the board trying to kill me
Office Chair todays skaters does not have skinny jeans. In my city it’s like a competition of who have the most baggy pants, my friend who should wear around size 30 jeans will buy like size 40 straight jeans with a belt on
@@lucasjoona2182 Really ? Here it's either skinny jeans or shorts . Well I'm not the kind of skater who wants to look like a skater . I skate with sweatpants because I feel comfortable moving .
Office Chair Yeah, You really should wear whatever you like and are comfortable with. But in my city it’s like an unwritten rule to have baggy pants, double knee dickies are like the most common pants
@@lucasjoona2182 that's wild man, I guess none of the skaters near you shop at zumiez or west 49 lol

1:25
"Oh. Thanks. But I'm still taller than where your hand was"

No it’s about 5 feet just looks small on camera
Gavin Long then that would mean he’s about 8 ft standing

wow that 9 works very well, its just so easy to land on by comparison.
I think for my next board I will go 8.5 or above.
I started out on an 8.0 cause my friends recommended it struggled for weeks then i got a 7.75 and started progressing hella fast so bigger isn't always more easy

Started skate again after 26 years, now being 41, that was a month ago. Bought a 7.75 (5 year old daughter chose it). For a month felt like a hippo riding a chopstick. Landed ollies, scared to death cruising. Got a 10 inch. MUCH BETTER. So my tip for beginners? Buy a large board. You will do basic tricks, land safe, feel safe and gain confidence. After a few months/years if you progressed enough, ride something small. Even on this video, larger feels actually safer and Kyro is a pro.
Agreed. I learned on a large circa 1980's single tail board. When I decided to midlife crisis it up and reintroduce myself to the sport, pretty well all of the modern decks felt small to me. Eventually I would up going with a deck advertised as intended for longboarding, the 'cruiser' variety of mini longboard with a tail.
I rode an old school Valterra in the 80’s. My son has a 7.75 and I’m wanting to get back into riding, but yes, these newer boards feel tiny.
@@Cheesin31 I gradually came down to 9.6 (modern shape) which feels great.. I am tempted to try a 8.5, but every time I hit the road, I go back to m trusty Powell 10 inch fish shaped which is too relaxed and easy...
I'm ordering a 7.6. To late my budda, but iv'e skateboarded a 7.5 like 1 year ago, but I love the smaller boards. And I love to ride penny boards to
I was never into longboarding before, but after you go 35-40mph (with tight trucks!!) you get that adrenaline rush and start liking it.... that being said, I now have a 39" Landyachts Tomahawk double kick tail longboard added to my collection. I actually think I could take this to a skatepark and do some tricks.... but a 36" length double kick tail may actually feel better.
All I know is I was getting to old, too tall (6ft) and too top heavy (235lbs) to feel comfortable jumping 3 little steps on a small board.
6:10 the way he switches direction w out putting his feet down is insane to me

As a beginner I’m really loving riding a 7.75. I feel super comfortable and believe as I become more skilled it will only be more easier from there
Hellyeahhh you inspired me to switch from an 8 to a 7.75😎
I'm 5'6" I started on 7.5 when I was 12. I rode 7.75 for years just recently bought a complete 8.0 rode for a couple months now I have an 8.5 with venture stage 11 149s and it feels great I'm ready to get a 9 inch board next
if you are young, small and a beginner get a powell super light.. best board for young beginners, especially if you are shorter. to determine your board size, your shoe should fit perfectly around the curve of the tail. this way there isn't too much board for shoe, and too much shoe for board will result in drags and bad technique. trust me, i've skated since 2003 and i've got it down to a science. this guy is right its personal preference, but there has to be a margin for beginners, a system otherwise you'll end up thinking a skinny board is good and it can hold you back for years until you realize you should always have had a different one(as you witness here with this doofus, he realizes instantly he needs a bigger board) a proper board size will help your pop and catch, and how level you are in the air. no one cares about how fast you can flip your board and quick flips aren't important. remember we as skateboarders want to see the flip, thats why we do them… you want hang time. when was the last time a skater was loved for how fast he flipped? no, its his pop, catch and hang time that sets him apart, every time... truck size matters too(back in the day tensors were the best trucks to buy, but now they aren't what they used to be, i have the rodney mullen signatures, or magnesium sliders actually, and they are great, but the kingpin is too long, bushings are skinny though they still feel great...). get the standard wheel size 52mm. get generic wheels that the shop offers, no matter what people say, you don't need spitfires…(get the ugly tan/whitish color are the best, no dies in the rubber and they will last years) get bones reds bearings they are the best on the market and affordable, if you don;t have enough speed, get larger wheels but with looser trucks you'll make contact when turning more other wise try the bones swiss, ... never buy shoes too big or too small. get them just right and tight. shoes make all the difference. and you will be burning through shoes quicker than you grow so don't worry about 100$ shoes at first, you won't have the technique to know the difference. but get shoes with padding cause you will be hurting your feet if you don't. shoes that when you put them on should feel like walking on a cloud, avoid shoes that feel hard when you walk. vans used to be the best on the market, but they seriously went down hill, still i do recommend vans off the wall, tnt specifically were the best shoes to skate in.. but like i said don't compare anymore. (THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO AS A BEGINNER IS HAVE TOO LARGE OF SHOES FOR YOUR FEET AND TOO SKINNY OF A BOARD..i know from experience)
all that being said, avoid puddles of water or mud, don't step in water if you do make sure your shoes are dry before riding, stick to the dry cement. if you ride through water make sure you don;t leave your board sitting with wet wheels or bearings, they'll rust and seize up, a wet board will warp, crack and lose its pop, it will hold you back and can even cause you to injure yourself. try to stick to smooth pavement for ollies as this prolongs the tail and your pop. you need a new board when the tail starts changing shape from being worn away, this is usually when the pop dies. take care of your board and your board will take care of you. tight trucks help with learning to land, and stability riding down large hills. loose trucks are just fun, but too loose of trucks will cause your wheels to wear the board at the pivot point, and this wears down your wheels causing them to have a camber effect that looses stability. so rotate and flip your wheels every so often to nullify this. the only thing i can think of extra is when you put on your wheels, don't over tighten the bolts, they should be flush with the edges of the axle. . if you have more questions, then message me back. and remember always have fun, and respect your fellow skaters, we are a family grown from outcasts, we are all we have.
Quentin Kaalekahi its hard to say. a wider board will inhibit you in some ways to your proper shoe size unless you have the developed muscles. you aren't very tall, but with a size ten american shoe, i'd start you off with a 7.5 to 7.75. like i mentioned in my comment, the most perfect way i've ever found a board to suit me was with my shoe fitting around the tail specifically to the curvature. this allows an even amount of force when applied through an ollie. if you shoe doesn't fit your board how will your board fit you? when i started my first set up was a 7.5 super light powell, and i had size 13 shoe. it was fucking miserable. took me 6 months to learn to ollie because i had everything going against me. now i skate a size 11 shoe, and an 8 inch deck. big difference… just make sure those shoes fit like tights, but aren't too tight to cause pain. shoes should fit like a glove. the board should feel just right, and you will learn that with time. so in all, i'd say try a 7.5 so you can know what a too small board feels like then try a 7.75 for the next deck, and even an 8.0. i've had too large of boards and they never felt right. flip was too slow for my foot. when you hit the right size, trust me you will know...
hey do u think a 8.375 is too big to start with? im a uk6 and 5'4

I’m coming off of a 10 year hiatus. I used to ride a 7 7/8 but they’re hard to find in my local skate shop. So 8.13 to 8.25 is my go to these days. That feels nicer under foot especially after the hiatus. Switch tre was my test for that size. I just had to go for a skinnier wheel to get the scoop around
Awesome... thanks for the comparison between board sizes... cool video

I bought a 7,5 warehouse board online cuz I’m only 5ft tall.😂
I need a 8,5 inch board minimum and I 14 years old
can you guys please make a video about the different concaves of boards, I know its mainly up to preference but I would like to know what the differences are between a steep concave and flat board etc...
Im short so i rode a 7.5 but switched to an 8 and im happy with it. Everything you said makes sense.
I hate it when people reply to their own comment
+Juan A Diaz me too
+Juan A Diaz I know
+Reborn Vortexx it's like we are brothers
+Reborn Vortexx I totally think it's annoying.
+Johnny Smith I feel you bro.
Skated 7.75 for years and finally took my bros advice on giving an 8 a try and i dig it. Staying at 8 for sure. Wont go bigger that that.
I think the question stems from beginners lol. Bc if you’ve never had a board in your life you don’t have a preference yet lmaoo
@@ghazzy258 a regular skateboard my guy
@@ghazzy258 exactly brother 😂. To further explain, in this video the 7 through 8s are pretty much regular skateboards. The 9 is still a skateboard but with components of a cruiser board since it’s much bigger. (Btw, There are Cruiser boards, longboards, penny boards, etc.)
I ride an 8 and that is my preference, because anything under it feels to skinny and anything above it dramatically changes the way I skate
❤ great help guys ! I was definitely thinking about the whole foot size to board ratio ! But glad it doesn't work that way...
2:02 kid falls and walks it off with a mall grab.
xl istriker I don’t even understand how he fell 😂😂
Oof
Poor Ricardo, first this and then he gets rejected.
i think he was trying to ollie but his foot kinda heelflip and his leg stayed stretched out and slipped on the edge and grass
It's literally the most convenient way to hold a skateboard we are literally making skating harder by deeming mall grabbing as something a poser would do
i think 8" is the most balanced for street, park and vert
8 what ? Inches ?
@@alial7bsi623 yeah, " is inches
