I've been thinking about trying to pick up some skateboarding over the summer. What's a good size board/wheels/whatever to start with for street skating? (I'm about 5'6, 140 lbs.)

Or are they all pretty much they same? I just don't want to get the skateboard equivalent of DH skis to start with.

 
i've been skating a while, and i've decided that all decks are practically the same. just get any 7-ply maple deck. I use 7.75 by around 31. narrower boards are easier to flip. then get some good bearings because those are important. then just throw the other parts on and call it good.

get a wide board with a lot of pop. i'd recommend an element.

element, nice pop

Chris Knight : So, if there's anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know.

Susan : Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?

Chris Knight : Not right now.

Susan : A girl's gotta have her standards.
