What's a good skateboard deck size for me?
I ride 8,5 shoes and I wonder what a good deck size is.

Skateboarding is all about experimentation. Try out a few different brands/sizes over the next few months. See what you like best. If I were to give you a suggestion, however, I would say try something a little smaller. Maybe try an 8.

Start with a 8', then decide if it's too large or not

I use to ride 7'75, then try a 8'. I found 7'75 easier to flip tricks and all, but 8' are better for grind and general feelings.
I also tryed larger deck, don't like them cause I found them to heavy (cause of larger trucks, so more metal). But they're more suitable for bowl and ramps (I'm a street skater, don't like ramp and bowl too wink )

There also the trucks high that can come into play. I love tensor low slider, with 52-53 wheels, but you need to have strong ankle or you'll get a lot of wheel bits (happen to me yesterday when I want to skate for 15 minutes).

So my recommandation : Deck 8', Independent truck 129 (high) and and set of powell wheels in 53 or 54 : you'll get a good overall skateboarding
