Get a Flaked, I love mine.

Basically, you should think about what you don't like about your Flatface + Berlinwood and buy to suit your needs. Think about the width being too big/small, length too long/short, kick sizes, concaves, asymmetry, wheelbase, kick roundness, kick heights, deck weight...

As for wide decks, my personal preference are Kulture 29mms.

If you're after skinny decks, Close Up or Pure.

Does better gear make it easier to do tricks?

I only have a tech deck right now and I can ollie pretty well but I can't flip it worth shit.

I'm just wondering if it will be easier to learn on a better setup?

I thought it was alot easyer when i got my first wooden fingerboard

Yeah like I can ollie up onto things and grind but I have no control over my flips... I'm using a wooden tech deck with plastic tech deck style trucks and wheels because the competition wheels pop off all the time.

I've got a china fingerboard on the way with ball bearing wheels and a bigger deck with bigger kicks and some concave.

I'm gonna get a Redemption deck next I think.

Thanks for all the answers you guys!

Y'all the best :3

Edit:

New question... I find I can't get enough pop out of my tech decks... Are regular kicks on a real fingerboard higher than tech deck kicks? Or should I go for medium - high kicks?

delete me

Dont double post!! Edit the original and it depends usually the seller will say high kicks or medium kicks etc..
Get a lighter heat your tech deck an raise the tail and nose to your preference

Max, yes, you should go with medium/high kicks if you're TD kicks were too low for you. If you get mellow kicks you might find they aren't high enough.

so ive used flatface g6a's for half a year with the wheel washer on, and i recently heard a weird sound coming from it, i took them off and saw they the washer bit into the wheel and i can see the back of the bearing... so i tried to use the wheels without washers and they rolled great without that weird sound , is it actually better to use wheels without putting in washers?

I don't use any washers in all of my setups. and it works fine.

I think it depends on the wheel model, whether you use them on the inside, outside of the wheel or both and also the truck model.

Some of my previous setups:
BRT 2.0s + Winkler BRT edition wheels... no washers needed.
Ytrucks X3 + Oak wheels... washers recommended.
Close Up G4 trucks + Close Up bearing wheels... dual microwashers on back, wheel washer in front (although front one is optional).
China trucks + Substance Ivory... front washers only.

Ok so I shipped a package out to someone and they got it in 2 days. I shipped another out to Mikko and he still hasn't gotten it and I shipped it last wendnesday. Should I expect it to show up to him? Or send him another one? If it helps I shipped it the cheapest way so I guess that could slow it down?

If he is out of the US it may take up to 2 weeks.

i'm going to the Nurburgring in germany soon (its a famous race track, my family are car enthusiasts) and i'm allowed to visit a fingerboard store if it is near by. SO, does anyone know of any fingerboard shops in germany other than broken bones and blackriver store berlin?

would be massively grateful if you could maybe send me a google maps link, cheers

BTW this is where the nurburgring itself is on google map if it helps
Google Maps link

Nope

Quick question guys, maybe you'll find it weird & silly. On a park/table while standing, does height matters when FB'ing? Is it much better seshing on a table that's taller than your waist line?
