Some Advice For My New Board

[SK84L1F3]

Ok so I have been skating for a little over a year and am still skating on my first board. I am tired of my Element board (ya i know everyone hates element) and its losing a ton of pop. so moving on

I skate mostly street and love flip tricks and a little park every once in a while, i want something that will last a while and wont snap easily, and the only thing i liked about the element was the weight it's lighter than most of my friends boards so i would like a light board. I also have heard that more concave makes the board easier to control in the air and was wondering if that was true (my board has very little concave). I have fairly big feet about a size 11 so the thinner boards are probably not a good idea. and if someone could tell me if board width affects the spin (or "flip") of the board

All help would be appreciated I am open to any brand, really dont care if Ive never heard of it as long as it meets my specifications, and I can get it at my local skate shop (its a pretty big shop) and not online as i need it ASAP and dont want to pay shipping.

Thanks Guys

I have 10.5 shoes and I skate 7.625, its really not a big deal.
if you want concave i would try a Zoo York.

go to the shop, look at all the decks and pick the best one for you. its all an opinon. people on this site will tell you OH GO WITH THIS BRAND ITS SO GOOD!!!11!. but its all what you prefer.

[Word Life]

well yeah since its only your second board and your first one was an element you should be still testing boards and seeing what you would most prefer.

just go to the shop and see what board you like, everyone who responds to this is just going to tell you what board they like the most

Go to the shop and see what board you like.

Well if you liked your Element then get another one of those if you can't find anything else that meet your specifications. And who cares if others hate Element? Get what you want.

Just get a board you like. Ive been using the board since last week but I have had it since.... let me thing.... I was 5 when I FOUND it at a park and now im 12....7 years with the board and when I found it it was all busted. So yeah lol.... Get a board that works and looks cool.

[SK84L1F3]

well thanks for all of your help guys, i went to my local shop and talked to the guy there, he suggested an Almost 8 Ply haslam model and i got that one, its about the same weight as my element but i like the shape and the feel of it alot better

[the hippie down the road]

get a baker

[rock_emerica]

[mysteryskater7]

get a habitat

[bentheidiot91]

he has already got an almost board in response to the last 3 posts.

well, i would recommend a habitat bamboo, but just go to your shop and check some decks out, find one that has a good feel, and shoe size doesnt really matter, i wear 13's and all i have skated is 7.5's (except a 7.75 blank, and i didnt like the width)

just go to your shop and check out what you like,i dont know if anyone else thinks this, but i find when i buy another deck by the same brand name its never like what i had the time before
