53mm i like street and they are about a good size to do both street and vert. I haven't skated much vert in a while.

52 on the street and 57 in the park. Flips are harder on 57s so thats why the 52s help out.

^^^exactly what he rides. 52-53mm are the best. They will last a good amount of time and they are the right height.
