Talking ok..i dont have a clue about what kind to get..

Hey there!
Im new at skating, and i need to get a new board, but i dont even kno where to start. I basically need a good starting board, i think the one i have now is the wrong size, it feels to thick, and its a piece of crap.

This is what i would like:
a lightweight, but not breakable deck
blank or design (something maybe not too boyish)
good for riding and doing ollies
normal baord...no long boards

What i need to kno:
Brands
Size/thickness
any other info u think i should kno
your favorites (opt.)

Thanks a bunch!

Sarah

Just buy a blank from any shop, they're cheap and dependable, and usually have pretty good shape. And if you dont like it being blank, then buy some stickers or something and slap em on it.

All decks are more or less the same weight, no matter the trucks.

I wouldn't get shorty's. They tend to be heavy. I don't know why. And don't get those element 9 ply decks.
