What size was the alien workshop board? I went from a 7.8(i think) up to an 8 and it actually was worse.. I was use to skating skinny boards for nearly 9 years and then I went to one a tiny bit bigger and I just cant skate it now.. had to go back to the skinnys

Just a thought you should have..

Saying that I would go for the girl board myself!

Skated a few slave decks lately and i've been really into them.


The Plan B decks are mad poppy and pretty nice.
Girl decks i use to love but i've gone off them lately, they seem to be slipping a little, quite the same way that Alien Workshop have really let themself go.
Mine lasted me two weeks like, and my mate had one that lasted him about 3. They're definitely doing something wrong.

Also like these.

my old AW board was 7.69, so i dunno if i should go such a jump? i have big feet too which the 8.00 might be better for, im a size 12 lik. im ordering them today so i need advice asap...also do ya no wat the concave on planB and girl are like compared to Aw's?are dey shallow or wat?

If your going anything over an 8" you might need wider trucks to balance it out like, mine were small on my 8" and it looked really weird :pac:

roguey

yeah, dont think im gonna go with the 8.00" now so, gonna go with maybe a 7.75, its a bit bigger than my Aw but no too much so i can sorta build up bigger and bigger til i feel comfortable with the size

CianRyan

8" in generally the nicest size for people with bigger feet, 8.25 is just mental and feels like arse, so I'd stay away from that

The AW decks have like hardly any concave, the girls are pretty much on par with them.
Girl are better, but not much better.

roguey

thats good cause i liked the concave on my AW, im gettin thisone now though, deffo http://shop.wreckless.ie/girl-mike-beavmo-deck-7875-p-2747.html cause its inbetween my AW and an 8.00"

I haven't touched a skateboard in about three years, I can't remember how wide my last deck was. What's the average board width for starting out fresh? 7.75? I wear size 10 shoes

CianRyan

7.75" to 8" would be perfect, i wear size tens myself and i use an 8".

definitely nothing wrong with riding a girl board, sometimes the graffix are a better too (although they can also be much, much worse, too!)
