Coming from a man nobody likes. Anyway if you got friends that skate try theirs. If it's comfortable get something like it.

It depends on what you're looking for. For doing tricks and some light skating around then really any shortboard would work. As far as decks go I don't have much of a preference, I try and really just go with something with style because really the deck doesn't make a big difference for the board. If you're going to do some cruising which is what I'm more into look into getting a long board. Right now I'm riding a Pocket Pistol Ditch Killer 44" and I love it, best board I've rode in a long time. I'd also look into a Sector 9 Luke Nosewalker or an Arbor Pin, they're the only longboards I've consistantly riden. But yea, longboarding is a good way to chill and cruise around on.

A) You can get most of all skateboards wide. Not just birdhouse. You can choose length, width, concave and all that. B) Element are light but only easy to break if you land wrong. Land on the bolts and it lasts you a while. |

Birdhouses are 'thicker' as you say because it'sslightly easier to handle doing Vert, the style that majority of B-House are attuned to, as well as Tony himself. Elements aren't 'lighter', just made slightlydifferent and with a lighter wood if I rememberright, more attuned for Street and Park skating. He could still very easily get an Element, itmore depends on what he plans to do while skating, if he's casuallyriding itdoesn't matterhow light the board is as all he'd be doing is riding around. But if he were to be learning tricks, Street most likely I'd still wouldn'tadvise the Elemnt as they are made for more advanced skaters (Because if you fuck up too much it will break), but it'd still be better than a B-House mostlikely. And as Kirk said You can in most cases get a board to your specification, and even in a shop they have different sizes, concaves and widths in the same graphic...at least good stores. I order thru CCS, so I get mine their default size...it fits me. I'd advise maybe going to www.ccs.com and checking them out. (To Sane). P.S. I've been skating for going on 11 years. Test me...and Kirk skates probably more than I do. We know our shit,

So I sound like a faggot because I actually proved your point and made a counter point. As far asI know that's called an 'intelligent discussion'. But to hell if I know anything.
