I’m an 8.25 skateboard, what human should I buy?
A 6 foot tall potato
Smaller people manual better
Buy somebody taller so you can ollie high

As a reminder... while in the process of picking a size, please do not leave Ricardo hanging.
HAHAHAHA
Haha

poor ricardo 😂
Thou shalt not leave Ricardo hanging.

That's Ricardo, the kid that got left hanging...

@@xd_omino7270 WoW sO eDgY.
Honest experience: I started skating on a 7.75, it's amazing for learning flips and it's pretty light, so if you are new to skating, it's a nice start. At my peak I skated 8.25 when I jumped stairs or went on rails. Also it depends on the size of your feet. I'm an 11.5, and when I tried a 7.75 it was incredibly small and uncomfortable. Also the larger the size of the board the harder it is to break , which means less boards more money. But 7.75 would be amazing if for instance you are learning tricks, like underflips, nolie, switch, backside flips etc.
11.5? Your foot is fully in your board with even more space
i skate an 8.75 with size 8 shoes haha
@@Gzerod think again
@@wyatthunter987 I wear size 11 vans and just bought a 7.75 bc it was on sale for $10. Couldn’t pass up the deal
@@boreal8631 Srry I’m new to skate and I’m really struggling with the size of the skate now I’m size 7.5 and 8 shoes witch skate should I start with small or big ..?
When I first started to learn kickflips my front foot slipped on the landing and I bashed my board into my mouth so you might want to consider what flavor board you get as well... Cuz mine tasted like bleeding.😢🤕
Sean Michael why you lying tho
Bruh, u dont need teeth to skate.
Shit ok
Not Seb lying about what?
Someone r/whoosh please I don't want to do it
18 years ago, when I was 17, people made fun of me for skating an 8" board. "How can you skate such a big ass board?"
Now people still make fun of me for skating an 8" board but in a different direction. "How can you skate such a skinny board?"
I don't get it.
Well y'know back then skating smaller boards was the "trendy" thing . Skinny boards , baggy jeans , vhs tapes . Now it's all fat ass boards , skinny jeans , instagram stories . Times change . But IMHO 8 inches is probably the best size . Sure it doesn't flip like a 7.75 and it doesn't have the room an 8.25 has ... But it really gives you the best of both worlds .. And I'm skating a 7.75 . Sometimes this lack of 6 millimeters made me lose a trick and the fact that 7.75 flips like crazy has made some of my pop shove it and with the board trying to kill me
Office Chair todays skaters does not have skinny jeans. In my city it’s like a competition of who have the most baggy pants, my friend who should wear around size 30 jeans will buy like size 40 straight jeans with a belt on
@@lucasjoona2182 Really ? Here it's either skinny jeans or shorts . Well I'm not the kind of skater who wants to look like a skater . I skate with sweatpants because I feel comfortable moving .
Office Chair Yeah, You really should wear whatever you like and are comfortable with. But in my city it’s like an unwritten rule to have baggy pants, double knee dickies are like the most common pants
@@lucasjoona2182 that's wild man, I guess none of the skaters near you shop at zumiez or west 49 lol
I love how everyone respected him making his video. I also enjoyed watching the tricks and landings in the back lol. Thank you for all the information 😊
Size really is up to personal preference. I’m 5’1, size 6 women’s shoes and ride 8.5. But it’s what I’m comfortable with compared to the other sizes I’ve tried! Although I will admit the “that board is as big as you” comments never get old... really.
Board as big as you? My friend used to ride a 58inch (4'10) longboard!
You're an idiot if you're skating in 8.5 bored with a size 6 shoe.
I wear a size medium shirt, so what colour grip tape should I use?
light blue, but with green hardware
this is a really good question, i've always wondered this too
pink will accent how scrawny you are
+Brian Belcher And brown will accent all the shit that comes out your mouth.
Jacket why you mad? you wear a medium?
2:42 hello darkness my old friend
Lmao
reminder that you made the comment
Another reminder u made this comment
I recently got back into skating and bought a 8.25 but then found my old 7.75 in the attic.
I think I‘ll ride the 7.75 for now until my body has gotten stronger.
The smaller board works great to learn the technique without wearing me out as quick.
The 8.25 board feels like a heavy boat in comparison.
hi, can i know how tall are you? and what is ur shoe size? im new and kinda struggling to pick the size of my first skate
Just picked up a new 8.75" anti hero deck today, and I threw some of my old 8.75" Stage 11 Independent trucks, the standards not the hollows or titaniums. Also threw some 55mm Spitfire Formula 4 99 durometer wheels in the Classic shape. Big deck, big wheels, heavy independent trucks, that's what I like. It's not nimble, but this heavy setup will grind through the gnarliest, chunkiest street ledges, it maintains speed well when skating transition, and it rides over rough ground nicely due to the taller wheels and wider deck. It's not nimble, it's just a heavy duty street-crusher setup and I love it. These are the kinds of setups we skate here in the rough roads of southern Wisconsin.
How tall are you ?
I’m a 15 foot, 5 pound 110 year old who wears a size 7. What sandwich should I buy from subway.

Man, you were the most stable on the 9. I used to skateboard, 16 years ago. After watching a couple of videos of yours, I bought a nice 8.5, coming next week. Cannot w8 to get back to my youth. Gonna see what the "precise 3" (ollie, kickflip, heelflip) looks like after 16 years.
Thanks for the great content
50 years old, freestyle scooter rider for the past two years now getting my first board ever. Between this and another similar Braille video, I think I’m going to start with an 8.0, mainly to roll around the park after a scooter session. Looking simply roll well on a board, get comfortable and in control, and then learn even the simplest of tricks (and for reference, I’m 5’8”, wear a 9.5 sneaker, and usually rock white tee shirts from Costco!)
Good call
I'm 17 heading to area 51, what size alien should I get
brenballs123 😭😭😭😭
i would pick a small one to hang out with and stuff but if you want to have some action in your life, you should pick a tall one.
If you get a small one it can act as a backpack while you're skating on your 7.75 board

Loooooool
As a 52 year old beginner, I have an 8 and an 8.5 (picked them both up used on offer-up for $55 total).
I like to learn new things like dropping-in on my 8.5 due to the stability, and then later learn them on the 8.0.
Also, on my 8.5, the trucks are tighter and the wheels a bit slower.
I wear 12 sized shoes and my board is a 7.75, it feels like i can only get my toes on the board lol, i wanna pick up a 8.25 or something, but need to test all sizes first to see wich one i like most
@@b4sh936 you should go from 8.375 to 8.6, depends if u skate street or bowl
@@Wladeksk8 I do both, but more street. I still didnt bought a new skate but still rocking on the half an inch skate lol. And btw its a 7.5, not a 7.75
Props to you for doing something you like!
I changed from a 7.75 to an 8.0 and its taken my tricks to a professional level. real smooth and text book style clean.

Thank you so much for this informative video I'm 6'2 50 years old and my midlife crisis and instead of buying a car I picked up a skateboard. I went with an eight because my feet are 10 yeah so it looks like I made the right choice and I went with tensor those magnesium tensor trucks for for lightness and small hard wheels cuz I like to aren't you a little bit everything in mid size trucks and I learned all this stuff from you guys so thank you very much
2:42 R.I.P kid he tried to high five him be he either did't see him or ignored him for the vid

These days I go for the 7.75. But from the late 80's to late 90's, it was 7.25 deck w/ Indy 101 trucks.
I'm 5'6" I started on 7.5 when I was 12. I rode 7.75 for years just recently bought a complete 8.0 rode for a couple months now I have an 8.5 with venture stage 11 149s and it feels great I'm ready to get a 9 inch board next
I've literally had zero knowledge of skateboarding before I found this channel
Same dude
And yet I still don’t skateboard after finding this account! 😂
Honestly, I really want to skateboard but like I’m going to have to wrap myself with like 50 pillows. no matter how many videos I watch, there’s no way I’ll be able to keep my balance lol
Yeah same 👍🏽
@@spooks2170 I have no balance at all and start skateboarding at 21, the more u ride ur board and the more u have balance and the more u can try some tricks, I actually learning ollie and that's just tryhard honestly

Great video ta. I'm coming from using a Penny Nickel so any one of those will seem wide!!
Thinking of going with a 9 as I learned on a fish shaped board back in the late 80's and that is 10" across!
So...great video thanks.
2:04 lmao the kid behind him really trys to play it out like he was just sitting down
haha
Lol
damn I just need to watch it over and over hahaha
Act cool... act cool... nobody saw me...
and a few moments later he tries high-fiving the guy and plays it out as a wave when he gets denied, not his day
skate a tech deck dude, best pop
+Garf2O yeah man im running that ryan sheckler pro deck

yeah i got that prod deck my switch game has never been better
yeah i sent an ollie over my pet fish to primitive
Darude- sandstorm
Gammak
dude if your pet fish is a shark then you would be pro in 3-5 business days
started on a 7,5" board then switched to a 8" Board and now i skate a 8.5" board and finally feel i have come to an end. In my humble opinion 8.5" is the perfect balance between all thing you wanna do. enough space to ride it vert and street and still slim enough so you can do every flip trick kind of easy :)
I guess if you want one board to rule them all. You could go down the route of 2 boards but I feel like sticking to one board would be more beneficial as you know exactly how it behaves.
I’m coming off of a 10 year hiatus. I used to ride a 7 7/8 but they’re hard to find in my local skate shop. So 8.13 to 8.25 is my go to these days. That feels nicer under foot especially after the hiatus. Switch tre was my test for that size. I just had to go for a skinnier wheel to get the scoop around
2:02 I love how this kid knew hes on the camera so he tried to show off and after he failed, he act like he was just about to sit down.
Right bros hella funny
I'm disabled, what size wheel chair should I use

loved this so much, thanks dude. Found it hard to find such a great comparison like this!
1:30 I hope he knows that 5’0 is taller than that...
Hahahaha fr
its not
I’m pretty sure he right and his hand would be close to a 5 feet person if he was standing
He has so much control on his board that's amazing! the way he resets after every trick is sending me!
I have a small skate, so what sized shoe should I foot
I had a stroke reading that

Yes
About to start skating again after 10+ year break to play music full time. Can’t wait to get back out there. Thanks for the video dude
wow that 9 works very well, its just so easy to land on by comparison.
I think for my next board I will go 8.5 or above.
I started out on an 8.0 cause my friends recommended it struggled for weeks then i got a 7.75 and started progressing hella fast so bigger isn't always more easy
squishyboy 11 how old are you?
@@dontleavethemilkout8514 15
squishyboy 11 and you could do tricks and everything?
@@dontleavethemilkout8514 yeah a 7.75 feels ways lighter so its easier to control
This actually helped me lmao I’m 15 too and I’m still deciding if I should get a 7.75 or a 8 and this kind of helped me a little bit
Started skate again after 26 years, now being 41, that was a month ago. Bought a 7.75 (5 year old daughter chose it). For a month felt like a hippo riding a chopstick. Landed ollies, scared to death cruising. Got a 10 inch. MUCH BETTER. So my tip for beginners? Buy a large board. You will do basic tricks, land safe, feel safe and gain confidence. After a few months/years if you progressed enough, ride something small. Even on this video, larger feels actually safer and Kyro is a pro.
Agreed. I learned on a large circa 1980's single tail board. When I decided to midlife crisis it up and reintroduce myself to the sport, pretty well all of the modern decks felt small to me. Eventually I would up going with a deck advertised as intended for longboarding, the 'cruiser' variety of mini longboard with a tail.
I rode an old school Valterra in the 80’s. My son has a 7.75 and I’m wanting to get back into riding, but yes, these newer boards feel tiny.
@@Cheesin31 I gradually came down to 9.6 (modern shape) which feels great.. I am tempted to try a 8.5, but every time I hit the road, I go back to m trusty Powell 10 inch fish shaped which is too relaxed and easy...
I'm ordering a 7.6. To late my budda, but iv'e skateboarded a 7.5 like 1 year ago, but I love the smaller boards. And I love to ride penny boards to
I was never into longboarding before, but after you go 35-40mph (with tight trucks!!) you get that adrenaline rush and start liking it.... that being said, I now have a 39" Landyachts Tomahawk double kick tail longboard added to my collection. I actually think I could take this to a skatepark and do some tricks.... but a 36" length double kick tail may actually feel better.
All I know is I was getting to old, too tall (6ft) and too top heavy (235lbs) to feel comfortable jumping 3 little steps on a small board.
This was helpful seeing the skateboards compared to the size of you. Cuz im a abnormally large male, and I need a big board but I'm afraid of going too big.
I found that very helpful to see the size difference between the boards at the same time. Great Video!
I'm a Sagittarius, my favorite ice cream is chocolate, I'm 2 in dog years... what size board should i be riding on?

Skated for like 6 months when I was 11. Got a deck when I was 29 and been skating about 18months. 80s crew represent!
As a beginner I’m really loving riding a 7.75. I feel super comfortable and believe as I become more skilled it will only be more easier from there
Bruuh i love your Chanel. I have been skateing for 10 years as a kid. I want to have another go now as 30 yr. And I was really not sure what to ride. So this help alot! Going for an 8 🙏👍💪
❤ great help guys ! I was definitely thinking about the whole foot size to board ratio ! But glad it doesn't work that way...
Theres a small skating ghost, slightly pushing the 9" deck at the beginning!!!
Braillehouse ghost origins episode right here
@@brailleskateboarding Hello mate
if you are young, small and a beginner get a powell super light.. best board for young beginners, especially if you are shorter. to determine your board size, your shoe should fit perfectly around the curve of the tail. this way there isn't too much board for shoe, and too much shoe for board will result in drags and bad technique. trust me, i've skated since 2003 and i've got it down to a science. this guy is right its personal preference, but there has to be a margin for beginners, a system otherwise you'll end up thinking a skinny board is good and it can hold you back for years until you realize you should always have had a different one(as you witness here with this doofus, he realizes instantly he needs a bigger board) a proper board size will help your pop and catch, and how level you are in the air. no one cares about how fast you can flip your board and quick flips aren't important. remember we as skateboarders want to see the flip, thats why we do them… you want hang time. when was the last time a skater was loved for how fast he flipped? no, its his pop, catch and hang time that sets him apart, every time... truck size matters too(back in the day tensors were the best trucks to buy, but now they aren't what they used to be, i have the rodney mullen signatures, or magnesium sliders actually, and they are great, but the kingpin is too long, bushings are skinny though they still feel great...). get the standard wheel size 52mm. get generic wheels that the shop offers, no matter what people say, you don't need spitfires…(get the ugly tan/whitish color are the best, no dies in the rubber and they will last years) get bones reds bearings they are the best on the market and affordable, if you don;t have enough speed, get larger wheels but with looser trucks you'll make contact when turning more other wise try the bones swiss, ... never buy shoes too big or too small. get them just right and tight. shoes make all the difference. and you will be burning through shoes quicker than you grow so don't worry about 100$ shoes at first, you won't have the technique to know the difference. but get shoes with padding cause you will be hurting your feet if you don't. shoes that when you put them on should feel like walking on a cloud, avoid shoes that feel hard when you walk. vans used to be the best on the market, but they seriously went down hill, still i do recommend vans off the wall, tnt specifically were the best shoes to skate in.. but like i said don't compare anymore. (THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO AS A BEGINNER IS HAVE TOO LARGE OF SHOES FOR YOUR FEET AND TOO SKINNY OF A BOARD..i know from experience)
all that being said, avoid puddles of water or mud, don't step in water if you do make sure your shoes are dry before riding, stick to the dry cement. if you ride through water make sure you don;t leave your board sitting with wet wheels or bearings, they'll rust and seize up, a wet board will warp, crack and lose its pop, it will hold you back and can even cause you to injure yourself. try to stick to smooth pavement for ollies as this prolongs the tail and your pop. you need a new board when the tail starts changing shape from being worn away, this is usually when the pop dies. take care of your board and your board will take care of you. tight trucks help with learning to land, and stability riding down large hills. loose trucks are just fun, but too loose of trucks will cause your wheels to wear the board at the pivot point, and this wears down your wheels causing them to have a camber effect that looses stability. so rotate and flip your wheels every so often to nullify this. the only thing i can think of extra is when you put on your wheels, don't over tighten the bolts, they should be flush with the edges of the axle. . if you have more questions, then message me back. and remember always have fun, and respect your fellow skaters, we are a family grown from outcasts, we are all we have.
Quentin Kaalekahi its hard to say. a wider board will inhibit you in some ways to your proper shoe size unless you have the developed muscles. you aren't very tall, but with a size ten american shoe, i'd start you off with a 7.5 to 7.75. like i mentioned in my comment, the most perfect way i've ever found a board to suit me was with my shoe fitting around the tail specifically to the curvature. this allows an even amount of force when applied through an ollie. if you shoe doesn't fit your board how will your board fit you? when i started my first set up was a 7.5 super light powell, and i had size 13 shoe. it was fucking miserable. took me 6 months to learn to ollie because i had everything going against me. now i skate a size 11 shoe, and an 8 inch deck. big difference… just make sure those shoes fit like tights, but aren't too tight to cause pain. shoes should fit like a glove. the board should feel just right, and you will learn that with time. so in all, i'd say try a 7.5 so you can know what a too small board feels like then try a 7.75 for the next deck, and even an 8.0. i've had too large of boards and they never felt right. flip was too slow for my foot. when you hit the right size, trust me you will know...
hey do u think a 8.375 is too big to start with? im a uk6 and 5'4

i love this because i have massive feet and am 6 feet tall but learned to skate on a plastic mini cruiser. most of the times i was stepping off to push was to catch my balance lol. i really only skate to cruise so it was fine. i have a big 8.7in complete coming on wednesday that i put cruiser wheels on so maybe i could learn ollies and manual stuff now that im getting an actual board. wish me luch
this is prolly the most useful vid for people lookin to buy a board for the first time, great work bro.

Def family pack
Yes

Mate, buy an ambulance and standby medical team. (I'm 56 and old school too, been thinking about getting back on a board but it might end up being a mortuary board!)
I skated 7.825 for like a decade, took a few-year hiatus, and when I came back... everyone was skating like 8.5's and stuff.
I genuinely tried for like 4 years to skate bigger boards (8.25, 8.125 etc.), but, eventually, every time I got a new deck, I found myself going with smaller and smaller sized boards. As nice as it is to have a board that's easier to land on, you just have so much more control with flip tricks on skinnier decks... which, with me and my skating, is just more fun.
(SHRUGS SHOULDERS)
But yeah... it's just personal preference.
Im short so i rode a 7.5 but switched to an 8 and im happy with it. Everything you said makes sense.
I'm sticking with 10+ inches ever since I went with that 10.34" Dope Planet deck.
The ride is so much smoother and I don't feel like I'm cruising on a tightrope.
Skated 7.75 for years and finally took my bros advice on giving an 8 a try and i dig it. Staying at 8 for sure. Wont go bigger that that.
Luckily I'm getting a skateboard tomorrow thanks for trick and tips it's my first time watching your videos and maybe I'm your hugest fan
Back on the late 80s. It were either a Mini Street deck, or the Ramp (double front truck hole option).
Then, truck width and wheel size.

What people I have seen dont realize, is that if you skate a thinner board than what you are used to or even too big for, it will train your balance and precision to the point that when you grab a bigger board, you will be able to land tricks much easier due to the greater surface area of the board and your training on a smaller general center of gravity..... As Aaron says, the bigger the board, the more surface area you have to land, HOWEVER, more power or force is needed to move the board.... Interesting stuff..
when i first started out i had a friend teach me and he insisted i bought a 7.75 to learn on because of this
if you're a short skater with size 6-8.5 shoes i heavily recommend 7.75 or 8. easier to pop, lighter and better feel.
EDIT: No longer replying, feel free to use this as reference:
If you're tall, Get anything above 8.0
If you have big feet get anything 8.25 and above
If you're short, stick to 8.0 and 7.75
If you have small feet stick to 7.75
What about a size 4..? I’m pretty short(4’10 lmao) what size skateboard though? I’m a girl too if that changes anything
@@sandyyyyyvv well boards are usually measured for men so translate 4 women into 4 mens; That would be a size 2 shoe meaning youd be safe on a 7.5 or a 7.75. if the measurement you gave me was a mans size the same applies but lean more heavy towards the 7.75.
Flamingo Mints thank you sm!!
Hey you seem to know a lot can you help me out too ? I’m a beginner and I’m size woman’s 9.5 or men’s 8 . I’m also 5,5 . Thanks !
@@spider2765 An 8.0 deck or an 8.25 deck would be your best bet, although 8.0 would be the optimal one for your small stature, an 8.25 is a small bit wider if you intend to do ramps and cruise more than tricks.
i'm a Leo and i drive a honda civic, my favorite food is pizza. what size wheels should i get on my roller blades?
people will mock you for this but they don't even know the hardest part about inline skating, telling your family your gay.

i unknowingly bought an 8.25 years (and years) ago because i loved the graphic (world industries) and my pop game drastically improved, especially once i went back to a skinnier deck
Always love braille 5 year ago videos but love the new one too
I’m normally an 8 rider, I like the balance in that size but I recently moved to a 7.5 cause I’m waiting on my custom made board and man 7.5 is hell 💀 I literally had to learn all my tricks differently, foot positioning, the strength it takes is different. And landing is significantly more difficult. But it’s a fun experience
I loved the 7.75 when I was 13. Then I moved to an 8 and then 8.25 because I wear a size 13 in shoes. The 8 is so much easier to flip, but I still like the 8.25 more
Old-school 10" boards. So much cooler looking than the little popsicle boards. And depending on your setup, they can double as comfy cruiser boards.
I ride a 9.6 inch Board and it's work really well (transation ,flip Tricks)

When you attempt a natas spin and you where definitely not ready.
Omg I’m done 😂😂😂
If you’re a beginner go for 7.75 and 8.0 board. If you need more weight after becoming more advanced move up in size - don’t start out with a board you can hardly move - from a beginner , have fun 😊
Do you still skate?
I started off with a 7.775 then to 8.0 then 8.125. My 8.125 was when I began being serious at skating and after a few years felt too small. I got an 8.25 yesterday feels great so far.
