Hi guys
Im really looking forward to starting skating, and since half terms here soon, im gonna start then.
Iv been looking for a skateboard around £50, but after seeing some world industies boards for £55 and £65 each i thought id see what you though of them.

http://www.kateskates.co.uk/productdetails...p;x3=2142577888 - that ones a mini, 29" by 7.3"

http://www.kateskates.co.uk/productdetails...p;x3=2142577888 - and that ones a normal 31" by 7.5"

im not sure which one i should get, im a 14 year old, with size 6 feet and im pretty small for my age (less than 5 foot).
So which one should i get?
or one completely different?
Thanks alot for the help.

it doesn't rely matter, i'd get the 7.5 cos its a normal size and you're likely to grow, i shot up just after i turned 15 and besides it doesn't reli matter, i know somone who is tiny and he skate 7.75

ok thanks, i found this one as well http://www.kateskates.co.uk/productdetails...p;x3=2142577888
it has better trucks and wheels, but worse bearings. Which would be better do you think?

also would this be a suitable first skateboard, cheers.

get the first - it's cheaper and you're basically paying £5 more for a painted truck.

...Agreed, sounds klike the best option buddy!

Hi guys, i suggestes the second because i prefer the graphic.
If i can go the extra £5 should i?
or am i sacrificing quality, a quick reply is needed because im ordering tonite.
