Hi iv got a blade 4 4.9 iv had it or about a month now, iv been using it for jumps and slidding on my arce really and now i really wanna get into boarding. iv been looking at some boards but dont really know what im looking for.

can any one advise me on what board is good to start out with. im looking to spend around £120 - £180

thanks.

I picked up Pablo's MBS Blade mountian board after he found it a good tool for learning. I think he was right because I'm also finding it very learner friendly. It's big and heavy. Not a good thing for a seasoned rider but working very well for learning. It's weight is a big asset right now because I'm so light. It's size makes it easier to hold back when I would have gone over the front of smaller lighter boards I've tinkered with. It's the most beginner friendly board I've fallen off of by far !

First buy a cheap board so that you now that boarding is for you. theres no point buying a £200 board and then think 'i dnt like this ill buy a buggy' nd only get half the money back

I agree about picking up a cheap board you expect to pass on.
Paul gave the board away at $200 cdn. It's built super tough and I expect to be able to pass it on without too much depreciation or too much trouble. :bird: :bird:

i suggest a Flexdeck, its what i started out with and i love it so much ive kept it all these 5 years!

Currently riding a GI Patrol 106, love it to bits, I'm a big guy as well and so far it's taken everything I've thrown at it. Carves nice, takes landings from a 250lb guy from 5 ft up no problem.

i maybe selling my kheo fx with adjustable suspension

second hand is definitely the way to go!!!!

You can get a board which doesnt way 16kg, and you can get it cheap.

You can spend under 90 pounds on a ultimately cheap board, or get a good board 2nd hand which may be a bit beaten up.

just go for a board which has a reasonable RRP - wether u get it for that or not.

I'd recommend going to shops and standing on boards, get a feel for them. Try friends boards. etc.

One advantage to buying a Flexideck, is from my experience is they dont loose much value.

I am also looking for a board but...
What is the best type of landboard to get??
i have seen them with suspension

Thats not really suspention, its a steering mechanism, much like the skate-truck kinda design.

It makes little difference when you're starting out
