I'm getting back into skateboarding after 15 years. 15 years ago I was wearing 9.5/10.5 US shoes and riding between an 8" to 8.125" board. Now I'm 29, 5'11" and wearing 12 US shoes. The other day I went to a skateboard shop to try getting a feel of the boards widths and 8" feels way to small now, even 8.38" feels a bit small. My fun is doing flip tricks mostly and small easy grinds on manual pads. I wonder if getting an 8.5" will ruin my fun since back then I was able to do high double flips and inward heelflips. Thanks for your help!
