Skateboarders Help Please!!!!?

Question

Okay so I need help with the measurement of skateboards. So I already have an "8x31" skateboard and its too difficult to pop or do an ollie on. So I was wondering if anyone knows what measurement I should get that would make it easy to ollie and do tricks on. Thnx!!!

Answer 1

8 and up is usually  used for vert skating if you need something for skate i suggest a 7.5 or a 7.75 they are great for street

Answer 2

8's are usually for vert for stability. 7.5's are are for easier flippage mostly for flip tricks. And 7.75's are a mix of both stability and easy flip tricks so it depends on what you want to do. I use 7.75's for my street skating, they work. Also check out
