hey guys im 5'10 170 and my mom got me a 39 byerly. to be honest she didnt know what she was getting me and got this for a discount price because of some grip tape damage. i was wondering, even though its a 39. it still is a really thick skate what effects would this have? compaired to going to a 42
the 39 is going to be easier to throw around. the 42 would give you more surface area for a wider stance and also more room for error when catching the board. you should be fine with the 39. its not a true 39" board its really bigger. its weird.
the skate is thick because it has exagerated concave. it gives you increased leverage for edging and for ollies. some people find it extremely awkward will others dig it.
Hey jason i am 6'1 and 175 and i wouldnt want the 42 too big, if you are a previous skater the 39 is amazing ive ridden a few byerly boards and the legacy 39 by far is a insane skate feel wakeskate
hey im grant, today i rode my friends 39 byerly, i was able to get great pop on pop shuvs, 180s, and inside out shuvs and 180s, i am curious how much differetn is the bigger board??
