Freestyle skateboard setup help?

pretty sure you already asked this question, deck size is personal preferance 7.75 is about at max you want for a street deck. I wear a size 11 shoe and like the 7.625 decks, shoe size has nothing to do with it. 129 and 139 both work on a 7.75 deck 129 is mostly for 7.5-7.625 but also fits great on a 7.75, not that much of a differance from a 7.6 about a 1/4 of an inch doesn't make much differance it's mostly whats comfortable on your feet. 99a/101a are not for street that's the hardest wheels can get and you want soft wheels...google it if you arn't super sure and you'll see. 80's to mid 90's is good for street, soft wheels and med size(53mm-55mm) is what you want for street. Street skating is all I really ever do and have done for 18 years. doing a lot of freestyle and grinds you'll want a good truck setup. most light trucks arn't going to take the abuse of all that, indy's, grind kings, ventures are some great trucks for doing freestyle, flat land and grind tricks. bones reds are grat you can also check out pig checkers or some lucky's abec 7's. these take a bit more to break in but once they are they'll last a long time and take all kinds of abuse.
