Why skaters like it
Posted in r/NewSkaters whenever a heavier beginner worries about weight, deck size or whether flip tricks are possible. It gives proof and motivation.

What skaters said on Reddit
Luis Mora has a video of his friend doing kickflip, varial flip, and 360 flip: LINK [VIDEO]
I recently saw this dude [VIDEO] and felt inspired. I used to weigh about 240 lbs and got down to about 150 lbs just last year, so I know how it feels.
[VIDEO] don't down yourself on weight bro you can do everything any other skater can with practice. You're on your way
A normalish size board (8-8.5 wide) should be ok. I'd just get one that looks cool for you in that size range tbh because that means you'll want to skate it more. At the start you really won't have a "preference" and the most important thing is to get comfy on the board. This guy is 270lbs and it looks like he's riding a normal sized board. [VIDEO] Enjoy!
