Best Skateboard size for size 8 feet?

So I’ve been looking into getting a good new board as the one I use at the moment is cracked and chipped everywhere as I have had it for quite a while. The board I have been looking at is an 8″ one of a kind custom but I mainly like to do flip tricks and I am now undecided as I have size 8 feet and currently using a 7.5″ my main problem is there is no skate shops in my area so I cannot really see what is best as I am in the UK there also isn’t too many options on the internet for customizability as I was looking at skatewarhouse.com I know the board I want main problem is it costs 62 dollars on top for international shipping and that also doesn’t include the taxes when picking it up and etc. Also if anyone knows a good trusted UK site that has an option to select your own parts and have it already built like skatewarehouse.com please link. Thanks in advance.

How to do skateboard tricks?

I’m 216 pounds I know how to ride my skateboard but no tricks, help. asl is a 20dollar skateboard trustworthy to work in a skatepar?

Well first you should start off with the ollie, it’s a trick which leads to kickflips, heelflips, etc. Place your back foot on the edge of the tail on your board, and place your front foot at least 2 inches away from the bolts. Now bend your knees and get ready to jump, and when you feel light on your board, pop the tail down with your back foot and bring your back leg right up to your chest. After you hear that snap, your foot should come right up off the board so it has room to get in the air. While you’re popping, you also have to slide your front foot up to level the board out, and then land it.
Watch videos on youtube and practice in grass or carpet before trying on cement. After you get the ollie down, then maybe learn the pop shuv-it or kickflip.
And the only cheap board that I can trust are Speed Demons. They are only $35, but the quality is just awesome. They almost feel like Plan Bs, and they hold up for a long time.
Good Luck!
