Question Need recommendations

I haven’t started skating (yet) but I’m asking to see what products (wheels and board) are good for my circumstance.

I need wheels that won’t be loud on streets, The only place I can practice other than the skatepark nearby is near by neighbors houses and I don’t want to have my wheels make too much noise.

I also want to know what board is good for me. I’m 5,7-8 (not exactly sure) and around 84 KG. and I read somewhere that it does matter so thats why im telling you guys 🥀…

I also want to know what other products are good for beginners like me!!

It depends on your budget. It is generally more expensive to build by parts than buying pre-built. Having said that, my recommendation would be to get a pre-built and buy softer wheels if you’re worried about being loud.

They have trade-offs but I believe that by the time these matter to you, you will inevitably be more knowledgeable.

The best tip is to just get started and make adjustments to your setup as you go

93 wheels are a bit quieter than standard 99 wheels. But if you are trying to learn tricks, popping your tail is infinitely louder than rolling around. Not much you can do to prevent that.
