Hey ns,

I know a lot of you skate and was wondering if you skate on 5boro...

right now i'm looking at there vhs series in either an 8.125 or an 8.25 width, but i can't find a review of how they ride... i'll mostly be riding pools and some mini ramps. Thanks for the suggestions

Idk about 5boro but generally wider for pools and ramps so I'd pick the 8.25

Great brand to support. They have brought a shit load of kids up off the east coast and sent them west to go fulfill the dream of skateboarders around the world. They keep it real, the boards are good, but most importantly it's a company that has kept it's roots in skateboarding. Buy their board and support them for sure.

And for your time here is two video parts of brandon westgate. One when he was a young ripper on 5boro and a recent one he did for emerica.
