Is 8.9 good for street skateboarding?

Answer 1

if you like that size. i would suggest going to an 8.5, then work your way down to a size between 7.25-8.50. It really doesn't matter but most skateboard companies don't make skateboards in the extreme sizes. And the cooler designs are in the 7 inch sizes.

Answer 2

Sure, it all depends what your comfortable skating on.
