What size skateboard is good for flip tricks?
There is this Girl skateboard that im getting and its an 8.00. Im a shoe size 4.5 and want to do flip tricks. Is size 8.00 good for flip tricks?
smaller board such 7.6 or 7.5 make your flip tricks flip easier and faster.
bigger sizes such as 8.0 or 8.2 make you flip tricks slightly harder but makes them look alot cooler.
if you want to be just in the middle get a 7.75, thats what i ride and its just perfect.
by the way since you have a small foot you should get a smaller board until you get you flip tricks down. then you can increase your size.

an 8.0 is way to big for that shoe size.
your best bet is a 7.5

4.5 in girls? Idk either way stand on the and your heel and toe should over hang the deck about 1/4" on both ends. I wear 12 and I still used a zero 7.5 the only bitch about that finding trucks that fit flush are hard to come by but fit I always used was venture lites so keep those trucks tight or you’ll stall your wheels on landings. But if you don’t know what size of board to flip tricks on IDE try to Ollie for the first year cause that’s about how long it rakes to perfect it then try a kick flip or gonna eat asphalt lol.

Well if your shoe size is 4.5, I’m guessing that your a kid (in no offense at all). So, I would go with something between 7.25(quite small) and 7.5(should be alright for you).

I think like 7.5 – 7.7 for flip tricks but if your size is 4.5 get 7.5 and if you have 8.0 its really heavy and its hard to get the board flip so just get 7.5 i have personally 7.625 and its good i use to have 7.5 when my shoe size was bigger than yours and i learned kickflips with it.
