i was thinking of a pi and an enjoi? are those good choices?

For flip tricks you'll want a narrow deck like something from 7.5-7.8, I use at least a 7.75 deck with size 10.5 shoes, works great. enjoy is a good brand, get their resin 7 deck for a lighter more durable deck it's made using a special resin that is lighter than normal stuff keeping the deck light and durable with 7 plys. smaller wheels like 50mm-54mm are good, if you use small wheels and low trucks you'll need some riser pads. Low trucks also help with flip tricks keeping yo ulow to the ground.

i need a website with
1.trick name
2.description on how to do the trick
3.a video of a person doing the trick
(dont need the 3rd one but would help if you got one)

ya that's easy

Skateboard-city.com

I know one is bigger but what does it do to the board itself? does it turn wider or something?

The turning will be wider, if you have a long board, your wheels will rub if your trucks aren't long enough, if you have real long trucks on a reg. board, it will be harder to do flip tricks. You just need to make sure your wheels dont bite your board.

Ive always been a Toy Machine rider, but I saw that flip has a 7.06×28.57 board which is awesome because i love smaller decks. My question is that are Flip decks heavy or light and does it have good pop.

dn't even get me started on flip.. the pop is sick, they r really good grinding boards, make sure u put risers on them tho bcz my tail on the bottom has got a lil' wore out they r realy light and strongi would get a flip over an element any day they flip smooth too

i want to buy a old school skateboard but im not sure wat kind i should get and whcich web site to get it at
