Help choosing a deck and its measurements?

Im new here so bear with me. I'm 6'0 225 pounds with a 12 mens US shoe. and i was wondering what deck would be good for park and some grinding. But mainly for tricks like Butter cups and whip tricks scooter flips and stuff like that. i was considering maybe a Hep Greg Tsi deck because it has 15.25 foot space and has an 83 degree tube for my 24 inch bars with scs but a 20.6 seems kinda small? but the dan holm deck seemed longer and i do have huge feet. but it has an 82.5 head tube. I'm kinda stuck here on what to get. i do have a little bit of a heavy setup. So any help on deck recommendations and if these decks are good for my style would be greatly appreciated. :D set up: Apex bol bars, grips, bar ends, apex scs, tilt headset, Lebaron fork, river wheels, bearings

if you're only doing flippy trick then get yourself an apex, blunt or phoenix deck. Tsi decks aren't meant for that, you're just getting one of the best decks for the wrong reasons. 24 inch tall bars work on 82,5 just fine. When you have 27+ bars, then you need a steeper headtube. When riding park, shorter decks are better for those flippy things, so even with big feet it won't bother you.

It's not that we hate on park riding, it's that we hate the image that comes with most park riding... For the most part, they're immature, colorful children that don't know what they're doing. It does nothing but give the sport a bad rep and will be the end of the sport if something doesn't change.

im cool with park riders unless there the type who just do flyout and have no ediquette. 'park rats' like that just make the sport look bad. if everyone rode street or dan holm style park riding, i think scooters would get a lot less hate

What I'm not allowed to say m8 aka mate? Lol honestly I think its scooter kids or people that have no etiquette. I've seen my share of asshole street riders just as I've seen a lot of snakeing wannabe park riders. Why hate park riders like a lot of skateboarders hate scooter riders in general?
