wat board width?

[Kake Jelly]

heya guys, just getting back into skating after about 1years break at the monent i have a blank hardcore deck its getting a bit worn and am looking for a new deck, i like to skate street and to flip tricks, i also skate parks but mainly do grinds there, i thinking of a baord about 7.6 - 7.750 what do you think and what boards would u recomend

thanks :) :-19:

[Fire_Freek]

Nothing over 8.5...

Don't let anyone tell you not to get 8.0, I've had two they didn't seem any bigger than anyother deck I've had.

[Blind Sheppard]

8.0 is the nicest width, i break anything thinner.

[A dub]

I used to always ride 8" decks, but now I like 7.75s. I recently had a 7.5 and it didn't really affect my skating. It's all a matter of preference

[spenser]

it depends on just HOW easy you want it to flip.

if you want a super fast and easy-flipping board, 7.5 or 7.625 probably. for one that is still easy but maybe wont be TOO easy, 7.75. and if you want one thats pretty normal, or maybe one thats easier to do slower flips with, up to 8. above that, its not hard, but just.... i dont know. you wont be doing crazy flippy shit with it.

I Reckon You Should Get A 8.0 Width And Brands Basically Habitat, Alien Workshop But If I Were You I Would Read The Pro And Cons Of Boards

7.75 is the all out middle-kid. Well for me. I've ridden 8.0's, 7.75, 7.63, 7.5 and 7.3 and so far the best for me is 7.75. Although it is really just personal preferance. Suggest you check em out.

[LIVE2SKATE]

It's mostly personal preference but i ride 8.0-8.25 but i do mostly vert

[Jon1289]

i like 7.5s. they're easy to flip, light, and are fun to look at.

[skat3forfood]

i like 7.75's myself... theres that nice little extra room

[spenser]

[kool richi]

Is there any noticable difference between 7.63 and 7.75?

[crazy_dave]

No not really. Just personal preferance.

[spenser]

i can tell the difference. but yeah, its not a big one at all, obviously.

[fallensk8er345]

7.5.....7.75

[Element 4 life]

7.5 7.65 or 8.0 is whati would skate..any thing smaller is a bit harder to land on

[AdioBird52]

It depends how old you are.

9-14: 7.3-7.63
14-10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000-7.75-8.0

[gmgsci]

guhwhat? age doesnt matter, weight and height barely make a difference. most of it is preference.

[snow_skate]

that sums it all up

[isk8darkstar]

its all shoe size and preference
i have a tiny foot (size 4.5 or 5 US) so i ride a 7.25 though its really hard to land on when i do flip tricks.

[spenser]

god damnit, its NOT shoe size.

the ONLY TIME its EVER shoe size is if you have REALLY small feet or REALLY big feet. but otherwise, its TOTALLY your preference.
