What is the best size truck for a 7.75 - 8.0. I've never really cared but was just wondering if truck size affected your skate ability too?

once you hit 8" decks, you go for 8" trucks. its POSSIBLE to ride with 7.75 trucks, sure, but thats where you should change.

I don't think it really does except for when your doing primos, and that style of skating.

buy trucks that are 1/4 the size of the length of your board. low risers ~7.5's are good for street skateing

Not true. 7.75's are easier to do flip tricks with, plus if you have big feet you need a big board.

If I have a 7.5 skateboard what would be the best size trucks for it?
