Deck size

[DVSkid94]

I have a question about deck size. I am 5.5" with a size 10 shoe. The deck I have now is 7.87. It is good but is harder for flip tricks. Should i go down to a 7.75? :confused:

Welcome to RR!

Yeah its always worth a try. Experiment until you find something you like.

yeah, that would probably be your best bet. i am 5' 7" with a size 9 shoe(13 years old) and i skate 7.5, i like it.

Anything that floats your boat... I've seen a kid that used a 8"0 and could do most flip tricks effortlessly.

i think you mean 5'5" not 5.5". But im about 5' 4 or something with a size 9 and i skate a 7.75" wide deck. i like it alot. But i guess its what China Skate said. What ever floats your boat!

its personal preference dude try what you like likes like how many people try different decks to find just the right wood. just skate different sizes
