Should I Upgrade?

[i_don't_know]

i usually skate a 7.5 deck. i have size 10 feet. i can never keep control of the board and when i land 50% of the time my toes scrape the ground. the only reason i'm asking you guys is because i'm skeptical if i'll be able to do flip tricks as easily with a bigger board. if you think it won't make much of a difference for flip tricks, tell me. i'd like to know what's harder/easier to do on a bigger deck. i'm thinking of a 7.75. thanks.

most tricks are that hard on a bigger deck. It shouldnt make too much of a difference.

For some people it changes, the only way to find out is to try one out. I never notice a change unless it's from a 7.5 to an 8.

i went from 7.5 to 7.75 and it was a great improvement.

what size are your feet? and what improved?

[Foundation999]

I skate 7.625 and I wear 10.5.
I cant do much on a 7.75.

I don't think you need the upgrade but if you want to then go for it.

itll take awhile to get used to the newer sized board, but once u do itll be the greatest improvement in ur skating.......besides vulc shoes

[i_don't_know]

you think i should try a 7.62 first? or is 7.75 ok? i'm really confused. i've been skating 7.5 since i started.

7.75 made my tricks so much more steezy

[adio]

get 7.75 tis the best size ever

[i_don't_know]

ok, 100% of you said get the 7.75. but what i'd like to know is, what are the advantages? and how is it different control-wise?

[skatecityPBurgh]

I wear 11's and just today moved up to a 7.62. So I say just move up a bit to 7.6, because 7.75 would be a big change, at least with 7.62 your gradually moving up.

i wear the same size shoes as you and i went from a 7.5 to a 7.8 and it helped me so much it's crazy. It's easier to keep control, and theres more board, so it's harder to toe-tap than with a skinnier board

[tweaked]

its all preference, but id say go with 7.75, i feel safer ona wider board

[ArK9]

7.75 or even 8.

Try them, I think you will like them.

I have uk size 12 and ride a 7.5, but it's different for everyone and if you are having trouble then try the 7.75

[lpescato]

just wait until yor board is broke and try another, then another, then another, and eventually you will become loyal to a size and brand i am sure. love takes time.
