need help from people who skate 8''(and over) width decks

[manual-man1112]

ok, i want to know that if i buy an 8 size board, does it really matter if i have 7.75 size trucks on it, or should i buy 8 size trucks?

if you do this, please explain the pros and cons



yes, this is a re-post, i had it in the skate products section but i needed a more specific title, so i hoped putting in the the deck section might be better

[IRideGirls2DW]

wont matter much

[Ripped.]

It doesnt matter, unless you like doing primos... primos suck dont do them

[H3TT1NG3R]

ya shudnt be a prob. but if ur buying new trucks anyways then just get 8" ones

[Banana Terrocotta Pie]

since the trucks are a few millimeters smaller than the deck youll have slightly better flip.
otherwise it doesn't make a difference at all.
7.5 trucks on an 8 might be weird though...
but really, think about it, how big is a millimeter? is 15 of those really gonna make any difference?

well if you really like your primo tricks try and get the 8" trucks, but I would get the 7.75 trucks - easier to flip and a slight less chance of wheelbite.

it wont matter really i do it all the time

i would get the right size truck. i found it turned badl with to smaller trucks

any bets you haven't even tried an 8" deck with 7.75 inch trucks, because if you had, you would realise that 7.75 trucks turn exactly the same no matter what width deck you have.

i had a city which was an 8 and a baker which was a 8.25 and because the board is bigger than your trucks, they feel losser and i found it felt unstable. ok
btw i have royal evo 5 which im prety sure are for 7.5 to 7.75

perhaps your trucks felt too loose because they were loose, did that thought ever occur to you? Because a wide board does not magically make trucks looser.

i have an 8.12 deck and i use wider trucks on it, but its more a park skating deck.

wow ever heard of leverage? more leverage the easier it is to more something. i keep my trucks the same

[gluestick]

My deck is 8.0625 (Yes it was actually that specific) and my trucks are for 7.5 - 7.75 (I think), I can't feel anything wrong with it.

I have no comeback, since I'm not quite sure what the hell your on about. Next time, try to write in proper sentences.

[manual-man1112]

whoa whoa whoa, no more fighting, i just wanted my question answered, and it was (thanx to all of you), but i dont need drama in my threads (especially when it's a stupid arguement).

[Sk8maniac]

yeah fair enough, sorry.
