deck size

[fuktards]

I started out with a 7.75 and been getting a 7.75 since woul it be harder to leran fliptricks in 8's? or should I go with a 7.8 first??

[graffeedy5]

nah, everything gets easier the bigger you go, I'm skating an 8.5 and have no problems flipping it. Easier to catch tricks though, and my tricks get higher every deck size I go up.

[erickoston=beast]

get whatever feels more comfortable

[happy-skateboarding]

i ride 8's but its all preference id try it if i were you

[B-Dawg]

I prefer 8s, feels more comfy

I think flip tricks are easier on bigger decks... it's not the deck that effects flip tricks.. it's the size trucks you have.(as in length, not highs or lows.)
I would go with an 8 and ifyou like it try an 8.25.
I'm still contemplating whether to moe up to an 8.5 or not..

7.9 is good or even a 7.8 but whatever is good for you

thnx for saying that because i recently got some indy 149's and my kickflips suck monkey balls feels sow weird. im gonna put back my 139's and check that out.

Im skating an 8.4 right now and I can do all my previous tricks that I used to do on my 7.75 with even higher pop and more steeze.

[fuktards]

so the deck size doesnt have anything to do with fliptricks?? so its in the size of the trucks??

[popwar isnt war]

Skinnier decks flip faster but are harder to catch. I like really big decks so on the few flip tricks I do I can catch that shit easy.

[king]

its all personal preference but imo people have a shittier style if theyre riding like a 7.5 or something

[DagzNotDead]

bigger the better, but don't go from 7.5 to an 8.5 straight away, make small upgrades every deck you buy

[Sucks at skating]

8.3 is for me.

[dayquest]

Maybe get a 7.87 or 8.0. That way you could still use your old 7.75 trucks.

Yeah, with a bigger deck... you could do things more flatfooted and less on your toes... thus adds more "steez" as some would say.

[fuktards]

thanks for the helpguys il probably get a 7.875 deck

[surreyskate13]

get an 8 inch with 139 indys and ur good to go

[Lakai.]

What I've noticed i moved up from a 7.45 to an 8, it's weird for about a day, and then you'll love it, anything smaller seems tiny and completely illogical to ride, so much easier to land on bigger boards...
