Title: Would 7.6" trucks be okay for a 7.3" deck?
Post by: ren on August 24, 2016, 07:47:26 PM: I've been interested in skating for 10 years so I'm finally buying a proper skateboard. I'm short and lightweight so I believe a 7.3" deck is ideal. I'm trying to buy all the parts from the same website, but the shortest width they have for trucks is 7.6", and I was wondering if that would work out with the width of my deck. Thanks!

Warehouseskateboards says "Mid-size Deck width: 7.3" – Deck length: 29" For skaters 9 to 12 years old between 4'5" and 5'2" tall who wear size 7-8 shoes"

I'm 5'2" 110 lbs and wear size 7-8 shoes so I figured that would be the best. I think I'd prefer a board that is lighter and smaller because I'm a beginner.
