New deck. It's a 7.5.

I'm thinking about getting this deck and I was wondering, if put 7.5 venture lows with 60 mm ojs will it ride weird or will I just need to get risers?

id say youll almost definately need risers. i have 7.5 habitat cruiser with soft 55s and some pretty big risers. you need them if you wanna ride loose, which you do

thanks, how big are your risers and what trucks do you use? so I know to get bigger if you have low trucks or maybe around the same if you have highs since the wheels will be a little bigger.

It's a cruiser. Tiny wheelbase = quicker turning. It's on purpose. heh

Doesn't the wheelbase have to do with the width of the trucks? I'm confused

Wheelbase is the distance between your front and back wheels. It's the BASE that your WHEELS provide you to stand on, turn, suck a dick, whatever.

Just picked up one for cheap. Pretty much the same shape as a zinger. Hope to skate it in a few months or so but it looks good quality. bottle opener is whatever tho.

Deck, trucks, and bearings are all about 2 years old.  I just got the wheels yesterday (see 'cruiser wheel' thread), but I wanna Rit dye them to another color.  Any suggestions?  I think I'm gonna go with black

I think black is one of the few colors that'll actually work. Unless you want purple.
