I dont know if this is the place to ask but I'll try anyway, has anyone successful done 8 inch board with 8.25 truck setup?
I haven't seen exactly 8 inch board on 8.25 trucks but I know many people who don't mind having wider trucks than the deck. That 0.25" difference probably makes your wheels flush with the board.
I actually been running 8.25 with thunder 149 for the longest time find no problem, my only concern tail shapes with 8 inch boards cause I have no experience with them
149s on an 8.25 is damn fine, nice and squared up without your axels sticking out.
Yeah I actually had no problems with that setup, but curiosity got the better of me after few short lived swapped parts now im running polar 8.25 with thunder 148 teams on 52s I really like it.
Then the other day I met this dude who had a old worn 8 inch jart deck, thunder 147 teams and same 52s. One attempt to ollie with his deck I could immediately tell I can pop higher and with less effort.
So now I back to wondering about setups again, the plan is to next change is to a 8 inch deck but hopefully keep the tail size almost similar to my current setup cause I love how comfortable polar tail for setting up tricks.
