this 8.38/5.8 combo is making me regret selling the hollow 6.1s
i ride an 8.5 comfortably...should i buy them again to try and recreate the feeling of added stability? im feeling itchy
I’m all over the map, and have setups that are way too big, so take this ‘advice’ with a heaping mound of salt:
When I buy stuff in my range, I should just keep it, and possibly circle back, instead of getting rid of it and buying it again. What I mean by this is, I, for example, most likely skate best on 8” trucks, so I ride boards 7.75-8.25. I should just stay stocked on 8” trucks. I sprinkle in some 5.0s so I have those around as well.
Iirc, you are a taller person. Having a set of 5.8s and 6.1s isn’t too gnarly. I’ve got a gross amount of trucks. It’s not helpful to my skating. But….whatever.
To try and clean this up, what I’m trying to say, is identify (this is really more for popsicles) your .5” range for deck width, and then just run the truck that works best for that, whilst switching up the decks as you please. Easier for me to adjust to different boards than trucks.
