I hope someone can steer me in the right direction with this.
So I rode a Baker team deck 8.25 width - 31.875 length - 14.25 WB and switched it up to a Anti - Hero deck with dimensions 8.5 width - 31.62 length - 14.12 WB.
The wider AH deck felt more comfortable and stable for riding and cruising, but also felt too "far away" for doing tricks. The same feeling I had with the baker.
Too far away as in the deck length was too much, could not keep it close to me. As if my legs are too short too handle the length of the deck when it comes to doing tricks. I don't know if this makes any sense...
Been going to an 8" for a while, but really miss the the feeling and stability of the 8.5.
So I want to go back to the 8.5 or 8.25 ( with Indy 149's ), but never really cared for dimensions other than width. Before I make a choice of whatever deck peaks my interest ( and is on sale ) , I was wondering if someone could help me out with the above. Is their a specific shape I have to look for, to have a deck that is 8.25/8.5 wide but doesn't feels so big ? I reckon WB has a play into this?
Thanks in advance!
